Keizen's Point of view:
After I changed my clothing into a cozy t-shirt with shorts and this house of Ate Isha is a vibe. Super warm than the outside, as I'm alone in this room they offered me, well older sister of Ate Isha did. As I sat in my bed, wow it's like a hotel, but this is all made out of wood? -Hindi ba ito na anay? Ay snow nga pala. Ano kayang insect ang naninirahan dito.- I asked myself.
Yawn, well I look on the clock near the small cabinet that is beside my bed. -Puro babae ang nakatira rito. Kasama ko rin pero nasa kabilang kwarto sila.- I said to myself again. Yeah, I miss my skateboard and my buddies, they rock! I take my phone out from my bag and I see that the time is the same as this clock?! 12:00am weird, and somehow there is no signal.
It's like I'm at the province, no gadgets involved most likely useless. So I stand up and try to open the small cabinet next to my bed, I open the first...nothing, and I open the second... there's a flashlight, okay let me take that. I open the last one...a newspaper? So I take that also and sat on my bed again, so I open the first page, "Grabe kapal ng dyaryo na 'to." I thought as I wasn't surprise to see it in different language maybe it's Icelandic? Hoping to see a english in it before I give up.
However I found it, -Breaking news: Beware of wild wolfs that has been lurking in Vík í Mýrdal Boulevard. Most active at night, best to stay at home. Grabe iba na to sa asong gala, malamang atakihin ka talaga ng mga ito.- I commented on it as I read. So I became curious and crawl on the bed towards the window to take a view outside...Gago— there's many of them walking but the house that is next to ours is blocking my view! Could this house move a little bit? Damn this window is getting blurry, and when I touch it was cold my fingers got stuck for a moment cause I hold onto it, but thank goodness I let it go.
I know this time they are asleep, as I look at the door, it was made out of wood but the design is cooking. The flashlight I'm holding is still working, but why my instincts told me to go out? I should not listen but it's forcing me.
Therefore I stand up on my bed, it was bouncy. I walk and jump to reach the floor, as I came close to the door, I heard a door just closed. In this house there is four rooms, yeah, a big family I see. But only their Dad, older sister and Isha living here not to mention their adoptive brother, Ate Isha told me and well I heard his name is Tarquin Cañete. By the way their mom died because she was sick a severe one, condolence.
Anyway my room is located near the kitchen, while Alicia's room is near the living room, so in this hallway at the end are two rooms facing each other. So now you remember? Hope so.
I feel like that person is heading to the kitchen, I hear a running water in the sink. It stopped? Huy! There's someone knocking at the door, as I hear a wolf barking and even did a howl. This is insane! It's keeps knocking louder why do Alicia or Ate Isha don't open it? Oh well this late at night would you open? Absolutely not.
I should go check, I slowly open and push the door, thankfully I can see the door which is next to the kitchen and the living room cool right? I saw Alicia! And it looks like she is walking backwards, I guess she is scared.
I push the door and went towards Alicia but we bump eachother, well she's the one who did it. She turn around and screams she is scared. Haha scaredy cat, -Ano-ano takot?- I said as I actually tease her, as she gets mad and push me away. -Ikaw kaya magbukas! Tignan natin sino mas takot!- she challenged me, I ain't scared of nothing. So I came past her and as I reach the door, I closed my eyes, I've never been this shaky before.
I hold onto the door knob, as my hands are still shaking, I got surprised by those loud knocking and I let go and couldn't do it anymore. Shit, why did I lose?! I turned around and I told her a dare, -If you ask who's there, then you love me.- I dont know why did I say that but it just came out of my mouth?!
-*Chuckles Do you think I would do that? Englishero!- she maybe teased me with that, as she came pass me to the right when exactly the window is! Boy, I didn't know?! She open the curtains a little to take a peek of who's outside of the door, -Sino, Alicia?- I asked as she seems serious looking might get old, forgot her glasses.
I remember one time she had a crush on me, as she likes how well I use my skateboard, while we were on Australia at the AustraMars planet. But during the time she lost feelings and had a boyfriend who is also my friend...Mark. I don't know if they broke up, I hope som I don't like him being with Alicia, it's just not right. I know he is a prince at the coral reef kingdom and had bad intentions with her, he's a monster. He's been putting her in danger.
I know, you knew that I have a relationship with Susan and it lasted for maybe a year but slowly got no time for eachother, arguments, and I'd like to call a toxic relationship so we broke up. It's better to move on from that, I hope Susan too.
Okay let's go back as Alicia answered me, -There are many teenagers like us? Hmm...they are freezing? Let them in, Keizen!- so I didnt have a second thought and just open the door revealing Lance? And other teenagers! They hurry and after that I closed the door because it's windy and the wild wolfs are on the streets.

Jasmine's point of view:
Finally we reach a warm home that I've been longing for. Thanks to that reddish boy for saving us, cause I totally couldn't remember what happened like only when I woke up from that sleep as the reddish cute boy warn us to not smell the medicine, it stinks by the way.
It's surprising we are teenagers here, as those two who open us the door might be love birds, so the reddish boy is actually Jael's pirate friend, well she is surprised that he grow up good-looking but quite skinny. Seeing that the reddish boy is talking to them, and the two lovebirds offered us a seat at the kitchen table. Not surprising that the chair is made of wood just like the house, but the carving design is brilliant!
Whoever made this should come to me, so we can make a deal for putting up a business. I'll be the boss for managing the business while the designer would do the planning—
Oh I forgot, my friend sitting next to me is telling something and keeps getting my attention, I didn't know I was daydreaming my fault.
-Jas, okay ka lang? Sabihin mo kay Jael gutom na tayo.- he told me as he has his head lie down on the table, with his arms.
-Sige,- I said and turn to my left where Jael is, looks like she is having a discussion with those love birds. Therefore let me get her attention as I pat her head, back, shoulders it doesn't work?! Lastly I pat her arm and finally the girl with a green hair looking pretty badass soon, told Jael that I need her attention and that's when she looks at me.
It looks like I'm her child though, I love her. -Ano?!- she said, so I tell her -Jael were hungry. Is there any food?- so in her response she put a sign of wait using her hands, and turn to ask the two love birds, -Sorry for the interruption but may I ask if there's any food?- she grinned, looking nervous while asking.
I see that the pretty girl realized it and walk towards the kitchen counter, I see to the stove her looking for food in the cabinet and grab a juice like a small box one. She served it at us wow, -This is a chocolate milk, and— she said and turn around to take something from another cabinet.
A basket filled with a messed up croissant, but as she served it at us, it was like two basket full of them! -Wow so many!- our xiao leader said, -Could you explain this—food.- he asked, as I still heard that Jael is back to having a discussion with those two boys. Well I couldn't deny it, but you'll get used to it, I might be thinking that's the reason we are put in danger.
Wait...sike! I still couldn't remember. -This chocolate milk is Kókómjólk, basta kayo na mag adjust. Tapos this one is not a croissant but a doughnut~ called Kleinur. Oh gets niyo na?- she said, afterwards we eat this yummy Kleinur or I'd like to call it a rolling croissant.
During dinner I raised my hand to get that girls attention, as she received it. -May I ask, what's your name?- I asked, so she answered while sitting at the end middle table, -Alicia, Alicia, my name. What's yours?- she asked at the end, -Im Jasmine.- I responded, but that gives me an idea. Because of that I tap my seatmates shoulder, as I got his attention I told him, -Hey dapat may introduce yourself tayo.- in that he said, -Sige ako si— English ba? Okay my name is Cyrus, I'm 14 years old but just turned 15. My birthday is on January.- so it's my turn and said, -Mine is Jasmine, my birthday is on October, so I'm still 13.- next is our xiao leader, -Hello, I'm Gabriel...my birthday is almost there, turning 13.- next unexpected was the reddish boy, -Lance here, March 13th is my birthday, turning 17.- followed next to him is the dyed? Blonde haired boy, -My name is Keizen, Keizen. Birthday on February 16th, so I'm 16 now.- he grinned.
Mentioning that reddish boy is so cold than this snow. Next is my what I call mommy is her turn, -I'm Jael, and my birthday is in September, so still 13.- she smile at the end. We somehow stare at that pretty girl, curious of who she is. A bit shy at first but in a minute she answer because some of us were encouraging her, -Hi my name is Alicia and my birthday is on July, so I'm still 13 too.- she said, yah go girl 13th besties.
-Wait, Gabriel when is your birthday?- Alicia asked what a pretty name, so he answered, -Hate to say but...March 6.- that makes Jael say, -Bueno, let's celebrate!- and the cold reddish boy added, -Matagal pa, pero paghanda natin. Let's prepare!- wow that cold in him is melting, but my trust issues is kicking in.
Forgot to mention those two boys who mommy's talking to is still standing, and the melting reddish boy is leaning on the table.

A cold wind is passing through them, as they walk through a town with large metal sign which is a billboard. They look up at stares at it, and a tan skin girl reads, -Welcome to, Vík í— Mýrdal Boulevard?- while they wear winter clothes, yet their teacher friend is freezing and isn't used to this cold climate. It was night when they came.
The guy with a mullet hair said, -Okay this town seems cool, we should get shelter first.- as he looks at the freezing friend that is shaking, -Let's... hurry.- she said, so they began to walk through the boulevard after that they reach the path walk, where they see a road. It was night that day, -Charles, is there any hotel or motel whatsoever?- the tan skin girl asked, and he replies, -Do you think I lived here, Nikki?- without looking, because of that she replied, -Well my point is do you see any?-
Shoes walking through a trail of ice and it's kinda slippery, as awkward laugh he had here, and said, -Come on that was sarcastic.- While Charles looks at her, and she doesn't, -No, I know. I'm just ignoring it.- looks like she is worried, and her friend added, -T-that's right C-Charles, go straight—to the point.- while their another friend just listen and is quiet for a minute.
A lamp post is bringing light towards the road, as they somehow glance at their Vietnamese friend, and that makes her uncomfortable therefore she looks at them, -What? Is there any problem? I see that over there is a motel.- she said as they turn back to look, and it was true, -Thank goodness the staring has stopped.- she felt relieved, -3 star motel, looks like a good one. let's go, Hạnh. let's go.- Charles said as he looks at Hạnh Huệ too maybe she isn't paying attention.
They have arrived at the 3 star motel and walk to the left as they see cars, jeep and trucks. On the parking lot, and next to it is another building. Nikki pointing out, -Look maybe that's the receptionist area.- she said, as they follow her, somehow a little cars are parked, when they reach the entrance and present to them is a glass door that seems solid. A warm light bulb on the ceiling, is such a vibe. As well as the building or even the motel is painted red and white. Hạnh is the first to open the door followed by Sofia, Nikki and Charles.
Inside the temperature is warm and getting high, and finally Sofia got relieved. Charles looks at their Vietnamese friend and said, -Hey, Hạnh Huệ, could you pay for us? Have you exchanged your dong into a... Sofia! what does the Iceland currency thing called?- he turn around to see her with Nikki, -It's called Króna, Charles.- so he turn to say it again but he just point it out. By that Hạnh well nodded, and walk to the receptionist, -Hello. How much for one night?- she asked, while the middle aged woman receptionist looks at her, -Jæja, fyrst af stað (Well first thing off), I wanna say welcome at Blár einhyrningur.- she grinned, but the customers are both confused.
Because of that the ginger guy said, -Hi Ma'am, sorry to bother but, what does that mean? I mean the motel's name, in English?- then the receptionist realised and said, -Oh you mean, okay it's Blue Unicorn. Ta-da!- awkward laugh she had. In response of the customers just smiles, -Okay Ma'am, how much is a one night stay?- Charles asked, and she replied, -Its 32357.50 Krónur in one night...or for you foreigners it's, $250.- that leaves him shocked, and the receptionist added, -We usually accept debit or credit card.- while he put hands in his pocket, and asked to the short boyish blue hair, -Hạnh, do you have a card with you?- while she search from her bag and takes off a wallet. She takes her debit card, and said, -Hello Ma'am, in one room, it's only for one person?- in response she nodded.
The receptionist looks at her and politely said, -Looks like there are only 3 rooms left, Miss. Other rooms are booked.- after that she pay using the debit card and she received the three guests keys. The two gave thanks to the receptionist, while the two women are having a coffee from that vending machine without their friends knowing. They now headed outside, as a freezing temperature hits them, -No, not this again.- their four eyes friend said, as they stopped, -Okay one room is supposed to be two person. Let's decide who?- Hạnh said, -I'm okay alone.- the ginger guy with a mullet informed them as he reach out his hand to get the key no. 5, so Hạnh did it. -I guess it's better if Sofia and Curly Joy are together.- Charles recommended after that he leaves. Hạnh then turn to them and said, -Okay, Sofia are you two okay with that?- in their response she nodded, but seems like Nikki take the key no. 4 and told her partner, -Let's go, I don't want you to turn into a snowman.- in an annoyed tone. Leaving Hạnh Huệ outside as she takes a look at the key from the palm hand, and said, -Wow, I didn't know they pick their Person number. All that's left is key no. 6.- she grinned, now walks to her room, and while she stares at the door with a number in it as she walks.
She stopped to see a poster as she stands in front of her room no. 6, next to the door is the poster. It's a picture of them with color, she touch the poster to read the paragraph in it. -Missing! Astronauts... squad, their last call from the radio, This is the greatest discovery we ever had! This is Posro!— after that they didn't come back. The Sitaw government, President Asher Busch speaking, -It's been 2 years since they didn't make a difference in their discovery, we are disappointed that year.- also there is the Senator Summer "Sam" Sabado statement, -That's the reason why our Astronauts squad is now making ends meet. But as we heard their last call we are terribly sorry for them, we done anything to contact and trace them but seems like they are nowhere to be found.-
In that Hạnh Huệ take off that poster to see it clearly, as she is scared and confused at the same time, so she read the last sentence, -Since its past last year 2011 I want to say that they are dead. If you ever see them, just end them. - the president of Sitaw, Asher Busch, commanded.
Hạnh then senses someone to her left it feels like a distance from it, as she turn to that person, and is afraid. -No...everyone knew! We will be dead... Because we are useless!- she angry said while tears drop from her face. The person is a guy standing wearing a winter clothes and a beanie. He slowly smiles, and said, -Well...it's your fault that you made yourself famous, your people just need to get rid of you.- from that voice she knows it is the President of Sitaw country. "Shit this is bad, I can't remember anything that happens to us. I didn't know we are the Astronauts squad." She starts to cry but she still can control it. -No that's not true, Sir Asher. You just thought.- she said as she isn't scared of him. Awkward laugh he has, and said, -You know, Hạnh Huệ... You just made a mistake by talking to that receptionist.- in that he starts to step forward but luckily Hạnh use her telekinesis to open the door to shut him, and hurry up inside the room. She used her powers again to shut the door and holds the door knob to lock it, forgot to mention she already unlocked the door before using her powers.
While Asher knocks so hard repeatedly, and said, -Open the door!- but in response, -No! I don't get it why you just want us dead!- she yelled. However the knocking stopped as she heard him say something, -There are some people... Who loves you and those who don't— they want to kill you. The Astronauts squad! You, Hạnh Huệ didn't know I added a wanted poster on you guys. Seems like you forgot that.- he said that looks like a threat. -Can you please leave! Leave us alone! Don't do this... Go away!- she begged, and she didn't know that he is inside. "Huh? He is an Engkanto! I can feel him behind me. Please Charles, Nikki, and Sofia...help." she thought as suddenly when she turn around and saw him, he rush to grab her neck as if suffocating her. -Tsk, tsk, tsk. No respect from the Engkanto's, sure you'll be cursed.- he said, as with his cold gloves makes it easier. -Có lời cuối cùng nào không? Hạnh Huệ bé nhỏ của tôi? (Any last words? My little Hạnh Huệ?)- he smirked, as she couldn't speak and about to give up looking that her eyes begin to close.
(Page 4 - Stop him!)
All of the sudden the door burst to take down, as from that Asher then throw Hạnh to the floor on the right. She had fainted, and seeing from the outside is her friends all awake and the one who broke the door down is Charles, all of them are angry, as leaving Asher shock. -How?!- he asked, -Well Hạnh Huệ's telekinesis helped us. We know she needs help, from the knock, seeing an object outside, and inside moving. It ain't a ghost for nothing.- Nikki said. However before their boss could speak, their a little freezing friend step up and unleash a energy blast that came from the sun, using her hands. As her tattoo begins to shine, making Asher scream. After that his clothes has fire in them and his face has now a blister causing a degree burn. He then fell on his knees, as screams in pain.
Then Charles step forward to him and punch his head after that he kicks his head too, making a nosebleed. Then Nikki go to her fainted friend and checks on her as she holds her. Meanwhile Sofia feels like somebody is next to her and is surprised, -Aww man, why would you do that to the poor lady? How dare you?- he said as it seems like a tease. She is alarm and attack him with her hand about to perform a punch, yet he grabs her wrist. Stopping it, as the ginger guy turn around scared, -Sofia! Hit him!- he shouted, as the guy infront of Sofia said, -You know Sofia, it's bad that your love ones will curse you for what you did. Abandonment? Too bad.- little did he know that a energy blast from
