Chapter 5
Pumunta na kami sa woods. We looked for The Killers’ territory. Then we heard Ken’s voice.‘’ This is for her! No one has the right to hurt the queen! Whoever does will pay! ‘’ galit nag galit na sabi ni Ken. Hinanap namin kung saan nanggagaling yung boses ni Ken. Nakita namin siyang sinusuntok si Lawrence.
‘’ Ken! ‘’ I shouted. Napalingon siya saakin. Tumigil na siya sa pagsuntok kay Lawrence. Nakita kong duguan na halos si Lawrence.
‘’ Why are you doing this? ‘’ I asked.
‘’ I’m doing it because I have to. I’m doing it because I… ‘’ hindi na niya naituloy yung sasabihin niya kasi hinila niya ako at niyakap at umikot siya. I saw people wearing black masks. May hawak silang mga pana at tumakbo. Natamaan nila si Ken na ako dapat.
‘’ Habulin niyo sila! ‘’ sigaw ko. ‘’ Ken.. ‘’ hiniga ko muna siya. He was smiling at me. No , he’s smiling at me. Like my mom did. I don’t want to lose him.
‘’ Are.. yo.. you.. ‘’ he coughed. ‘’ – hurt? ‘’ he tried to ask.
‘’ You are here. Of course , I’m safe. ‘’ sagot ko.
‘’ I’m sorry if I wasn’t there when Lawrence… ‘’
‘’ Ssshh.. You don’t need to be sorry. ‘’ this guy is so important to me. ‘’ Just promise me , you won’t close your eyes. ‘’ I said.After a minute. Mike and the others came.
‘’ Carry Ken , let’s go to the territory. He’s wounded. ‘’ I ordered. Binuhat nila si Ken papunta sa territory.Hindi namin dinala sa clinic si Ken. Mahirap na. Baka pasukin siya dun ng grupo nila Lawrence. Si Gwen Hilson na lang yung kapatid ni Stephen. Marunong naman siya. Their mother is a doctor. When still alive.
‘’ Gwen! ‘’ sigaw ko.
‘’ Bakit Xyfer? ‘’ tanong niya. Kasama niya si Vanessa Hyala. Ang baliw na baliw kay Ken.
‘’ Ken is wounded. Siguro malalim yung sugat. Kaya mo kayang gamutin iyon? ‘’ I asked.
‘’ Oh. I’ll try. ‘’ matipid niyang sagot.
‘’ Tutulong na rin ako. ‘’ sabi ni Vanessa.Pinuntahan ko ang ibang gangs. Kasama ko sila Mike.
‘’ Xyfer , mukhang nanganganib ang buhay mo. ‘’ sabi ni Mike.
‘’ Mukha nga. Kailangan kong kausapin ang ibang gangs. Kapag nasa panganib ako , nasa panganib rin kayo. ‘’ paliwanag ko.Tumayo ako sa harap ng mga gangs.
‘’ Natamaan si Ken ng pana kanina nung pinuntahan namin siya. Hindi ko namang masasabing grupo ito nila Lawrence o Felix dahil nakatakip ang mga mata nila ng black masks. They’re powerful , mas mabilis at mas matalino sila kaysa saatin. I want all of you to keep your eyes and ears open. ‘’ I said.
‘’ Hmm. Black Masks. ‘’ bulong ni Russel.
Pinuntahan ko si Ken.‘’Kamusta kana? ‘’ tanong ko sakanya. Habang may binabalot si Gwen sa sugat niya.
‘’Okay na ako ‘’ sagot niya. Namumutla siya pero unti – unti naman na siyang lumalakas.
‘’ Xyfer , inumin mo daw tong pill. Babalik daw ang lakas mo sabi ni Dr. Owen ‘’ at iniabot ni Gwen ang isang red pill.Si Dr. Owen nga pala ang nag – iisang scientist na pinagkakatiwalaan namin. Dahil kaibigan siya ni papa at tatay siya ni Allison. Mayroon ding ibang scientists pero hawak nila ang ibang gangsters. Kaya may iba’t ibang kapangyarihan ang mga gangsters dito. Yung iba since birth may kapangyarihan na depende sa mga magulang nila.
‘’Sige Gwen , Vanessa maiwan niyo na kami. ‘’ utos ko. Umalis naman sila.‘’Thanks for saving me. ‘’ I said.
‘’ It’s nothing. ‘’ he answered.
‘’ Why did you saved me? ‘’ I asked.
‘’ ‘Cause you’re important to me. See this? ‘’ tinuro niya yung sugat niya. ‘’ Kaya kong tanggapin lahat ng sakit , masigurado ko lang na ligtas ka. Masigurado ko lang na hindi ka masasaktan. ‘’ sagot niya.‘’ You don’t need to save me. You don’t need to take all the pain just to make sure that I’m safe. ‘Cause whatever happens to me. I am ready for it. I’m always ready for it. ‘’ I said. I smiled at him. He closed his eyes and went to sleep.
I went to the woods. Just to search for some information. Oo , matigas ang ulo ko. Pero hindi ko hahayaan na abusuhin nila ang kakayahan namin.
‘’ Xyfer? ‘’ napalingon ako. Si Zeeran.
‘’ Oh , Zeeran. It’s almost 6:00 , Why are you here? ‘’ I said.
‘’ Ako dapat ang nagtatanong sa’yo niyan eh. Why are you here? ‘’ he asked.
‘’ Masama maglibot? Teritoryo mo to? ‘’ tanong ko.
‘’ Kapag sinabi kong oo? Aalis ka ba? ‘’ bulong niya.
‘’ Hindi pa rin. ‘’ sagot ko.
