Unknown POV

BOOM!

May narinig akong ear piercing na dahilan na magbukas ang aking mga mata. I was laying on the cold tiled floor with shattered pieces of the drawers' glasses everywhere. There's some faint ringing in my ears. 

I reached for the edge of the table to help stand up. Once I did, I looked around the room. It was a mess like a tornado went inside. Pati mga kasamahan ko nakahilata sa sahig. Wait? We're only six... someone's missing.

I approached one of my friends to help him stand up. 

   "Anong nangyari dito?" tanong niya, putting his right arm on my back. 

   "I have no idea." I replied.

Once of all of us were up we headed outside, searching for her. No clues or any signs left inside and outside the room.

We started calling her name out, we ran around the hallways, searching for her. But there was no answer of any kind. Everywhere around the school was a mess; windows were shattered, lockers are destroyed, benches are upside down and moved from their places. There were also some marks of bombs in the walls.

Nakarating kami sa mga pintuan ng school. I looked at everyone tsaka tinanong kung meron silang nakitang mga clues, kahit yung simple lang. They shrugged their shoulders as their answer. I ran my hand through my hair out of desperation. We can't lose her especially this time.

Nilagay ng aking kaibigan ang kanyang sa aking balikat. I looked up to him, nakaside smile siya, empathy on his face. 

   "Mahahanap natin siya." Aniya. 

I took a deep breath and nodded. Tumayo ako at lumipat sa aking mga kasama. 

   "Alam natin na isa sa atin ang nawawala. No clues left kung saan pumunta o kaya kung sino man ang kumuha sa kanya. Pero I know we'll find her." I said.

   "Saan tayo mag-iistart?" tanong na isa. 

   "Di ko pa alam. So let do a brainstorm."

*WACK!*

   "AAHHH!" I shouted as something cold and hard hit me in the face. Nakaharang ang buhok ko sa aking mukha, making it difficult for me na makita kung sino ang gumawa non.

   "Finally, you're awake. Looks like the drug I'd gave you was really strong." Said a person with a very deep voice. 

Tumingin ako sa paligid; pitch black at ang only source lang ng ilaw ay sa labas na dumadaan sa mga maliliit na butas. Nakaupo ako sa isang rough surface, hindi semento. Ginamit ko ang fingertips ko para mafeel ito ng mas mabuti. Kahoy.

The floors creaked as the person talking to me walks around the small room. Iniintindi ko ngayon kung nasaan ako at paano makakatakas sa mahigpit na pagkatali sa aking kamay at paa. Kailangan kong makahanap ng sharb object or something na may sharp edges.

   "I think you're thinking of you're escape plan already, aren't you deary?" tanong niya sabay tinagilid ang kanyang ulo. Tumitig lang ako sa kanyang mga mata. All I can see was pure evil in those eyes. 

   "Anyways, I have something that may remind you of something." May kinuha siya sa kanyang likod, pagkakuha ay binato sa akin.

My eyes widened and I gasped as I saw what the person threw to me. It was my I.D. That's why may feeling akong may kulang sa akin. May scratches na ito sa cover at yung lace, halos nagkahiwa-hiwalay na ang threads.

Teka, yung mga kaibigan ko! YUNG VIGENÉRE!

Tumingin ulit ako sa kanya, this time I clenched my jaw and gave a death glare. Ngumiti lang siya sa akin na parang bang nakikipaglaro lang.

   "Ano ginawa mo sa kanila?!" Galit kong tinanong.

   "Chill lang. Buhay pa sila..." Lumuhod siya sa harap ko at may binulong sa aking tenga. 

   "For now."

My blood boiled as those words came out from their mouth. Pinilit kong makawala sa pagkatali pero hindi maaari. Nagwawala na ako.

   "Ang sama mo!!! ROT IN HELL YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!!" Sigaw ko ng malakas.

Tumayo siya at tumawa lang. Nagcross siya ng arms at umiling sabay "Tsk, tsk, tsk." Nagbuntong hininga siya at may kinuha sa lamesa. Their footsteps became heavy as the person walked towards me. 

Suddenly, the person took me by the hair, causing to cuss in pain. "Shit." Sabi ko. I tried to stand pero natutumba ako. Hindi niya ako binitawan hanggang sa makalabas na kami. Napahiga ako sa semento, pinipilit na tiisin ang sakit.

   "Stand up." The person sternly commanded to me.

I push myself up so that I can see what are the objects that are lighting up the really dark room. Pagkaangat ng aking ulo, tumambad sa harap ko ang halos isang dozen na TV... at mga picture ng Vigenere. Sa isang TV, I can see the upper half of the school kasi yung baba hinaharangan ng mga puno.

   "What are you planning to do?" tanong ko.

   "You see this button?" Kinawaykaway niya sa harap ko yung button.

Kasing laki lang ito ng kamay niya. Kulay pula at marami ng gasgas. Maybe it was used a couple of times. Pero anong gagawin niya? It has an antenna and a small red light on the corner. The light is on meaning the receiving object is active. Pagpinindot ang button ang receiver ay gagana. 

BOMBA!!! Bobombahin niya ang school! 

    "Tagal naman. Siguro gag-"

    "Wait! N-no, please! Huwag mo itong gawin. Nagmamakaawa ako. H-have mercy on them." 

There are tears already forming in my eyes and ang boses ko, medyo nagcracrack na. Lumapit siya sa akin pero walang ginawa. 

     "Funny." Nagsmirk siya. "I heard those words before." Tumingin siya sa TV at sumunod ang ulo ko. 

     "Say goodbye to your pathetic friends, the Vigenere."

"NOOOO!!!"
