Her Powerful Eyes

chapter 9

Her Real Identity
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

I'm here at the principal's office ng McAdam with the asungots. Kakausapin ako ng principal tungkol sa kumakalat na balita.

"Principal Albert, can you tell me who is behind this fake news?" I asked. Lagot talaga sakin kung sino man ang nagkalat nito.

"Wendy Ramos, come inside." He said at nagulat kaming apat sa pumasok. The girl with the heavy glasses. Tss.

"So Wendy pala ang pangalan niya. I'll find informations about her later." Bulong ni Maxen. Techno freak.

"Why did you invent this?" I asked her directly but she just smirked at me. Ibang iba siya doon sa nakabangga ko.

"Invent? That's true! You threatened Hermes kaya posible na ikaw ang pumatay sa kanya!" Sigaw niya. Not a good liar.

"You said posible. Ibigsabihin hindi mo talaga alam ang totoo. That's it. You have to improve your lying skills." I crossed my arms and looked at her eyes.

Biglang bumukas ang pinto ng office at niluwa nito ang dalawang police officer na incharge sa kaso ni Hermes. "Sir, wala po ang fingerprint ni Empress sa katawan ng patay. She's innocent."

I looked at Wendy that is currently glaring at the police officer.

"I'll kill you later."

Napatingin ako sa mga sungot. "What did you say?"

Naguguluhang tumingin sakin si Draven. "Hindi nga kami nagsasalita." Binaling ko ulit ang tingin kay Wendy na masama parin ang tingin.

"I'll kill you later"

"I'll kill you later"

"I'll kill you later"

What the hell? Siya ba iyong nagsasalita? Bakit hindi bumubuka ang bibig niya?

"Sorry for the inconvenience, Empress. You can go back to your class now. And you Wendy, go to the guidance's office." Pagkasabi ni Principal Albert non, umalis na kami doon.

Habang naglalakad, tinanong ko ang mga asungot. "Umamin nga kayo. Isa sa inyo yung nagsasalita kanina no?"

"What? No. Tahimik lang kami kanina." Maxen said.

"That voice does not belong to us. It belongs to Wendy. She's talking in her mind. Naririnig ko rin iyon kanina." Clark said.

Kumunot ang noo ko. "What? Edi posible na siya ang pumatay kay Hermes?"

"That's posible. Kita mo naman kung gaano kasama ang tingin niya sa pulis kanina." Draven said.

"We should follow her." Napatingin silang tatlo sakin. "We'll gather some information about her at kapag nalaman natin na papatayin niya nga iyong pulis kanina, it means siya ang may gawa ng kay Hermes."

We didn't attend class today para mahuli itong si Wendy. Tuwing naaalala ko yung nangyari kanina kumukulo ang dugo ko. Bwisit na yan.

I'm here at the library with Clark kung saan laging namamalagi si Wendy. We're sitting 4 tables from her. Enough distance to scout at her.

Si Maxen at Draven naman ay naghahanap ng information about her. Nandoon sila ngayon sa computer lab, nang-iistorbo sa klase.

"She's leaving. Tara." Sabi ni Clark kaya tumayo kami at sinundan si Wendy palabas ng library. Mabilis ang lakad niya. I think she knew that we're following her.
