Chapter Ten : The Serpent's Empress

Natahimik ako at napatingin nalang ulit sa stage. Pero hindi ako mapakali.Ano bang gagawin nila sa lalaking yan?

"C-chairman Ax! Please, maawa ka po sa akin. Hindi na mauulit. " The guy pleaded.

Ano bang nagawa nya?

Pero tila walang naririnig si Chairman Ax.

              "This is an example of my word. This is why you should be scared." His words instantly give me goosebumps. A short but deadly words made my heart skip a beat. "Throw him to the dungeon!"

"PAKIUSAP CHAIRMAN AX!AYAW KO PANG MAMATAY. PATAWARIN NIYO AKO. PAKIUSAP...."

His screams and pleas is the only sound that we can hear. Kasabay ng pagkaladkad sa kaniya palayo ay ang unti-unting pagkawala ng natatakot na sigaw nito.

Napatingin ako sa exit door ng hall. Chairman Ax just left the place and leaving a death threat.

"Kawawang lalaki. For this year sya ang kauna-unahang natapon sa Dungeon..."rinig kong usal nang isang babae sa kabilang table.

Hindi ko maiwasang mapaisip at matakot. What kind of school is this?

A sudden sound from the stage and umagaw ng atensyon ng lahat. We saw Miss sweet testing the mic with a wide smile on her face like nothing just happened awhile ago.

               "To formally end this event, let me call the newbies here on stage!"

More lights were added and made the area more lively. Ignoring the fact that something scary happened earlier.

Ve pulled me up and everyone from the group followed. Ewan ko kung anong gagawin namin at kailangan pa nang ganitong introduction basta't kinakabahan ako. Sobra! Nanginginig pa ang kamay ko habang nasa stage kami.Sa lawak nang Hall para akong nalililo.

                 "What a nice day to see lots of newbies here. This is so nice. The more the merrier...." Miss Sweet give out a creepy and weird smile that did not escape my attention. "And let us not make this long. Allow me to also call the Council, lead by the Student Council President, Mr. Klein Vallejo and the Vice-President, Mr. Johan Suangco!"

Nakita kong nagsitayuan sila Klein kasama ang iba pa. Naghihintay lang ako kung ano ang gagawin hanggang sa may isa-isang lumapit sa amin. Napatingin ako kay Ve at nilapitan sya nang secretay nang Council. Confuse kung pano ko nalaman? Well, nameet ko na sya before. If you can still remember, that was the day my teacher was killed through the snake's poison.

Napatingin naman ako sa lalaking lumapit sa akin. He smiled at me. Not a creepy one pero isang maamong ngiti.

                      "Just a piece of advice, Miss Valdemore. Do not believe too easily."

                      "What do you mean?" Tanong ko. Bigla naman syang may iniabot sa akin at nanlaki ang mata ko habang nakatingin sa hawak-hawak nyang matalim na kutsilyo.

                      "Kunin mo."

                    "No, I wont. Wala naman akong pagagamitan nyan. I-I dont need that thing. I don't have any plan to kill someone..." I said refusing the offer.

               "I would love to applaud you on that. And I love to watch you sticking on your words. But this place is not a place for your silly ideas. This is where you can only rely on your self. So, I am doing you a favor. I bet you'll thank me for this."

After a second thought, I silently took the knife.

                "The chairman ordered me to give you that kind of knife." Huli niyang sabi at agad na akong tinalikuran.Tatawagin ko pa sana sya kaso napansin ko nakatingin nalang sa akin ang lahat. Nag-usap pa kami ni Klein kaya natagalan kami sa stage.
