Xiara's POV
Bakit parang kinakabahan ako? I feel like I want to vomit.
Naglalakad kami papuntang entrance ng palace. Nasa harapan si Black, tahimik naming siyan sinusundan. Everybody is so serious, oh wait.. except Sean. He looks cooled down. But I know that he's boiling inside. I know how they feel. I know how hard it is to lose someone...
The door opened automatically. Pagbukas ng pinto, bumungad sa amin ang napakadaming tao. Not just regular people but dangerous gangsters. Ang top 10 gang ay nandito. Nakatingin silang lahat sa amin.
Napatigil ako sa paglalakad nung tumigil si Black. Tumingin ako sa kanya. She looks like she's into something. I trinace ko yung tinitignan niya. Nagland sa bagong grupo ng gangster.
Wait. It's not a new group. They all have dragon marks..
"Nightmares.." Black said in a monotone. I clenched my fist.
"Let's start the Game." Black demanded.
Naglakad ako sa stage-like place. Sigh. Good thing I'm in my disguise. This would have been so embarrassing. When I wore make-ups, I turn into someone else. I'm not always myself.
"Today.. will be the start of the Game. All gangs and gangsters can fight for their rank, power and territory. Everybody is included. This is a fight for the top. We have no rules so you can do anything to get the medallion of each leader. So....... Try to beat us."
Pagkasabi ko nun bumaba na ako sa stage. I hate speeches. I'm not an entertainer. Naglakad ako papuntang table naming but someone bump into me.
Ouch! Napaupo ako.
"Damn." I cursed. Pero hindi ko ipinakita na nasaktan ako.
"Oops. Sorry beautiful" inilahad niya ang kamay niya. Tumingala ako, it's a guy. He has a mask. O_O unordinary mask... he's familiar. That symbol.. I saw that before.
*gasp*
I can't move. I f-feel so weak. This can't be happening.
"Back off man."
"Ow sorry dude." Umalis na yung lalake.
"You alright?" hinawakan niya yung kamay ko at itinayo ako.
"S-Sean... ?" siya pala yun?
Pumunta na kami sa table.
"Thanks.." mahina kong sabi.
"Huh? What was that?" sigh good thing he didn't heard.
Umupo ako sa tabi ni Black. Tinignan niya yung nakabangga sa akin. Napakunot ang noo niya.
"Their leader is not here." Malamig na saad ni Black.
"So what's the plan?" JP.
"The Game started.. but it's no concern of ours. Just lure them to us and kill if you must." Saas ni Black.
"Yung nightmares. Kasali ba sila?" Sean.
"Everybody is included." Black.
"You joined the gang because you want to be stronger. You should be prepared no matter what. This is war. You should always be ready to die." Pagkasabi niya yon umalis na siya. Napayuko ako. I can't be like this. I'm so weak. Tumayo ako.
"Hey you're leaving too?"
"Obviously." Sarcastic kong sabi kay Sean. Tss.
"Hatid na kita." Oo nga noh. I don't have my car.
At ngayon lang mabait ito... kaya... lubos-lubosin nah!
"Geh."
Merc's note: yung car sa gilid ay kay Black...
umm... guyz. hindi ako masyado makaka-ud ha. naging roller coater kasi yung grade ko eh. babawi na lang ako pag tinamad ulit mag-aral. hehe.
