II: Safety

**************************

Psyche Valentine Collins

I have no idea what happened but I passed out, after seeing Aurora in that awful situation? I saw Eros and Thorin. They were thoughtlessly trying to convinced the man to let go of Primo's little sister and he did, I thought everything was over but it wasn't. Someone said something he or she shouldn't have.

The man got mad at them, he took out another knife then he went towards their direction. He was gonna stabbed Aurora but Thorin used his body to protect her so instead of Primo's little Sister, Thorin was the one who got stabbed by the knife.

Iyan lang ang naalala ko mula sa nang yari, ang mga sumunod ay malabo at hindi ako sigurado kung iyon ang tama dahil nawalan pala ako ng malay dahil sa sobrang takot. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ang hilig nilang makipag-laro kay Kamatayan, and to be honest? I'm feeling mad towards Aurora.

Why? The answer is pretty much simple, she's dragging down every single one of them. Even us. It was her, I heard it myself. She was the one who yelled at the man then she told him that didn't kill his Daughter and the girl that the man was referring was already gone because of her heart illness.

That's mainly the reason why the man got mad and planned to stabbed her but she's lucky enough because Thorin was there then he used his body as a shield to saved her, isn't she aware that Eros was also there to help her?! Even Jared and West!! They could have gotten hurt because of her too!!

Kung hindi na siya nag-salita at hindi na niya sinabi ang mga salitang 'yon, wala na sanang aksidente na mang yayari at wala na rin sanang masasaktan pero dahil sa ginawa niya? Hindi lang buhay ni Thor ang nalagay sa panganib! Pati na rin ang iba pang mga tao na nandoon para sagipin siya!!

Oo, alam kong siya ang biktima pero sino ba namang hindi magagalit sa ginawa niya? I mean, that's just stupid! Why would you provoke someone like that man?! He's probably addicted to some kind of drugs, he was too high last night and he really thought that Aurora killed his Daughter even though she didn't.

Everything was peaceful, she and Thor looked delighted while they were singing together on the stage. After they sang, that man held her as an hostage then the following consequence was the reason why I'm feeling this way towards her. Ever since Aurora appeared in our lives, everyone kept on telling me how smart and talented she is but because of what happened?

It's making me wonder, paano nila nasabi na "matalino" ang bunsong kapatid ni Primo kung simpleng "reverse psychology" lang ay hindi niya pa kayang gawin?

Even Riane's little Brother can do that!

I'm mad at her dahil inilagay niya rin sa alanganin ang buhay ni Eros pati na rin ni West. Kahit pa malaman ni Primo ang tungkol sa nararamdaman ko ngayon at kahit magalit din siya sa'kin, wala siyang karapatang sisihin ako. Why? Because it's true and regardless of what angle we are looking? It's her fault.

Gising na ako pero hindi pa rin nawawala ang takot na nararamdaman ko, I can't explain why I'm still having this feeling kahit tapos na ang nang yari. Nasa ospital na raw si Thorin, si Eros at si Aurora ang mag-kasama ngayon.

"Psyche, kami na lang ang pupunta sa ospital. Huwag ka nang sumama sa'min, just rest up for now". Sambit ni Avi. Tumingin ako sa direksyon niya, halata naman sa ekspresyon niya na nag-aalala rin siya sa'kin.
