💠Chapter 35💠

Snow's POV

Tapos na akong kumain. We ate bread dahil sanay naman kami na light breakfast lang. Yung totoo, gusto ko ng maligo. Hindi naman ako nangangamoy pero yung sanay ka na naliligo twice a day, talagang ang pangit sa pakiramdam pero iisipin ko pa ba yun na nandito kami sa misyon? Remember hindi lang ako ang walang ligo dito kundi kaming lahat. Pero potek, si Yuan parang bagong paligo pa rin tingnan. Wala man lang ka-oily oily ang mukha nito.

Nagmumumog ako at busy ako sa paggagargle. Iluluwa ko na sana pero bigla na lang may nag hiss sa kung saan. Napahinto ako, kahit si Yuan din ay naging alerto. Iginala ko ang aking paningin at nanlaki ang aking mga mata ng papalapit ang isang sobrang laking serpent.

The serpent is color bluish gray. It has large thick scales with a head that looks likes a dragon! Pero alam mo na ahas. It feels like this is a prehistoric creature na nababasa ko sa libro mula sa earth!

Sobrang nakakatakot ang itsura nito na napagkakamalan ko na ngang dragon ang ulo nito.

Imbes na iluwa ko yung mumog ko ay napilitan akong lunukin yun. Ew! Yuck! Kadiri! Pero wala akong choice kaysa naman iluwa ko ito makikita naman kami nitong serpent. I crouched at si Yuan naman ay sumandal sa puno. We are towering over the serpent dahil nandito pa rin kami sa itaas ng puno. Kung malaki ang serpent, mas lalo na yung puno.

It was crawling and it stopped just right beneath the branch where we are standing. Napalunok naman kami. Sa lahat ng hihintuan nito ay dito pa talaga sa baba namin di ba?  Ano ba ang meron diyan sa baba?

I just heard like a tin can was being crush and the serpent released a small growl. How can even a snake growl? Snakes only hiss not growl! And that tin can, is that the can I dropped last night?

Napatingin ako kay Yuan and he did not even throw a glance at me. He was on heightened alert and he switched to crouching. I saw how his element slowly forming into wings on his back. The snake started to rise and coldness started to crawl under my skin. Parang binabayo na ang puso ko sa sobrang kaba, I can already sense the overlapping presence at pakiramdam ko ay alam na rin nito na nandito kami.

One moment, the head and the eyes levelled in my line of my vision and now the gigantic serpent's face is facing towards us. His yellow eyes is deadly and seems we were imprinting on its eyes. He opened his mouth widely and released a shrieking sound.

"Run!" Biglang sigaw ni Yuan. At agad akong kumilos. I sprinted and Yuan as well, but he is half flying. We sprinted the fastest speed we can make at hindi maalis-alis sa akin ang kaba.

I looked behind and to my horror, the snake is running and catching up. It was in hunting mode and seems like he found his prey and he needs to devour it no matter what.

"Shit." Yuan cursed.

Ingat na ingat kami para hindi kami makita ng mga serpent but now, in a very early morning time, nakita kaagad kami nito and worst hinahabol pa kami. God, ayoko pang mamatay!

"What are we going to do? Its chasing us!" Nahihindik na saad ko.

"Damn!" He cursed again. Tumingin ito sa akin. "We need to split up. Give me the GPS tracker." Saad nito and he extend his arms towards me.

GPS tracker? Kukunin niya? Edi ako naman ang maliligaw! "No! I'll be lost if I will give it to you." Tangi ko naman. Ayoko pang maligaw diyos ko.

"I need it. We need to split so the serpent will stop chasing one of us. After I get rid of the snake, I'll come get you." Saad nito na may determinasyon sa mga mata nito.

"Do you promise?" My voice almost cracked. Gusto ko ng maikyak sa totoo lang. Thinking that I will run away from him makes me scared more.

"I promise." Saad nito.
