🏵Chapter 29🏵

Snow's POV

Naging masaya ang hapunan kagabi lalo na at nakita ng lahat ang ginawang effort ni Yuan sa pagpaypay sa mga barbecue kaya yung mga babae, sarap na sarap sa pagkain dahil gawa daw yun ni Yuan. Gusto ko naman mpasimangot, anong gawa ni Yuan doon eh, nagpaypay nga lang yun tapos labag pa sa kalooban. Pinipilit ko pa ngang kunin yung pamaypay kasi kaya naman ng kapangyarihan ko kaso ayaw na niyang ibigay, mukhang masasagi ang pride niya kung ibibigay niya sa akin ang pamaypay. Kaya hayun, hinayaan ko na lang.

Natulog din kami kagabi pero noong gising pa ako eh wala ito sa tent hanggang sa nakatulogan ko na lang. Hindi ko rin ito naabutan kinaumagahan dahil nagmomorning exercise ito at maagang gumigising, di tulad ko na kailangan pa ng alarm para lang magising.

Ngayon ay nakagather na kami at katabi ko nga si Yuan and we are wearing a semi armor at wala pa kaming ideya kung ano ang activity na gagawin.

"The first task, there are 11 different gems that was scattered in the forest. I need you to find one. One stone per team, no specific gem. Just find one." Saad nito sa amin. "The first team who will return with the gem will win."

Aba mas madali lang pala ito kesa sa inaasahan ko. Gem hunting lang pala eh.

"But, there will be traps and obstacles, be sure to prepare." Saad ni Prof Claw. "Then, the task will start now."

Agad na nagsipulasan kami at agad naman akong hinila ni Yuan patungo sa kagubatan. He was dragging me like a rag doll.

"Hey ano ba!" Sita ko naman rito. "Nasasaktan ako Yuan!"

Biglang nabitawan naman ako ni Yuanz. "I'm sorry." Hingi nito. "I did not mean to-"

"It's fine. I-inform mo lang ako next time ng maihanda ko naman amg sarili ko." Saad ko naman rito.

Napangiti naman si Yuan. "Sure, I will be glad to oblige. Now, may I hold your hand?" He said it teasingly.

Ako naman itong namula. Sa oras na ito kinilig pa talaga ako eh. Kaloka, pero ako pa ba ang tatanggi? Haha syempre hindi no, baliw lang ang tatanggi dito. Kaya hinawakan ko na ang kamay nito then he clasped our hands and then we started running. We are not seeing anyone inside the forest. The forest is vast and we are scattered to different direction.

We continue to run and we sharply check everything. Mas mahirap ito dahil bagay ang hahanapin namin at hindi living thing. If its a thing, there is no life in it and there is no reason to feel it kahit gustohin pa namin. But we suddenly stopped from running as Yuan pushed me back and I was sent flying but I flipped and landed gracefully, like what he did as well. Magagalit na sana ako but I saw the reason why he did that. It was raining with steel spikes from above and it was buried half of it every time it hits the ground. Kamuntikan na kami ron.

"These trap is dangerous." Komento ko, kasi paano na lang kung parehong tatanga-tanga kami di ba? Pasalamat nga lang ako dahil hindi tatanga-tanga itong si Yuan, paano na lang kung ako lang dito eh di baka natsugi na ako.

"Seems like, this will not be an easy hunt after all." Saad din naman ni Yuan then he came closer to me and held my hand again.

Nagpatuloy na kami sa paglakad but I already heightened my senses dahil baka hindi na ako swertehen at madali na ako rito. I can feel the wild animals but they are in a far away distance. I can even sense the people walking as well but they are far.

The creaking sound of the dried leaves I stepped on is the only noise I heard in this vast forest. The forest is not even dark, but it doesn't mean it is not scary at all. Knowing there are surprise trap here makes me shiver a bit.
