Chapter 56

Fear's Point of View:

Bago makasulong sina Jed at ang mga kasama niya, lumapit kami ni Faith sa kanila. We suggested to locate first the bomb and deactivate them. Mabuti nalang at na-recognize ako ni Jed kung kaya't nakinig siya sa'min ni Faith.

"We have to split."Jed said after we have located all the bomb.

"We have to move fast, man. Any minute, her parents will be here and it will be harder for us to save her."tugon ko sa kanya.

"Are you sure about the arrow?"anang lalaking kasama nito kay Faith.

Nginisian siya ni Faith.

"Are you sure about the bat?"

"I have some more."saad nito sabay pakita ng baril na nakapuslit sa bewang nito.

Faith flashed a grimace and took one arrow. After letting it go, a man standing from afar fell down.

"Go check if he's still alive. If he is, I'll let you pull the trigger straight to my head. But if he isn't, run."

"Faith, this is not the right time for this. We have to move!"sabi ko sa kanya.

Tiningnan niya ng masama ang lalaki at saka sumunod sa'kin. Naghiwa-hiwalay nga kami at ilang minuto lang, dinig na dinig na namin ang palitan ng putok ng baril. We went backdoor and since Jed's gang intentionally took the attention of the goons, there were only few left on our way. Hindi naman kami nahirapan ni Faith na makipaglaban sa mga ito.

"Shit. Tito and tita are already here!"I said when I accidentally glanced at the empty area of the place and saw their car. "We have to find Cher as fast as we can."

The abandoned building we're in has 10 storeys. Hagdanan lang ang ginamit namin ni Faith dahil sabi niya, may mga depekto na ang elevators at may mga trap roon. Nilibot namin lahat ng floors at tiningnan lahat ng mga silid na posibleng kinaroroonan ni Cher. Nasa eight floor na kami nang may maaninag kaming familiar na tindig ng lalaki.

"Dyll."tawag ni Faith ng walang pag-aalinlangan. That's part of her extraordinary capability. Mabilis na naa-identify niya ang mga tao, lugar at mga bagay-bagay.

"Faith?"

"The only one, cousin. We have to move fast. Kanina pa naparito ang mga magulang ni Cher. Mahihirapan na tayong iligtas si Cher."

"Okay ka lang Dyll? Wag ka nalang sumama sa'min. Kami na ang bahala. Hindi namin pababayaan si Cher."I said when I remembered he can't handle any more pressure after his last seizure.

"No. I have to see her. She's mad at me. Akala niya kasi, nakipagtulungan ako kay daddy. I didn't know I was set up. Sinadya nilang iparinig sa'kin na dudukutin nila si Cher kaya tumakas ako ng hospital. I didn't know someone was already in the car. I got Cher and the tear gas was already suffocating us both inside the car. I have to stop dad. I have to see her."desidong wika niya.

"Nilibot na namin lahat sa baba, wala siya."

"By now, nasa rooftop na sila. I saw her parents earlier."

Wala na kaming sinayang na oras. We ran towards the rooftop.

Zylanne Cher's Point of View:

The clamor of exchanging gunshots from outside is deafening my ears and is weakening my knees. The gunmen who are with the psychopath dragged me towards the rooftop of the building. I already felt scared because I remembered what this pycho is capable of doing. Kanina nga ng sumigaw ako habang kausap niya si mommy sa phone, pinaputukan niya ako ng baril. He hit the floor just a few distance from me but it scared me to death!

Ilang minuto na kaming nakatayo lang do'n. Lalong lumalakas ang putukan ng baril at mga sigawan.

"Michael! Let go of my daughter!"narinig kong sigaw ni mommy. Napalingon agad kami.

"Mom! Hindi po dapat kayo pumunta."

Mom was about to run towards me but dad held her hand.

"Ït's been a long time, Tim."sambit nitong nakangising-aso pa. "I missed you, brother."sarkastikong sabi nito.

"Kung ano man ang nangyari noon, kalimutan na natin 'yon Michael—"

"Kalimutan? You think it's that easy to forget, Tim? After everything that you took from me, you think I'll just let it all pass! Haha. I was the son but you were treated better. Hindi lang magulang ko inagaw mo, pati pa ang babaeng mahal ko—"

"For your sake, Michael, that was a very long time ago! At hindi ko inagaw sa'yo ang mga magulang mo. They loved you and they were proud of you as much as they were to me. Binabalot ka lang talaga ng inggit kung kaya't nasasabi mo 'yan."Dad replied.

I saw the psychopath clench his fist. He's mad. Bigla naman siyang nagpanic nang biglang natumba ang lalaking nakahawak sa'kin. Shit. I looked at the man who's on the floor now, drained with his own blood. Fck. He was hit by an arrow straight to his chest. Who would do that accurately? Hinila ako ni Michael at itinuon niya sa ulo ko ang baril.

"This is your biggest mistake, Tim! I told you not to tell the authorities!"galit na sigaw niya habang mas idiniin niya ang baril sa ulo ko. "Gordon, you call them and bring the chopper!"utos niya sa lalaking nasa tabi niya na nakatutok rin ang baril sa'kin. May mga kasamahan pa sila sa likuran ko na armado rin.

"I didn't call the police. Please, let her go. Let my daughter go. Kung galit ka sa'kin, ako ang pagbuntunan mo. Wag mong idamay ang anak ko!" dad pleaded.

"Michael, sasama ako saýo. Let my daughter go."mahinahon na sambit ni mommy.

Kahit medyo kalayuan, alam kong umiiyak si daddy. Ang tagal saka niya binitiwan ang mga kamay ni mom. Dahan-dahan na naglakad si mommy papalapit sa'min.

"Michael..."mom muttered and tapped his hand. "Let her go."she whispered and he followed.

"You can't leave me again, Cherry. You can't."anas niyang nakatutok parin ang baril sa'kin.

"Hindi na Michael. Hindi na ako aalis."umiiyak na saad ni mommy. "Anak, go... Go, baby."

"Mommy, no! You can't leave us again. You can't leave me again mom!"I cried out as I hugged her. "No mommy. Hindi ka pwedeng sumama sa kanya."

"Sige na Cher!"naggagalit-galitang utos niya. "Umalis ka na."

"Mom—"

"Go."utal niya sabay tulak sa'kin.

It was bright as the moonlight! Nakita ko ang mabilis na arrow na dumaan sa harap ko at sinundan ko 'yon. Tumama iyon sa balikat ng baliw.

"Mommy!"bumalik ako para hilahin siya pero hinila na siya ng mga goons.

"Anak, takbooooo!"

I looked straight to dad and promised not to look back and just kept on running. Hindi ko maaninag kung sino pero may mga nakahawak kay daddy, pinipigilan siyang lumapit sa'kin. No. They were dragging him out of the place.

"Cherrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"I heard mom screamed and I looked back.

I saw Michael creeping but pointing the gun at me. I was stunned. My feet were nailed to where I stopped. What I heard next is the loud bang of a gun.

I felt very scared. My body's numb. I can't feel anything other than the fear that's drowning me.
