CHAPTER SIX: INSANE
"Found you" I screamed at the top of my lungs as the trashbin's seal opened. I was afraid that I might get seen and killed by those police and people who's trying to catch me lately. But then, I Immediately stopped from screaming when I recognized keen.
The one who opened the trashbin seal is none other than, Keen. The guy who has a doppelganger.
He smiled at me genuinely and lend his hand on me. And so I take it and he helped me out of the trashbin.
And as soon as I got out of trashbin, Ay halos malaglag ang panga ko nang mapansing wala na ako doon sa iskinita na pinaglikuan ko kanina habang tumatakbo, But rather than that, I'm at... A park?
"Seems like your curse is finally broken, Milady" He said and bowed to me a little kung kaya't nagunot ang noo ko at napataas ng kilay.
"Milady?" I asked.
"Oh, I am your family's servant." My eyes widened. Nanii? Isang Mejia? Servant!?
"Ah, teka lang keen ha. Di ko pa kase magets kung anong nangyayar—"
"You are now in a different world milady. Well, Humans often call this world as the lost city. And it's true that some of them managed to come here in our world but then they mostly choose to live in here rather than to their world." He explained.
"And here in our world, You can notice and see clearly all of the creatures that is shown and hidden on human world, for humans scope of understanding is much lower than us to the point that they may collapse when they see any one of us" He added.
"Wait, what do you mean by us?" I asked. bitch are you dumb? you're a vampire! You've just killed a man hours ago!
"Us. Immortals, Who then can live a thousand years and countless era. But, That's it, if no one craves for power in this land." He said and stare at me for seconds saka nagsalita ulit. "For all the years that had passed, This land and the heavenly creatures in here is ruled by us—My family. The Mejia's." My forehead knotted.
"Huh? Akala ko ba servant ka ng family namin? Ang gulo mo ha" Reklamo ko na syang nagpatawa sakan'ya.
"Well, It's just the consequences that I've earned from being so stubborn little lord when I was a kid and was given to me by my brother, Keen." Napakurap-kurap ako at akmang magsasalita na pero inunahan n'ya ako.
"Yes, I am not keen. He's my brother as I've said earlier. No no, Scratch that. He's my twin-brother. And we're actually Four." He said and smiled.
"My name is Ken, Milady" He said at yumukod sa harap ko at akmang hahalikan ang likod ng palad ko nung may biglang dumating at binatukan s'ya.
"Try to land your lips on her skin and I swear, I'll be the one to gather your ashes and I'm gonna mix it to concrete." Said by a man who looks just like ken. Maybe, This one is keen?
Nginitian ako nung bagong dating na lalaki saka inilahad ang kamay sa harap ko. "Hi, I'm Kin. We've met at the school's oval." My eyes widened. So magkakaiba yung nakilala ko?
"H-Hi. So who amongst the two of you met me at a restaurant?" I asked utterly.
"It's meeee!!" Napatalon ako sa gulat nung may biglang tumalon galing sa isang mataas na puno at lumanding dito sa harap ko.
"Hiiiii! My name is kean! And we've met at the restaurant, thanks to someone who's not good at keeping their stuffs up so I happened to read their messages." He said. This one's look cheerful and gay? Well, he really sounds gay amongst the two.
"I'm the one who set a blind date with your friend? Heart? isn't it? And when I arrived at the restaurant, Mukhang may nauna na pala sakin na makipagdate" Kin said and that mades my heart overwhelmed. I miss My bestfriend. Paniguradong mawiwindang 'yon pag nalamang Hindi pala doppelganger yung nakita namin kundi kakambal lang pala.
"You said that I'm going to see all the creatures that was shown and hidden on human's world right? Was there a ghost here? I was wondering if I can see Heart's soul here." I asked ken. Gladly I can recognize them differently because of their clothes.
"Yes there's also ghost in here. But I'm not sure if Heart is here tho. But well, We can try asking a reaper later if they happened to collect heart's soul." Ken said and smiled.
I nodded. "So, Shall we get going milady? You have a tons on list to do before you got ready to serve the... prince pfft" Siniko ni kin si ken dahil sa sinabi nito.
"I swear my brother, Your pieces are going to flew with the wind later." Kin said and tapped ken's shoulder saka nagpaalam narin at umalis. While kean, The girly one is playing with my hair.
"We shall get going to now, Madami ka pang dapag matutunan at malaman" Sabi ni ken na tinanguan ko nalang.
"Wait, Can I be the one to change her looks after your seminar with her?" Kean said with her eyes, Shining.
Ken just nod at doon ay saka lang nagpaalam si kean at umalis. While ken, Continued explaining and introducing some things to me that aren't found in the human's world.
"This is insane" I whispered as my eyes got full of the visible dead humans. Andito kami ngayon sa realm of the deads wherein dito daw muna pinapatambay yung mga kaluluwa ng mga taong namayapa na pero may mga unfinish business pa or may mga gusto pang gawin.
They are being guided to the human's world to finish their businessess with a reaper para makasiguradong hindi sila makakapanakit ng buhay pang tao or di kaya naman, hindi mahila ang kaluluwa nila papuntang impyerno.
Nang makahanap kami ng available na reaper na kasalukuyang nagkakape ay nilapitan namin ito. "Can't you see? I'm busy enjoying my coffee, Mamaya n'yo na ako istorbo—" Natigil s'ya sa pagsasalita nung makita si ken atsaka bumuntong hininga at pinaupo kaming dalawa sa harap n'ya.
"It's not like I'm following an order from a lower creature than me okay? It's just that I respect Mejia's so don't get full of yourself, please." The reaper said and sip a coffee.
"We're searching for a soul, Have you collected a soul with the recent name of Heart Mayto?" Tumaas ang kilay bigla nung reaper.
"Her soul is still alive, But it's not intact to her body anymore. According to the book of lives, She still got 6 decades to live but that's if she managed to stay alive at that game." My forehead knotted.
"Game? What game?" I asked. At doon ko lang biglang naalala na gumagalaw mag-isa yung avatar ni heart doon sa paborito n'yang laro.
"Heart Mayto's case is being reported to us hours ago, And some of the reapers and angels are now securing the phone where her soul is being trapped or else, Demons can snatch her soul and drag it down there" he said.
"How—"
"Nah-ah. Those answers are enough. You can't help her and you can't do anything about her case. Besides, You should be more frightened about your brother." He said at bigla nalang naglaho kung kaya't para akong nanghihinang napasandal sa upuan.
Heart is being trapped, And now what's the matter with my brother?
