Project Z: The Cure

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Primo's PoV

Pasuray-suray akong tumayo sa aking pagkakaupo. I mentally cursing inside of a big fvcking pipe I used to transport myself from the cruise ship to the underwater. Itinuro sa 'kin ni Kyla na ito ang pinakamadaling daan papunta sa base ng kanilang headmaster.

I wiped the sweat dripping down on my head. Dahil nasa ilalim kami ng tubig ay sobrang init na sa bahaging ito. I'm quite amaze on how they build this basement underwater, connected to the cruise ship on the top.

Medyo naglakad pa ako dahil wala naman akong nakikitang kakaiba. Sobrang tahimik ng paligid na aakalain mo ay walang mga tao. I immediately hide at the back of a big glasses that blocking me from the two people who's talking right now. I don't understand their language.

Nanatiling nakakunot ang noo ko habang nakikinig sa kanila. Napairap na lamang ako sa hangin dahil wala talaga akong naiintindihan sa sinasabi nila. I now regret not following my mom's advice to take a lesson in the Chinese language.

"Who are you?!"

Mabilis kong itinutok ang baril ko sa lalaking sumigaw sa 'kin.

Tsk! I thought I hid myself well...

"Me?", I smirked. "I'm--"

Nagulat ako ng mabilis nilang hinawakan ang aking mga braso. Ang isa ay inikot pa ito papunta sa aking likod at pinuwersa ako na lumuhod. Tumilapon ang aking baril na hawak. For now, I am totally unguarded. 

Fvck this! They caught me off guard. I shouldn't let this happened. Tsk!

"Oh.. If I'm not mistaken, you're from that group , right?", he smirked. His voice is irritating me. He's not fluent in English but I would say that it's enough for me to understand his words. Tinignan ko siya ng masama. He looked annoyed at the way I was looking at him. Mas lalo niyang hinigpitan ang hawak sa braso ko at idinapa ako.

Nag-usap silang dalawa sa lenggwaheng hindi ko maintindihan kaya nanatiling nakakunot ang noo ko. Medyo lumuwag ang pagkakahawak nila sa 'kin. Kita ko na 'yung isang lalaki na nasa kaliwa ko ay may kinuhang posas sa loob ng kanyang polo.

Before they tightened their grip, I immediately kicked the one on my left side, while on the other side, I punched the hell out of him. I picked up the laser gun that was dropped by the guy on my left side. Bago pa sila makapanlaban ay ginamit ko na sa kanila ang laser gun na nadampot ko.

I smirked, "Both of you are stupid.. Why didn't you use this thing on me from the start? It was your best chance to catch me, but you failed."

Hinayaan ko na nakahandusay ang dalawang lalaki doon. I'm whistling while walking on the pathway. It seems like I'm just in the movie, chilling, but I am still fvcking nervous, and I don't why. I saw a big figurine. It doesn't have a face, but there are traces of blood dripping down the figure.

I don't know what is this feeling, but.. I feel like.. What Lili's said again about  this feeling? Is it natatae? 

I felt chills go down my spine. Hindi ko alam kung bakit nararamdaman 'to gayong wala naman akong nakikitang ikatatakot ng kalooban ko. Its just that I felt something wrong. Its like something not good will happen or I am just a paranoid?

Inalis ko na lamang sa utak ko ang bumabagabag sa akin at sa halip ay lumapit sa figurine na may tumutulong dugo. Akala ko no'ng una ay hindi tunay na dugo iyon pero nang tuluyan akong makalapit ay naamoy ko ang lansa non. I'm sick of the smell, so I decided to step back.
