Battle Royale: Philippines II

Chapter 17: What I Think

G#48 - Villaroman P.O.V.

"A wonderful evening to everyone," Ma'am Lorraine said cheerfully through the transmitter.

"Welcome to the second day of your battle," she said.

I knit my eyebrows and scratch my head in thought. Is it still the second day? Then why many of us are dead? I hope that this will be prolonged.

"Time for the midnight update," she continued.

"Here are the list of your dead comrades. Starting from the boys."

"Number three - Abuan"

"Number six - Babao"

"Number eleven - Cadang"

"Number fourteen - De Belen"

"Number eighteen - Ean"

"And number thirty - Lopez"

"A total of six dead! Very good!"

B#48 - Yuzon P.O.V.

I caress my sister's hair while listening to the midnight update. Her breathing has finally calm down. She is sleeping peacefully right now. We are in a clinic right now.

"Next, for the girls," Ma'am continued.

"Number twenty-eight - Ignacio"

"Number thirty-four - Labrador"

"And number fifty - Yuzon"

"A total of three, well still, not good."

My eyes widen when I hear my sister's name was mentioned. She's right here beside me! I mean, she's breathing and moving! Why is she mentioned?

"Next on, to the danger zones," she continued.

"At one: B-1, K-6, L-9."

"At three: E-6, H-4, N-8."

"At five: A-3, J-7, O-11."

I mark all those areas and put down my map. I still don't know why is her name mentioned. Whatever, right now, I'm here beside my sister.

I lay down my head on the matress and I feel that she moves. I look at her and she is looking at me.

"Big brother," she said.

"What?" I asked.
