"Pfft!" Natigil ako dahil bigla siyang tumawa. Ang kulay ng mukha nito ay unti-unting bumabalik. Like a fly, she easily lifted my hands away from her neck.
"You really are interesting, Faith."
"I told you I'm not-"
"Shaza Almira?" Banggit niya sa aking pangalan. Natuod ako sa aking kinatatayuan. Nanlaki ang aking mga mata habang nakatingin sa kaniya.
Bago ko pa man siya matanong ay nag-histerikal ito. Nagulat ako sa kaniyang reaksyon kaya nabitawan ko siya.
"How evil of you, Faith. To kill this old lady without an ounce of mercy?" Tumawa ulit ito. Why do I feel like I'm always losing this game?
"Get out of her body, right now," mariin kong utos sa kaniya.
She shrugged. "Well, I can always choose who to possess anyway." Siya na ngayon ay ang may ngiting nakakaloko. "I'll be looking forward to your revenge, Faith. See ya!" Pagkatapos niyang sabihin iyon ay bigla itong natumba sa lupa. The barrier that was sorrounding us is gone.
Wala na ba siya?
I slowly approached the body. Wala itong malay. Yinugyog ko siya para maggising. The last words from her is stuck in my mind.
She can always possess anyone, anytime. She's not killing me because she's interested in this set-up kahit alam niyang ako ang dehado. She's toying me and I hate that. May sira ata sa utak. Kung hindi niya gusto na sinisira ko ang kaniyang plano, bakit niya pa ako binuhay?
Come to think of it, earlier when she wrote something on her paper I did feel it - iyong nasa sulat niya... Ngunit nawala din naman kaagad. Is it because I'm not the original owner of this body?
Kung ganoon man, where's the real Faith and Ashley?
"Mmm." Miss Evette's body finally came to consciousness. Binuksan niya ang kaniyang mga mata. The blue color of her iris is so familiar, it was also the first one I saw when I opened my eyes in this world.
"Hija? Bakit ka nandito?" Tumayo siya at mukhang pagod na pagod na ito.
"Faith!" Loud footsteps were heard. Alam ko na kung sino ang mga ito kahit hindi ako tumitingin.
"Zas?" Takang tanong nito at tiningnan ang mga taong nakapaligid. Her eyes darted on me and scrutinized me up and down.
Before she could speak, nahimatay ulit ito. This time I'm sure that the so-called creator is gone. Hindi ko alam kung nasaan ito, she could be anywhere. Tiningala ko ang magkakapatid; the scary part is, posible niyang galawin itong sampu.
Hindi ko alam kung ano talaga ang kaniyang gusto o ang kaniyang plano. It's scary since she have the upper hand. She can control everyone just by writing. I saw it and I felt it.
"Ihahatid ko muna siya," ani ni Zas at kinarga si miss Evette. Bumalik na sa normal ang kanilang ekspresiyon, hindi ko nga alam kung bakit namumula sila kanina. Maybe, the effect of blood?
"Alright, we'll go home first," Vier and the others agreed.
Lutang naman ako. Hindi ko siya maialis sa aking isip. He or she knows my past life, and they're keeping their eyes on me. Bawat kilos ko na akala ay planado, they're one step ahead.
"Stop that." Kinuha ni Neon ang aking kamay. Hindi ko namalayan na kinakagat ko na pala ang aking kuko dahil sa kaba.
"Let's go."
May magagawa pa ba ako? Wala akong maisip. My enemy is invincible. Out of reach. Tama nga siya, para na rin itong Diyos sa mundong ito. Ang dami kong tanong, ang daming impormasyon na hindi ko maintindihan.
Craig put a cloth around my body. "Lalamigin ka sa Savieros," he stated and tightened it.
Hindi ako makaimik dahil naka-focus lang ako sa isang bagay - ang dahilan.
"Bro, look." Ang boses ni Kisshen na mukhang gulat na gulat ang kumuha sa aking atensyon kaya napalingon ako sa kaniya.
He's pointing at something. When I travelled my eyes to where he's looking at, my jaw almost dropped on the ground.
Parang kanina lang, kitang-kita ko ang kaguluhan na nangyayari dito.
"What happened?" Even Zas was frozen on his spot at nakatitig dito ng seryoso.
Sino ba naman kasi ang hindi magugulat? The place that was once burning like hell, is now standing tall and proud, na para bang wala lang nangyari.
Eulysis... It is connected to this creator. Did they do something para bumalik ito sa dati? Kung ganoon, the people... Specifically, those people whom I know; they're alive?
"I don't know what's happening here." I heard Zas words. It looks like he's just mumbling to himself but I think he's thinking out loud.
Tiningnan ko ang katawan na kaniyang hawak-hawak na walang malay. I know they felt it. The different, intimidating, and scaru presence that was residing in that body earlier. So I think they have a hint, na hindi si Miss Evette ang kausap ko kanina. Since Saviero have seventh sense and the basic senses are more heightened than humans.
But... Bakit hindi nila naramadaman ito noong nagpapanggap pang si Faith ang taong iyon? Did they also wrote to protect their identity?
Suddenly, fear creeped in my heart. This is getting out of hand. I don't know if they're after my life or naaliw lang talaga silang paglaruan ako - or maybe even both.
"Hey, breathe." Arkin's cold hands touched my cheeks. "Maaayos din ang lahat."
No, hindi maayos ang lahat. I don't know how to fix this, kayo pa kaya na hindi alam ang tunay na karakter ng iyong kalaban?
Hindi ko nalang siya sinagot.
"We'll investigate this matter. For now, let's go home and rest." Alok sa akin ni Vier. He assisted towards the car.
Zas disappeared out of nowhere, maybe he used a teleportation spell. Hindi ko din sila maintindihan minsan, why use a car when they can easily travel using their powers? Ugh. Whatever.
Tahimik ang byahe. Hindi naman awkward, more like, the atmosphere is serious. I can see it in their expressions. Nag-iisip ito sa nangyari kanina at mukhang naguguluhan sila.
"I never knew there's someone that powerful."
"Yes, I felt it. The tremendous power."
"The presence..."
Hindi ko sinubukang sabayan ang kanilang pag-uusap. Nakatingin lang ako sa labas. Nag-iisip kung ano ang dapat kong gagawin.
That person can kill me anytime she wants and I can't even do anything to avoid it.
Bakit ba puro nalang paghihirap? Bakit ba ayaw matapos-tapos nang mga nangyayari? All I wanted is a peaceful life after I died last time, in my past life.
But I guess, fate is cruel.
I peeked at them. They're still talking about what happened earlier. Nagtama ang paningin namin ni Craig dahil bigla itong bumaling sa akin. He just smiled gently.
Iniwas ko lang ang aking tingin at binalik ito sa labas ng kotse. The sky is getting dim; meaning, we're getting near their territory.
While contemplating on what to do next, there's only one idea that came to my mind.
Run away.
No, not that kind of runaway trope where I'll be running away from my problems. But to hide myself first. Dapat walang makakaalam kung nasaan ako. I need to get out of the book's premises. The three contintents that was mentioned in the book, I need to avoid it.
Napaisip kasi ako, since they are the author, the only grasp they have in their power is the place they have written. Ang tanong, saan ako pupunta?
I glanced at the siblings again for seconds. But the biggest hindrance of all, how can I escape from their palms?
I need to run away from here and think of a plan without anyone - connected to Eulysis and the book - knowing my whereabouts.
I sighed.
Running away from the ten vampires claiming me as their mate... Seems impossible to do.
