Agenda 57

The Culprit

"Lawson!" sigaw ni Clio.

Mabilis nang tinutupok ng apoy ang lugar. Their only light is the fire that is quickly approaching.

The world slowed down as she watched Lawson's mouth spill blood and and clutch on his stomach that is quickly turning red. She couldn't stop her tears.

"Let's go, Lawson!"

"I... can't"

"Of course, you can!"

Beams consumed by fire started falling and the smoke is getting thicker making it hard for them to see and breathe.

Isa pang putok ng baril ang narinig nila.

"Run... Rinrin...you can still m-make it..."

"This is not the time to be an idiot! Please!"

Clio was about to close the gap more but a pillar of fire fell in between causing her to fall.

"Trust me, Rinrin, everything will be b-better... in the morning," he tried hard to smile at her.

"No, we still have to find Hunter! We can't do that if you're gone! Get your ass up and I'll go there!"

Garalgal na ang boses nito kakaiyak at sinusubukang lumapit pero lalo lang lumalakas ang apoy.

"Don't...cry. Rinrin never c-cries. Now run.

"I already said no! We're not leaving without you!"

"Run!"

Naabot na ng apoy ang dress n'ya. The smoke was getting on her lungs and is messing with her breathing and consciousness until the world went black.

Ni hindi naibalita ang pangyayari parang hindi ito nangyari at masamang panaginip lamang.

Merida is walking along the hallway para imeet ang pito sa cafeteria.

She can feel the stares of other students. Napapadalas ang pagsama n'ya sa pito. They were wondering how she managed to do that.

She must be Xign's flavor of the month.

Maybe she's their new plaything?

May ginawa siguro s'ya.

Diba Alcott s'ya? Baka tinutukan n'ya sila ng baril.

Maiintindihan ko pa kung si Martina, but her?  No way!

She tried hard to ignore those whispers. Xign already assured her that that's not the case. And that they are genuinely offering her their friendship.

They're all just jealous because she bacame friends with the seven.

From a nobody, she rose to the ranks of the pyramid. No one succeeded except her. No one can touch her now because of the fear from the seven, who everyone wants to please.

Nahulog n'ya panyo n'ya habang naglalakad. Akmang pupulutin n'ya na iyon pero may ibang kamay na pumulot. The man smiled at her.

"Thank you, Mr..."
