Chapter 12:

"What could be the possible way to get out of this place?" Xia spoke and looked at us. Her eyes were asking for any answers. But unfortunately I'm not in the mood to think of a solution nor help with them.

Nasira na ng antipatikong lalaki na kaharap ko ngayon ang araw ko, malas talaga. “The thing we should do is to find the exit, because if we don't, we're going to die.” Kadira replied.

I was just staring at the fire in front of us, thinking what can I do to ease this boredom. Honestly I can't feel anything right now, everything just feels blank. My stamina is drained, my body aches and I can’t find my mind. My mood swings are actually something beyond my control. And it sucks like the Olympians.

Siniko ako ng katabi ko kaya napunta sa kanya ang atensyon ko. Tumaas ang kilay ko sa kanya, at nagtatakhang tumingin.

“Ano kayang paraan para makaalis tayo dito no?” Bulong nito sa akin. Imbis na sagutin ito ay muli akong humarap sa apoy na nasa harap namin. Narinig ko pa ang pabulong bulong nito.

“Sungit naman feeling maganda.” Base sa boses into ay inismiran niya ako. Hindi ko na lang ito pinansin at napaisip sa sinabi niya, suddenly I regained my ability to think. From what I remember the headmistress said one thing.

Escape.

But we don't know how. It's like another thing to solve…

Naramdaman kong may nakatitig sa akin at ng hanapin ko ito ay nakita ko ang pares ng mata na kulay pilak na taimtim na nakatingin sa akin. I raised my eyebrow and gave him "what the fuck are you looking at me bitch look" umismid naman ito sa akin bago binalik ang atensyon niya sa apoy.

“Let's just call it a day. Let's have some rest then tomorrow we'll figure it out.” saad ko at tumayo na habang pinapagpagan ang leggings ko. Halata sa mukha nila ang pagod kaya siguro wala ng umangal pa at kanya kanyang tumayo at humanap ng pwesto. I just said that we’re going to figure it out but the truth is won’t, the hell I care.

Pumunta ako sa malaking puno, di kalayuan sa kanila. I saw Elo splash water on the bonfire. Good thing that the demigods were not there anymore. It's dangerous for them to know that Elo has strong speicals. Though I can still feel their faint presence not far from me.

Umayos ako ng upo at sumandal sa puno, I can feel that my body is aching. Ngayon ko lang ulit naramdaman pagkatapos ng walang kwentang paguusap namin.

I don't like the idea of working with them as a team. Because, they can't be trusted, and I don't know if they’re planning to betray me and elo or hide something under their clothing.

I heavily sighed.

Tumayo ako at marahang naglakad palayo sa kanila. I summon my shadows to avoid creating noises, even though it is sucking the little energy I have left. It became my floating feet, that's why I'm free from making crippling sounds of dried leaves and woods. Hanggang sa nakarinig ako ng rumaragasang ilog na di kalayuan sa akin.

With the help of my shadows, nakapunta agad ako sa ilog. This is what I totally need. The moon light reflects the water falls. Kulay asul ang tubig nito at sobrang ganda. I may hate the Gods with all my guts but not the world I'm in. Well somehow. There are a lot of things that I admire in this world, when the moon and dark collide, every waterfall, food, and Maru's bakery.

I suddenly thought of Maru, I miss him so bad. I hope he's in a good state and his bakery is doing well.

Agad kong hinubad ang pana ko sabay nilapag sa bato at sinunod ng hubarin ang suot kong damit. I can't feel the daemon's presence around so I'm confident there won't be no attack while I'm fully naked. Despite it, I didn't let my guards down instead I heightened all my senses to be ready for possible attack.
