The KNIGHT

Why?

Lia

Were those gunshots again?!!!

I touch my chest. Sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko. Nag aalala ako kay Lance. What if they caught him tapos....

I shook off the thought.

Sobrang dilim din. Bakit namatay ang ilaw?

Suddenly I heard footsteps coming my way. I stiffened. I can't see anything dahil sa sobrang dilim. Suddenly I heard someone standing at the side of the car where I am hiding.

I quickly rolled out of the car and stand up pero I didn't expect someone would be grabbing me on the other side.

I screamed.

"Sus pinahirapan mo pa kami miss!" I heard the guy who grabbed me said.

Nagpupumiglas ako pero mas malakas sya kesa sa akin.

"Let go of me!" I commanded.

"Pare babarilin ko na ba?!" I heard another voice said.

"Sira ka ba?!!! Eh kung tamaan mo ako?!!! Buksan mo muna yung ilaw!" The one who is holding me said.

"Kung di mo kasi nabitawan at nasipa yung baril mo kanina nung namatay yung ilaw eh di dapat tapos na itong problema natin." Sabi naman nung isa.

I am so afraid right now. When that light turns on it will be over for me.

"Lance!!!!!!" I shouted hoping he will be around but no one came.

"Bakit pa natin bubuksan? Ibigay mo na lang sa akin yang babae at ako ng tatapos sa kanya." the other guy said.

Grabe yung kabog sa dibdib ko. Suddenly a loud blaring music enveloped the whole area. Sandaling na distract yung dalawang mokong because of it. I took a chance and ended up biting the arm of the one who is holding me until he lets go tapos inapakan ko yung paa nya bago pa nya ako maibigay doon sa kasama nya.

I started running after that kahit mabangga pa ako ng mabangga kung saan saan.

I heard them running after me shouting and cursing.

I heard gun shots. I covered my ears. They are shooting blindly at me. Suddenly I tripped over something and I fell on the ground.

I touched something warm. I shriek to find myself above a lifeless body.

Suddenly I felt someone grabbed my shoulder.

I screamed and tried to free myself from the guy.

"Lia! It's me."

I stiffened.

That's Knight's voice hindi ako pwedeng magkamali. That muffled voice is definitely from him. I turn my head on my side and saw Knight.

What is he doing here?

Itinayo nya ako. "Let's get out of here." He said.

"Teka lang. May kasama ako. Si Lance. Nakita mo ba sya? Is he fine?" I frantically ask. Nag-aalala ako kay Lance.

Hindi sumagot si Knight. Pagtayo namin eksaktong bumukas yung ilaw.

Doon ko napansin that Knight's left arm is bleeding.

"You're hurt!" I exclaimed.

He grunted and moved away nung tangka ko syang hahawakan.

"I am fine." He said.

Suddenly the two guys appeared in front of us. One of them holding a gun.

Knight instantly move in front of me to block me from the enemies and then he threw something at them. It exploded and a black paint covered their faces.
