Forest Trap II

PRAIREI

I woke up by the sunlight. I sat down when my head started to ache in pain. I haven't recovered yet ever since we both fell from high cliff and wounds are still open on my skin. The sunlight has directly hit my face that made me close my eyes from the intense light. When I noticed I'm alone here, I stood up to search for Hidre Midorai Themin.

Where did he go again? And why seem I care about him? But wait, did he sleep? Well, not my concern anymore. Maybe he also slept last night. I roamed my eyes in whole forest, trying to find even his shadow but suddenly, my eyes landed at dark cave. I stepped backwards when I heard few steps coming from the cave which led me to an idea that there's probably someone walking inside. Iyon kaya ang nakita ko kagabi na may pulang mata?

I'm still wondering who might be that creature I've seen last night. That creature gave me a wide grin. I'm still hoping and wishing that there's no Sapien staring at us last night because they consider us as their enemy. Hindi yata makakaya ng sikmura kong makita ang mga pagmumukha nila.

I took the large stone, readying myself. I actually don't like the steps inside the dark cave. And don't trust this forest! I don't know if I've seen a ghost last night or what, it terrifies me. But good thing, Hidre flicked my forehead by his fingers. He's trying to ease my nervous and fear last night.

"Who's that?" I asked, expecting someone to hear me.

Suddenly, I saw two pair of gray eyes. Gray-silvery like. Its eyes are intense in the dark. That color of eyes were quite familiar.

"Morning?" He actually greeted me like that?! Mahilig bang manakot ang isang 'to? Kagabi pa siya sa totoo lang. Una, iniwan niya ako sa may buhanginan. Pangalawa, muntikan ulit ako mapahamak ng dahil sa kaniya. Pangatlo, mas nakakatakot pa siya sa nilalang na nakita ko kagabi. He's really a weird guy.

"Ayos ka lang? Sure ka?" I sarcastically asked while holding the stone tightly. His eyes landed down on my hand as he saw me holding a hard-type thing which is the stone. He slid his hands inside his pocket as he stepped out from the cave. Ano ba ang ginagawa niya sa loob ng kuwebang iyan? Wala pa siyang dalang ilaw. Nakakita kaya siya sa loob ng kuweba? Malamang hindi. Depende na lang kung ginamit niya 'yong apoy niya sa kaliwa.

"Are you planning to kill me by that stone?" he asked in almost irritated tone of voice. Maybe he got surprised to the stone on my hand. Sino ba kasi ang hindi matatakot? Ikaw ba naman makarinig ng mga yabag sa loob ng kuweba. Take note, his footsteps are echoing. Of course, I'll feel nervous again. Ang hilig niya kasi mang-iwan.

Bakit kasi kailangan niyang mang-iwan? Kami na nga lang natira rito sa gubat ganiyan pa siya. Sino ang hindi matatakot? Akala niya ba sanay akong mag-isa sa nakakatakot na gubat? Siyempre, hindi. Kahit kailan hindi ko ginusto ang pumunta sa gubat. Lalo na kung Dark sea at Dark Forest ang pag-uusapan.

"H-hindi. Na-nagulat lang ako actually." Tuwing kausap ko siya hindi ko mapigilan ang hindi mautal. Maybe we are not that close? Like his relationship with Wayn? Wayn is his loyal friend.

"I tried to communicate with him. But he didn't answer. Mintaro did," he said and sigh. Mintaro? Paanong kaya ni Mintaro mag-handle ng six sense? Sa pagkakaalala ko, si Wayn lang ang puwedeng makagawa niyon. At isa pa, ayos na kaya si Mintaro ngayon?

"Probably, Wayn can't enter the line of sixth sense. What did you see? I mean did he say anything?" I asked. Mahirap naman talaga kasi pasukin ang linya ng six sense. Iilan pa lang ang nakakagawa ng bagay na iyon.

"Wayn is restoring his energy. When I connected my brain to Mintaro, he didn't answer. But I think they are inside the hospital. I only found out when he opened his eyes," he retorted. "Holding sixth sense requires an amount of energy, for he couldn't handle and in order to save his energy left within him, I cut our connection. Sixth sense might activate the contract of trade, he can get damage from it anytime."
