Chapter 12: Please Stay

— Nolian City of Ohira 12.

"Congrats!" mabilis akong napatingin sa mga kaklase ko at kay Ma'am na pumasok sa cage. They are all smiling at me. Nang makalapit sila ng tuluyan ay niyakap nila ako ng mahigpit.

Ma'am hug me tightly. "You gave an another reward to our section. Congrats, Gwyn you really are a warrior." pagkatapos ay binigyan niya na naman ako ng isang yakap.

The next who will hug me is Tanlia but I move aside. Bigla siyang natigilan at gulat na napatingin sa akin. Galit pa rin ako sa kanya, she did things without my permission.

"Gwyn?" nagtatakang tanong niya. Her arms are still wide open. Ang mga masasayang mukha ng classmates namin ay unti unting nawala at nanonood na sa amin.

"Did I give you a permission to registered my name in this fucking clash? Yeah, we're best friends Tanlia but this is not a joke! Malapit ko pang mapatay ang nakalaban ko kanina and it kills me! Alam mo namang ayoko ng mga ganito diba? Na-excite ako kanina pero dahil sa ability ko 'yon! I don't want to kill without a serious reason." madamdaming saad ko sa kanya.

"I- I thought, you will be happy. Akala ko miss mo na ang ganito. Diba noon naman sa poor nolian, sumasali ka sa mga patayan para makapera. Akala ko lang naman na gusto mo sumali kasi sayang saya ang mukha mo kanina. I- I'm sorry, I just... " she said stammering and shaking.

Everyone gasps when she finished saying those words. Kahit siya ay napa singhap sa pinagsasabi niya. That was my worst secret, dahil wala ng pagkain at mata trabahoan noon, I joined the underground fighting to received​ money. Nasa maayos akong pag iisip noon at wala na talaga akong choice. Nagawa ko rin 'yon para sa ina ko.

"And you think, clashing with these students make me feel complete? " I breath heavily, making myself calm. " You are my friend and you supposed to buried my secrets and life long time ago but you just revealed it. You disappoint me, Tanlia."

Mabilis akong humakbang paalis sa cage at marahas na pinahid ang luhang kumawala. Kinalimutan ko ang pamumuhay ko noon na hindi nagpatulog sa akin ng ilang taon. But my friend awakes it and make me remember. I felt worst again.

-

Before I can take another step, two guys with cloaks block my way. They are coldly looking at me.

"What?" I ask them. My sight became blurry, I almost forgot about my injury. Tumingin ako sa kamay ko at halos gusto kong magmura ng makitang kulay itim na ang mga kuko ko at manhid na rin ito.

"We are here to accommodate you to take your reward." saad ng isa sa kanila.

My head is spinning and those two become four to my sight. I lift my hand up like I was telling 'stop'. Agad akong napa kapit sa malapit na bagay sa akin ng magsimulang dumilim ang paningin ko at parang masusuka ako sa nararamdaman ko ngayon.

"Are you okay? Your hand is bleeding and -"

"Harold, take her to healer's room, the poison is slowly killing her inner parts. I'm telling the King."

Hindi ko na alam at maintindihan ang pinag-u usapan nila. May tao ring lumapit sa akin at inilalayan akong tumayo. My grip to whoever guide me became firm. I close my eyes and I felt a hot liquid from the side of my mouth ran down to my jaw.

"She's vomiting a black blood. Her going to die if you don't hurry up! Fuck this students."

"Gwyn! Gwyn! Wake up, I'm so sorry! Si Tanlia 'to! Stay with me please, oh God !"

"Bring her, hurry! Kapag hindi pa kayo aalis sa daanan talagang hindi ako mangingiming patayin kayong lahat! "

"Gwyn, putulin mo na lahat ng katawan ni Oclaire basta 'wag mo kaming iwan na mga kasama mong taga- Poor Nolians. We are strong."
