The Fight For Life

Final Chapter

My dream... No.

Imposibleng mangyari iyon.

"Tulong!" I screamed for help. "Selena, gumising ka!"

"What happened?!" Agad na kinuha ni Kuya Phoenix si Selena at dinala sa sofa at pinahiga.

Tinignan ko ang dalawa kong kamay na mayroong dugo. Nanginginig parin ako sa takot. Hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling ang dugo. They are busy checking on Selena right now so I decided to go back to the door of the basement.

I slowly hold the door and push it open. My mouth went agape when I saw Ate Ella lying on the floor. Thick, dark blood is gushing from her head. There's a bullet hole on her forehead.

Napasinghap ako nang mapagtanto ang sitwasyon.

"Xandre!" I heard Dome.

Nilingon ko kung saan nanggaling ang kaniyang boses. He was running towards me, followed by El. Sobrang nag-aalala ang kanilang mga mata. Inikot-ikot ako ni Dome upang masigurong hindi sa akin nanggaling ang dugo. Narinig ko ang pagpakawala nya ng malalim na hininga bago nya ako niyakap. He doesn't even care that the blood in my hands is staining his clothes.

"Okay lang ako, Dome." I assured him.

"Fuck, si Ate Ella..."

Sabay kaming tumingin kay El na ngayon ay gulat na gulat nang makita si Ate Ella. Just by looking at it. We can definitely say that she's one of them.

Siguro ay nakagat siya kahapon. No one got the chance to find out about it since she was isolated from us.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Alalang tanong ni Dome kaya ibinalik ko ang tingin ko sa kanya.

Tumango ako. Nagsidatingan na sila at tinignan rin ng iba ang sitwasyon sa may pinto. Lahat sila ay gulat dahil sa nakita. Hindi rin makaimik si Ate Aide nang makita niya ang katawan ni Ate Ella.

Among all of us, Ate Ella is the one who is so desperate to live that she will even endanger us just for her to live. Sadly, this is what happened to her.

Kuya Phoenix and the others decided to bring Selena inside. Hindi pa rin siya gumigising kaya ako muna ang kinausap ni Kuya Phoenix. He asked me what happened or what did I saw.

"We were outside when Chase barked while facing the door. Nakaramdam ako na parang kakaiba kaya tumakbo ako papasok. The door swung open. Selena appeared, she was covered with blood. Natumba siya kaya sinalo ko siya. 'Yun lang. Papalabas na siya ng makarating ako."

I know Kuya Phoenix is still not clarified. Maging ako ay naguguluhan. And only Selena can answer all of our questions.

Hindi na kami nakapagpatuloy sa aming ginagawa. We were too shocked with what happened. Kuya Phoenix decided that we just stay inside until Selena wakes up.

Base on Harris' observation, her mother is fine. She just lost consciousness. Maybe she hit her head on something. But we can't say that she is now safe. She needs to wake up first bago namin masabing ligtas na siya. The blood came from her waist. Maybe she cut herself with her blade as she fought with Ate Ella. Wala rin siyang kagat sa katawan.

The door of the room where Ate Ella has been locked up is now broken. Sinira iyon ni Ate Ella pero siguro noong time na nasa labas na kami dahil hindi namin iyon narinig.

Lahat kami ay hindi pa rin makapaniwala na naging changer si Ate Ella at ganito pa ang naging kinahinatnan niya. Selena had to kill her.

Even after all that she had done. Naging parte pa rin siya ng kanilang buhay. Just like Kuya Hakeem and Adira, we are grieving for her death.
