Third person's Point of view:
"SOS department... Gitna ng gubat...  Devil's basement... Uggggh! I really hate this sh*t." pabulong na saad ni Kiss sabay sabunot sa buhok niya. Hindi niya matandaan kung saan niya nailagay o napunta ang bag niya. Nasa parte sila ng gubat ngayon kung saan nangyari dati ang paghabol niya sa puting pusa. Hindi rin siya makausap ng maayos ng mga lalaki dahil ramdam nila ang maitim na awra na nakapalibot kay Kiss. Kahit ang leader na si Ash ay hindi magawang lapitan at kausapin siya.
"I've never seen her like that before. Mas nakakatakot siya ngayon." Bulong ni Nathan sa katabi niyang si Eugine.
"She's really strong, and scary. Ayokong mangyari sa atin ang ginawa niya kay Heru kaya manahimik ka nalang diyan at baka marinig ka pa." Sagot naman ni Eugine at nagpatuloy na sila sa paghahanap ng nawawalang bag ni Kiss. Kung nagttanong kayo kung nasaan si Heru, Andun tulog pa din. Kasama nito si Jairus bilang bantay niya. lol. (Pasensiya na if magulo iyong kwento. Sa last chapter hindi ko namention si Jairus so isipin niyo nalang na nandoon siya. lol.)
"Hunter, Philip, go to your departments and bring them here. No more questions, just do it." saad ni Kiss sa dalawa. Akmang magsasalita pa sana si Ash ngunit pinigilan na siya ng dalawa.

Ash's POV:
"Don't do anything stupid Ash. Just let her do what she wants. She's different now." Franco said as he looks at Kiss. Wait, what!?
"Hey, I'm your Leader and I'm not stupid, you idiot! Ready yourself after this and you'll be punished." I said with a cold voice. I'm still their leader and they must respect me even if Kiss is there. Calling me Stupid will just reflect them.
"I d-did not say you're stupid Ash. Y-you misunderstood it." Franco stuttered as he said those words. Now he's denying!? Tsk.
"Nakita niyo 'yon!?" Nathan said that caught our Attention. He's a few meters away from us and it looks like he saw something.
"What? What is it?" Kiss asked. She really is eager to find what she's looking for.
"I saw something, i mean someone in there. I'm not really sure. I don't know if it was a thing or a Person." Nathan said as he points his finger in a... Tree?
"Do you want to die now, Nathan? Are you making fun of me?" Kiss said coldly. She's definitely pissed right now. I can see it in her eyes.
"No K-kiss! I'm telling the truth. I really saw something, I mean s-someone! Ughhh i don't really know.  Mabilis lang yun pero I swear, nakita ko siya sa punong iyon. And I think, that creature has your b-bag." utal-utal na saad ni Nathan. He's f*cking nervous and it was my first time seeing him acting like that. Isa lang ang sigurado ako, Takot sila sa maaaring gawin ng babaeng ito. I looked at Kiss to see what's her reaction but it was hard to tell. Just who are you Kiss? What are you really?
"Okay. We can't prove if you're telling the truth so why not go in there Nathan? Don't worry. We're on your back." Kiss said. Kita ko naman ang pagkabigla ng mga kasama ko especially Nathan. Okay, i forgot to tell you that the location of that tree is kinda creepy. We can't see it clearly because of the thick fog that sorrounds all over the place. It has a dark aura that will make you feel coward. This is also one of the reasons why most of us don't want to be in this forest or stay out in this forest.
"Ah K-kiss, namamalikmata lang ata ako baka nga wala lang yun. H-hahaha. Oo wala lang yun. T-tara alis n-na tayo. hehe." Nathan said but Kiss stop him.
"Naduduwag ka ba? I see, you're all nothing, but a coward." malamig na saad nito. Wait, did she just said all of us? This girl doesn't know what she's saying. Tsk.
"You know nothing so pls. shut your mouth." I said. this girl is getting out of the line.
"Oh my bad. Did i hurt your egos? Tsk." sagot nito.
"O-okay okay. Stop it. Ito na. Gagawin ko na. Wala naman talagang nakakatakot dito. hehe. Diba Eugine?" Awat sa amin ni Nathan at sinimulan na ang paglalakad. Sumunod naman kami agad sa kaniya. Tsk. She should be thankful dahil baka pinatulan ko na siya kanina. Tsk.
"Y-yeah. Wala naman talagang n-nakakatakot dito. H-hahaha?" Eugine said and ackwardly laugh. Kung may tumatawang nagtatanong, Si Eugine yun. -_- After a few minutes, nakarating din kami sa kinalalagyan ng Puno. Now that we're here infront of this tree, i can see that it was not really that big. I think it was just because of the fog that sorrounds it.
"Wait, is this a secret passage?" Naagaw ang atensiyon namin ng lumapit si Kiss sa Puno. We were surprised to see a stair behind it which is obviously, papunta sa baba. It was like a hole or more like a cave underground.(sorry, it's hard to explain. lol). Kiss, without a sign of fear in her face, followed the stairs.
"W-wait Kiss. Come back here. We don't know what's in there." pagpipigil sa kaniya ni Franco.
"Tsk. I don't really care. If you're all afraid to go down here, It's okay. You don't need to act like you cared and you're scared of what will happen to me." Kiss answered. Franco became silent after he heard her words. Tsk. That girl is pushing our limits.
"We will go down. Don't let her think that we're nothing compared to her. She maybe different from us but it's not a reason for her to belittle us. Show her that she's wrong. We're not proclaimed as number 1 in all the Departments here if we're nothing. As your Leader, I want you to show her what we got. Let's be serious this time." I said with a determined face. Agad naman silang napatango and in that moment, They started to show who they truly was. Now, just wait Kiss, because you'll see the real face behind our mask. We're not called the 'Bad Blood' Department if we ain't got one. Tsk.

Her Point of View:
I felt a strong auras as i continued to walk and follow the path which the stairs lead me. Hmmm. I didn't know my words will affect them. Should i be thankful to this menstruation? Nah. It just irritates me. Well, Good for them. I'm excited to see what they got. That's right, show me the real you.
Now, where is that creature who have my bag?

Hunter's POV:
"What do you mean Hunter? What is she trying to find?" King asked.
"It's her bag. There is something in her bag that is important and she badly needs it. We don't know what it is. She doesn't told us. It's unidentified." I answered.
"So you're telling us that she wants our help to find a thing that is unidentified? How weird she is. Right!?" Ace said with an amusement. Tsk. Obviously, hindi sinabi sa akin ni Kiss na kailangan niya ng tulong. It was not a help, it was more like a command Ace. Nagsinungaling lang ako. Tsk.
"So where is she now?" tanong ni Jack.
"She's in the forest with the Bad blood department." sagot kong muli sa mga tanong nila.
"WHAT!? You let her again to be with those idiots!? Ugghh. I hope my Princess is okay." parang baliw na saad ni Prince. She's no one's princess. Tsk.
"Are we just going to talk here? The time is running." Seryosong saad ni Knight. I didn't know she is also that interested on that Girl.
"Okay. Be ready. Our mission is not just to help that girl, but to get that girl." Our Leader, King said with an evil smile form on his lips.

Philip's POV:
"Are you sure nanghihingi siya ng tulong Kuya? From what i have observed, hindi po siya 'yong tipong manghihingi ng tulong." Saad ni Kyle sa akin nang sabihin ko sa kanila ang tungkol kay Kiss at nanghihingi ito ng tulong kahit ang totoo'y inutusan talaga kami nito.
"She's the bossy type Kyle, for sure nagsisinungaling 'tong si Philip." sagot naman ni James.
"Okay. Hindi siya humihingi ng tulong. Dahil sa ayaw o sa gusto natin, kailangan natin siyang sundin. You don't want to see her when she's angry. She's totally different. Kaya kung ako sa inyo, sumama nalang kayo sa'kin." mahaba kong litanya sa kanila.
"Nasaan siya ngayon?" Tanong sa akin ng leader naming si Kuya Black.
"Nasa kagubatan siya kasama ang leader at tatlong miyembro ng Bad blood department." sagot ko dito.
"Hindi ba't delikado doon? They will be in trouble kapag lumagpas sila sa hangganan." Saad ni Charles na ipinagtaka ko at ng iba pa maliban kay Jayson.
"Ganito 'yon. Napuntahan niyo na ba ang parte ng gubat na hindi tinatamaan ng sikat ng Araw? Iyong lugar na napapalibutan ng makapal na hamog? Hindi tayo pwedeng lumagpas doon. Kusang nag iilaw at tumutunog ang HBX13 watch natin kapag lumagpas tayo. The sound will trigger the unknown wild beasts of the forest. And yes, out of curiousity, lumagpas kami ni Charles sa hangganan. Muntik na kaming mamatay ni Charles nang dahil doon. The Wild beasts are like the Guards of the forest. May binabantayan sila na ayaw nilang makuha o malaman natin. Nakakatakot ang mga itsura nila. We will never be free in this world. We have limitations." Mahabang saad ni Jayson. Kita sa mga mata nito ang takot senyales na hindi niya nais pang tumapak doon.
"Kung ganoon, maghanda kayo. Pupunta tayo sa gubat at hahanapin si Kiss." Saad ni Kuya black. He's the leader of this group and we must follow his decision.
"Maiwan kayo dito Jayson and Charles. Kami na ang bahala." dugtong nito. He maybe our Leader but he's Kind. He knows how to handle this kind of situation.
"N-no Kuya. Sasama kami." saad ni Jayson ng makabawi sa pagkagulat.
"Tama po si Jayson. Tyaka hindi niyo po alam kung saang parte ng gubat ang tinutukoy namin." pagsang-ayon naman ni Charles.
"Sigurado ba kayong okay lang sa inyo?" Tanong ulit ni Kuya Black. Napatango naman ang dalawa.
"Kung ganoon, huwag na tayong mag aksaya ng oras kuya black. Puntahan na natin si Kiss." Biglang singit ni Kyle at kita namin ang seryosong mukha nito dala ang kanyang bag na puno ng armas.
"Ang kyut mo Kyle. Isa ka nga talagang batang may laban." pang-aasar sa kanya ni James na sinundan naman ng iba.
