CHAPTER 14 | ZEUSJAYY

BETHANY'S POV

I SIGHED as I entered our house. It is already 7 pm, I'm sure they are going to kill me. It's pass my curfew. Dahan-dahan akong pumasok sa loob ng bahay sa pag-aakalang wala sila sa labas, pero I was wrong. They are waiting for me.

"Saan ka galing, Any? Tiningnan mo ba ang orasan?ani sa akin ni Auntie Claire.

Auntie Claire is my mother's sister. She adopted me after my mother died in a car accident few years ago. At first, Aunt Claire was so nice to me, she was so kind until one day, something happened that changed my life. 

—flashback—

Aunt Claire had a daughter named Clarissa, so basically, Clarissa and I were cousins. Noong una pa lang ay magkasundo na talaga kaming dalawa sa lahat ng bagay, she loves to draw, and I love to sing for her. She's drawing me everything that I want and I'm singing her everytime that she wants.

Life was perfect between us, but one day, something happened. We are both in 12th grade kaya naman lagi kaming magkasama, tsaka magkaklase rin kami kaya no doubt na kahit saan ay makikita mo kaming magkasama.

One day, ala-siete na ng gabi nang umuwi kaming dalawa, bumili kase kami ng mga school supplies na ka-kailanganin namin the other day. Tsaka, nawili kase kami sa paglalaro ng arcades, kaya naman, hindi namin namalayan ang oras.

"Nako, Clarissa. Mapapagalitan tayo ne'to. Lalong-lalo na si Tita! " ani ko na nag-aalala dahil baka ano ang gawin sa amin ni Tita.

"I'll talk to her, don't worry. We are going to explain. " sabi niya na parang hindi man lang natatakot.

"Don't worry ka riyan e, anong oras na? " dagdag ko pa.

Habang nasa kalagitnaan kami ng paglalakad dahil ang school at bahay ay malapit lang din naman tsaka kapag 7 pm na kase, masiyadong wala nang nagpapasada rito, kaya wala kaming choice kung hindi maglakad, naramdaman ko na parang may sumusunod sa amin, kanina ko pa kase napapansin na parang may black hooded man na sumusunod sa amin.

"Clarissa, I think someone is following us. " pabulong kong ani kay Clarissa.

"What are we going to do? " ani niya na natatakot na 'rin dahil sa mga tinuran ko.

"Kunin mo ang ballpen sa bulsa mo, kung hindi tayo tatantanan ng taong 'yan, saksakin natin. " saad ko, pati ako ay natatakot na 'rin sa posibleng mangyare, pero tinatagan ko ang aking loob dahil kailangan kong protektahan si Clarissa sa lahat ng panahon.

Hindi nga kami nagkamali, a man run towards us with a knife, kumaripas kami ng takbo ni Clarissa, pero habang nasa kalagitnaan kami ng pagtakbo ay biglang natapilok si Clarissa.

"Clarissa!" I shouted as I stopped from running. Agad akong bumalik sa kinaroroonan ni Clarissa, I can't risk her. I can't risk my cousin. I love her more than my life, that's why I need to protect her.

"Agh! My leg. " she uttered as her foot was bleeding because she stumbled to a rock. "Any, tumakbo ka na! Pabayaan mo na ako rito. " she added that made me angry towards her.
