Haunted Past

Chapter Two

The moment when Zedri left, the aura of the entire house suddenly changed.

Napatingin ako sa kapatid ni Zedri. Si Ash.

"So, you're the girl, huh." He said, coming near me. He had this mysterious yet powerful eyes that made me feel awkward to met his gaze. "He's right. You had her resemblance." Then I feel his gaze still on me. I turn to look up at him. Resem... whaat? Her? Sino yun? Sino yung tinutukoy niya?

"I guess you're the reason why my stupid little brother spends the most of his time just staying at home." Tapos bigla siyang tumayo. "Do you mind If I ask you something?"

Hindi pa rin nawawala yung tingin ko sa kanya. He sounds like he's irritated. 

"Why are you here?" I can feel that he's having a hard time not to make sound so angry. "What do you want with my brother?"

I grab my board and write something, and when I'm done, I let him read it. He was the one who brought me here. 

But then he became more irritated. "Are you a fvckin' dumb, mute, or what? Hindi ka ba marunong magsalita?" Automatically, I look away. He's very different from Zedri.

Then I heard him sigh. "Honestly, this is bullshit."

Yeah, I'm the bullshit. 

Obviously, he hates me. He doesn't want me to stay here. Because I'm just a burden for Zedri. Or isa pang reason dun is he's just worried that I might kill his beloved brother once I gone nuts. He thinks I'm so weird. But I understand him, though. If he wants me out, fine. I don't want to stay here anyway.

Humahanap lang naman ako ng tamang tyempo para umalis. 

"Do you have any family? Alam mo ba kung nasaan sila?" Out-of-the blue, nagtanong siya. It takes a few seconds before the words finally sinked-in to my brain. I reached for my head to stop me from remembering. I closed my eyes as if I could stop remembering. But they're already flashing inside of my head.
