Chapter 33: Versus

Start from the beginning
                                    

His voice is very familiar that it gives me headache. But now's not the time for that. My bestfriend is in front of me. I should not waste this opportunity.

"B-Bliss!" I directly ran towards her and gave her a hug.

A hug that's saying a thousand words. It gives me warmth habang sunod-sunod na pumatak ang mga luha ko. Finally, finally. Ghad I miss her so much.

"Y-you're alive. I'm sorry! Bliss I am so sorry." hindi ko alam kung bakit 'yan agad ang unang lumabas sa bibig ko. Parang lumabas lahat ng sakit na kinikimkim ko sa loob ng sampung taon.

"Yeah, I miss you too." she whispered at mas lalo ko pang hinigpitan ang yakap ko sa kanya.

"SHEA! GET AWAY FROM HER!" I heard Paxton's voice.

Why should I? This is a very rare situation. We were reunited again. And I really really miss her so—

"Damn it!" Paxton muttered.

Bigla akong nakaramdam ng kirot sa may dibdib ko. Nilayo ni Bliss ang sarili niya sa 'kin. I spitted blood. Napatingin ako sa masakit only to find out that my chest was stabbed. Blood flows like a waterfall at ramdam kong nanghihina ang tuhod ko. From black, my gown turns red.

May naramdaman akong bumuhat sa 'kin at nilayo ako kay Bliss.

Teka, anong nangyari? Sinaksak ba niya ako? Bumalik ba siya para maghiganti? If so, then I'll be happy. If my death will satisfy her, then I'll be happy to die for her.

"Ang tigas talaga ng ulo mo." nakatingin ako ngayon sa walang emosyong mukha ni Paxton habang binubuhat ako.

"Wag kang mag drama dyan. Immortal ka, di ka mamamatay." he said.

Am I about to laugh because of his sarcasm?

Doon ako napatingin sa sinaksak niya sa 'kin. The sword she used to stab me has poison pero parang niluluwa lang siya ng katawan ko. I shouted in pain as I remove the sword in my chest.

"Masakit? Gusto mo ulitin natin?" he said sarcastically habang nilalapag ako sa isa sa mga bench malayo sa kinaroroonan ni Kiyan.

"You're not helping." sabi ko. Hindi ko alam pero bigla ulit bumuhos ang luha ko. Now I'm crying again like a kid.

Bigla niya akong hinila papalapit sa kanya at niyakap, "Di ka kasi nakikinig sa 'kin. Alam mong kapakanan mo lang naman ang iniisip ko." he said in a soft voice.

"I just can't think straight. What will you do if you see your bestfriend who you thought died 10 years ago? Do you expect me to act normal?"

"Ano bang tinuro ni Seraphina sayo? Waren't you trained?"

I stopped. Ito ba ang ibig-sabihin niya na kailangan kong maghanda sa festival? That's why she emotionally tortured me during my training?

"Ilang beses mo na bang sinira ang dimension na ginawa niya? Ilang beses mo na bang muntik siyang patayin because of your emotions? Don't waste her sacrifices because someone from your past just returned." diretso niyang sabi. Tumigil na ako sa pag-iyak.
