We are better than this...(Amephil book 2)

the outsiders

(12 years old)Malaysia pov:

I jolt up in surprised when Philip yelled at us, I felt my head pound by the sudden headache I get "w-what is i-it?" I said fastly still startled I heard indo groaned holding his head sitting up slowly "uhh...w-what?" he groggily said confused looking around but finally looked at Philip, I looked as well.

Philip was standing there looking at the rift were close by, his eyes widen and he seems panicked he was holding his chest like he's trying not to get a heart attack his hand slowly rise up pointing down at the beach, I and indo stood up looking at what Philip was looking.

when we finally saw what his pointing at, indo gasp and I felt my heart quicken I heard Philip whispered "outsiders..." there were big boats landing to shore and we saw a flag...

"it's them..," Philip said venomously, Philip grabbed me and indo at the arm running back to the village as fast as he can "hat-what are they?," I said catching up to speed with Philip but Philip didn't say anything just focusing on getting to his house.

we saw a gap in the forest making us see the village "were almost there..." Philip hitched we heard a familiar voice shouting.

"PUTANGINA BILISAN NIYO! " (HURRY THE FUCK UP!)

we're finally at the village hearing Katipunan Philips dad shouting orders "Philip!" we heard del pilar shouted at us we ran towards them who is close to there house  "where have you've been!?" he said sternly but stress "forget it!" we heard martial holding a Utak... I think?

"get in the house now!" he ordered us del open the door but before we went inside we heard a faint 'fire' outside, we felt scared but Philip was fumbling in the bamboo cabinets getting something.

"Philip, who are they?" indo said sounding desperate for an answer I felt my heart quicken when I heard a low bang outside "PHI-" indo was cut off when Philip finally talk. 

" a long time ago there were these men in boats trying to befriend my ancestors" he breathed.

"but of course my ancestors don't trust them," he said closing the bamboo cabinet quickly holding what martial was holding earlier.

"so it ended in the war between my ancestors and them but my ancestors became victories by killing their leader." he sighs.

"I guess they're back so they can get revenge or...claim this land as there own" he gave us the utak "but who are...they?" I said quitly he looked at me in a serious manner.

"Spaniards," he said lowly.

we heard a banging outside the door, before I can react Philip grabbed me and indo fastly at the arm and open the back door quickly he looks stress and to occupied on what he's doing, were running down the green hill seeing a boat that is floating close the ocean that can fit us we ran towards it.

we went inside the brown wooden boat but Philip didn't, I looked at him confused "Philip... aren't you coming?" I asked him he snap out of reality looking at us I saw a sad smile spreading on his face... 

"I'm sorry but... I can't..."

 indo looked at him angrily.

"what do you mean you can't?!? we can wait for your people if this is done you can find refuge in our countries" indo sounds angry at first but in the end, he sounds desperate like he wants to do something "please..." indo whispered begging at him holding Philips hand gently.

Philip shook his head softly looking at us tearfully "I can't leave them...besides" he said trying to sound positive "if this is happening on my country then warn the others so you can guys be ready" he smiled at us.

"Philip but-" I was cut off when we heard shouting in a different language we never heard of...

"there's no time" Philip whispered scared but worriedly at the same time he pushed the boat we were sitting, indo was trying to stand up but Philip stopped him "don't. indo just for once listen to me," he said begging at him. 

"but we can't just leave you here," indo said back at him.

Philip push the boat to the ocean "don't worry it won't be long" he said smirking at us "if my ancestors won then maybe we will as well" he said, we were floating getting further away from land and from Philip " everything will be fine just go home..." he said smiling softly at us one more time...

we grabbed the paddle so we can control the boat easier I look back at Philip seeing him running back to the village but the most thing that made me feel hurt is...

Philip is crying...

I looked at indo who is holding the paddle but he looks like he was holding back a sob... 

I hugged him trying to comfort him, I felt like crying...

"his going to be okay indo all we can do now is..." I trailed off feeling my voice cracking

"be ready for him..."
