Death Grip (On-going)

DEATH GRIP: CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN

My eyes weren't open yet, but my hearing is clear. Hindi ko maigalaw ang katawan ko, pakiramdam ko rin ang init init ko. Everything in my body is burning.

"Pass me the drowgy," ani ng isang boses. Pagkatapos non ay nakarinig ako ng pagkilos. I felt a needle in my left arm but I didn't react in its pain.

"Can you hear me, Stacey? Can you open your eyes?"

Sinubukan kong buksan ang mga mata ko, at hindi kagaya kanina ay naimulat ko ito ng bahagya. Everything is white and blurry, but I can see Red leaning down at me along with my other friends. His face is filled with worry and so I gave him a small smile.

"What happened?" He whispered as he gently squeezed my hand, but I was too weak at the moment to speak a word.

My eyes scanned the whole place, but the one I am searching is nowhere to be found. How come he is not here? I need to talk to him. I was about to move and sat up on the bed when I heard the cure person speak. Her back facing my direction dahil may ginagawa siya sa push table niya.

"Her mind was damaged, just like before with Lance. Only this time, the damage is not that serious. The gripton is knowledgeable, but the control isn't mastered." She explained as she went closer to Red handing him two vials of drowgy and continuing to speak with how should I intake the blue liquid.

My eyebrows creased as I stared down the white blanket. Bakit nag-flashback ako sa memory na yon at bakit parang alam na alam ni Jaiser ang pangyayaring iyon? Is that his gripconto?

Nakalabas din naman ako ng Cure Center nung tanghali na, kaya kasabay ko na ulit sila Red sa foyer. The entire time, I am just looking at the Progression's table. I badly want to talk to him and ask why the hell does he have that memory, my memory. Pero gustuhin ko man ay masyadong hirap akong lumapit sa kaniya dahil kay Kaiser. Judging by the way he shot his death glare towards me, he seem to hate me so much. I wonder why. Ni hindi ko nga siya nakakausap magmula nung makausap sila ng Death Grip back to the Naturans.

"She was defeated. That supernal-wannabe," my head snap at the direction of three girls from Class Qualified. We are now headed to our next agenda today nang makasalubong namin sila.

I felt Red held my hand tightly and that calmed my nerves. I looked up at him and give my faintest smile before pacing forward.

"I did not wish to become like this in the first place," I murmured and before I could even continue, he dragged me to nearest corner of the school corridor.

I blinked twice and thrice by his sudden actions making me stare at him. His face was in annoyance, but his eyes tells more different. He look so worried as he examined my face. He bowed his head before lifting back his gaze to mine and then pulled me in a warm hug. My eyes brimmed with tears by the gesture.

"I'm sorry I couldn't do everything to protect you," he sounds so miserable and desperate at the same time.

At that very moment, I realized that while I am hurting, he's hurting too. So I wiped the tears in my eyes and carefully break the hug before smiling at him. I couldn't find the words so I just follow my heart and kissed him. I perfectly know how much he cared for me, and I am already the happiest woman in this world.

My arms snaked around his neck as he pulled me closer to his body, sharing his scent all over me. I felt his hands caressing my waist and my body arched, reaching for his lips for more. We both ran out of breath and pulled out from the sweet kiss we shared. I smiled at him.

"It's already perfect when I'm with you, Red. You don't have to do everything,"

The next thing I knew, kasama ko na ulit ang mga kaibigan ko sa Class Outstanding. This time, we were just dueling with each other. Medyo naiinis ako dahil para akong baby na hindi nila sineseryoso, dahilan nila baka raw mapano ako. I sighed irritably, while dodging a small ball of fire thrown by Red.
