Game of Death

Death 5

"Where are you going to take me?" He asked. I don't have a choice.

"At my house." Labag man sa kalooban ko ay wala rin naman akong choice na dalhin siya sa bahay ko. If I am going to take him at our house, I am hundred percent sure he will be dead once he step on our property.

"Fine." He is badly hurt because of the poison. If hindi ko bibilisan ang pagmamaneho baka mamamatay na ito.

"Does it hurt?" Why did I even asked that? How stupid. "No." His eyes say it otherwise.

"Rest for a while." Thank God. The poison isn't spreading fast in his system. Though, it will only give him pain. If he wasn't lucky enough to have a strong immune system he'll die. He lied down on the couch, close eyes.

I started looking for the medicine. Where is it? I looked at my watch. Three hours more to go. Where did I put it?

Someone is calling ...

It's grandpa.

I swiped my phone.

"Your mission is aborted." Then, he ended.

Aborted?! Why did he said that?

"Aaaaack!" Chris shouted. Bumalik ako sa sarili ko nang narinig ko ang sigaw niya. Hang in there. Just a couple of minutes. There you are!

This will work.

I examined his left arm. Umiiba ang kulay nito. Is it really that strong? Sigh. "You should stay at my house for a couple of days." I said while he is sleeping. I can see through him that he is badly hurt. The medicine that I gave to him will give him so much pain than the poison that it is giving him.

Iniwan ko muna siya at pumasok sa kuwarto ko. I kept on dialling my grandpa. I need answers.

"What do you need? " "Grandpa, I need an explanation. "

"You know me Carolline. When I tell you to abort your mission you must abort it. No more questions."

Damn it.

Kung susugurin ko na siya ngayong gabi ay baka mamatay ako. What? I am also a human not a fucking Goddess. Kung padalos dalos ako dahil sa galit ko ay may mangyayaring masama.

I know my grandpa, I know him well.

Maingat siya sa mga galaw niya, magugulat ka na lang na trap ka na pala niya. Hinding-hindi ka kailanman makakaalis sa mga kamay niya.

He loves building labyrinths for his prey. He loves how his preys think of an escape. An escape for nothing. You can't even escape on that labyrinth. You can't.

I trust my grandpa on this one. I trust him so much. I will just wait for the right time to finish my greatest enemy.

Pumasok ako ng shower room para makapaglinis na kahit papaano. I stayed there for a couple of minutes. After that, humiga na ako sa kama ko. Tinititigan ko lang ang kisame. Napaisip na nan ako sa ginawa ko sa araw na ito. What have I done? Dapat pala hindi ko siya dinala dito. If ever malaman nila ang pagdala ko ng isang tao sa pamamahay ko ay malalagot ako. Especially grandpa. I hope hindi niya ito malaman.

I want to close my eyes and sleep, but I can't. There are a lot of things occupying my mind right now. Sigh. Iinom na lang siguro ako. Kinuha ko ang keys ko para pumunta ng bar. I need to have some air. I need to erase the images that've been flashing to me.

Naglakad na ako para lumabas. Tinignan ko ang lalakeng nasa couch na nahihirapan sa pagtulog. Lumuhod ako ng kaunti.

"The pain will soon be vanish." Kaya ko kaya siyang iwan sa lagay niyang ito? Sigh. Well, I am the reason why kung bakit nangyari sa kanya. But, it is his decision to catch the arrow for me. I really hate making decisions.
Napagdesisyon kong tumayo na. Pagkatayo ko ay biglang nagdampi ang balat naming dalawa. Will that be a sign for me to stay?
