Chapter 12
• Sly Fox •
"Don't let the fox catch you."
...

"Ready na kayo?" Tanong ni Jaime and humawak na sa door knob.

"Yes." Sabay na sabi namin ni Diana and Knight? He just hummed.

Nag nod lang si Jaime and binuksan na yung door.

"Players, please stand at the circle." Biglang sabi ng Robot.

As what the robot said, pumunta kami sa circle and tumayo lang doon. Then biglang bumukas yung light sa kabilang end ng room and may naka talikod doon.. and it's swaying its tail.

"Welcome new players! Glad you make it to the fifth game! The fifth game is Sly Fox! We all know the rules in Sly Fox, yes? Just don't let the fox catch you! To play the game, you need to go towards him but when he looks at you, you need to freeze! When a player touches his back, everyone wins! If he caught you, you need to go to the starting line! Huha!" Sigaw nung clown.

I hate this game...

"The fox will count one to ten before turning around and you all need to freeze. He'll count one to ten again and turn around and you can move! Huha! And the game starts at three.. two... one.. go!" Sigaw nung clown kaya gumalaw na kami.

"Ten.. nine.. eight... seven.. six.." He started counting. His tail is moving.. he's like a pendulum clock. "..five.. four.. three.. two... one." Then he looked at us.

*Freeze*

Damn! This is the hardest position! I'm standing on one foot! And it's the right foot!

"Ten.. nine.. eight... seven.. six... five..." The Fox started counting. It's so tagal! "...four... three... two... one." Then tumalikod ulit siya and we started  running again.

I really hate this game because i always get caught. Palagi nalang ako yung nahuhuli kaya palagi akong nasa starting line ulit pero this game is different. Hindi namin alam kung ano yung mangyayari pag na huli kami nung fox... The clown said na babalik kami sa starting line pero this is life and death game, yes? Gaah.. I'm so kaba.

"Ten.. nine.. eight.." We all froze. Gosh kinabahan ako.. "..seven.. six.. five.. four.." While he's counting, he's moving his eyes and looking at us one by one. Syempre para makita kung gumagalaw kami but he's scary.. "..three.. two.. one.." Then he turned around again.

Lub dub, lub dub, lub dub..

'Run.. just keep running or walking.. don't stop' Said my mind. I won't stop.. we need to win and no one is gonna die.. this is an easy game... it's just easy. I just need to run and rest. There's no fox, there are no consequences, this is just a normal game.

Thanks to Knight's advice earlier. I'm not scared anymore...

"Ten.. nine.. eight.. seve...hmm." Napa tigil yung fox sa pag bibilang and bumaba sa stage niya.

What the heck is this? Why? Bakit siya lumalapit? And papunta siya kay.. Diana.. I won't move kahit gusto ko. If i move, mahuhuli ako..

*Shk!*

"Ahh!" Sigaw ni Diana.

What the hell happened to her? I can't see her! The next thing I heard is a thud sound and Diana's scream. What happened to her? I want to see her but if I move, I'll get caught.

Nakita ko ulit yung fox na bumalik sa stage niya and tumalikod and he started to count again.

I looked at Diana and saw her with a big scratch on her stomach and blood running out from it.
