Chapter 27: Rage

Crap.

Ba't ba kasi nakatalikod ako sakanya nung lumipat ako ng direksyon? Ba't ba kasi ang tanga ko? Kainis.

I am falling from a 100-foot glass ceiling and there's is nothing I can feel but freaking pain from my back where he punched me with super strength.

Nakatingala lang ako habang bumabagsak sa ere hanggang sa may isang bagay na unti-unting bumubulusok patungo sa akin habang nakalabas ang kamay niyang nakasara na nag-aapoy na dahil sa mainit na ilaw na ginagawa niya.

I am so dead.

Bago pa mag-sampung metro ang layo na pagitan namin, nag-concentrate ako ng mabuti at inilipat ang center of gravity ko sa kanan ko kaya agad akong bumulusok pakanan at tumama sa gilid ng glass dome.

Siguro mas mabuting dito ako tumama kaysa naman sa sa lupa ng may kasunod pang super strength enhanced flaming punch.

I know that I have broken ribs pero hindi ko naman maramdaman dahil medyo namamanhid na ang katawan ko. Kanina pa rin ako umuubo ng dugo na ngayon ay bumakas na sa mga damit ko.

"I thought that you have a chance of being better than your friend. But no. You're just like them. Weak."

"I thought that you have a brain. But no. You're just like your "friends". Stupid."

I may be on the verge of death but I am not lowering my pride for pathetic excuses. I rather die than give them the satisfaction of knowing that I am giving up. Hell no.

"Going sassy when you're about to die? Original." sarcastic naman na sabi niya.

"Stupid dialogue before killing? Original." I am not really sure if he's going to kill me but at least I am expecting the worst.

"Oh, you got nerves."

"And you got none."

"I am gonna rip you. Limb from limb from limb."

"Words will get you nowhere. You just talk the talk but don't walk the walk. How pathetic."

"Do you mind shutting up?"

"Not if you do. Plus, you're the one who really need to shut up because you're lowering the intelligence of the entire room."

And then the volcano erupted with curses and words with brutality that will never happen.

Blah blah blah, you son of a bitch.

"See? You really need to shut up." sabi ko na lang at hindi na pinansin ang kanina ko pang pag-ubo ng dugo.

Nahihirapan na rin akong gumalaw dahil sa broken ribs ko and I think I broke my spine. Really. It hurts like fuck.

"Oh I am so going to kill you."

"Fuck!" daing ko nung sipain niya ng napakalakas ang left leg ko at hindi ko na kailangan pang siguraduhin kung nabali ba o hindi dahil nag-bend na ito sa dalawa.

Leche!

"See. You are the one who only talk the ta--" hindi niya na natapos pa ang sasabihin niya dahil pinalabas ko na ang inner puppeteer ko.

"I didn't talk the talk but I walked the walk. Creep."

I don't really love using this ability because I am controlling worthless people but this happens when I am in state of rage. And I don't like nor hate what happens.

"You break my back, now I'm gonna break yours."

Sinigurado ko munang may nararamdaman siya para naman magdusa siya. Hindi naman siguro pwedeng ako lang ang magdusa.

Sa kagustuhan ko, lumipad siya sa eksaktong lugar kung saan siya ako na-blind-side.

I know this is embarrassing, for him, but I still made him do it. I made him bend his own back like doing a really extreme stretching.

Hindi ko siya tinigilan hanggang sa alam ko ng may bali na ang likuran niya.

"You've broke my several ribs, now I'm gonna break some of yours."

Using his flight and super strength, I drove him midsection-first into glass ceiling of the dome and repeated it several times until I knew that I already broke some.

"And for the finale, you're gonna break your own leg for me."

I have dropped him from the highest point inside the glass dome until I stopped it halfway because I am not that brutal. 50 feet is enough.

Alam kong dumadaing na siya sa kaloob-looban niya pero hindi nila ito marinig dahil I am controlling him to keep his mouth shut because I meant what I said that he's lowering the intelligence of the entire room.

Naupo siya gaya ng gusto ko at inibabaw ang isang paa niya sa kabila at binali ito kagaya ng paraan sa pagbali sa kahoy gamit ang kamay.

I can here him cursing inside my mind because I am the only one who can here him with him being in the state of being a puppet.

Pero... Why can't I get the satisfaction of him suffering on his own hands?

Agad ko ng tinapos ang pagpapahirap sakanya dahil masasayang na ang oras ko. Kailangan ko rin ng pahinga at pumunta sa infirmary dahil sa mga sugat at injuries na nakuha ko.

I managed to make him taste his own medicine with me sitting in the ground clutching my broken leg. It should be an achievement but I feel otherwise.

Wala na siyang malay sa oras na tinanggal ko sa kanya ang strings, which mean the connection that makes him a puppet.

Nakatunganga lang ang mga manonood sa ginawa ko. Hindi ko naman talaga kasi pinapakita ang ability ko maging isang puppeteer. Nangyayari lang talaga ito sa sobrang galit, frustrations, at takot.

After I was declared a winner, na obvious naman since may malay pa ako, agad kaming pinakuha sa mga nakatambay na healers upang gamutin ang mga sugat na tinamo namin.

Damn. I don't really like getting healed. Not the fact that my physical state is gonna get better but the freaking process.

And why, of all the bones in my body, is my leg again which gets to be broken?

I may act like I have moved on from that incident but deep down, I'm not. I'm only pretending to be okay for my sister.

Well, I pretty much live to make my sister happy and protected. Nobody told me to do these things, but as a twin brother, I feel like I am obligated to do these things. Plus, it also brings the happiness in me.

Now, if you don't mind, I can't tolerate the pain any longer.
