"He got cancelled in the position."


I suck my inside cheek upon hearing Raelle's news. Who would have thought that someone will come up against that old man? Imma use that person for a while until I get to move.


Matagal-tagal na rin akong nanatili dito sa bahay. Since I can't do anything like I used to, I train myself on other things. I badly wanted to do something but this situation won't let me. Sucks to be in this position.


"Nga pala, sabi ni Drishti balik ka daw bukas."


"What?"


She smile at me sadly. "The thought of Blazh getting cancelled in the position might be a relief for us but the people are in crisis right now. No one's leading them...they are getting eager for something." She hold my arm. "Lancey, the people...are fighting. They are battling for their rights and for what they think they deserve."


I laugh sarcastically in my mind. Is this what they call nostalgia? I remember something like that happened.


Crisis, huh? Devin is becoming more hopeless.


"I have to--"


"I don't have much time left. I can only count on you now."


Napahawak ako sa aking ulo. Why do I have to remember it now? It's not like--


"If I'm gone, you'll be the only one remaining. You can...do it. I know you can."


"Damn it."


"Huh? May sinasabi ka?" Raelle look me, confuse. "Gan'yan ba kapag iniwan? Nagsasalita mag-isa?"


"Ano?" Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. "Anong iniwan? Gusto mong maging kalansay?"


I saw how she tried to hold her laugh. "Ang sarap niyong pagsamahin ni Xena. Para rin 'yong tanga kahapon, eh. Hahaha---!"


Natigilan siya nang makita akong naglalaro ng dagger sa aking kamay.


"I'm sorry, Lancey! I won't say it again, huhu!"


Tinutok ko sa kan'ya ang dagger. "I don't accept apologies, bitch."


"Sorry na kasi!" Mukha na siyang naiiyak. "Babalikan rin naman kayo n'on----ahh!"


Galing, ah? Sasaksakin ko na sana pero ang bilis makailag.


"I'm sorry, okay?!"


I tried to kick her but she split and ran away from me. I rolled my eyes. Sa tingin ba niya makakatakbo siya mula sa akin sa liit ng bahay na 'to?
