Chapter 9 - White Roses and Perfume

Chapter 9 - White Roses and Perfume

If only you could see our faces, you'll literally think we are dead people because of our pale skin and a wide open mouth.

"Oh my gosh.." nasambit ni Aphrodite.

I turned my gaze to Sky, which is affected also to the bad news. Pero I can see a hint na sobrang malalim ang iniisip niya. What's that?

Tumingin rin ako sa dalawa at halatang kakagising lang nila. Their calm but I can see in their eyes that they are also affected to what had happened.

Nacurious ako at naisipang tignan kung sino man ang namatay.

"Nasaan yung bangkay?" I immediately asked.

"Myth! Wag na tayong pumunta. I'm scared!" pakiusap naman ni Aphrodite. I just rolled my eyes at her. I don't have a time for her childish acts.

"So what now Flynn? Where?" udyok ko parin sa kaniya.

"Mas okay kung hindi niyo nalang makikita." by the sound of his tone, it looks like the view there is not that really good.

"Kung ayaw mong sabihin, then fine! I will search on my own." I said then begun walking. Tch. Bakit ba ayaw niyang ipakita? It's as if matatakot ako sa itsura.

"Ang tigas talaga ng ulo mo." Leviethan said. May lahi ata talagang assasin to e. In just a snap, he's already there walking beside me.

Di ko nalang siya pinansin. Nagpatuloy nalang ako sa paglalakad. Nang makarating na kami, ang daming estudyante ang nakikiusyoso.

"Grabe, sobra namang sama nung pumatay."

"Naamoy mo ba yung pabango?" what? Pabango? Pati pagpatay pinapabanguhan pa?

"San kaya galing yung white roses?" napantig ang tainga ko. White roses? This is something. The Perfume and The White Roses. I really need to see that dead person.

Dahil nasa dulo ako, iniwan ko si Leviethan at nakisiksik sa mga chismoso't chismosa. Nang makarating na ako at tanaw na tanaw ko na ang bangkay, hindi ko naiwasang hindi mapasigaw ng bahagya.

Mukhang kinain ko ang salita ko kanina na hindi ako matatakot sa itsura ng bangkay. I didn't know him but I pity him for what happened to his death. When I saw him, I almost puked.

He is stabbed straight to his heart. And the knife is not ordinary. It's like a katana. I'm not finished yet. He is also stabbed in his mouth, and in his 2 legs. And his eyes... It's wide awake. It's as if he is being sorry.. I don't know. I just see regrets on his eyes.

But what really caught my attention is the white roses. The three white roses tied up in a black ribbon and in his hands. And the perfume.. Mint with a mixture of blood. Naalala ko ang nakita ko kagabi. White Roses coming from the woods in the Dark Mansion.. And his..his perfume that night. And this. Is this coincidence? What if He is the one behind this? What if Sky killed this poor boy?

Alam kong masamang mamintang pero I really have an urge that Sky know something about this. He may not be the killer, but I assure to the pits of hell that he knows who is behind this killing and maybe, just maybe he also knew who is the real killer.

"I already warned you." sambit ng nasa likod ko. I brushed off his question. Ngayon ko lang napansin na biglang nawala si Sky.

"Where's Sky?" nang marinig niya iyon, tingin ko alam niya na kung bakit ko hinahanap si Sky. He become silent for a moment and then he grab my hands.

"Let's just get out of here." nang makaalis narin kami sa mataong lugar na iyon, naglakad kami ng bahagya. Pero bigla akong tumigil saglit at umupo sa isang bench.
