TWENTY-THREE: The Survivors
Unknown Person's Point of View
We are both running as fast as we could. Hindi ko magawang lumingon sa likod ko dahil masyadong na akong takot. I don't want to die. I'm not ready yet. They almost got us days ago and I won't let them do it again. Wala kaming destinasyon. Pero isang bagay lang ang nasa isip ko; we both need to stay alive. Our classmates could be here somewhere.
Sandali kaming tumigil sa tabi ng puno para habulin ang hininga namin. Mula sa aking puwesto, may natatanaw akong wall. Dead end? Shit.
"We should go there," he whispers.
I nod at him. I glance sideways, searching for any movements. Nang wala akong nakita, dahan-dahan kong tinawid ang distansya mula sa dingding. Sumunod siya. It's too tall to be visible in the darkness. Hindi ko alam kung hanggang saan iyon nagtatapos. Pero una kong napansin ang nakasulat doon.
We are still alive. Those strange men in cloak wouldn't probably understand this. Sundan niyo lang itong arrow. Keep on walking left. If you see this, come to us immediately.

Si Evangelyn ang unang pumasok sa isip ko. I know she's there. At hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan ang ginawa niya sa 'kin. And I won't forgive her for that. Not ever.
