CHAPTER 39

Section 32.2

"I was at fault all along"

-

After the draining extraction of the sore muscle inside Aisha's back, we went outside to check on the explosion.

We were all stupefied. There was blood all over the place.

"a-anong nangyari dito?" tanong ni Aisha.

I saw the beast's body on the ground and Lia and the other's body are yet to be found. 

"Where did everyone go?"

A flesh filled and covered with stinky blood moved out of the blue. 

"Stand by!" Aisha commanded the others behind her.

Dahan-dahang naglakad si Aisha papalapit sa katawan ng hayop na duguan na naroroon sa labas ng gate. 

Inalalayan ko siya papunta sa labas habang ang iba'y naka-bantay sa pintuan ng mansyon.

Aisha's eyes gleamed as she began to become more cautious of the situation. 

Since I cannot do anything at that time. I'm the only one in the mansion who cannot fully control my peculiarity.

"Buhay pa ba ito?" tanong ko.

"Hindi dapat tayo makapante. Lahat ay gagawin ko para ma-protektahan ang mga taong nasa loob ng mansyon." wika ni Aisha.

Muli nanamang gumalaw ang katawan ng hayop na may mga bahid ng dugo sa katawan.

Aisha was about to use her peculiarity but then out of nowhere the brightness from her eyes vanished. 

"Nanalo kami!!!" bulyaw ni Lia na puno ng dugo ang katawan. Lumabas siya sa mismong tiyan ng hayop na kaniyang pinatay. 

"What happened?" Aisha asked.

"What's the explosion about earlier?"

A snake's head that's separated from its body suddenly appeared from nowhere and slithered its way towards the both of us. Eugene with his peculiarity murmured something and made its head explode.

"Lia got excited and ended up killing everything," he answered.

"Where's the others?" Aisha asked.

"Nothing to worry about, we're fine," Marcus replied.

Anthony and Usher who are also covered in blood like the others appeared from the trees. Every beast was destroyed or burned to death. 

"andiyan pala kayo." wika ni Lia na balot ng dugo habang kumakaway sa amin.

Agad naming naamoy ang maalinsangang amoy ng dugo na nanggagaling sa apat na tinapos ang mga nilalang.

"How are you?" Marcus asked Aisha.

"I'm alright."

"Nevermind me, are you sure that every beast has been eradicated?" she asked. She cannot of course risk the life of everyone in the mansion. 

I know what it feels like to carry a huge burden and try to meet the expectation of the people around you. I thought Aisha was a perfect person, I guess she's also struggling like everyone else.

I shouldn't have judge her when I first came here. I feel stupid labeling people based on how they interact with me. How superficial.

"Nothing to worry about that. As you can see, Lia here is enjoying herself in a blood bath." Eugene answered Aisha's question. He was referring to his sister, Lia who is smiling creepily while she's covered in fresh blood.
