The first thing I felt was pain. Sharp, burning, everywhere. Yung katawan ko parang nabagsakan ng mundo. Blinking slowly, my eyes fluttered open. The fluorescent lights above made me squint, casting harsh lines across the sterile white ceiling.
"Ugh..." I groaned, trying to sit up, but the heaviness in my limbs pinned me down. My chest ached. My head... oh God, my head. Paano ako napunta dito?
The last thing I remembered, ang adrenalin, ang kagalitan, ang tunog ng mga baril. I was running through a dark alley, chasing someone, maybe two. Footsteps echoing. I remember the flash of a gun, the sharp sting of hot metal against my skin. Then... another shot. Two bullets. Two hits. And everything went black.
Shit... My lips moved, tasting the metallic tang of blood that I thought I had lost. My mind spun, trying to piece together the fragments of memory. Walang ibang naiwan kundi confusion, pain, at isang gut feeling na... I shouldn't have survived that.
But something was off. Ang hospital na ito... I shouldn't be here. Kailan man, my father or my brother didn't take me to hospitals. They always insisted the doctor comes to the mansion-delikado daw para sakin ang mag stay sa mga hospitals.
So... why the hell am I lying on this bed? My fists curled, muscles tense.
Gulat kong inililipat ang tingin ko sa Isang nurse at doctor na nasa harapan ko. Ang mukha nila ay gulat na gulat din na akala mo nakakita ng multo.
"Mrs. Avelyne?! Did you just wake up?!" Gulat na sambit ng doctor.
"Who... the... fuck... is Avelyne?"
