'There is really something wrong in
this game'
Day 3 (Continuation)
Ilang minutong nakahiga ang ulo ko sa manibela habang nakikiramdam sa paligid. Ang tahimik at panigurado na nakikiramdam din sila sa mga mangyayari. Bumuntong hininga ako at gustong-gusto ko nang mamahinga. This day is freaking tiring. Those games, those trials and this damn field are absolutely sucks.
"So let's dicscuss about the very well-known clan. Harper." Agad na naiangat ko ang ulo ko mula sa pagkakahiga sa manibela nang marinig ko ang sinabi ng emcee. Bakit nadawit ang apelido namin? What is the game up to? Lalong tumahimik ang paligid, halatang interesado at iniintay nila ang anunsyo ng emcee. Ryder and I looked at each other waiting for something to happen. "As we all know, Harper clan has been massacre and declared all dead yet guess what?" I stopped nang marinig ulit ang boses ng emcee na iyon. Do they all know?
"The heiress lives." Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig sa narinig ko. They aren't gonna announce it right? Not here. I even heard gossips sa pinagmumulan ng emcee. Ang mga kateam ko, kahit hindi ko sila tignan, alam ko, nakatingin sila sa gawi ko. Obviously because I'm the only Harper here. Kusang gumalaw ang mga kamay ko at humawak ako sa brake at manibela.
"Welcome Blaise Harper." The emcee finally said. I know they are up onto something. "The game will not change yet adding something will not make it bad. The one who'll capture Blaise Harper, dead or alive will be given a reward and big points. Goodluck." Agad na nagsitinginan sa gawi ko ang mga kalaban. Napatingin ako kay Ryder na nakakunot at halata ang pagtataka sa mga mata niya. Damn it. I never thought this would come at sa battleship pa talaga. Mabilis na nagsisuguran ang iba at ung iba ay sumakay sa mga kotse nila papunta sa'kin. Pinaharurot ko nang mabilis ang kotse ko papunta sa kung saan. Narinig ko ang mga ibang kotse na nagsisisunuran din.
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Bang*
Sunod-sunod na pagbabaril ang naririnig ko papunta sa direksyon ko. Are they lunatic?! Para sa points at reward, papatay sila? Damn them. Kinuha ko ang isang baril at inilabas ko ang kamay ko sa bintana to shoot them.
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Bang*
I immediately changed my route at pinasok na ang kamay ko sa loob. Lalo ko pang binilisan ang pagmamaneho ko. "Blaise stop!" I look at my side, it's Rye chasing after me. "No!" I shouted at binilisan ang pagpapatakbo ng kotse. I don't want to die in here. Not here, not this time and definitely not in this situation. "Blaise stop!" Sigaw ni Rye pero umiling ako. "Damn it Blaise! Calm down and fucking stop that car!" He shouted pero umiling pa din ako.
*Boogsh*
"Are you freaking nuts?!" I went out of my car nang mabunggo ko ang kotse niya. Damn it. "I told you to calm down," he said at buti nalang bahagya lang ang pagkakabunggo ko sa kaniya. He opened his car and looked at me for a second. "Get inside." He said but before I get inside, I took my weapons and bags, I hopped into his car at pinaandar niya ito.
"You are a Harper.... the well known clan in the Mafia World. Why didn't you tell me?" He asked while driving. Hindi ko alam ang isasagot. I know he has questions popping in his mind right now. Damn, I should have told him. "I am a Harper. I don't want to tell my identity to someone else. It's hard to give trust to anyone nowadays." I said and he stopped the car at tumingin sa'kin. "Why didn't you tell me? Hindi ba ako katiwa-tiwala? Damn it! And now we are stuck in this situation," he shouted in fustration. "Nothing will change kahit sabihin ko sa'yo." I said. We remain quiet for the pass few minutes. Hindi ko alam ang tumatakbo sa isipan niya.
"I better go. Madadamay ka sa'kin," I said and I was about to open the door ng bigla niyang hinatak ang braso ko. "Matagal na'kong nakadamay sa buhay mo from the moment I kissed you and from the moment I began to love you. So please, let me protect you," he said na ikinatawa ko. Hindi ko alam na may magpapakatangang lalaki para sa'kin. Poprotektahan ako sa ganitong sitwasyon? Nababaliw na ba siya? Malaking puntos ang kapalit ng buhay ko. Hindi ba siya natutukso dun? Nandito na'ko sa harapan niya, he can kill me anytime pero ano 'tong ginagawa niya? Lunatic.
"If you want to live... then stay away from me." I said at balak bawiin ang braso ko ng lalo niya itong hinigpitan. Damn it. Is he out of his mind? "I won't stay away even if it cause death." He said at tumingin ako sa kaniya. Desidido na talaga siya. I can see it in his eyes. Sumandal ako sa upuan at binitawan ang pinto. I close my eyes and released a heavy sigh. "Let's go." I commanded dahil wala akong magagawa. He's Rye Giazo. Kung ano ang gusto at sabihin niya ay masusunod. Kumuha siya ng isang bomba at hinagis iyon sa kotseng sinakyan ko. He started the engine and drive it fast as the bomb explodes. Maraming mag-iisip na baka patay na ako sa ginawa niya and that would help a bit.
"Where are we heading?" I asked while he is focusing on driving. "To the North." He answered. Habang nagmamaneho siya ay inayos ko na ang mga sugat ko. Now, I'm wondering, how did they know?There is really something wrong in this game.
"Royal Family knows everything and manipulates anything. They can make your life miserable in a snap." He said. Royal Family is a very quiet clan. They just watch, never uttered a word but who knows how they really act. Baka mas masahol pa sila sa Clarksons. They even made a game or battle like this para pahirapan kami.
Cruel.
