Rule #4: Live

Chapter 15

Nagising ako dahil sa malakas na ingay. Tiningnan ko ang oras sa wall clock. It's only 2:30 in the morning. I decided to go back to sleep nang marinig ko uli ang ingay mula sa labas. Since ako ang pinakamalapit sa bintana ay sinilip ko iyon and I found a shadow.

Because of my curiosity ay napagdesisyunan kong tingnan iyon. Nagjacket lang ako at tahimik na lumabas sa kwarto. At tahimik na tinahak ang daan palabas ng girl's dorm. Pumunta ako sa lugar na nakitaan ko ng shadow kanina ngunit wala na ngayon. Fuck! Bigla akong kinabahan. Nagmamadali akong tumakbo nang may humila sa akin and he again pinned me to the wall. "I know your curiosity wont diasappoint me Ms. dela Merzed." Ang tanga mo Ray, ang tanga tanga mo! Paulit ulit kong bulong.

I dared to meet his eyes. At gustuhin ko mang iiwas iyon ay huli na. Please, let me win this. Kahit ito lang, let me win over him. But I failed. I looked away and he smirked. Inilapit nya ang mukha nya sa mukha ko and I can smell his familiar Bleu De Chanel scent. Naramdaman ko ang paghinga nya sa leeg ko. His two arms wrapped around me. And I dont dare to move dahil wala akong laban.

He kissed me on my collarbone. And I dont know why I let him. He traced my jawline using his right hand, He touched my lips, my nose, my eyes. Did he just hypnotized me para hindi ako manlaban? Napapikit ako ng ilapit nya ang bibig nya sa tenga ko. "You're only mine Railey Kirsten dela Merzed" and with that he owned my lips. What kind of feeling is this? He kissed me deeper causing me to moan. I can feel his hands on my back and I cant do anything but to snake my arms around his neck.

He kissed me passionately and deeper causing me to moan again and just as when I opened my mouth, he entered his tongue.

He's kissing me deeper and deeper while his hands are busy caressing my back. Railey! Wake up! No it's too late!

Our lips parted and we both gasped for air. Pero hindi nya pa rin ako pinapakawalan. I met his eyes, I see the soft side of him. I traced his jawline. He smirked. At ipinagsandal nya ang noo namin. He pressed me tighter to the wall. I closed my eyes and he started kissing me again. But his hands aint on my back anymore, he's caressing my legs, I can feel his touch since im only wearing shorts. I slipped my hands inside his shirt, Aint caressing his back but his abs. He kissed me down to my neck leaving no space. I cant help but to moan. He slipped his hands under my shirt. Just as when he unhooked my bra, I pushed him away.

"T-this is awfully wrong" I uttered. He cornered me. "There's nothing wrong if you will be owned by me, Im just getting the benefits in advanced." He tried to kiss me again but I looked away. "A-anong ibig mong sabihin?" He moved closer to my ear. "Just remember, You. Are. Mine. Railey."

"What happened? Kanina ka pa tulala?" At mula sa kawalan ay tiningnan ko ang nagsalita at umiling. Ipinagpatuloy na lang nila ang kanilang pagkain. "Cr lang ako" paalam ko. Damn! I can still feel his touch, his kiss. His hands on my back, his lips on my lips. Fuck! He just stole my first kiss.

Pumunta ako sa garden na kaharap lang ng cafeteria. That man! Anlakas pa ng loob nyang ngisian ako nang magkita kami sa classroom kanina. Buti na lang ay hindi ako nilubayan ni Xenon Andrada. But still, I feel so powerless and hopeless. I called Aiden but he did not answer. Isa ka pa Aiden. I've been calling him since this early morning ngunit nakapatay ang kanyang phone. Bakit ngayon pa?

Umupo ako sa isang bench. Eh kung tumakas na lang ako? Takasan ko ang misyon ko. Tutal naman ay madami na akong pera. But one thing is stopping me. Revenge. Ngunit paano? Paano ko sisimulan? Kung ang makaharap lang ang isa sa Silver clan ay natatakot na ako.

Ano ba ang role mo Damon Andrada-Silver sa buhay ko? Bigla ka na lang dumating and you keep on saying that I am yours. I sighed. Andami kong tanong na hindi ko rin masagot sagot.

I sat there in silence ngunit isang nakakabinging tili ang bumasag sa katahimikang iyon. Nakita ko ang mga estudyanteng nagtatakbuhan patungo sa pinanggalingan ng tili. I joined at tumigil kami sa girl's bathroom. Nakipagsiksikan ako sa crowd at tumambad sa akin ang isang patay na estudyante. She is lying on the floor, cold, lifeless and pale. Brutal ang pagkapatay sa kanya. Nakita ko ang 4 shadows na humalo na rin sa crowd.

Lumapit si Xenon sa patay na babae. Inobserbahan nya ito. I saw how his face became so cold and emotionless. Alam kong alam nya ang may gawa noon. Tumingin sya sa direksyon ko, I looked away, ngunit di nakalampas sa mata ko ang nakasulat sa salamin. Im terrified. Napatulala lang ako sa nakasulat sa salamin.

Nagsidatingan naman ang mga nakatataas at mga pulis. I feel someone dragging me away from that scene. Nagpatianod na lang ako dahil wala na akong lakas pa para makipagtalo. I wanted to cry, not because I feel so powerless, not because of what I saw. But because Im so scared. Pumapatay ako pero hindi ng mga inosenteng tao, kundi ng mga hayup na kagaya nya.

We stopped at the garden. Hindi nya pa rin pinapakawalan ang kamay ko. I looked up ngunit hindi sya ang nakakuha ng atensyon ko kundi ang lalaking nakaupo sa isa sa mga sanga ng puno. He's looking at me, binabantayan nya ako. "I came here to get what's mine dela Merzed, at ikaw iyon. Im powerful, you want me to prove that to you?" mga salitang binitawan nya bago ako tumakbo palayo.

Kinagat ko ang ibabang labi ko para pigilan ang pag iyak. How come na ang dating ako na walang kinakatakutan ay sobrang natatakot na ngayon. Ano ba ang gusto mo sa akin Damon? Ofcourse, you want to take my life, you want to kill me.

I felt someone hugged me. "Sssshhh" tahan nya sa akin. Hindi ko alam na tumulo na ang mga luhang kanina ko pa pinipigilan. He hugged me tighter. I dont know but it calmed me. "Im surprised that you actually know how to cry" he said. I suddenly stopped crying. Hindi ko alam kung magagalit o maiinis ako.

I looked up and lock eyes with him. He's still hugging me at di maipagkakaila na sobrang lapit ng aming mukha. "Shit" I saw him stand at one of the branches at di nakalagpas sa akin ang hunter knife na hawak nya. He aimed at us, at hinagis ang knife. To my surprise ay mabilis akong iniikot ni Xenon using his right hand and he caught the knife with his left hand.

Tumalon sya pababa and he approached us while grinning. Naramdaman ko ang paghigpit ng hawak ni Xenon sa bewang ko. I met his eyes, but the eyes I saw earlier wasn't there anymore. It's so dark, dangerous, furious. Bakit? Dahil hindi ba nya ako napatay nang ihagis nya ang kutsilyo sa akin? "I'll do everything just to get you" him voicing out those words that are written on the mirror.
