Be a Saint or Be a Sinner (ON HOLD! UNDER REVISION)

YNA's POV

Napatingin ako sa kalangitan nang takpan ng madilim na ulap ang kaninang maliwanag na kalangitan. I closed my eyes as the cold wind kissed my skin, taking every lick of warmth it could get. My hair fell loose about my face, tousled, tangled.

It took me a moment, not too long, to open my eyes that I shouldn't have.

Bigla ay napunta ako sa isang pamilyar na lugar, sa isang kwarto, tanging ang lampara lamang ang naka-ilaw. Medyo madilim, ngunit kitang kita parin ang nag kalat na dugo sa sahig, sa kama, sa dingding. I tried walking but I can't move a muscle. It's as if I was paralysed, frozen at the spot.

Napakurap akong muli, umaasa na magising na ako sa masamang panaginip na kinaroroonan ko ngayon. But I didn't. Mas nadagdagan pa ang takot na nadarama, nanindig ang aking balahibo nang may masilayan akong pigura ng tao sa hindi kalayuan.

"W-w..."

I couldn't speak a word, my throat had gone dry like I haven't spoken for a very long time.

Pinasadahan ko ng tingin ang kaniyang kabuuan. It's a woman, nakatalikod ito sa akin. I had a hunch who she might be, pero isinantabi ko ito takot na maging tama ako sa akin hinala. But the moment she tilted her head sideways, nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa gulat. Right there at the moment, gusto ko nang tumakbo nang tila magka-ideya ako kung sino ito.

No.

I want to scream so loud, ask for help, pero walang kahit ni isang salita ang kumawala sa bibig ko. The worst part is, the only sound I could hear is the blood dripping from her hand that came all the way from the stab on her heart.

My breathing became ragged, I trembled in so much fear as the person moved in the area where she couldn't be seen, colluding with darkness out front.

"Alyanna..."

She called my name making me terrified than I already am. It sounded almost like a whisper, exactly just for my ears to hear. A sound so low, just a single word uttered, and yet it sends a thousand volts to my body.

"Why Alyanna?"

Tears streamed down my cheeks as she slowly appeared right in front of me, her face just an inch away from mine. Hindi na ako makagalaw, nanikip bigla ang dibdib ko.

No...

"You're a murderer."

I'm sorry...

"I... I... " Tinipon ko ang buong lakas ko at sinubukan kong mag salita upang magpaliwanag, humingi ng tawad, but I myself could hardly hear my voice.

"You're a murderer."

"N-no... I d-didn't mean to... "

Nanlumo ako sa sobrang pagka-guilty. I wasn't able to asked for her forgiveness as she slowly vanished in front of me. Umatras ito na tila may humihila sa kaniya at napunta muli ito sa may parteng madilim. Naiwan ako sa bilog kung nasaan  naroon lamang ang liwanag.

I blinked once.

There was no sign of her, no sound.

I blinked twice.

Still wala.

And for the third time, the moment I blinked again--

"MURDERER!"

I opened my eyes as the bell rang indicating it's lunch break. Umupo ako ng maayos at napatingin sa paligid. Some of the students were leaving and our teacher was already at the door.
