Last Mission

Pahina one

"Tagu-taguan maliwanag ang buwan. Pagbilang kong sampu nakatago na kayo. Isa, dalawa, tatlo.... sampu" naalala ko pa noon yung mga panahon na iisipin ko lamang kung saan ako magtatago para hindi mataya.

Kung maibabalik lang sana ang mga panahon na ako ay bata pa lamang. Yung mga panahon na aakyat lang ako sa puno. Kaso kailangan nating tumanda. Kailangan nating maging responsable. Hindi tayo magiging tao kung hindi tayo tumatanda at namamatay. Death can't be stopped by someone or something.

I'm afraid of death but if it would come I'll gladly accept it. Sa trabaho ko pa lang ngayon alam ko na darating ang panahon na mamatay ako. In every movement of my body, my life is in danger. I can't change the fact na sa sobrang daming misyon na napagtagumpayan ko, merong mga tao na nagnanais na makaganti.

This is my last mission. Ang misyon papunta sa ibang mundo. Mundo ng mga nilalang na hindi nalalaman ng karamihan.

"First Lieutenant, Zdenka Conti, Are you willing to accept your last mission as a First lieutenant and if you succeeded you will be the Colonel? Take it or leave it First lieutenant."

"I'll gladly accept it Colonel Seita."

I will do everything to be in that position. No matter how hard it is. I 'll surely take that. With an Aurora Diamante Fountain Pen I wrote my name and signature to the contract. I have the most expensive pen but I'm craving for the position not on the money. Actually as I've remembered this cost at exactly $1,470,600.

The mission I have will start tomorrow at exactly 8 am. I have known all about vampires but actually I'm not sure of what it looks like. They actually believe that on the backyard of our headquarters, behind the wall, there is the world of vampire. Dun sila nakatira sabi ng iba.

"Very well my daughter. I'm so proud of you." Yeah. You read it right. The colonel is my one and only mother. She trained me every single day since my 4th birthday. I passed as a junior officer at 7 y/o. I'm junior Lieautenant at 11 y/o. And now, I'm 17, First lieautenant and soon to be the colonel.

"Yeah. I will surely find my father and punish him."

"Well, goodluck. If you find the prince, you know what to do. "

"Yes mom."

"You will stay there for 1 year and more until you finished your mission."

I walked out from the room and go to the nearest cafe. I ordered Cáfe moccha and find some vaccant seat. Sanay na naman akong maghintay.

"Uh, hi miss? Can I join you?" Stranger it is. He looks like missing or something.

"Why me eh?" Totoo naman kasi. Sa dinami dami ng tao sa cafe na toh bakit ako pa right?

"As you can see. Lahat ng seat taken na so I asked you if I can join you because this is the only vaccant seat left." My god. Siya pa yung may ganang mang grin? Samantalang sya itong may kailangan. Tsk tao nga naman.

"Yeah yeah whatev." I drinked my moccha while turning my eyes 360 degrees.

"Thanks" Woah he actually says thanks eh? Marunong palang magpasalamat.

I finished my moccha and left instantly. I need to go to school. Even though I have my job, I also needs to study. They always call me as Einstein because my IQ is near to what Einstein has. Yeah I am THAT intelligent.

"Hey Einstein! Pwede pakopya?" Zeus says as I'm entering the room. Nakangisi pa ang hinayupak.

"Hey gangster! Hindi ko alam na nagaaral ka pa pala? Akala ko kasi puro basag ulo nalang ang alam mo." Marunong naman akong magtagalog. Most of the time nga lang gusto ko ng English.

"Whatever Zdenka."

"Oh my god. Did I cross the line?" I said acting like an innocent bitch.

"Ms. Conti and Mr. Valier. If you two wont stop, I'll call your parents right away." Like I care. My mom will go but it's actually nothing to her. She's a good mom and she knows what I'm doing every little second.

The lessons goes on until it's actually the happiest time in school. Uwian.

Naglalakad ako sa iskinita papunta sa head quarters ng biglang may humawak sa kamay ko. I hold his hand then twist it. Making him yell.

"AW! That's it. I quit making fun of you." Daniel the prank master. He pranks me sometimes but always get himself on a accident. He's at fault. Hindi niya ko tinitigilan e.

"Alam mo Daniel? Para kang yung pinaka mahabang english word."

"Bakit naman?"

"Hindi natatapos yang kakulitan mo. Jusko ang tanda tanda mo na pero isip bata ka pa rin"

"Tss. Mind your own business. But mind telling me what is the longest english word?"

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" yeah I know that this isn't the longest word but this is what I know.

"Woah woah woah. Ikaw na talaga Einstein."

Di ko na sya pinansin. I walked inside the headquarters. I found my mom sitting on the sofa. She's the queen eh? She's actually looks like a 20+ or something even though she's actually 32 y/o. Napakabata pa niya nug pinanganak ako. She's only 15 that time.

Tomorrow is my birthday. But tomorrow us the day when I'll enter hell. Yeah I actually called that world a living hell.

"First lieautenant what brings you here?" My mom, no slash that. The colonel asked me.

"My feet ofcourse colonel." Well, i kindah miss hanging out with my mom.

"Yeah yeah quit joking my dear." She's grinning like she knows what I'm up to or somethin'.

"Well I kindah miss hanging out with the colonel. May I have the permission ma'am?"

"Well, if you say so."

We go to the nearest mall. This is her hobby. She loves windowshopping. Well it kindah make her like a teenager she said. That's her reasons. We hang out like every day.
We go home late as usual. We laugh and laugh like I'll never leave her. Well sadly, I will leave her officially tomorrow. I'll leave my mom.

"Goodnight sweetheart. Mom loves you. Sweetdreams." She said sweetly then kiss me on my nose. She's the sweetest mom ever.

"Yeah. Goodnight mom." I said then closed my eyes. I only see darkness. Tomorrow will be a harmful day.
