Time fly so fast, Hario and Isabelle manage to get a small safer place of their own, but something unexpected happened.
During one of their usual hangout, Hario and Izzy came across a feisty event. There was a huge commotion in the market where Hario works. On that day, Hario just rounded up his working time, he wanted to take Izzy out on a treat, before a huge problem arose.
The sound of a gun shot was heard. Everyone shrieked and freaked out as they started running for their life.
Izzy was very scared, she held Hario hands so tight as she keep crying out in fear, "Hario? Hario I'm scared...!"
Hario hold Izzy hands, he glance at her pitifully, "Izzy, hold on to me. Trust me, I'll get you out of here."
Isabelle grab his sleeves as Hario slowly penetrate through the crowd. Hario try to hold his grip but he failed. The rascal movement of the crowd keep getting on his way.
Another triggering sound of gunshot was heard again. So many marketers left their goods and ran away without thinking twice.
One of the huge men with an assault rifle, throw tear gas in middle of the crowd.
The more the crowd sniff, the more they cough and grow weak. Some of them collapse instantly, while some keep fighting their way out of the market.
The crowd intrusive movement keep pulling Hario and Isabelle away from each other. Isabelle and Hario keep battling to get a hold of each other's hand.
Isabelle shout in fear, when her hands started slipping off, "Hario, don't leave me!!"
"Izzy! Hold on to me tight!!! Don't let go!"
"I can't hold on much longer Harry please don't leave me..," Isabelle cried as hands keep slipping.
Without wasting time, their hands cut off. They scream each other's name while trying to fight their way off the crowd, "Hario....!"
"Izzy....!"
"Hario...!! Don't leave me please!!!" Tears keep rolling out of Isabelle eyes.
Hario couldn't hold back his tears, he hit anyone his hands touches as he screamed in pain, "Isabelle!!! Isabelle!!! Isabelle...!!!"
They keep screaming each other's names until they could no longer catch a glimpse of each other.
After a few hours, the whole chaos subside. A lot of people were injured and hurt, some were pronounced dead.
Isabelle walk down the street like a living dead being. Her legs has grown weak, her throat has gone dry from too much shouting. Her body felt stiff as she keep forcing them to move.
It was at this moment, Isabelle believes she was cursed. Her parents abandon her, her adopted mother holds a huge hatred against her, her friends left her and her only hope for survival, left her again.
Indeed, the world is really against her survival.
Isabelle look so dull and weak. Her facial expressions said it all. Her eyes were swollen after crying the whole day. Isabelle hold the necklace which Hario gave as an exchange of their friendship. It was the only thing she have left.
She haven't eaten anything and have been crying non-stop. Isabelle walk sluggishly and very exhausting, she was slowly fading away.
Her little eyes were getting wary to the extend that she didn't notice the incoming vehicle. The Vehicle didn't come too close before Izzy collapse on the floor instantly.
The driver slow down and stop. His heart ponder very fast as he jump out of the car, only to see the little girl lying lifeless in the middle of the road. He glance at the little girl, his eyes widen in shock, finally... finally...! He found her, he found his brother's daughter.
He took her home and clean her up then wait patiently for her to wake up. Ever since his brother was lock up in jail, he have been watching the Avelino family closely. He plays the role of being his brothers eyes and ears. He has always been aware of the baby that was switch by birth.
He had a goal, and that was to get his brother's daughter back to where she belong and finally, he did.
After seeing the bruises and appearance of his niece, he sworn to get back at Avelino family for what they did to his brother and his niece. He will do his best to bring his brother out of jail and make his enemies pay for it.
Finally, the moment he was waiting for, arose. Izzy is awake.
Little Izzy eyes wide open, she was dazzled by the bright lamplight close to the bed. Her vision tardily became clear and visible. Isabelle found herself in an unusual environment, her eyes scan the whole room.
Isabelle was stunned. She haven't seen anything as beautiful as this before. She once lived in the slum with her adopted parents, now where is she? Is this heaven? Did she made it to heaven?
All of a sudden, the door slammed open. A tall, huge man walk in with a tray of food on his hands.
Isabelle shrieked in fear, she drew backward and hold on to the bedstand.
The man draw closer toward her. His huge muscles drew fear out of Isabelle, she seize herself from drawing close until he drop the tray on the bed. His huge alluring voice was heard, "It's a good thing you're awake. I personally made breakfast for you, I'm sure you must be hungry."
Isabelle was frozed. She look at him with several questions popping through mind but only three words came out of her mouth, "Who are you?"
The young man smirked, he took a deep breath and answered, "I am your.. Uncle Ivan."
Isabelle was stunned. "My uncle?!"
"Yes, I'm your father's brother," Ivan replied excitedly when he saw how eager she was to know more.
"You know my father?" Isabelle heart ponder when she heard the word father. She whispered in her heart, "I have a father."
Without giving him a chance to answer, she throw him another question as she was so anxious to know, "Where is my father, I want to see him, I want to see my father! I want to know why he abandon me, why he gave me away!" Isabelle started crying bitterly.
"He is in jail! This is all because of your mother's lover.! He did this to you, he stole your mother away from you and he is the reason you face many life challenges while growing up." Ivan facial look change, he became clinch with anger and hatred.
Isabelle was startled, she was short of words.
Ivan continue, he was bent on bringing out the worst in Isabelle, "If I'm not mistaken it's Isabelle right?"
Isabelle nods her continually.
Ivan sighed, "There are several things you don't know, Isabelle. I know that you've gone through a lot and nothing I say can change that. Isabelle, we can make things right, we can make things right by destroying those people that cause you all this pain. Because of them, your dad is in jail. Because of them, you were deprive of a happy family," he added.
Isabelle was lost, she furrowed her brow, "I don't understand, isn't revenge bad?"
Ivan got feed up of her childish mindset, he became straightforward. His eyes turn red as he clinch his hands tight into balls, "Don't you want them to pay for their crime?! They destroy your life Isabelle! Do you want them to go free? Do you want to let them live a happy life while you suffer in pain?!"
Isabelle was startled. Tears rolled down to her cheek as Ivan keep remembering her of her bad memories.
Ivan saw that it was working. He grab her arms and push further, "Do you want your father to rot in jail for a crime he didn't commit?! You want to keep drowning in pain everyday of your life or will you fight back and make them feel times two of what you feel deep down?! Huh?!!"
Little Isabelle had hold on for too long, she spark out as she replied with full pressure, "No!!! I want to see them suffer! I want them to feel the pain that I feel now.! I will make them pay for everything they did to me and my family.!!"
Isabelle screamed as she cried contiually. She hitting her hands on the bed, "I'll make them pay!!! I'll make them pay!!! I will make them pay!!! They will pay for everything! That I promise!" At that point, Isabelle wipe away the tears from her eyes, her heart became stiffen like a strong solid rock.
Ivan became satisfy after hearing that. He held her hand and say in a calm tone, "You can't make them pay like this. There are certain things you must learn to be able to defeat them. Are you ready?"
"Yes, uncle. I'm ready." Isabelle voice became more bolder and less childish.
Ivan was happy. He spend most of his time in training her. He took her to school and watch her study. Izzy childhood was not like the life of a normal growing child.
She was taught how to fight combat and how to defend herself as a growing child.
Time passes by, Izzy increase in size and in age but her physique remain the same.
She was taught how to use a gun, to drive a car and a motorcycle. She was taught different things while growing up.
Isabelle took every hard training lightly. She only had one goal, and that is to ruin the person that ruin hers.
Finally, training section was over. It was time for examination. At that time, Izzy just turn 16 years. It was her first mission, if she pass her first mission then that means she's ready to take all in.
She was told to get a black bag from a man putting on suit in a popular market in Pampanga. Izzy took her time to study her first mission to ensure she won't make mistake, in order to impress her uncle.
With so much effort, the mission was a success. Ivan realize it was time to strike, it was time to get his brother out of jail! It was time to take on their mortal enemy.
Suddenly, Izzy wakes up from a deep sleep.
