Shadow's Revenge

Eleven

Heaven knows kung gaano ko pinagsisisihan ang nangyare noon. Kung pwede ko lang ibalik ang nakaraan ginawa ko na pero hindi e. Kaya naman-- bilang shadow niya-- I'll make all those people pay.

I came back to myself when I felt a cold metal part on the side of my head. In the side of my eyes, I saw Lolo with the gun on his hand pointed at me.  After seeing Lolo on my side, tumingin naman ako sa kabilang gilid ko. Nakasandal si Liam sa isang cabinet na malapit sa bintana habang hawak-hawak rin ang baril sa kanan niyang kamay.

  So a set up isn't it? How interesting.

"Chairman 'di ko alam na may oras pa pala kayo para mag planuhin kung papaano ako mamatay," ngumisi ako.

"Ngayong wala na si Alia at bumalik na ang lahat ng may atraso sayo, madaming-madami na akong oras para patayin ka katulad ng ginawa mo sa kanya," mapait niyang saad.

"Kung ganun bakit kailangan niyo pang isama ang lalaking 'yan? Ayaw niyo bang solohin ang pagpatay sa'kin?" sumilip ako kay Liam. "Unless you can't kill me on your own."

Kailangan ko makahanap ng paraan para makaalis dito. Pwede akong tumalon palabas ng bintana kaso malapit dun si Liam. May baril pa siya habang ako wala! Tsk! Dapat kasi nag handa ako ng mga gamit para sa ganitong situation.

Mas nilapit ni Lolo ang baril sa ulo ko, but his shaking. "I know how you work, Aida. One single wrong move and I'll be the one who dies. Remember, that's what you did to her? You made a selfish wrong move and killed your sister."

"Why blame me for the whole thing? Dapat sinisisi mo rin ang sarili mo Lolo," balik ko sa kanya.

"I had nothing to do with what happened to Alia," depensya niya.

"But you did something," pinasok ko sa loob ng front bulsa ko ang kamay ko. May nakapa akong pwede kong gamitin. "You are the reason why I had anger growing inside of me. Don't you also remember? Dahil iniwan niyo ako sa school na iyon at ibigay ang dapat na sa'kin nagawa kong saktan si Alia."

"Then you admit you did plan all of those," singit ni Liam.

Inilingon ko ang ulo kay Liam. "Oh please! If I wanted her gone I would have done it the first time we've seen each other. What happened to her was just pure luck. Buti nga sa kanya," kunwari kong sinabi.

I'm sorry Alia, but this is for the best. I have to lie in order for me get out of this situation and bring those people down. I hope Liam and Lolo can also forgive me for being this way. I don't mean to hurt anyone.

Naglakad papalapit si Liam sa'kin at tinutok niya sa'kin ang baril niyang hawak. When he got in my side, I was feeling tho guns pointing in the side of my head. This is dangerous I admit, but I have to do it.

"How do you sleep at night knowing you've killed someone, huh Aida? Papaano?!" sigaw ni Liam.

"Easy," I smirked to his face. "Like a shadow sleeping in heaven," I said teasingly.

I felt both of the guns on my head tremble. I made them even more furious, but this is what I needed. That's why agad kong siniko ang sikmura nilang dalawa at inilabas ang maliit kong knife sa pocket. Agad kong hinarap silang dalawa and made a slice near their eyes.

"Ah!" they both yelled.

Nang makapikit silang pareho, I took that chance to push them out fo the way then run out toward the window. Pagkatalon ko sa bintana agad kong narinig ang alarm ng Main House. As soon as I landed on the ground tumakbo ako papunta sa pader.
