CHAPTER 54

AUTHOR

He's drifting away. Pakiramdam nya ay nasa ilalim sya ng tubig. His ears are static and he can't breathe. He can't think. He can't move.

Erick tried to open his eyes, but for some reason he can't. Hindi katulad noong nakaraan na puno ng memorya ang buong paligid nya, ngayon naman ay puno ito ng kadiliman.

Which he hates. He loathes the dark. Pakiramdam nya ay bumabalik sya sa kwarto na iyon. Ang kwarto na nagpabago sa buhay nya. Sa buhay nila.

"I'm sorry, Zaifful."

"It will hurt just a little, okay?"

"This is for your own good."

The voices of Amanda and Christopher Werldon as they inject him a drug that will make him lose his memories.

And they have the guts to adopt him.

Pilit pa din nyang hinahanap ang liwanag. Where's the light? I need to see the light. I can't stay here. Dark is bad. Dark is dangerous.

Finally, nakita nya ang liwanag mula sa malayo. He still tried to reach it kahit na parang sobrang layo nito. He run into it as fast as he could, arms outstretch.

He heard a voice. A very familiar voice.

"I'm sorry, Master. I'm really sorry."

Xein. Why is he saying sorry?

"I can't lose them. Ayokong bumagsak ang mga Gangsters."

Lose them? The Gangsters? What is he talking about?

"Please wake up, please. We need you, Master. The Gangsters need you. Kailangan ka namin na lumaban kasama namin."

Patuloy pa ding nagsasalita si Xein ngunit pakiramdam ni Erick ay mas lumalayo sya sa liwanag. Someone is pulling him back to the dark.

He tried to struggle. He needs to wake up now. He needs to help them.

The Gangsters.

"The Gangsters are planning a counterattack. We need you to attack from the inside. I just hope that you're awake. I just hope that you're listening now."

I'm listening. I'm right here! I'm awake!

Nakarinig sya ng mahinang tawa. "We're counting on you, Master. Hindi ko alam kung anong ginagawa ko ngayon at kung bakit ang laki ng tiwala ko na gising ka ngayon. But I just — I just know you. Hindi ka susuko. You never give up and we will too. I don't know but ... I ... I just know that y - you're awake. And I'm holding unto that." Ani pa nya.
