Chapter Fifty-Nine: Reflect Thy Sins

Laging may masamang nangyayari sa kanila.

At ayoko sanang mangyari ulit 'yon ngayon, because while this game screamed danger and despair, it gave my heart a little hope.

But then that hope... was once again crushed.

I clenched my fists. Dapat ko na talagang kausapin si June. Whatever grudge she has of me needs to be executed on me, and not on anyone else. Sa akin naman siya galit 'di ba? Bakit hindi ako ang puntahan niya at patayin? Bakit hindi ako ang atakehin niya?

I should tell her to confess her sins. Issue a one final battle and the victor could ask anything. I don't want to kill her or anything, dahil hindi naman ako ang may hawak ng hustisya at ayokong maging kagaya niya. I just want her to repent.

To make her see that no matter how her life is ruined, it doesn't give her a reason to destroy someone else's.

My thoughts broke off when I hit into a solid back. Napaangat ang tingin ko kay Wes na tumigil na. I frowned, looking around the place he pulled me to and freezing when I saw the gate. Sigurado akong ito ang city gate para sa next city. Bakit kami nandito-?

Nanlaki ang mata ko at sunod-sunod akong umiling. I tried to pull my hand away from Wes' grip.

"No!" I loudly refused. "Won't! No explanations, but won't leave."

"You need to. Kairo won't let you near Depore for a while. Hindi niya iyon mapapayagan."

"But- Need to be beside..."

"Who? When I said Kairo won't let you, he also won't let his whole alliance close to you. Kairo holds grudges and his grieving rage won't instantly erase it, kahit na ano pang gusto niya sa'yo. Hindi din lalabas ang ginawa mo dahil hindi nila 'yon hahayaan. But... you staying here will just cause trouble."

I only stared at Wes. Talaga bang mas mabuting lumipat na ako ng city? I want to explain and stay close to Depore. Gusto kong alamin kung kayang magamot ang sugat niya, kahit na malaki ang posibilidad na hindi.

Umiling muli ako kay Wes. I don't want to go, I need to stay! Kahit na hindi na para sa paliwanag, pero para nandiyan lang ako kapag kailangan.

My eyes were determined but his were hard. "Hahanapin ko ang mga kaibigan mo at sasabihin sa kanila ang nangyari, kaya siguradong susunod sila sa'yo. I know you want to stay and wait, but it won't do any of them good. Lalo na kapag may mga players na makikisingit sa private affairs niyo. It's better to talk about it privately. Iyong kayong dalawa lang, o kasama ang malalapit na kaibigan nila."

Umiling pa rin ako. Ayoko. Ayokong umalis dito dahil parang ang dali lang din sa'king iwan si Depore.

"If Caspian was here, he'll agree. Kung nandito si Renée na kaibigan mo, mas gugustuhin niya ring umalis ka muna. Running away doesn't necessarily mean you're leaving your responsibility, not if it's something they need."

Wes' hand covered mine. They were warm, like the hug he gave me when he pulled me away.

"Please trust me on this, Sparrow."

Hindi ako sumagot sa kaniya. I just let him drag me to the gate and lightly pushed me inside. Wes' hand left mine when the portal sucked me in - his melancholic face was the last thing I saw.
