BLACK PHOENIX

Chapter 24 - Missing

Trixie's POV

The subscriber cannot be reach.
“Asan kaba Kuya Tazuke."

Hindi ko na alam kung paano ako nakarating sa kotse ko. I’m so worried about Margarette Jane.
 
“Damn it!” Someone flatted the my car’s tires.
 
This can’t be. This is a mess! I dunno what to do, where to go and who to contact.

Out of consciousness I dialled Nick’s number. Maybe  he knows where is Kuya Tazukd. Arg! No choice.

The number you’re trying to contact is busy. Please leave the message after the beep. You message will automatically ---
 
Walang silbi kahit kelan!
Suddenly a thought flash on my mind.

Flash call. Tricia’s number.

“Cancelled!? The hell!” Sigaw ko. Mukhang hindi nito napansin na ng-flash call ako.

“This is me Tricia!” Sabi ko.

“What!? I can’t---“
 
“Bullsh*t! This is Trixie. I need a car, now. Margarette Jane is in trouble.”

“What!? Ghad! I’m coming in a minute.”

Cyro's POV

“Not here.” Shinichi reported.
 
Kanina pa namin hinahanap si Serine.

Dumadami na din ang tao sa campus kaya nagpasya na kaming  ipatawag ang underlyings ng DAG para makatulong sa paghahanap.

Mamaya pa naman ang pagpapakilala ng Black Council First Lady.

“Over here!” Nick shouted.

Nagkatinginan kaming tatlo.
Nagkalat ang mga libro.

Libro at ilang gamit na pag-aari ni Serine.

“She’s missing. Tazuke must know.” I said.

“Lets go.” Nick stated.

Trixie’s POV

We are about to leave when I saw Margarette Jane.

“Sissy? Margarette Jane! Lil-sissy.” Sigaw ko.

Hindi ko na napigilan mapaluha. Sinalubong ko na sya.

“Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko kung may nangyaring masama sayo.” I hug her.
 
“I’m okay Ate.” She said in between her sobs.

“Hey, Stop crying. I’m here. No one can hurt you now.” I hug her tighter.

“Ate Tri---” Sabi nitong iyak pa din ng iyak.

“Ssh. I understand. It’s okay. It’s okay.” Alo ko kay Margarette Jane

“Margarette Jane!” Someone called my little princess behind my back.

I turned aroud. Mukhang nagulat ang mga ito ng makilala ako.

“What happened. Bakit andungis ng mga suot nyo?” Tanong ko kay Jade at Jasmine. Nakatitig lang ang dalawang bata kay Margarette Jane.

Tila ba may kahulugan ang mga titig na iyon.

“Margarette Jane.” Tawag muli ni Jade na bahagya pang lumapit dito.
 
Mas lumapit naman sa akin si Margarette Jane.

Ngayon ko lang napansin ang dungis din nya.

Pinagmasdan ko lang silang tatlo.
Tatanungin ko na sana sila kung ano talaga ang nangyari ng magsalita si Jasmine.

“Margarette Jane.”  Naluluhang tawag nito.

I look at Margarette Jane. Nakatingin din sya sa dalawa.

Tumingin sya sa akin. Nanginginig sya. Namumutla.
 
Humigpit ang hawak nya sa damit ko.
Parang may nais syang sabihin sa akin pero wala syang boses at lakas ng loob na sabihin iyon.

Pumatak ang luha nya kasabay nito ang pagbagsak nito.

Margarette Jane's POV

“Sheri! Okay ka na ba?” Jade looks so worried ng sinabi nya yon.

“Anung pakiramdam mo? May masakit ba?” Si Jasmine naman. Sunod-sunod ang tanong nila ng pag aalala sa akin.

“Pahinga ka muna ah.” Sabi ni Jade ng bumangon ako. Sumandal ako sa headboard.
 
I look around. Isang room na kulay pink. Shades of pink lahat ng bagay.
Pink na couch. Pink na TV. Pink na flowers. Pink na curtains.

No doubt nandito ako sa private hospital room ni Ate Trixie.

Panu ako napunta dito.
Seeing my bestfriend reminds me of what happened.
 
“I’m sory. This is my fault.” Hindi ko sila matingnan sa mata.
 
Nahihiya ako sa kanila. Dahil sa akin muntik na silang mapahamak
buti na lang nandun si Nerd. I mean si Cyrine. Nope. I must call her Ate Cyrine from now on.
 
“What happened to her? Where is she?” I asked Jade and Jasmine. I dunno what really happen.

"I’m so sorry Ate Cyrine. I do nothing to save you. I’m blinded with hatred and anger. I’m sorry." I told myself. Tears started to fall. "How I wish you could give me another chance." I prayed.
 
Nick’s POV
 
“We are still looking for Cyrine. Sheri is in the hospital." I informed Tazuke.

I’m sorry Tazuke. I need to protect Trixie. I can’t tell what really happen to her.” I told myself while looking at Tazuke breaking all the things na mahawakan nito.

“I don’t want to do this but because of Trixie, I will.” Naisip ko habang unti-unti kong isinasara ang pinto.
