Knowing HEZEKIEL (Completed)

Chapter 5

"D-Demon?" I almost choke saying that word. Akala ko tatawa siya pero nanatili siyang nakangisi sakin. He even exhaled a sigh and chuckled as he put his cap around his head. Kagaya kanina ay binaliktad pa rin ang pagsuot at kalahati lang ng ulo ang natatakpan revealing half of his messy hair.

"Seriously?" This time I sounded like a bitch trying to laugh at him. "Really? Oh come on! I'm not stupid enough for your stupid game. You're just a. . ." but my word hung in my mouth as he slowly bends his face towards me. I felt a stab of pain at my chest, I can't breathe, and my legs are numb while my eyes starting to water as he stares at me intently with those red eyes. I can't move. I'm dying. Please help me!

"No one's gonna help you." He smiles sabay pitik sa noo ko kasabay nang pagsinghap ko. I gasp as I gained the strength to breathe again. Halos maubo ako sa pagbabalik ng hangin sa katawan ko.

"Sorry!" he playfully patted my head. Mabilis ko siyang tinulak.

"F-freak!" sigaw ko sa kanya. Hinihingal akong napahawak sa dibdib ko. Akala ko katapusan ko. "You almost killed me. Demonyo ka nga!"

"Finally!" he exclaim happily. Pumalakpak pa siya. "Sa wakas natumpok mo rin. Matalino ka nga!"

"Shut up! Ugh! I can't believe this." I glared at him and look at him from head to toe. "You can't be. It's impossible. I encounter a demon? Talk with demon? Really? Hahaha! No freaking way!" para na akong nababaliw na sinubunutan ang sarili ko. Gusto kong iuntog ang ulo ko sa pader. I want to wake up in this f*cking nightmare. There's no way in hell I'll be dealing with a monster.

Napatingin ako sa kanya. He just smirks at me at prenting nakasandal sa windshield. His eyes became dark again but I swear I saw how it became red a while ago. Napakurap pa ako ng biglang nawala ang ngisi niya at seryuso na siyang nakatitig sa mga mata ko. Shit! He read my mind.

"I want you to sneak in your house tonight."

"What?" napataas ang boses ko. "Wait, honestly I don't understand all of this anymore. I think I'm going crazy." Akmang sasabunutan ko ulit ang sarili ko ng hawakan niya ako sa magkabilang kamay.

"W-what are you doing?" I'm starting to panic.

"Relax. Remember the tips on how to overcome fear? Kaya mo yan!"

"Get of me!"

"Not until you relax. Hold my hand." Sapilitan niyang pinagdaop ang palad namin pero nagpumiglas ako. "Aish! You're becoming bad girl again. Stop struggling Yllana Zoe!"

"Stop calling my whole name. We're not close." Sinabukan ko siyang itulak pero mas humigpit ang kapit niya sa kamay ko. It's getting hurt.

"I'm Hezekiel but you can call me Hell." napahinto ako sa pagpupumiglas. Ngumisi naman siya pero hindi pa rin niya ako binitawan. "You found my name amusing, right? Wag kang magsinungaling!"

"Hell?" tanong ko pa. Tumango siya ng mabilis. "No! That's a stupid name. Nakatira ka nga sa impyerno tapos impyerno parin ang pangalan mo? Ugh! Freak!" at tinulak ko siya ng malakas buti nalang nakawala ako.
