(District Series Two) The Deceiver [COMPLETED - NOT EDITED YET]

[6]

CHUZELLE

I gasped in shocked when the suitcases on my hand suddenly disappeared when a very strong wind almost blew me away. It was a very strong wind that I almost feel like there was a big truck who just came into my side.

Luminga linga ako para tignan kung nahagip ba ng malakas na hangin ang suitcase pero hindi ako ganoon kabobo. There was a scent of someone's perfume and a fast running shoes. Shit. Tumakbo ako at sinundan kung saan pumunta ang naaamoy kung perfume.

Shit. This might be the first time I felt like I lost something so big. The first time I didn't notice someone stealing something from me. And oh no you thief, you're not gonna steal my throne away. That's forbidden.

Awtomatikong lumiko ang aking dalawang paa nang masundan ko ang perfume na nag iba ng direksiyon. I fasten my pace and ran so fast to catch up to whoever this person is. I can't tell if this is a man or a woman. The scent smells like a man perfume but I don't have the guts to tell that it really is a man. I'm in between.

But then, as soon as I entered a dark alleyway, the noise of the running shoes became two. I meant two is not a pair of feet but a two person running. Nagmura ako ng malutong sa aking isipan nang mapagtanto na plinano ata nila ito. It could've been them who made that wind that is impossibly so strong at a time like this. Para akong hinablot bigla ng hangin na parang hindi kapani kapaniwalang ang lakas.

"Shit." Dagdag na mura ko nang pabalin balin sila ng pagtakbo. What the hell are they planning? It's quite a change that someone really stole someone from me. It's always been me all the time. I've been crowned as a great thief and I don't want anyone knowing that someone just stole someone's from me without me even noticing.

Hindi nila pwedeng patalsikin ako sa aking trono. It's me and will always be me. No one else.

As I said that in my mind, I shifted when the both also shifted. I don't know where they are because I cannot see them but the hell is this presence? I can feel them yet I cannot see them at all. It feels like they're one with the wind. One with the wind?

"One with the wind?" Pabulong kung sabi sa aking sarili at napaisip ako sa sariling sinaad. The way that wind almost threw myself away and just came out from nowhere is really suspicious. Akala ko kung may dadaan na malaking truck but there was actually no one. Nothing but the only strong wind. Ako ba ang ginagago nito?

"Fuck." I cussed inside my mind when I almost tripped at the ground. Power does not exist at the time like this. It never existed for pete's sake. But technology does. I know that this generation has been very high tech but I don't actually believe someone saying they have the power because of the high technology. Is that even possible?

Kumunot ang aking noo at napatigil ako nang maramdaman na huminto din sila. I can feel the presence from behind and at my side. I can hear the tapping of someone's shoes and whistling at the air. And I must conclude that they are looking at me now. Nandito ako sa ibaba kaya madali lang akong makita sa itaas.

And yes, I do feel them having the hot stare at me as if I've become their sudden prey. Hmm.

Pinakalma ko ang aking sarili at huminga ako nang malalim. I heaved out a deep sigh and stared at the direction where I can feel the presence but it was too dark. It's night time already and it is dark. I can't see whoever this is.

"Shall we kill her?" Tumaas ang aking kilay sa narinig. Good thing I was trained to have this skills. Ngumisi ako sa aking narinig atsaka ako lumingon sa direksiyon kung saan ko narinig ang boses ng isang babae. A man and a woman huh?

"Go on, kill me." Anas ko sa kanila atsaka mas lumapad ang aking ngiti. I heard the woman gasped and scoffed at the same time. "Looks like this woman is not as what we expected eh?" Talagang hindi ako ang babae na sa tingin niyo ay pipitsugin lang kung kakalabanin.
