A year later, another leap year approaches. The past returns to haunt them once again.

Her P.O.V
“Tama na… Ayoko na, please… Hindi ko na kaya… Patayin ninyo na lang ako!” Hindi ko alam kung sigaw na ba ang ginawa kong iyon pero batid kong iyon na ang pinakamalakas na boses na kayang ilabas ng namamaga kong mga labi. Muli akong napaluha kahit tila said na said na ang mga mata ko ng mapatingin sa lalaking nakatali sa kinauupuan niya at naliligo sa sariling dugo. Nakatungo na ang ulo niya na halos madurog na ang bungo dahil sa ilang ulit na pagkakapukpok kanina. At ang lalong nakapanlumo sa akin ay ang mabatid na wala na siyang buhay.
“Pare, tama na daw oh. Eh hindi pa nga kami nag-eenjoy!” sigaw ng isang lalaking nakahubad.
“Ahhhh!!!!” Pakiramdam ko ay mahihimatay na ako nang muli nilang latiguhin ang katawan ko. Bakit ba hindi na lang ako nahimatay? O bakit ba hindi na lang ako mamatay? Hindi ko na halos maigalaw pa alinmang parte ng aking katawan pero ramdam ko pa rin ang lahat ng sakit na ginagawa nila sa akin. Hubo’t-hubad nila akong itinali ng nakahiga at nakaharap sa kanila habang pinapaso ng sigarilyo ang iba’t-ibang parte ng katawan ko. Ang pinakamasakit ay nang ginawa nilang ashtray ang pusod ko.
“Oo! Babe, nagsisimula pa lang tayo, alam mo ba iyon?” sigaw naman ng isang lalaki na wala ring suot na anumang saplot sa katawan.
“Ahhhhh!!! Tama na please… Ayoko na…” muling sigaw ko sa pagbabakasakaling baka maawa pa sila sa akin sa kabila ng pamumula ng kanilang mga mata habang muling nilalatigo ang mgahita kong naghalo na ang kulay ube at itim.
Sila? Ilan nga ba silang lahat na demonyong nakapaligid sa akin ngayon? Tatlo? Apat? Lima? Ilan ba silang mga demonyong nagpakasarap sa katawan ko ng paulit-ulit at ngayon ay pinaglalaruan gamit ang ilang matitigas na bagay?
