Second Life

Chapter 38.

Lianna’s POV.

Huminga akong malalim habang nakatingin sa mga kasama ko na tahimik din habang nakatingin sa isa’t isa. We are here in the living room after what happened outside. Malamang, nandito kami dahil pinatawag kami ni Kenzo to explain what happened. Wala na kaming takas kasi nakita na nila ang mga nangyari. We can’t just make excuses because it will not work. Yep! We are already cornered.

Kanina ay natalo nga ni Kenzo ang ahas gamit ang apoy. The snake were burned and it smells like it was a cooked meat. But unfortunately, we cannot eat it because it will yaste burned. So ang ginawa namin ay sinunog ulit hanggang maging abo na.

And about my friends finding Efrica, they didn’t find her. Nakabalik sila na may panlulumo. Porsia felt her in the forest near us but she suddenly left. Paano niya nalaman? It because she can talk to plants, weird right? But we can’t do about it, I think Efrica knows that we will going to find her. Alam na alam niya na papatayin ko siya because of what happened. She killed Queenie.

Speaking of Queenie, we still didn’t talk about what we’ll gonna do with her body. Kung itatapon ba namin, susunugin o pabayaan lang. But I bet they will not just abandon her body. Baka may makakakita at makagawa pa n ng bagong issue sa buong pilipinas. Pero pag-uusapan din naman ‘yan. Her body right now were inside a long box na nasa likuran ng malaking sofa na inuupuan ni Kuya Justine at ng iba.

Umirap ako nang hindi pa rin sila nagsasalita ngunit kanina ay sunod-sunod ang tanong. They even stepped away from us thinkig that we are some kind of demons. Tapos ngayon ay tatahimik sila at titigan lang kami? Didn’t they notice that we are justing waiting for them to ask?

Itinaas ko ang kamay ko at may yelong lumabas roon. Masama ang tingin ko sa kania kaya bigla silang napaupo ng tuwid at na-alerto. Their eyes even widened because of shock.

Bahagyang natawa si Kenzo sa tabi ko. “Chill, Ice. Hindi ikaw ang may hawak ng apoy." hindi ko pinatulan ang biro niya at masama pa rin ang tingin sa mga ito.

“Ano? Are you going to ask us or I’ll make you freeze?" banta ko na ikinalunok nila.

“A-Ano kayo? B-Bakit may kapangyarihan kayo?" nauutal na tanong ni Luke.

“O-Oo nga. Magic doesn’t exist!" Kassandra also said.

Tumingin ako kay Kenzo. Napatingin din siya sa akin. Tumango siya nang maintindihan niya ang tingin ko. I wanted him to tell everything because I am lazy to explain.

Tumingin siya sa kanila. “We will explain but please let us finish first and after that you can ask questions. Okay?”

“Ayaw naming malito,” saad ni Vincent. He’s being his back up since he was the third one who was recruited among us.
