Chapter 5: TRAPPED IN HIS ARROWS

Start from the beginning
                                    

I heard Leona's sigh.

"I know what you're thinking. But I guess he wanted us to live longer for his own satisfaction, as you see without us. He is alone, and there will be no person worshiping him." natauhan ako sa mga sinabi niya.

That's right, he wanted us to worship him and be his objects, we are like these damned toys.

We decided to go inside at nakita ko agad sina Jaslynn at 'yung nahimatay kahapon na babae. That girl, Blytha. I'm surprised she could still handle herself in her condition? I remembered she was unconscious for three hecking hours yesterday,  yet she still managed to help Jaslynn, naka cover din ng bandage 'yung binti niya at ganoon rin 'yung karamihan dito, all of us are hurt and wounded.

"Azami." saad ni Blytha sa tabi ni Jaslynn kaya napatigil kami sa paglalakad. I'm still wondering why they know who I am, perhaps They've all heard rumors about me? The mysterious girl who keeps to herself and doesn't seem to interact with anyone else. Despite my reputation, however, I'm not quite as antisocial as they think. In fact, my inner world is filled with thoughts and ideas that I can't seem to express with words. Maybe that's why they seem to know me so well. I'm not quite the loner they expect me to be.

"Blytha kilala mo pala siya?" mahinang tanong ni Jaslynn and
she nodded at her, napatingin siya muli sa'kin at konti lamang itong napangiti.

"Azami, salamat talaga sa pagtulong sa'min." pagpasalamat ni Jaslynn.

"We're looking for her cousin. Tatanungin lang sana namin kung nakita niyo ba si Karlynn? We've been searching everywhere for her." Blytha suddenly told me pero napailing ako.

"I was... Unconscious. I'm sorry." tanging sabi ko lang at napatango-tango lang naman sila, not making the conversation long.

"Oh. Okey, thanks." she a little bit smiled and I just nodded once again before uttering a word.

"Walang problema." I was about to go when a guy stumbled right in front of me. Of course I was again surprised. He fell to the ground and let out a loud, angry groan hitting the floor multiples of time.

"Ayaw ko na talaga!! Hindi na ako susunod sa ano mang patakaran!!!" nahinto kaming lahat nang bigla siyang napaubo at dumura ng dugo, umatras ako at di namalayang mapasiksik sa mga nagtitipon-tipong mga tao sa likuran ko.

Napatakip ako sa tenga ko nang sumigaw sila, dahil sa kabiglaang pagsabog ng lalaki kagaya noong nangyari kay Ashley! Pero 'yung sa kanya ay kakaiba, siya'y naging abo! Napatakbo na kaagad sila sa kaba. Leona immediately grabbed me at sumama kami kina Blytha, lumayo na rin kami doon.

"W-what was that?" tanong ni Jaslynn at ang lamig ng kanyang mga kamay sa balat ko, halatang nanginginig din sa takot noong kumapit siya sa'kin.

"Hindi ko rin alam," sabi ko.

"No, whenever they're saying they don't want to follow the rules anymore, that's what's going to happen, so please, never say anything like it." pagpaliwanag sa'min ni Leona. Pinaliwanag niya rin na isa sa pinaka ayaw itong salita ni Xyruz kaya kapag sinabi mo ito ay kaagad kang mawawalan ng buhay.

Nagpatuloy kami sa paglalakad, at nalaman namin na marami ngayon ang namatay dahil dito. Marami sila ang nagrebelde at nagwala. Lalo na ang mga baguhan kagaya ko.
