"Your sister needs you."
Panandalian akong napayuko sa harap ng prinsipe sa oras na makasalubong ko siya, at pinuntahan ko kaagad si Ashina na naiwan sa kwarto kung nasaan sila nagkita.
Kakarating ko lang sa palapag kung nasaan yung kwartong 'yon, but I could already feel Ashina's bloodlust crawling all over the place. This is the first time in a while that it had gotten this strong.
It's always Lionel that can make her go crazy like this.
"Ashina?" Humarap ako sa pinto nung kwarto kung nasaan siya, at nakatanggap kaagad ako ng sagot.
"No! 'Wag kang papasok!"
Narinig kong sigaw ni Ashina sa likod ng pinto, and I somehow knew what was going down.
"Ashina, you have to let me in." I asked her calmly, at nararamdaman ko yung pagkataranta niya sa kada salitang lumalabas sa bibig niya.
"I— I can't—"
Nakarinig ako ng ingay sa loob ng kwarto pero hindi pa rin binubuksan ni Ashina yung pinto.
"Ashina."
Tinawag ko ulit yung pangalan niya, and she answered.
"Hindi nga pwede! Ilang beses ko bang sasabihin na ayoko!?" I could hear a sharp gasp even from behind the door. She must've been surprised by her own actions.
But I wasn't surprised. Some things she did before were even worse than that.
"I'm sorry.. I'm sorry, Alkaia." Narinig ko ng mas malapit yung boses ni Ashina. Lumapit siguro siya sa pinto. So, I stayed in my place.
I'll scare her if I move, so it's better this way.
"Hindi ko alam yung nangyayari sa akin. It's like— I went crazy. I want to hurt people. I want to see blood. I want to hurt— you."
Naririnig ko yung paghikbi niya dahil hindi niya naiintindihan yung nangyayari sa kanya. She was crying already. She's always been a crybaby.
"Ashina.. I want you to trust me, okay?" Wala na akong narinig na sagot mula sa loob ng kwarto, but I was sure that she was listening.
"Kailangan mong buksan yung pinto para matulungan kita." I carefully explained to her, and there was still no answer.
Siguro hindi siya naniniwalang kaya ko siyang tulungan sa sitwasyon niya ngayon. It makes sense. This is the first time that she was conscious about what's happening in her body and mind.
Idagdag mo pang nakatali siya kay Lionel and Ascelin ngayon.
