CHAPTER 6 : "I Am You"
LILY
"Lily!" Kahit gustong-gusto kong tulungan si Michelle ay hindi ko magawa dahil sa sitwasyon ko ngayon. One guard is taking Michelle away while another one is pointing his gun at me, waiting for me to stepped out of the apartment.
This all feels like a game and this apartment is the safe zone.
"I'm fine Lily. Slowly step back and lock the door of Heather's apartment. Solve the riddles and rescue us." What Michelle said next left a strange feeling on my heart. "I trust you."
Trust me?
I don't know if that's a way to give confidence or a way to pressure someone but one thing I know is that I need to hurry to get into the gym or else Heather and Michelle are going to be a sacrifice.
I locked the doors, just like what Michelle told me to do when a letter suddenly fell from above. "Don't let the guards catch you, or else the game is over?" What the? Whoever is toying us surely is having fun seeing me struggling.
I seek to find a way out and saw a window on Heather's room. It has a hole on it. It seems to be pointing at some sort of direction.
I placed my eye on the hole and the first thing I see is the gym's window. I realized that this part of the school doesn't have much security than any other parts.
I could pass right at them if I just stay quiet.
The hole just showed me a shortcut. I used to hate holes because of what happened in the village but, nevermind.
Nagmadali akong lumabas mula sa bintana habang dala-dala ang mga sulat na nakita ko kanina. Hindi natin alam, baka magamit ko 'to.
I carefully sneak on the guards. Why is there so many of them and what happened to the school? I'm really going to interrogate Heather after this. I'm now heading towards the Science Park who's only meters away from the gym.
Bigla akong nakarinig ng mga yapak ng paa kung kaya't nag tago ako sa lugar na una kong makita. "Pag butihin nyo ang pagbabantay. Hindi pa lumalabas ang babae kaya pagtuunan nyo ng pansin ang bawat sulok ng lugar. Hindi pwedeng magtagumpay ang babaeng 'yun. Magagalit ang Nakakataas."
Sino ba ang tinutukoy nyang Nakakataas?
Ilang sandali pa ay naramdaman ko ang pag tahimik ng lugar, senyales na wala na ang mga gwardiya. Kahit na ganon, nanatili parin akong tahimik at maingat sa bawat galaw ko.
Muntikan na nga lang akong mapa-mura ng biglang malaglag ang ulo ng life size human skeleton model.
Nakalimutan ko na nasa Science Park pa pala ako. Tila ba'y humiwalay sa katawang lupa ko ang kaluluwa ko ng mga isang segundo.
I calmed myself and went to the back of the Science Park where lies its exit. When I successfully arrived at the gym, it somehow alleviate the uneasiness that I have been feeling.
