-chapter nineteen-
"Dance, Serena."
The ice spears started to rain down.
Mabilis kong ni-track gamit ang mata ang trajectory nito. I readied my feet and started to dodge the incoming spears. Totoo ngang sayaw na 'tong ginagawa ko, only without hand movements.
I took a step back to take one of the falling spears. Umikot ako at itinapon ito papunta kay Mary. Ngunit mabilis na napamelt ni Yohanne ang ice.
"Using them back is useless." aniya.
Naningkit ang mata ko. He's a master in ice, he can form, manipulate and shape them. Pero sa aming apat dito, siya lang ang talagang may weapon.
In the corner of my eye, nakita ko ang pagakma ni Yohanne na itapon sa'kin ang isang ice axe. I bended backwards, letting the axe fly above my body.
Tutuwid na sana ako ng tayo nang biglang may kakaibang pwersa na namuo sa ulo ko. I fell down on the ground. Napadaing ako sa sakit na nagmumula sa likod at ulo.
Just then, more ice spears started to form. I tried to move but couldn't, dahil sa pressure sa ulo ko na pumipigil sa'kin.
Ah, is this my kind of ending? They're a pair of monsters.
Ipinikit ko ang mata nang magsimulang mahulog ang mga spears. Ngunit isang minuto na ang nakalipas, wala pa rin akong nararamdamang sakit. Dahan-dahan kong iminulat ang mata-
Para lang makita si Mad Dog na nasa taas ko at pinoprotektahan ako sa mga spears. Blood started to drip from his back where the spears pierced. Nanlaki ang mata ko.
"Mikhael..."
Umayos siya ng tayo at pinunasan ang dugo na nasa labi. "Survival, 'di ba?"
Kahel stretched and pulled the spear from his back. Napangiwi ako dahil sa dami ng dugo na umaagos pero balewala lang ito sa kaniya. The pressure in my head decreased as Mary stepped back in fear and shock.
That's right. The true monster in this battle is none other Kahel.
When Kahel steps, the ground cracks. What the- anong klaseng lakas na ba ang mayroon siya? Is this what it means to be a black-collared student?
Mary also has a red collar while Yohanne has a yellow one. Mary who can pressure people's minds and Kahel who will only get stronger the more he's hurt, napakadelikado nga talaga nila.
Still, he can't exactly fight too long in this condition. O mawawalan siya ng dugo. His ability is very advantageous in this situations, at the same time it is very dangerous.
