Brechmos Academy: School For The Lost

PROLOGUE

My lids felt so heavy. It felt like they were permanently shut for me not to see again.

Then I heard soft crashes of water.

Sinubukan kong igalaw ang katawan ko, pero sobrang pagod at bigat ng nararamdaman ko na parang buhay at nakikiramdam lang ako galing sa loob.

Fear and frustration silently crept inside my chest.

Ayoko nito. I don't want to be here.

Sinubukan kong buksan ang aking mga mata nang maramdaman ko ang kakaibang gaspang na pumapalibot sa buo kong katawan.

I opened my eyes and saw crashes and waves of water. Mabibigat ang mga matang tiningnan ko ang paligid at nakitang nasa dalampasigan ako. Nakahiga lamang sa lapag ng halos magaspang na buhangin at nasa ilalim ng dilat na dilat na araw. I stayed like that for how long I stayed conscious until...

"She's here!"

Narinig ko ang mabibigat na yabag sa buhangin at kahit na sobrang bigat na ng pakiramdam ko ay sinubukan kong tingnan kung sino ang paparating. But I thought I could, not until my own eyes gave up on me.

Naisara ko ang mga mata sa sobrang pagod.

Hindi ko alam kung ilang oras akong nakahiga lang sa buhangin hanggang sa nabuksan kong muli ang mga mata ko. I was greeted with the dark and dim surrounding.

I almost jerked in shock when someone touched my neck and opened my eyes with his fingers. Sa kabila ng mabigat ko paring pakiramdam ay nakita ko ang isang taong naka puti lahat at may parang oxygen mask sa buong mukha. Like he really needed it just to get close to me.

Then another person came.

Sa gitna ng mistulang pag-iinspiksyon ng isang tao sa akin ay hindi ko lubos maisip kung paanong ang isang tao ay may matang kasing liwanag ng sa kaniya.

That person stood with the same body suit but without the full face mask. He looked at me with his almost illuminating green eyes, feeling like he's about to penetrate the ends of my soul just to figure out a species like me.

"What's your name?"

Sa kabila ng iba't ibang pag-iinspiksyon na ginawa ng isang lalaki sa akin at sa lakas ng hampas ng alon sa paligid, his voice was still the loudest and the most disturbing thing my fading consciousness could register.

"I said, what's your name?" He almost growled out in annoyance. But whatever the danger his voice could have made me feel, mas nabagabag ako sa palaisipang...

.... hindi ko alam ang pangalan ko.

Nakita ko kung paanong ang maliwanag na mga mata niya ay napuno ng inis. His impatience seems to draw out the answer to his question for me.

I slowly shook my head.

And almost at the same time, the guy who was inspecting me looked at him. "All clear, Sir."

In my almost fading consciousness I was almost fazed at the sudden smirk that plastered in his almost stoic face. "Case number?"

"1129, Sir."

With all the strength I could muster, I lifted up my hand and saw numbers in black ink imprinted on my wrist.

Napatingin ako bigla sa lalaki nang hawakan niya ang nakataas kong kamay. The smirk still lingering on his face. And as if that was the last piece I needed to start thinking, I realized something.

I don't remember anything.

"1129," I saw his green, illuminating eyes looking at me once again and I felt shivers run down my spine.

"Welcome to Brechmos. The place for the lost."

Trivia: 'Brechmos' is a Greek word of "brain", specifically the front part of it.

I hope you enjoy it!
