THE SILENCE WAS THICK and I could almost feel it in the atmosphere. I could smell it.
No one dared to speak.
I stared at Bea who tried her best not to cry. Beside her limply sat the guy who took the bullet as she pressed her hand on his wound to prevent it from bleeding. Even though she was on the verge of tears, she didn't let it to hinder what she needed to do.
I knew the guy but I just couldn't pinpoint his name exactly. He was famous back in our school and if I wasn't wrong, he even ran for the position of the Supreme Student Government's president.
The guy's breathing was labored and shallow. Blood and sweat soaked his police uniform. His eyes were closed, unconscious.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, concentrating and finding a connection to his blood. It was also under my power to manipulate bodies, but it was unfortunate that I couldn't heal him. I could only prevent his blood from spilling from his veins. It was the only thing I could do to help.
Millions of threads connected me to his cells and it was like he somehow became a part of my body. His blood reacted to what I willed them to do.
Napansin siguro ni Bea ang ginagawa ko. Tumingin siya sa 'kin at binigyan ako ng isang ngiti. Binalik ko naman 'yon sa kaniya at nagpatuloy sa pagpigil ng pagdurugo. Dahan-dahan naman tinanggal ni Bea ang kaniyang kamay sa balikat no'ng lalaki. At tulad nga ng ginagawa ko nakita niya na nabawasan ang pagtagas ng dugo sa sugat.
"Thanks," bulong niya sa 'kin at tumingin na sa pabilog na bintana. Tinitigan niya ang Earth mula do'n.
Hindi na muna siya nagsalita ng iilang sandali. Hindi ko rin ibinuka ang aking bibig at gano'n rin ang ginawa no'ng babaeng may pulang buhok.
Hanggang sa hindi niya na rin nakayanan ang katihimikan kaya naman tumabi siya sa tabi ng isang babae. Sinusubukan niyang alisin ang kaniyang isip do'n sa lalaking kasama niya.
Nagsalita si Bea at nabasag ang katahimikan sa paligid.
"What's your name?"tanong niya sa babaeng kulay pula ang buhok.
Tiningnan siya ng babae at nagdalawang isip kung sasagutin niya ba si Bea.Huminga muna siya nang malakim bago sumagot ng, "Ezerina."
