Chapter 39: Failed
"Master Wilhelm!"
HINDI KO mapigilang mapasigaw no'ng makita kong dumudugo ang kanyang tiyan. We were about to go to his direction when Herod fired us!
The bullet just passed by our side and it hit to the vase! Takot ako'ng tumingin kay Herod. So my hunch was really right that something's off with his personality! With his words! Ang hayop niya!
He fired us repeatedly but luckily, hindi niya kami natamaan dahil nakatago kami sa gilid ng malaki niyang kama. My mind was on Master Wilhelm who is lying bloody on the floor! Gusto ko siyang puntahan pero nag-aabang si Herod.
Click!
Suddenly, we heard a clicked sound. Paulit-ulit namin iyong narinig. We exchanged glances and we have the same thought in our mind.
Tumayo kami agad para makita ang ginagawa ni Herod. Paulit-ulit niyang pinindot-pindot ang button sa tungkod niya pero wala na itong balang lumalabas. Halatang nataranta siya. Agad kaming nagtanguan nina mama, papa at Josh.
But before we could run to his direction, naunahan niya kaming tumakbo papunta sa gilid. Taranta siyang may hinugot doon and a door came ito view! A secret door!
"Bilis!" naisigaw ko. Si Josh ang unang sumunod kay Herod na ngayon ay hindi na namin makikita. "Ma, pa, kayo na ang bahala kay Master Wilhelm. Kami na ni Josh ang bahala kay Herod."
"But—"
Hindi ko na pinakinggan ang sinabi nina Mama at papa. Agad akong tumakbo doon sa pintuan kung saan pumasok sina Herod at Josh. Isang hagdanan ang bumungad sa akin at agad ko iyong tinahak. Sa ibabaw, bumungad sa akin si Josh na nakikipaglaban sa tatlong committees! Herod must really prepared his escape!
"Josh!" naisigaw ko at tinulungan ko siyang makikipaglaban sa tatlong iyon.
After we finished fighting to the three committees, we proceed to the other door. Ehh? How many doors we need to pass? Malamang malayo na iyon si Herod!
"We should be hurry—" He halted when someone attacked the both of us when we get inside to another door but luckily, we mananged to avoid his attack.
"Yes... we should. But we also need to get rid of these people." sabi ko matapos kong makita ang napakaraming committees sa loob. They looked at us fiercely.
"Okay. Mag-ingat ka!" he said after he ran to the direction of the 5 committees. Sumunod naman agad ako sa kanya.
I shouted and groan in pain when someone hit my arm pero ininda ko lang iyon at pinagpatuloy ang pakikipaglaban.
"Are you okay, Bella?" Josh asked me matapos nagbulagtaan lahat ng kalaban namin kanina. Sweats are visible to his face. A portion of his long, black hair covered his eyes at agad niya naman iyong hinawi.
"Y-Yeah... malayo ito sa bituka." I responded at inilinga ko ang paningin sa loob ng silid. "Which door do you think Herod go?" I asked him.
There are two doors here and we don't have any idea kung saan pumasok si Herod.
"No choice pero kailangan nating isa-isahin. Let's go first on that door," sabi niya sabay turo sa kanang pintuan. "Let's go—"
"Wait..." I cut him off. "We better part our ways so that walang masasayang na oras. It's very time consuming kung pabalik-balik tayo if ever wala diyan si Herod."
"Pero paano kapag napahamak ka?" he asked in a low voice. Hinawakan niya ang balikat ko.
"I will make sure na hindi ako mapapahamak. Trust me. Doon ka sa kanang pintuan, ako sa kaliwa. Kailangan na nating kumilos."
