Fantaisie en Réalité

Chapter 5

"Pagpasensyahan mo na si El Supremo" saad sakin ng isang lalaki. Inabot nya sakin ang isang bowl ng pagkain. "Walang lason iyan o kung ano man" dugtong nito ng mapansin na tila nag-aalinlangan akong kunin yun.

I accepted it and started eating it. Kanina pa ko walang kinakain. Akala ko nga balak nila kong patayin sa gutom.

"Luceo nga pala" anito. Hindi ako nag-abalang tingnan sya. Nagpatuloy lang ako sa pag-kain.

"Kung gusto mo pa ay magsabi ka lang-- muling saad nito at tumayo na. May sasabihin pa sana ito ng putulin ito ng isa pang lalaki.

"Hindi mo dapat kinakausap ang isang bihag Luceo" saad ng bagong dating. He's looking at me as if he's judging my whole soul. If I am not mistaken, siya iyong laging kasama nung Pinuno nila.

Sa loob ng dalawang araw na pananatili ko dito, I just noticed the way he's looking at me. I don't know if I am being delusional or what. He looks at me differently, yung para bang kakainin ako ng buhay.

Pero sya yung madalas sumaklolo sakin, just like the last time, he was the one who killed the wild boar which  could have killed me. Pero sya din yung madalas mag suggest na patayin nalang ako.

Well, yeah, I can hear them. Alam ko kung anong mga plano nila sakin that day. Gross nga yung mga suggestion ng lalaking to, kung hindi ibitin ako patiwarik sa puno, he'll suggest to cut my stomach wide and let my organs hanging. He wants the Ispero to see me that way daw.

E kung sa kanya ko kaya gawin yun? Actually lahat sila gusto kong patayin in a gruesome way.

Tsk. Ayoko nang mag isip. Nagpatuloy nalang ako sa pagkain ngunit ng matapos ay nakatayo parin siya sa harap ko. Tsk. Anong problema ng lalaking to?

"Arzel" tawag sa kanya nung pinuno nila.

I looked at him. "Kung may plano kang gawin, sabihin mo na" saad nito ay tumalikod na.

D*mmit! Anong plano ba? Hindi nga kasi ako Ispero! Ilang beses ko bang dapat sabihin yun? Wala akong plano! Wala akong balak at wala akong kinalaman sa nangyayari sa kuta nila!

"Arghhh!" one man is being pierced by a wooden spears on his chest. One is stabbed on his leg, one slit someone's throat.

I couldn't watch this!

Everything is in chaos. We are being attacked! We are in the middle of the forest and was about to get ready to take a rest, some was about to sleep when a group of soldiers appeared from nowhere. It was an ambush!

Everyone is fighting for their lives, at ako? Nasa gilid lang ng puno, nagtatago. I am shivering with fears. Hindi ko alam kung tatakbo ba ko or magtago nalang dito. I don't know how to fight, I don't know how to save myself from this blood shedding scene. Gusto kong tumakbo palayo pero tila walang lakas ang mga binti ko para tumakbo--sobra kong natatakot sa nakikita ko.

Blood is everywhere, lots of lifeless body are on the ground. Screams are echoing in the middle of this dark forest. I covered my ears and it was too late for me to notice a man beside me swinging his knife.

Bago pa makaiwas ay naramdaman ko ang pagbaon niyon sa bandang balikat ko. F*ck!

"Arghhhhhhh!" pumunit sa kalaliman ng gabi ang sigaw kong iyon dahilan upang halos lahat sila ay mapalingon sa kinaroroonan ko.

I tried to kick him but it was useless. Mas lalong idiniin ng lalaki ang pagkakasaksak nya sakin. He smiles like a lunatic, I can clearly see his face. He has got a tattoo right under his left eye. Maliit lang iyon but it's like a crow or something.

F*ck!

Why it's seems so familiar?

The next thing I knew, everything went black. Pero bago iyon ay nakita ko pa ang paglapit ng grupo ni El Supremo sa dereksyon ko. As I closed my eyes I saw how El Supremo killed the man who stabbed me.
