COPULA TRILOGY: Her Vengeance

Frame #2: Entering The Lost School

[Chapter Two: Entering The Lost School]

Toes curled as I try to assess my body to see if I can move without feeling like being torn apart. I inspected my feet up to my knees and thighs while sitting down on the edge of the bed to look for any signs of cuts, but all I could see were small to slightly big stitches on some part of my body.

Tumayo ako at lumapit sa isang drawer sa loob ng kwarto na pansamantalang pinagamit sa akin ngayong gabi. The room belongs to the woman who was with the two other men earlier this morning.

I took the white tank top and pants inside and slung them over my shoulder as I headed towards the bathroom.

There is no electricity; that's why I'm only depending on the single flashlight given to me. The darkness filled the room as I entered the bathroom to clean myself up.

Before I could even drop my towel, I gazed at myself in front of the foggy mirror. I firmly bit my lower lip and looked for any cabinet inside. Nang may mahanap ako ay binuksan ko 'yon at agad na nakakita ng gunting. I took it out and placed the towel on top of the closed toilet bowl.

Nang harapin ko ang sarili ko sa salamin, I didn't hesitate to grab my hair and cut it short. It was originally waist-length hair just a few seconds ago, but looking at it right now, it's not even shoulder-length long. I let the hair that I just cut scatter all over the floor and tried to cut the rest vertically to form a layer, just like what I sometimes see hairstylists do. Hindi ko alam kung anong klaseng resulta ang gusto kong makita, pero nagtuloy-tuloy lang ako sa paggupit.

Seconds later, I stopped. I emptily stared at myself and shifted my attention to my hair. Binaba ko ang gunting sa lababo at hinawakan ang buhok ko.

The side of my lips lifted to form a small smirk.

So, this is the long pixie cut that I was thinking about for some time before.

Pinagpagan ko ang sarili ko bago umalis sa harapan ng salamin.

I carefully undressed myself and took a scoop of water with the mug inside the bucket full of water. Marahas akong huminga nang maramdaman ko ang lamig ng tubig. I quickly cleaned myself and fumbled for the towel in the dark afterwards to find it.

I dried my body with the towel and stepped out of the bathroom with the wet towel over my shoulder and clothes in my hand as well.

I blew a loud breath when I noticed that I forgot the flashlight inside. I was about to walk back to the bathroom when suddenly, the door suddenly sprang open. Sinalubong ko ng tingin ang taong nagbukas ng pinto habang nakatapat ang nakabukas na flashlight nito sa akin. My reaction didn't change as I looked at the person behind the light.

Slowly, I looked at my own naked body before returning my gaze to the person in front of the door, giving them a signal that they're accidentally having a free show.

The lights went off. Agad kong tiningnan ulit ang flashlight sa loob ng banyo at walang imik na kinuha 'yon at lumabas muli.

I quietly put some clothes on before taking the flashlight and pointing the light back to the person who opened the door. Nandoon pa rin siya at walang kibo na nakatayo.

"What? " tipid kong tanong na para bang wala siyang nakita kani-kanina lang.

"The headmistress told me to look after you for tonight." It was a man.

Tahimik itong naglakad sa dilim papasok ng kwarto at umupo sa narinig kong tunog ng upuan. His flashlight remained off, and he himself continued to be quiet.

I rolled my eyes and exhaled.

Did that headmistress just belittle me?

Nang matapos kong patuyuin nang kaunti ang buhok ko ay sinampay ko ang towel sa may nakabukas na bintana. I made my way towards the bed where the man is sitting near it. Patihaya akong humiga bago tinapat ang mukha ko sa taong nakaupo sa upuan.
