I saw two small hands extending in a slow motion manner. Those hands are holding a gun. I looked at the little girl who seems to be same as my age and she is holding the gun in between her hands.
I knew her. I've seen her somewhere.
Suddenly, I felt a hand landed on both sides of my shoulder and my body suddenly moved. The hands on my shoulders twisted my body, so now I am looking at the owner of the hands on my shoulders.
"Ate" I called out but just when I'm about to say something, my whole body jerked upward as I heard a loud, deafening sound of a bang.
I turned around to look for the source of the sound and there I saw my parents lying on the ground. A red liquid is coming out from their body, like draining them.
I was about to call out their name, shout the words mom and dad, and run to them, but my sister covered my mouth and hugged my body so I couldn't move.
Then we heard another loud bang sound and my eyes burst open.
I am staring at the cream-colored ceiling of my room, panting like a dog just chased me and I had to climb a tree. I can feel grains of sweat on my forehead and I can hear my heart beating loud and fast. I had to put my forearm on my face to calm myself down.
"It's okay. It's all right. It's just a dream" I chanted and repeated the chant as I felt my heart slowed its pace.
I swallowed.
"Siz, time to wake up" I heard the voice of my sister over our walkie-talkie and I heaved a sigh.
"I'm awake" I said as I removed my hand from my face and sat up. I wiped my forehead using the back of my palm and I slightly fixed my curly hair.
"Good. We have a lot of things to do" My sister said again as I am tying my hair into a bun. I had to roll my eyes.
"Yeah. Like killing the Rhees and the Songs" I said nonchalantly and removed my blanket from covering the bottom part of my body.
"Nah uh. Not yet lil' sis. We still need to liquidate the plan so you better take your ass off your bed and come down. Breakfast is already served" she said in a bossy tone and I had to groan.
She's always like this. Every morning, she would remind me of my mission. She would remind me why I need to wake up everyday and why I need to go to school. She would always say that I need to act good and be friends with the person I hate the most. She would always remind me the reason why I need to live: To kill Jennica Venice Rhee.
"Coming" I said and made my way to the bathroom.
I looked at my reflection on the mirror then I washed my face. All the memories that time flooded again in my head. I will never forget the face that killed my parents. I will never forget that scene. I will never forget the face of the people that turned me and my sister into a monster. I hate them all and I will take my revenge.
In the name of my parents, I swear, I will avenge them.
|Jennica's P.O.V|
I felt a finger poke the tip of my nose that's why my forehead curled up. It was followed by Impaks's voice.
"Wake up, beautiful" Impaks said and I instantly groan. I turned my back to him and pulled the blanket up to my face.
Narinig ko naman ang mahinang tawa nya pero hindi ko sya pinansin. Just when I'm about to fall asleep again, naramdaman ko ang daliri ni impaks na gumapang sa gilid ng bewang ko kaya naman ay napa-usog ako agad dahil nakikiliti ako!
