Deceived ( Psycho series #4 )

Chapter 8

It's been days since we last met. Even though he sent me my car yesterday, he didn't show up.

"You good?" He sincerely asked.

"Yeah..." I whispered before leaving his car.

I watched how he drove away until he was gone from my sight.

I looked up and saw how gloomy the sky was.

Do you feel what I feel Shalaine?

I hope you do.

I'm sorry Keigan, I have a responsibility. The reason I came here in Manila.

"Ate Shai! It's red light!"

Nataranta ako sabay tapak sa break. "Oh.. I'm sorry.." I sighed.

"Tell me ate Shai, are you alright?" Ayu asked.

Pilit akong tumawa "Oo naman" Maikli kong sagot.

"You don't look fine to me." She grumpily said.

"Okay lang ako. Don't worry. Worry about your girlfriend, pano pag nalaman niya to?" I reminded her.

"She wont." She crossed her arms.

Saktong nag-green light na kaya nagdrive na ulit ako. When we arrived at the Cafè, pinigil niya ako bigla tsaka sumilip sa gilid.

"Bakit?" tanong ko naman.

"Look oh, nagsusubuan" She giggled pointing at Ecka and that Green Eyed man again, I suppose.

"Tara na huy, we're 1 minute late" Hinatak ko naman siya.

Ecka immediately approached us at tsaka niya kami inayang umalis ulit, bibili pa naman ako ng kape e.

Dumating kami sa bar kaya nagtaka ako. Dito ba?

Ecka just kept walking, we entered a VIP room where she revealed a door. Turns out it was a elevator. Bumaba kami don.

It's strangely dark and quiet, and the atmosphere forbids me to breathe freely. I'm having goose fucking bumps.

We soon met the Headmaster. Biglang lumuhod si Ecka sabay yuko kaya nagkatinginan muna kami ni Ayu bago kami sumunod.

He dismissed Ecka and he was preparing to ask us questions. "Hi there lady's Don't be nervous." He laughed, and it was creepy because it echoed around the room. "I only have one question." He smiled. "The only answer that I want is a yes."

I gulped as I felt a suffocating presence. "Are you willing to die?"

I froze.

Die.

I can't.

Even If I wanted to, I can't.

I'm here to look for my parents.

"I'll ask you again." He released a deep breath. "Are you willing to die?" The headmaster asked with more authority now.

"Yes." Ayu answered confidently.

"Ayu?" My brows furrowed.

"I came here, to learn, I wanted to defend myself because I know my parents couldn't. And they never tried either way." She whispered while looking down.

I can see her fist whitening up as she clenches it.

I'm scared to die. I hadn't fulfilled my promise to my lola and lolo yet, I haven't found my parents.

But this is the only choice I have.

If I learn to fight, If I learn how to track people, IfI start to have connections because of this organization, there's a huge probability that I will.
