"Maligno"

Madam Ceres, a tarot reader, advises Laurie about the consequences of her beauty.

One day, Laurie and her friend, Nicky take a vacation on a secluded island with their helpers, Mang Isko and Aling Sela. On the day they are supposed to leave, their boat never comes and there is no other way to contact them. In an argument, Laurie leaves Nicky and goes into the woods. Before she ventures further, she is spotted by Mang Isko who stops her from going in even more. Laurie talks to Aling Sela at her house. Laurie tells her about the woods but Aling Sela talks to her that she shouldn't go back as well.

That night, Laurie goes back into the woods, and encounters a man playing an instrument. He gestures for her to come with him. Before she comes closer, she is spotted by Nicky. Nicky tells her that they should go back and sleep, while the man suddenly disappears. The next day, Laurie wakes up to find that Nicky has grown ill. He is treated by Aling Basyon, the island's healer. When Laurie tells Mang Isko and Aling Sela what happened, Aling Basyon advises her not to go back, never go with the man and never eat his food, because he is not actually a human.

In an act of desperation, Laurie decides to ask for the man's help. She finds him at the same tree he was at during the previous night. He tells her to follow him to a healer. While traveling through the woods, Laurie asks for the man's name, correctly guessing that the name is Victor. When they arrive at a house in the woods, they go inside. Victor tells her about his home and that they should rest before talking about Nicky. Laurie, suspicious, turns down his offer to live in the house. Victor insists that they should stay and eat, giving Laurie a grape. Laurie refuses and escapes, much to Victor's dismay. He then turns into his real form.

When Laurie arrives back home, Aling Basyon tells her that it's Victor who caused Nicky's illness because he wants to take Laurie away. He appears in appealing form to Laurie, in order to take her away. Aling warns that everything Laurie sees is fake. However, Victor is an immortal being who outlives those he has been with, as seen when Aling Basyon guides Laurie into a cave filled with the bones of Victor's victims. He warns Laurie to be cautious of him. At night, Aling Basyon tries to help Nicky again, only to find that critters are living inside him and that his condition is getting worse.

During this, all of them hear Victor's whispers. In response, Laurie decides to stop him once and for all. When Laurie decides to call Victor's name, she is suddenly transported into his house. Victor tells her that Nicky will only go back to normal if Laurie decides to live with him forever. Laurie refuses and to hurt her any longer.

When Laurie goes back to the house, she is greeted with a cured Nicky and they celebrate after stopping the curse.
