CHAOS AND STORMS

( trigger warning: death, torture )

“where would kreed even go damn it” khail cursed under her breath as we're now roaming around the building.

we left the room right when ryker said pag-uusapan pa kung saan kami tutungo. i wanted to tag along with them but i just followed khail kasi alam kong hindi niya kayang hanapin nang mag-isa ang kapatid niya.

kreed’s still a friend to me kahit anong sabihin at gawin nito sa akin o sa amin but, when i found he did something dirty and meddled with someone who's already in a relationship disgusts me.

hindi siya ganito dati and he changed alot within the past few years na magkakasama kami, he never talk to us the same and now, i never looked at him the same anymore.

he feels like a whole new person kapag kaharap mo na at tila may pumapasok sa isip niya lagi na hindi niya ma-kontrol agad. his inner bad thoughts are really ruining him bit by bit at hindi na namin ito namamalayan not even him.

hindi ko rin inakalang magloloko siya with willow, not to mention the fact that kreed's actually decent when he's with willow kasi nga magkaiba sila ng ugali and he's being influenced by it.

“you look so torn, keep that smugged face away from me, zero” iritang sabi ni khail as i rolled my eyes at her.

bukod sa sanay ako sa attitude nito ay ganun din pakikisama ko sa kanya kaya madalas hinahayaan ko na siya sa gusto niya.

“saan ba nagpunta si kreed?” khail asked at mukha bang alam ko? kaya nga kami lumabas para hanapin siya.

hindi ko siya pinansin at nagpatuloy kami sa paglalakad hanggang sa nakarating kami sa tapat ng faculty.

i noticed the faculty’s door was open and tried locking it not until i saw someone lying on the floor in the dark area of the room.

i called khail in a whisper and pointed at the person na parang walang malay na nakahiga doon sa sahig ng faculty, hindi ako agad naka-ibo hanggang sa tinulak ako ni khail paloob at napatumba ako sa sahig.

“sakit! pwede ba?!” sigaw ko sa kanya nang nakaluhod na ako sa harap mismo nung taong nakahandusay dito.

“who the hell is that? tulog ba yan?” imik ni khail as i shushed her dahil hindi naman ito mukhang tulog lang.

hindi ko alam ang gagawin at tinapik tapik ko muna ito pero walang ibo hanggang sa dahan dahan ko na siyang iniharap sa amin.

my eyes widened and we backed away when i saw that it was one of our juniors. khail screamed, frightened at the sight of someone's unconscious body in front of us, by someone i meant sephry.

“s-si se-sephry to di-diba?” napasandal ako sa pader dito at takot na takot na tingnan muli ang itsura ni sephr.

her face was tortured, her clothes are ripped to pieces and it looks like someone cutted or slashed her with a knife or whatever sharp thing you can name.

her neck has a slit at tulong tulo pa rin ang dugo nito na mukhang sariwa pa pamula kanina. tumayo ako at hinigit si khail palabas while we ran away from the sight of sephry's dead body.

we panicked and panicked not knowing where to go at hindi ko na namalayan kung nasaan kami dahil hindi mawala sa isip ko ang itsura ni sephry who was tortured to death.

“zero saan tayo pupunta?” hingal na tanong ng kasama ko nung huminto kami.

i fished out my phone but it already died so i asked khail's but hers died too. sana pala hindi na kami humiwalay and let kreed go alone edi sana hindi namin nadatnan yung nakita namin sa faculty.

“we have to go find the others” i said at lumakad na ulit papalayo, basta malayo sa kung nasaan patay na katawan ni sephry.

god! we just sighted a real terror inside the faculty room and now, we don't know where to head because we're kinda running away from the scene.

“zero kanina pa tayo nag-uuli, pagod na pagod na ako” i complained and stomped my feet on the floor.

he raised his eyebrows at me and continued walking. i don’t even like him but our parents planned a fixed marriage without our decisions.

i couldn’t get in the way of stopping them planning it but if i did, i think i’m too late to do so because they already planned it with kreed agreeing.

ewan ko ba kung ano pumasok sa utak nitong kapatid ko at pumayag siya like, i cannot marry someone na walang connection sa akin and i don't even have those feelings for him at all.

but god, kreed always gets in my way na parang wala akong karapatan na magreklamo sa kung anong gusto ko. he acts so superior whenever our parents are having a discussion about it, while me? para akong tangang walang magawa at hinayaan sila.

i’m actually quite thankful a little because of zero's patient ass with me and he agreed on turning down their plans because it was my idea plus, he likes someone else and he already explained that he also can't love someone who doesn't want to love him back.

our plan was going so well not until kreed entered and began showing his main character persona. nakakairita siya tuwing eepal siya sa mga gusto ko just because may kapalit ito galing sa magulang namin na hindi ko naman alam.

kreed was actually nice before but everything has changed when he got turned down by a girl he likes from our juniors. lahat ng kabaitan sa kanya ay naglaho, he wasn't a badboy, playboy or bully before sa campus but when that day happened he turned into someone else i couldn’t recognize any longer.

nawala yung masayahin and mabait na kapatid ko sa kanya, his attitude and personality also changed within those months of letting his heart heal from that rejection. he turned into someone who hurts and play with people's heart for fun or for his satisfaction.

come to think of it, i found out he's meddling with thorn and willow’s relationship that went down hill because of him. after his issue with paris, si willow naman and that girl is dumb, wala man lang siyang pakiramdam na pinaglalaruan lang din siya at hindi na siya nahiya na matagal na sila ng boyfriend niya pero nagawa pa niya sumama sa ibang lalaki.

i’m honestly embarassed for the both of them kahit hindi ako yung nasa sitwasyon nila. i hope thorn turns into a monster and get his revenge but if not edi mabuti nang magsama si willow at kreed.

kreed’s only obsessed with girls but isn’t even in love with them and willow happens to be her new target. natatawa lang ako nang maalala how sephry rejected her, maybe he realized it by now na walang tumatagal sa ugali niya.

i laughed at myself as zero gave me a confused look but i ignored him, and then i stopped from laughing nung may naisip ako bigla.

“what?” zero asked at napatulala ako bigla sa naisip ko. “do you know what happened after sephry rejected kreed?” he also stopped from walking and thought about it.

“pinahiya siya ni sephry diba?” i nodded as he was still confused of my thought. “sa tingin mo ba kreed’s the one who ano...”
