My expression turned grim after hearing Ingrid's words

My expression turned grim after hearing Ingrid's words. Kahit si Lily at Maya na nakarinig din no'n ay tila na-estatwa sa kinatatayuan nila. Napatitig lang kami kay Ingrid, as if processing what she just said.

I know she's telling the truth. Majority of med students are naturally observant. She's also smart, she can't be wrong of what she saw.

That only means one thing—we're fucked up.

Zombies are still lurking outside the comfort room. And I'm pretty sure that they won't be leaving anytime soon. Hanggat walang ibang makakatawag ng atensyon nila, hindi sila aalis sa pwesto nila.

Then there's us—the bitten ones.

Ako at ang lalaking tinutukoy ni Ingrid. Dalawa na kaming may kagat. Hindi magtatagal ay magiging halimaw na rin kami.

May zombies na nga sa labas, magkakaroon pa sa loob.

Kapag nangyari 'yon, the rest of our companions would be trapped, including my sister.

I can't let that happen, if I have to kill myself just not to turn, I would gladly do so.

Chills ran down my spine with that thought. Nagsimulang manikip ang dibdib ko. Inignora ko 'yon at pilit tinatagan ang sarili.

Humugot ako ng malalim na hininga at nilingon ang tatlong bagong dating na nasa dulo ng comfort room.

I took my time on scrutinizing them.

They looked like teenagers, probably on the same age as Lily.

Unti-unti akong naglakad patungo sa kanila. Agad ding sumunod si Ingrid, Maya, at Lily sa likod ko. Kunot-noong napatingin sa amin sina Russell, Stefan, at Sab na kakalabas lang ng cubicle kasama ang bata.

I gave them a knowing look, and right then and there, they knew something was up.

When the three newcomers noticed us walking towards them, they instantly became alert.

They watched us warily until we stopped in front of them.

"May p-problema po ba?" the girl asked, her frightened eyes darted on each one of us.

Instead of answering her, pinagmasdan ko lang ang kabuuan niya.

Her long brown hair was a mess. The white puff-sleeved dress that she's wearing was matted with blood. Pati ang maputi niyang balat ay may bahid rin ng mga dugo. Her feet were bare, wala na itong kahit anong sapatos na suot.

Humakbang ako palapit sa kanya.

Kailangan kong makasiguro na isa lang ang nakagat sa kanila.

Pero bago pa man ako tuluyang makalapit ay nilayo na siya sa akin ng lalaking katabi niya.
