Sky Nemesis' Point Of View
We all decided to go home since tomorrow is Tuesday and another day of mind torture. I speed away using my car and went directly to the old man’s mansion. That old man is turning into a jelly ace he’s now a maniac and informal. What happened to that old man? He must’ve eaten something that would turn him into a jelly ace.
I park my car at the garage of the mansion. Holly-Molly! The garage was a mess, the cars were deformed. That old man is getting into my nerves. I take the elevator and kick the old man’s door room really hard, oh great he’s watching inappropriate videos.
“Damn gramps, what happened to you?!” I blurted. He ignores me and continues watching those videos until he decided to play Grand Theft Auto in his new gadget, PSP.
“Heck gramps!” I said and steal the PSP away from him and throw it at the open window.
He cleared his throat and sit formally. “Sky, twagan mo ang grupo, may training kayo bukas.” He instructed me seriously. He’s now a bipolar.
“Before that old man, tell what happened to you.” I said to him like I was stabbing a thousand of cows. My phone suddenly rings, oh great, it’s my patient. I ended the call and look at grandpa, once again my phone rings. “What?” I answered the call angrily ignoring the caller.
“Ano ba ang problema mo Sky, the attitude pwede.” I glanced at the caller and it’s Dad. “Sky, believe on your grandpa, he’s different, but he’s excellent.” Dad said and sighed. I look at grandpa and he’s smiling like a psycho.
“Aist, fine.” I finally said. Dad ended the call and I took a glance on Gramps. “Old man, I am not going to play fool here, sabihin mo kung ano ang nangyari.”
He laughs like a devil and once again played. “This is the real Landon Harris, Sky, and the real Landon that your grandma fell in love with.” I saw pain in his eyes while saying those words.
“I am sorry gramps,” I said. Even though it is hard to apologize uhh. . . Forget it.
“Don’t be child, it is their fault anyway.” He blurted angrily.
“Them?”
“You’ll know in the future.” He once again said.
“Aist, I’m leaving gramps.” I said and left him alone there. Wala rin naman akong mapapala doon. I texted the gang about what gramps wants. “At least tomorrow will be a physical torture not a mental torture.”
I stayed in my room’s veranda and think about life. When will I ever be free from all those consequences and questions? Why life does is so unfair? All I want is to be happy and free.
“Thinking is good,” an annoying voice once again visited me.
“What now? Alam mo bang napipikon na ako sa pamisteryosong ginagawa mo. Tangna mo. Salamat nga pala sa necktie ha, ang gandang gawing clue. Idiot.”
“Hey everybody doesn’t want to be captured and tortured, right?” He asks, frowning. “And being called an idiot is a big insult to me.”
“Shut up idiot and surrender yourself,” I ordered and pointed a gun on him.
“Come on babe,” he calmed me. I pull the trigger; he jumped and throws me some smoking bomb.
“What the hell.” I muttered and cover my nose. After a minute the unpleasant smoke was gone. I feel his presence but no sign of him. I saw a blue rose and a letter, damn, that guy always wants to be a mystery. I read the letter and goodness; he’s really a conceited one.
“Dream of me. You’ll know someday. Right time; right place. –Black”
I fist in frustration. Damn that moron. “Hmmm, what is that smell? Fuck the smoke bomb.” I run into my room and close the door.

Morning came. I massage my temple and went to the bathroom. After doing all my morning doings I went to the kitchen. I saw the gang, feeling at home.
“Good morning Master!” they all greeted me. I just frown at them and sat on my chair.
“I guess you woke up in the wrong side of the bed,” Frances tease. I look at her tamely and eat.
“Anong nakain ni Sir Landon at naisip na i-train tayo?” Makabuluhang tanong ni Ryan.
“Ask him,” I answered him in a sarcastic way. He just frowns.
“Tara na bilisan niyo.” I ordered. Agad naman nilang binilisan ang pagkain at tumayo.
“Let’s have a game, kung sino ang unang maka rating sa mansyon siya ang panalo at makakaligtas sa mga utos ko.” Binasa ko ang mensahe ni gramps. Tinignan ko silang lahat tumango lang sila at nagkanya-kanyang sakay sa mga magagarang sasakyan.
Sumakay narin kami at pumarada sa labas ng mansion ko. “In three,” anunsiyo ko at bumusina ng dalawa hanggang sa tatlo.
Nauna si Frances at Jonathan. Sunod naman nun ay si Ryan, Jake at Michael. Ako naman ang huli. Ngumisi lang ako at ginamit ang short cut patungo doon. Mabilis akong nagmaneho patungo sa manyon.

“Playing dirty,” gramps commented and shook his head. I sit beside him.
“Wala namang nakalagay sa sulat mo na hindi puwede ang cheating,” paalala ko.
Tumawa naman ito ng malakas. “Mana ka talaga sa tatay mo apo.”
Umiling nalang ako at naghintay sakanila. Ano na kaya ang nagyari sa dumbass na iyon? Maybe he’s already dead? Forget it.
“What took the four of you so long?” salubong ko sakanila.
“You cheated again, Master,” komento ni Jake. “That’s how I play.”
“Come on,” aya ko sakanila at nauna ng tumungo sa practice room.
Agad namang umulan ng bala, naging alerto kami at kinuha ang mga baril galing sa likuran namin.
Matapos umulan ng bala ay sumunod naman ang mga knives na lumilipad. Umilag ako at pinagbabaril ang mga iyon.
Ito ba ang sinasabing pagbabago ni Dad. Brutal pala ni Gramps.

"Lolo tama na," pagmamakaawa ni Michael. Si Jonathan naman ay nakahiga na. Sina Frances, Ryan at Jake ay hinahabol ng mga aso.
"Kailangan niyo pang magsanay. Paano niya papatayin ang mga ahas." Wika niya at tuminging kay Jonathan ng masama. "Tumayo kayo at mag-ensayo. Pag hindi niyo ako natalo ay hindi ko kayo pakaka-inin at pagpapahingahin."
Sinugod naman nila si gramps pero parang wala lang sa kanya. Gaano ba kalakas ang matandang ito?
Tumingin si gramps saakin at ngumiti. Tinapunan niya ako ng tatlong kutsilyo. Mabuti at naka-ilag pa ako kung hindi ay patay na ako. Dahil ayaw ko ng sinu-supresa ako kaya naman ay sinugod ko siya.
Matapos ang away naming ay hindi ko na alam kung ano sunod na nangyari, nakahiga lang kaming lahat sa sahig at hindi makatayo. The hell, hindi ko magalaw ang katawan ko. Curse that old man.
“Takusan taberu.” he said, smirking. “Anata kuso yarō ga damare!” I cursed to Gramps and heaved.
He laughed. “Stand up, it’s time for dinner.” With that he left us dumbfounded.
“Sono rōjin wa noroi! ” I shouted and relaxed myself.
