Death Grip (On-going)

DEATH GRIP: CHAPTER SEVEN

"Bakit? May alam ka ba sa mga Wilson, hija?"

Napabaling ang tingin ko sa dalawang matanda. I instantly shook my head kasi wala naman talaga. Napapatangong nilingon naman ni Ma'am Badufalsa sina Leanne.

"Ihanda nyo ang inyong mga sarili. We will going back to our school with Alfina."

"M-maiiwan po ako dito?" Natatarantang tanong ko. They all looked at me with their different expressions. I felt my head bowed down.

Did I sound ignorant? Ewan, it's just that I feel like going with them. I felt the excitement through my nerves when I heard about gripconto, about the classes there, about them. I want to see magic with my own eyes..

To divert their attention at me, I think of a question and asked them.

"U-uhm, b-bakit po ba kailangan nandun kayo? I-i mean, related po ba ang mga Wilson sainyo?"

"We're part of the Class P. All the three of us." Lance quickly answered me.

I blinked. C-class P sila?

"Yes, they are. And I think it is wonderful if you're going with us."

My heart dropped as I heard what Ma'am Alfina suggested. Nanigas ako sa kinatatayuan ko. Argh, bat ganto yung feeling!?! Kinakabahan ako na naeexcite na ewan!!

"Are you kidding, Alfina?" Ma'am Badufalsa interjected, narrowing her eyes at Ma'am Alfina.

Teka lang, isasama nila ko? Teka teka parang napanood ko na to eh!! Kapag sinama nila ko, madaming magiging sagabal like monsters, disasters, weird things mga ganon!! Tapos makikipaglaban kami sa mga yon. Amp, baka mamatay pa ko..

Pero gusto ko pa din sumama!!! Malay mo diba, may maging ambag sa buhay ko pag pumunta ko sa school nila.

I mentally slap my face. My god Stacey, ano bang pinagsasasabi mo dyan.. Tao ka, kaya dito ka lang! Wala kang powers, anong laban mo kung sakali ngang may panganib!? Duh, magisip ka nga!!

"What? We don't need to worry, Julia. Nandito sya sa headquarters nyo, and it is enchanted to get rid of naturans. And I suppose she's one of us. We can enrolled her th---"

"Hindi mo naiintindihan Alfina. It's too dangerous for her!"

I was shocked at Ma'am Badufalsa's reaction. She shouts to interrupt Ma'am Alfina, and it made us all to be stunned for a moment. I blinked incredulously when she dragged Ma'am Alfina's arms away from us.

Dangerous? For me? Bakit? Pano naging delikado sakin yung pagpunta dun?

"Leanne" mahinang pag tawag ko habang nagaayos silang tatlo.

Tiningnan ko sila with jealousy. I know I should not feel this way because after all, I know nothing about everything they are saying. Baka nga mapahamak nga talaga ako kung magpumilit pa kong sumama pero.. I just can't really help myself to avoid feeling jealous.

I am one of them, they keep on saying that, but how come I can't be given a chance to discover it with my own? Why can't I come with them? Bakit kailangan dumating pa sa point na delikado pala sakin? I mean, look at Leanne, Lance and Clarence. They are griptons, how come it isn't really looks dangerous to them while saken dangerous?

Parang ang gara lang.. Hays. Ganun ba ko kahina?

"Tell me something about your school.." Mahinang usal ko. I'm now currently sitting on a couch, head hanging down on my neck, playing my hands on my lap.

I really sound jealous.. Kainis.

"Stacey, listen to me, our school is like your school here. The only difference is that, we use our grip... Bakit ka ba nagkakaganyan?"

I heave a sigh and lift up my gaze at them. They all looked at me with sympathy on their faces. And I thanked them for that in my mind. At least I know that they don't want me to feel out of place.

"Gusto kong sumama doon. Gusto kong makita kung pano magkaroon ng gripconto. Gusto kong makita yung sinasabi nyong mundo na dapat kinabibilangan ko.." I explained.

"Master said it is dangerous for yo---"

"Yun na nga eh. Yun na nga.." I retorted at Lance. I saw him taken a back.

"Bakit delikado sakin, sainyo hindi? Bakit delikado sakin, eh magkakasing edad lang naman tayo? Kasi nasa Class P kayo?" I asked stubbornly. They all look at me with their eyes full of pity, but then I continue.

"Alam ko namang wala pa kong grip.. Pero diba kayo na nagsabi sakin na kagaya nyo ko? Ano ba naman yung isama nyo ko sa school nyo diba? Malay mo pag dun na din ako nag-aral, dun ko malalaman yung grip ko."

"Tita Sandy, pasok na po ako." Pagpapaalam ko after kong kumain kasabay sila Jillian and Tita Sandy for breakfast. Tita Sandy give me a tight hug and continued eating while I pave my way through the door.

Once I stepped outside with a sigh, I walk slowly through the bus stop. It's been a week since the Death Grip moved out. Their headquarters in the midst of the forest still there as they offered it to me but I'm no longer going there. As much as possible, with all my might, I'm fighting my urge to go and visit there.

Stacey..

I stop on my spot as I heard a voice calling my name. Furrowing my eyebrows I turned my heels to see who it was, and saw nothing but an empty street. I remain unmoved for a moment to see if the solemn echoing voice will call out my name again. As I realized it will not voice out again, with a weird thought on my mind, I just continued to walk.

Tama na Stacey, okay? Enough with the Death grip and those shitty things they are saying. This is your real world, choose to live normally. They are all a product of your fantasizing. Walang death grip, walang gripton, walang gripconto, walang Class A and P, walang----

I shut my eyes tight as I remembered Leanne, Clarence and Lance. Namiss ko silang kasama, I admit that. After they moved out of here, hindi na sila nagpakita sa school including Ma'am Badufalsa. All of our teachers are not wondering why they are no longer going to school. Maybe because nakapagexplain na sakanila si Ma'am Badufalsa in a naturans way.

The bus arrived and stopped in front of me. Hurriedly making my way inside the bus, I find for a seat and take it. Settling myself beside the window, I heard a very loud screeching noise of a two metals being rubbed with each other rang through my ears giving me head ache in the process. I closed my eyes tight and groan silently with pain as I cover my ears with my both hands.

"Shit.."

The noise became louder than it is this time, making me curled up on my seat. Every move I make, my head's throbbing with pain and when I speak, the noise will get louder.

I tried to open my eyes to see that my vision is blurred. Although my head and ears hurt so bad, I still tried to brushed my eyes with my one hand. Akala ko magiging malinaw ulit ang paningin ko but for what reason it just became worst. My vision became so blurry as fuck!

Anong nangyayari!!?! I can no longer see things clearly!

Headache really consumed my whole system. My blurry vision's slowly becoming black making me think like nabubulag na ko. The screeching noise didn't stop and I lost my control and felt my body collapsed on my seat.
