Brechmos Academy: School For The Lost

CHAPTER 14

Agad na binaling ko ang atensyon kay Jin at Andrew at mabilis na sinalag ang paparating na Warp sa harapan ko. But another one came and then another.

"Baby, hold on tight. Don't let go, okay?" Bulong ko sa bata habang inaayos ang pagkakalingkis ng maliliit niyang paa sa bewang ko. She nodded her little head at me and I felt her grip tighten on my body. Bumuga ako ng hangin.

Now, with both of my hands, I took my daggers and aimed at the unending Warps coming to my way.

Mabilis na natusok sa noo ang tumatakbong Warp paparating sa akin at agad itong natumba. I aimed at another one at natusok ang balikat nito. Mabilis akong yumuko nang ibalibag sa akin ng isang Warp ang isang kahoy na dala nito. I immediately smacked his face and with another dagger on my waist, pierced it on a part where he immediately fell down, never to stand back up again.

Mabilis na tumakbo ako papunta sa van para agad na mailagay doon ang bata, but another wave of Warps came into my way.

Goodness. Paanong ganito sila kadami at pawang walang katao-tao dito ilang minuto lang ang nakalilipas?

I readied myself nang may isang lalaking Warp ang mabilis na tumakbo sa akin. Pero halos mapahinto ako nang itinaas niya ang kamay at halos lahat ng nasa malapitan na Warp ay agad na napatingin sa akin. Nanlalaki ang mga mata kong napatingin sa matangkad ngunit payat na Warp sa harapan ko.

Ito na nga ang sinabi sa akin ni Dok Cheska noon. The reason why the Greys and only some of the well-trained soldiers in the Institute should be the only ones doing this mission. Because they have an ability that can only be parred by ours. They have abilities like ours, the Greys.

Ang itim na itim na mga mata ng Warp ay nakatitig sa akin. Ang maugat na ulo at mukha niya ay mahinang umiikot. Pawang nagtatawag pa gamit ang isip niya ng mga kasamahan upang sugurin ako.

I calmed myself as Warps nearby came unto our place. But the little kid started shouting when she saw the Warp behind us.

"Help! No!"

Pawang hudyat iyon para sa mga Warp na sabay sabay kaming sugurin. And all I could do was defend the both of us as much as I can. With the gun on the other hand and a dagger on the other, I struck every Warp that tried settling their hands on us.

Doon ko napagtantong hindi pala lahat sila ay may kakayahan katulad namin. That some of them were just empty shells. The only motivation to continue is killing and spreading what they have to other unaffected beings. Ngunit sa kabila noon, pawang nasa talino naman nilang mag-isip naibuhos ang kakayahang wala sa kanila. I grimaced at the intensity of the strike I took.

My only advantage in this is supposedly my rarus. I clenched my fists in frustration. Bakit ba kasi hindi ko ito kayang ipalabas?

"Morgan!"

Naisigaw ko na sa pagkabahala. With a kid hanging on my neck, hindi ko masyadong madodoble ang galaw ko. And Warps keep on coming to my direction dahil sa kontrol sa kanila ng isang kasamahan nila. I gritted my teeth as I aimed at the Warp's head, running towards us. Agad akong tumalikod at tumakbo palayo nang matumba ito. It gave me space to run away from them.

Hindi ko sila kaya. Lalo na't sobra silang madami at hindi nauubos. Most especially not when I'm carrying a child who is sobbing non-stop and clinging to my neck for dear life. I ran towards Morgan who was busy fighting off another set of Warps in the entrance of the building.

Itinaas ni Morgan ang kamay niya patungo sa direksyon ko. One reason why I ran towards her ay para maisagawa niya ang alam kung kayang gawin ng rarus niya. Exude an energy that will take these creatures down. And that is heat and light.
