Bloody 16: Headmaster's Test

Roen Astrid.

"So how did you find out that Nora was the killer?" Fabio asked beside me. Ibinaba kami ni Velius sa tapat ng isang building at naglalakad kami ngayon patungo sa pinakataas kung nasaan ang headmaster's office.

"Fortunately, the morning sun was shining brightly at the hallway that day and she casted a shadow on the floor. Her ability was to be invisible but I think hindi niya iyon kayang gamitin ng maayos, that's why even if she did turn invisible, hindi pa rin nawala ang anino niya." I explained and he nodded. Nauna na akong maglakad at muntik pa akong pigilan ng isang guard kung di lang niya nakitang kasama ko si Fabio sa likod.

"And how did you know that I'm the police officer back at the police station?" He asked once again. Hindi ba siya nauubusan ng tanong? Mula kanina ay puro random questions ang tinatanong niya hanggang sa biglang nagiging seryoso na ito.

"It's because you are stupid and careless." I mocked him.

"Haha, funny." He sarcastically replied. Natawa nalang ako at pumasok sa elevator na maghahatid sa amin sa tuktok.

"Why? I'm telling the truth. The fact that you knew about the case in the palace was already suspicious. Bigla ka nalang sumabay sa amin ni Captain at doon palang alam ko na may binabalak ka. At isa pa, nagdisguise ka bilang isang police officer pero tinawag mo ako sa pangalan ko. No one in the police force knows me, stupid." Sinamaan niya ako ng tingin at nagkibit balikat na lamang ako.

"And I already knew that you are the culprit who pretended to be Velius. You picked the wrong person to imitate, you heard my plans that day underground. Am I right?" Inalala ko muli ang mga pangyayari noong araw na naghahanda na akong lumabas mula sa ilalim ng basement.

"Yeah right, I was supposed to imitate a royal guard named Robin. Noong araw na iyon ay night shift dapat siya kaya nagulat ako noong nakita ko siya sa loob ng palasyo. It would be troublesome if the helpers saw two 'Robins' at the same time so I changed my form into Velius. Nagulat nalang ako dahil hinatak ako ni Chief West pababa ng basement. I didn't intend to see you and hear your plans, love." Paliwanag niya sabay kindat.

"And?" I spoke with a hint of laziness.

"A shapeshifter needs time to observe the person he's copying. Alam ko na ang ugali at bawat galaw ni Robin. I didn't expect to see him inside the palace early in the morning. Si Velius ang lagi niyang kasama kaya siya nalang ang ginaya ko. I was not prepared at all." Kwento niya at tila inaalala ang mga pangyayari noong araw na iyon. I laughed at how he made hand gestures while talking. Napangisi siya at umakbay sa akin.

"Stupid. Hindi mo man lang inalam na manganganak ang asawa niya nung gabing yun. He asked Velius to change shifts with him. How come you didn't know that?" Lumingon ako sa kanya at napangisi ako dahil sa talim ng titig niya sa akin. I lifted my eyebrows as I looked at him innocently.

"You're so good in driving people mad." He scoffed in disbelief.

"Well, that's my specialty. I enjoy seeing reactions." I laughed evilly. I like being hated.

"Oh god, you are no worse than captain." Napailing na lamang siya at nauna ng lumabas sa pagtunog ng elevator. Obviously, we are at the top floor already.
