Chapter 6 • 1: Introducing Morgana
I was running in this dark forest with no end and heavily gasping for air.
"Saan na naman ba ako?" tanong ko saking sarili.
Hinihingal man pero nagawa kong makapagsalita ng maayos. I was just passed out. Right? I recall the last detail of my memory and I knew I was running with bunches of unknown and went to a "whirlpool" like and then that's it!
But how the hell did I get here? I was literally running non-stop for no reason.
I suddenly halted when I heard noises from the background. Luminga linga ako sa aking paligid pero tanging nakikita ko lang ay kadiliman ng gubat na ito at ang liwanag ng buwan na nagsisilbing ilaw.
I can feel their presence. There are many of them surrounding me. I should be scared and feel goosebumps at this moment right? but why do I feel the alternative?
I look at my wrist when I feel the sudden numbness of it. I look at it with confusion when there's nothing in it except for my black watch and bracelet. I turn my gaze when I heard scratches behind the trees.
Kahit madilim pilit kong ina-aninag ang paligid. Ngunit nang lumingon ako ulit sa ibang direksyon tila ba ngayon lang ako nakaramdam ng takot. Nahihirapan akong huminga. May dalawang pares na pulang mata ang nakatingin sakin sa kadiliman. Tila ba pinapalapit ako papunta sa kanya pero pilit akong umaatras.
Madami sila pero bakit ang isang to ang malinaw sa dilim.
"Sino k-ka..?" tanong ko sa di ko malamang nilalang na ngayon ay wala paring kibo at kurap.I can surely tell that those are freaking bloody eyes and not just a pair of lights 'cause fuck this! There's nothing you can see here except for those tall dark trees everywhere.
Ngayon lng ako natakot nang ganito ni hindi ko nga alam kong kailan ako huling natakot. Matatakot ba ako? Panaginip ba ito?
Umatras ako ng umatras papalayo sa nilalang na nakatingin lng sakin nang biglang may malakas na ingay ang pumukaw saking atensyon."ENKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!"
I jolted awake as I heard an ear-deafening sound coming from nowhere.
"W-what the hell?!" inis kong sabi.
I deeply hated it pag ginigising ako ng marahas.
Hinahabol ko ang aking hininga simula ng magising ako. Nang makalma ang sarili ay tinignan ko ang paligid pero wala akong makita. Madilim. Napag alaman kong naka piring pala ang aking mga mata. Naka upo at may tali sa likod ang aking mga kamay.As I was trying to comprehend the situation I realized that the numbness I feel in my hand while I was dreaming was maybe from those tight ropes.
"Where am I?" I ask in my thoughts being frustrated.
Ok. Paulit-ulit na yata ang mga nangyayari at nasasabi ko buong araw ah.
The last thing I knew I was with those cloak men's. Maybe those unknown jerks tight me up in this place and damn!
I know it's so stupid of me to come with those full strangers. But well I choose the latter instead, rather than being caught up by those weird creatures- whose trying to kill me or something, now this is what I got.
Reasons self. Reasons.
Lumilinga linga ako sa paligid kahit nakapiring ang mata. Wala akong nadidinig, obviously na wala ako sa labas kundi sa isang kwarto. I heard a buzz earlier, those deafening sound who cause for my sudden awaken.
