The GoodGuy meets the Badchick

Chapter 28: Battle of the Songs

Kieth's POV

,

"When the days are cold

And the cards all fold

And the saints we see

Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail

And the ones we hail

Are the worst of all

And the blood's run stale."

Paninimula ko ng kanta at tumahimik naman ang lahat at nakikinig.

"I wanna hide the truth

I wanna shelter you

But with the beast inside

There's nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed

We still are made of greed

This is my kingdom come

This is my kingdom come."

Tinignan ko naman ng saglit si Raine at nakatingin din siya sakin saka ngumiti. Ngumiti ng bahagya.

Binalik ko naman yung tingin ko sa kamay kong nagsa-strum.

Bakit para atang nakakapanibago yung mga kinikilos niya.

Bakit parang nag-iba na siya ata.

"When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It's where my demons hide

It's where my demons hide

Don't get too close

It's dark inside

It's where my demons hide

It's where my demons hide"

Nung tumingin ako sa kanya ulit ay nagkatinginan naman sila ni Dainiel at nung nginiti-an siya nito ay ngumiti din siya.

Anu ba ang nangyayari sa kanya?

Yung feelings ko? Illusion lang kaya?

Kasi sabi nila mahal ko siya, hindi kaya yun din ang iniisip ko?

Raine's POV,

"At the curtain's call

It's the last of all

When the lights fade out

All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave

And the masquerade

Will come calling out

At the mess you made."

It's the first time na narinig kong kumanta si Kieth at sobrang ganda pala yung boses niya.

Nung maligaw sakin yung tingin niya nginiti-an ko siya.

Alam kong maraming nagtataka pero napaisip din ako sa sinabi sakin ni Jam kanina sa kitchen.

"Don't wanna let you down

But I am hell bound

Though this is all for you

Don't wanna hide the truth
