FRENZY: The Rising ✔

Chapter 11: Safe

Azie's POV

"Are you okay?! You're bleeding!" I heard Arius ask worriedly. I just nod at him while catching my breath.

"Yes!" I glanced at the guy beside me.

"You alright?" He just nodded and sigh heavily.

I bite my lower lip in frustration. That was a fucking close call!

"What the hell, Dearil?!" Sigaw ko habang naka silip sa direksyon ni Dearil. Muntik na kasi akong mahulog sa bus dahil sa ginawa nya.

I saw Kaliya still shooting.

"I'm sorry! Never saw that coming!" Napa irap na lang ako. Ngumiti lang ito at tumango saka ibinalik ang tingin sa daan.

Ipinagpatuloy ko na lang ang ginagawa hanggang sa dalawa na lang ang natira. Si Chelsea at ang nag mamaneho ng bus nila.

I'm with Chelsea at the rooftop helping her reach for Arius hands which she immediately grasp when suddenly the bus swerved for the second time making me almost lost my footing and bang both my arms and head. I saw one of the tire were gone and the back part of the bus were smoking.

"Dwarf/Azie!" Parehong sigaw nina Arius at Gifflet sa direksyon ko habang naka luhod at naka hawak sa steel bar.

Bloody hell!

"I-I'm fine.... I'm fine." I assured placing one of my hands on my head and hissed. Shit, this banging thingy will surely leave bruises all over my body.

"You're freaking bleeding again!" Sigaw naman ni Arius kaya inis na napa tingin ako dito.

Tangina yan, ilang untog pa ba ang kailangan kong danasin para lang makapagligtas ng tao?

"Shut up! I know!" I started untying the rope on my waist even though my left arm was throbbing and placed it on the edge of the steel bar.

"Keep a steady drive Dearil!" I shouted in annoyance.

"Hey Dwarf!" Arius called out.

"I'll be back. Stay on your place." Baling ko kay Arius saka tumalikod. Tumingin muna ako sa harapan namin kung may infected ba saka dahan dahan at maingat na bumaba sa steel stairs na naka kabit sa gilid ng bukana ng bus.

"Drake!" My eyes widen when a familiar face surprised me. It's Drake Walter, the president of student union.

"Hi! You're bleeding." He greeted nervously, throwing me a quick glance before setting his eyes straight ahead.

"Yeah." Beads of sweat are starting to form on Drake's forehead.

"Shit. We don't have brakes, do we?" Tumango tango ito habang ang mga mata ay nasa harap.

Darn this. Our bus doesn't have brakes and is on fire.

Agad akong pumunta sa likod ng bus saka nag hanap ng pwedeng gamiting pang apak pansamantala sa gas habang lilipat kami mamaya sa kabila.

Luckily, I found a crow bar. I dash towards the driver's seat coughing. I can hear Arius and others shouting outside as the smoke grew heavier. The bus running past the speed limit.
