Howl Of Fame (TO BE PUBLISHED)

Chapter 17

"Do you love her?"

"You were the only one I loved. I won't let you go no matter how many times you push me away."

I gasp air when he digs his fangs even more that leave a long. Mariin kong binaon ang mga kuko ko sa kaniyang balikat. My body arc as its response. The anguish caused me to shout. The moon's vivid hue welcomed us and appeared to convey to me its joy at seeing us together.

Moon.

Napuno ang aking tainga ng mga kantyawan nang ihatid ako ng mga mga guwardiya sa isang entablado. Dahan-dahan kong minulat ang mata ko at nilibot ang tingin ko sa kabuohan ng lugar. Napakalaki ng lugar na ito. It was occupied with people, from all different kinds of levels and aaspects The chairs are placed in continuous straight rows, generally facing a single direction. Their cheers are like clapping in my ears.

All the people inside the stadium remark that need to pay respect or else you'll beheaded. What caught my attention were the people sitting on porcelain and gold chairs covered with sparkling diamonds. All of them were wearing clothes that indicated how big the gap was. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko.

Who are these people?

Where I am?

Mariin kong pinikit ang mga mata ko. Sinubukan kong alalahanin ang nangyari pero ang tanging naalala ko lamang ay ang mukha ng kapatid ko at ang kaniyang mga ngiti habang hawak ang kaniyang paboritong bulaklak.

Mabilis na minulat ko ang nga nata ko nang bigla na lamang gumalaw ang sahig. It was sudden that I almost forgot to breathe. I feel like all my organs are stuck in my throat. I clench my chest. My heart is beating so fast that I can't even draw the line between life and death.

The surface stops moving. Mabilis akong naghabol ng hininga at minulat ang mga mata. I thought I was going to die.

Dahan-dahan kong inangat ang buong paningin ko. Bumulaga sa akin ang matatas na pader sa aking paligid. Hindi ko alam kung nasaan ako. But how does the setting change that fast? I was stuck between two parallel walls. It wasn't that dark but fair enough to see that the surface sent me.

Napayakap ako sa sarili ko nang umihip nang malakas ang hangin. Mabilis na napahawak ako sa collar ko nang gumawa ito ng mahinang tunog. Kinapa ko ito at pinakiramdaman nang mabuti.

How did I get this anyway?

Ang daming tanong na gumugulo sa isip ko tungkol sa pagkatao na meroon ako. Kahit na pangalan ko ay hindi ko na rin maalala.

I began moving forward. I continue walking down the aisle, which has more pathways and walls. Sa tingin ko'y nawawala na ata ako. Kumunot ang noo ko nang makitang bumalik lamang ako sa dinaanan ko kanina.

My hair stood up when I heard one howl after another. At the same time, there was a series of fireworks from the sky. I was amazed because I hadn't just seen colorful fireworks in the sky before. Names and faces appear in the sky as well as the cost of millions has been dropped until it zero and vanished. Ganoon din ang nangyari sa iba pa.

"Entrant: 33 terminated," wika ng boses mula sa taas.

Terminated? Does that mean?

My hands are on my lips when my cheeks suddenly start to flush with tears. I have no idea why, but I have a strange fear of the code names that emerge in space. I wish the man in my dream wasn't involved. Even though I have no idea who it is, pinapanalangin kung hindi siya kasama sa mga na-terminate. I don't recall anything. Which makes it sound confusing, but I do remember him. The person I once called Moon.

Makalipas ang dalawang minuto ay saka lamang kumalma ang kalangitan. Naging tahimik ulit ang paligid. Mas lumalim ang gabi, at mas naging nakakatakot.

If some are terminated, that means someone terminated them. Pero ano? O sino?
