That Nerd has a Secret (PUBLISHED UNDER PSICOM)

Chapter 52: Tortured

I tried to open my eyes.

Malabo. Ang bigat ng mga talukap ko.

An empty room? A room all painted in black, blue and red.

Where am I?

Sinubukan kong gumalaw pero napadaing ako sa sakit. Ang hapdi at ang sakit ng katawan ko. I can't move.

Napatingin ako sa sarili ko. I was in a chair.

Chained.

Nakagapos ang mga kamay ko sa arm rest ng upuan maging ang mga paa ko. Puno na rin ng pasa at sugat ang katawan ko.

What happened?

Buong akala ko nasa laban ako kay Alysia. Then Kiyan and Paxton helped me or something tapos wala na akong maaalala.

Sinubukan kong kumawala but I feel so powerless. Parang wala akong kapangyarihan dahil ang simpleng kadena ay di ko kayang putulin.

Biglang bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto kung saan ako.

A woman entered wearing a long dress extended on the floor and a black and red royal cape. Kasing puti sya ng nyebe at kasing ganda ng anghel. Kabaligtaran sa kung ano talaga sya.

"Master..." I whispered.

It's the Goddess. She held my chin at tumingin ng diretso sa mga mata ko.

"How is my disciple?" she asked in a sweet voice like she's talking to a baby.

"Master, what happened? Where are we? Why am I chained?"

She smiled, "Let's just say that I am about to train you by myself."

Napalunok ako. Di ko sya kayang tignan sa mata.

Natatakot ako.

"Did you by any chance... disobeyed one of my laws?" tanong nya pero nanatiling kalmado ang kanyang boses.

Biglang nanginig ang katawan ko.

"M-master—

"I am asking you my disciple. Did you disobey me?"

Mula sa malambing na boses ay biglang lumalim ito na parang hinugot sa ilalim ng lupa.

I can't help it but to look down. Her presence was so intimidating that I can't even look at her in the eye. And besides, she already knew it.

"I'm sorry Master." Pagsuko ko.

Natahimik sya ng ilang sandali. The place was so quiet that I can almost hear my own blood flowing within my body. The silence is killing me. It's so loud.

I'm scared. I've never been this scared all my life. I feel so helpless.

Paxton... Kiyan... save me. Help me.

"I see..." she whispered.

Tumingin ako sa kanya but her eyes were cold. Colder than mine that it sent me chills. Yet she's calm.

"You stole a soul from hell and brought it back to life. You even seek the help of the opposite side. You also felt uneccessarry feelings towards someone who is not ordinary. And you've been too good to creatures who are suppose to be your enemy. That my dear, are unforgivable."

Bigla nalang tumulo ang luha ko. Right. She's the Goddess after all. Alam nya lahat ng nangyayari. How stupid am I to believe that she won't find out. Alam rin kaya ni Kiyan 'yon? Bakit hindi sya tumutol? Was he that desperate that time to let me join the Alpha that he'll sacrifice even himself?
