His Revenge

HR II - Chapter 15: Tension and Trouble

Red's POV

I was walking in a pathway lined with tall grasses. Madilim na sa paligid at walang tao maliban sa 'kin. The wind was blowing hard against me. I continued to walk even though the path appears to be endless.

And I suddenly heard a rustle behind me.

I turned around but saw no one.

"Who's there?" tawag ko naman.

No answer.

I listened to the low rumble of the wind and squinted through the distance. Nung nasiguro ko nang wala talaga tao ay naglakad na lang ulit ako.

But the path where I was walking suddenly became covered in blood. And, just a few meters ahead of me, stood Joshua and Sheena. Both bodies were burned and both were carrying a red rose.

They were staring at me murderously. Blood suddenly flowed from the roses that they were holding.

"K-Kill…" they whispered.

Napaatras ako sa gulat pero tumama ako sa kung sino. I turned around and lost my balance. Tumingala na lang ako sa taong nabangga ko.

And there I saw Kuya Grey. He was bleeding from head to toe. A red rose was hanging from his hand.

"R-Red…"

Umatras ako palayo sa kanya.

"N-No…"

"Red…"

"I'm doing this for you! I'm doing this to give you justice! I'm doing this for the two of us!" sigaw ko.

I suddenly fell to an empty grave. Tumingala ako at nakadungaw sa 'kin sina Mama at Papa, si Kuya Grey, si Sheena at si Joshua.

"Help me!"

Soil suddenly rained down on me.

I looked up and saw Kishou holding a shovel. He then threw another shovelful of soil on me.

"What are you doing?!" sigaw ko.

Sinubukan kong tumayo pero nakagapos na pala ako sa lupa. Wala na akong ibang nagawa kundi ang tumingala sa kanila.

But Kishou was no longer there. The shovel was now being held by a completely different person. He was smiling at me. Maya-maya pa ay isang rosas ang binato niya papunta sa 'kin. The face of the man was so familiar… He was horribly familiar…

"Rest in peace, Red…"

Napabalikwas ako ng bangon bigla.

Tears were flowing from my eyes and I was shaking uncontrollably. I breathed deep and tried to relax myself.

"It's just a bad dream…" bulong ko sa sarili ko.

Lumingon ako kay Kishou na kasalukuyang tulog na tulog sa tabi ko. I had to fight the urge to strangle him right now. He really enjoyed what we did last night. Malas lang niya at nahulog siya sa patibong ko kagabi.

I got up and got dressed. Bumaba na lang ako sa kusina.

"And it seems that you just had the most beautiful night last night," bungad sa 'kin ni Sei pagkababa ko sa kusina ng bahay. It was still early. Kakasikat pa lang din kasi ng araw.

"I am not happy with what you did," Sei said seriously.

I stared at him. "Why? Its all part of my plan. Alam mong mangyayari at mangyayari 'yun."
