Breath of Death

Chapter 5

Tahimik ang lahat habang tulong-tulong silang nag seset-up ng tent na tutulugan nila. Nagsiga na din sila. They make sure that the fire is big enough to scare wild beast.

Win on the other hand remain where he died. As much as they want to put his body on his own sleeping bed, hindi nila magawa. The police advice them not to touch him at all para hindi masira kung anuman ang ebidensya na naiwan sa pagkamatay nito. They call them immediately pero masama daw ang panahon sa syudad at hindi pwede makabiyahe patungo ng isla.

Bright keep on crying. Hindi nila ito mapatigil. He love Win more than anyone know, at alam iyon ng grupo. Kahit parang aso at pusa sila, they love each other deeply. They know how shattered Bright heart as of this moment at wala silang magagawa doon. They just let him cried sa isang tabi.

They all believe that Win encounter a wild animal that scared him a lot, causing him to fall in sa shallow cliff kung saan nakalatag ang patibong. But Mixx and Gulf think different from the others. Ramdam nila ang dalawang pares ng mata na kanina pa nakamasid sa kanila.

"Hey, ayos lang kayo?" Earth approach the two who is sitting in front of the tent that was first fixed. Inabutan nya ito ng tag isang tasa na may lamang hot chocolate. The night wind in the forest is different. Nanunuot iyon sa kanilang kalamnan at tumatagos sa buto.

"Can't we go back to the resort?" Naiiyak na sabi ni Mixx.

"Madilim na baby, mas mahirap maglakad pauwi ng madilim. We have to stay here the whole night."  Malumanay na wika ni Earth sa kasintahan.

"I'm scared. Someone is watching us. Sa tingin ko, may iilan sa atin na hindi masisikatan ng araw bukas, or much worst, lahat tayo." Walang buhay na wika ni Gulf. Nakatingin lang sa sa madilin na bahagi ng kakahuyan, yun hindi kayang abutin ng liwanag ng siga na ginawa nila.

"Don't over think Gulf. We planned na magsasalitan kami sa pag babantay ng siga. We also put bells around our place to alert us kung may mangahas man na lumapit sa pwesto natin." Ani Earth.

"Let's just hope that it will work." Sagot ni Gulf sabay tingin sa marka na nakalagay sa kanyang braso.

XII. A roman numeral for 12. He also saw the mark on Win's neck a while ago. A roman numeral of 1.
Mew has X on his arm also while Mixx has III and Earth is V, both on their unnotice part of arm. Kung sinuman ang pangalawa, hindi nya alam, all he know, Mixx will also before 10 tonight.

Iniwan sila ni Earth dahil maghahanda daw ito ng pagkain. Bright decide to look for some branches and also to calm down his self. Hindi nila ito napigilan, kaya hinayaan nalang nila.

Hindi naman nagtagal, ay bumalik si Bright pero agad nilang napansin ang kakaiba nitong paglalakad. He is holding some branches pero parang ang bigat ng hakbang nito.

Agad nila itong nilapitan, at ng mahawakan ito ni Krist ay bigla nalang itong bumuway and reveal the ax in his head.

"Run." Yun ang huling binitawan na salita ni Bright bago ito tuluyang nalagutan ng hininga.

"Shit!"

"Putang ina!"

Halos naging sabay-sabay nilang banggit. Gulf immediately hide Mixx behind him. He will be the next. He then check Bright nape and he saw the mark II on it. He start searching the body parts na nakalitaw sa mga kasama.

Singto has IV on his neck also, Up is VI kao is VII tay has VII Krist is IX Gun is XI.

"Get his blanket." Utos ni Krist. Si Singto na ang kumilos. Kinuha nya ang kumot ni Bright at tinalukbong nila iyon kay Bright. They secure blanket by putting stone on it.

They all say a prayer for him tsaka sika bumalik sa pwesto ng siga. They all gathered there, pair by pair. Silent engulf them.

Malakas na umihip ang hangin, it almost put the fire in front of them down. Kasunod niyon ay ang paglipad ng mga paniki sa kalayuan at ang pag alolong ng aso mula sa kung saan.

"This is it! Ayaw ko na! Uwi na tayo." Suddenly Mixx stand up and walk awat from us.

"Mixx no!" Malakas na sigaw ni Gulf at ang kasunod niyon ay ang malaks na sigaw ni Mixx.

He caught in the trap. A trap na hindi nila napansin buhat kanina. Nabitin sya patiwarik pataas sa puno at he was pierce by a thick wood from his bottom up to his head causing his death.

"No!" Sigaw ni Earth. He was about to run toward his boyfriend but suddenly stop.

Isang nilalang ang lumabas mula sa dilim.
