Faust's Pov


"You should eat." Sabi ko kay Carrie nang hindi parin niya ginagalaw ang pagkain niya.

She just glared at me and looked away.

"Ano ba talagang plano mo saakin?" tanong niya.

I didn't answer. Hell. I don't even have an answer. I really don't know why I'm doing this.

"Going to keep me here forever like your pet?" she let out a burst of air in disgust. "I'd rather die than eat the food you prepare."

"Then it's your choice." Sabi ko at aalis na sana nang magsalita ulit siya.

"Bakit ka ba nakamaskara. Ang pangit ba ng mukha mo?"

I didn't answer. I knew she was goading me. But it wouldn't work.

"Yun nga siguro." She scoffed

"That's not the reason Miss Mitchelle. If you saw my face I'm afraid I have to kill you." sagot ko at lumabas na.

The more I see her. The more I hear her talk. The angrier she is. It's sparking something very unfamiliar within me.

Nang lumubog na ang araw ay binalikan ko siya. Hindi arin niya ginalaw ang pagkain niya. I looked at her sleeping form at halatang hirap siyang matulog nang nakaposas ang isang kamay.

Parang hindi ako komportable na makita siyang ganun. I frowned.

Lumabas ako para kunin yung susi sa drawer at bumalik para tanggalin na yung posas. Nagising siya at agad na napaatras.

"W-What are you-" napatingin siya sa kamay niya. "Why did you-"

I didn't utter a word and stepped back. I stared for a moment at her shocked expression and when it became a scowl I knew it was time to leave.

"Eat." Sabi ko lumabas locking the door behind me.

When I came back the next morning and found the tray of food empty. Somehow it made me smile a little. It felt unnatural.

"Why are you doing this?" bigla niyang tanong. I can hear the curiosity in her voice.

"If you ask me, I really don't know Miss Mitchelle." I said and left with the tray. Nagulat nga ako na hindi niya tinangkang i-ambush ako papasok ng kwarto. If it were me I would have done that.
