[Book 4] Mysteries of Jansport High School: Batch of 20 Lost Memories || WILL BE EDITED

Chapter 8

*Daniel's sub-POV*

"First, we need to change Hertz back. Mas madaling mawala ang yelo kaysa sa bato..." sabi ni Nixon. Nang may lumipad na something close our eyes. Papel na tumalsik sa ice statue. Biglang natunaw ang yelo pero nalabas na si Hertz. "BRRRRRRRRR! Okay, that was the second time I got hit by something cold," chilly voiced response ni Hertz. Pumatak yung papel. Actually, baraha siya. King of diamonds.

"Card magic ah," I said. Nixon took the card sabay quiet. Hmm. "Wait, if nagiging yelo ang kahit sinong humawak dyan, does that mean..." sabi ni Doanne sabay burst ng apoy sa kamay sabay hawak sa statue. "Uuuuuuuuuuuuggggghhhhhhh..." she was resisting the effect. Natunaw ang statue bringing back Sam into reality. "Kuya!" sabay hagulgol ni Hertz at yakap sa kapatid. Speechless si Sam at niyakap na rin ang kapatid.

"Yung totoo, second wave na ito, seriously?" I whispered to Nixon. Napatawa ito. And everything went normal throughout the day.

*Hertz' sub-POV*

Dismissal. Pauwi na kami ni Kuya Sam as he fetched him. We rode into his car and began driving. Along the road, he asked me, "Yow lil bro, hehe, sorry kung pinakaba kita kanina, huh?" Napangiti na lang akong sumagot, "Eh, kapatid naman kasi kita. You're somebody to me." Kuya Sam smiled. Biglang pihit sa acceleration. Medyo matulin na nagmaneho ang kuya?! SHET, SEATBELT.

"You trust me, Hertz, right?" he asked me. I said yes. Biglang lumamig ang atmosphere sa kotse. "Uh kuya, sobra naman sa aircon," I said with the chattering of teeth. Bigla siyang tumalon palabas ng kotse. WAIT WHAT?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Siguro 30 minutes later. "ARAY!" I yelled the moment I got up. Ansakit ng mga bones ko. Nag-crash pala ang kotse ko. Pagbaba ko ay nakatayo... si Kuya... sa gitna ng daan?! He was walking towards me. With two shadows down on his feet. TWO SHADOWS?!

"That's it, ponder about what you're seeing. Because I'll make sure this is the last time you'll see everything," Sam said. Kuya?! Seriously, you're on the bad side now?! Nang may isa pang lumabas sa likuran ni Kuya. Wait. "Remember me?" a voice of the devil said. Ohshit. Nexus! "Now, now, don't think I'm being controlled by Nexus. It was my choice, anyway." my brother said.

"What? Why?" I responded with shock. Sam replied, "It's basically just about continuing life... and I myself didn't expect you'd continue your life acting like the good guy." Nahihibang na si Kuya sabay sagot ako, "That's because we were born again with another reason." My brother's look became weirder. He stared at me saying, "It was never a 'we'. It was just 'you' acting like Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes, meanwhile... I was born again to finish what we started, stop Cody De Roxas!" Nang biglang nagka-snowstorm. Resisting the cold again. FOURTH TIME THIS WEEK...

I stood against my brother. Okay, I think I don't want to call him my brother. Just then. A bright light lightened up the location. And an angel came out of the sky. Biglang umulan ng playing cards. Ohhhh... She must be the one who freed Sam. Now I just wish my brother would become a statue once again. She flipped her hair and what a shock. "M-Mirage?!" reaction naming dalawa ni Kuya. She used to be a nun. Now she's an angel. A holy one, indeed.
