Fall into Demise

Chapter 4

The atmosphere got silent. Nakita ko sa periphal vision ko na pinagmamasdan ako ni Tris na para bang may gusto pa siyang sabihin saakin.  But that thought suddenly vanished when she started eating her food.

Tanging ang kubyertos lamang ang aking naririnig. Hindi ko pa ginagalaw ang aking pagkain. I don't have an appetite to eat. Sandali kong pinagmasdan ang upuan na nasa sentro. May nakahain na pagkain roon ngunit walang tao.

Naalala ko bigla ang lalaki kanina.

"Hey, eat your ration..."malalim na wika nang lalaking kulot ang buhok. Namilog ang aking mata nang magtagpo ang tingin namin. His green eyes and well sculpted face tells me that his the funny type but I guess not.

Madali kong nilipat ang paningin sa pagkain. Kahit ayaw ko pa kumain ay kumuha ako nang ubas at sinubo ito. Patuloy lang ang pagkain nila at ganun rin sana ang gagawin ko nang biglang magsalita ang babaeng katabi ko.

"Does she know her schedule, Clive?" she said with all smiles. Pinagmasdan ko siya habang kumuha nang table napkin at marahan itong ipinunas sa kanyang labi. Such perfection...

"Not yet..." pagkasabi ni blonde hair nun ay sa kanya naman ako napatingin. His eyes is looking at me. Napaisip ako bigla , what schedule they are talking to?. Ano ba ang gagawin ko?.

"I believe she doesn't know what is her position here..."bulalas nang lalaking may berdeng mata. Sa kanya naman ako napatingin. Tama siya , hindi ko pa alam. Marami pa akong katanungan na bumabagabag sa isipan ko. I never bother to think about what Im going to do with their group...

"You must be asking questions to yourself right now?. Well fire it up and we will answe it for ya," the green eyes guy added. How did he know that im bothered?.

"Based on your expression I could read that you are confused," mabilisan niyang wika at sumimsim sa kanyang teacup. The ray of light reflected on his glasses making it shiny for a second. Is he a mind reader? A detective?.

Nakita kong hinihintay nila ang sasabihin ko. Natigil rin ang dalawang kasama namin sa silid na kumain. I cleared my throat. They are all looking at me. This is good , maitatanong ko na sa kanila ang lahat.

Pumikit ako nang mariin at huminga nang malalim.

"First..."panimula ko at tinapunan nang tingin ang lalaking may berdeng mata "What is your name?"

Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero bigla nalang tumawa ang katabi kong babae.

"Seriously? You don't know him!?" tawa niya. Nakita kong napa poker face si green eyed guy habang tumitingin sa reaksyon nang dalagang aking katabi. Kumunot ang noo ko sa kanya.

"He is Sphere , the well known guy who can deduce a situation in a second!. I can't believe it!!" she blurted out.

Nakita ko ang pagpigil nang tawa ni blonde haired guy. Big deal na ba sa kanila na hindi ko siya kilala?. Saka ano bang nakakatawa doon?.

"Stop it..." angil ni green eyed guy. Naiinis sa matinis ngunit magandang tawa nang babaeng katabi ko.

Dahil naguguluhan na ako sa kanila ay nagsalita ako.

"Well the same goes for you two..." I stated. Napatigil ang tawa ni Tris at tumingin saakin. Shocked is invetible on her face.

"You are kidding me..." saad niya "All of the person living here knew us..." nakita ko ang pagkairita niya bigla. Well I don't live here , gusto ko sabihin sa kanila ang mga katagang iyan pero tumikom na lamang ang bibig ko at pinakinggan ang susunod nilang sasabihin.

"Let's not make this siuation a big deal," saad ni green eyes. Tumingin muli siya saakin. Tumahimik muli ang atmospera dahil ang atensyon namin ay nasa kanya lamang.

"Im Sphere Xavier , also known as the 'judge' in our group. As Tris said , I can deduce a situation in a second or so," pagpapakilala niya.
Tinaas niya ang salamin at tumingin sa kanyang katabi. Si blonde hair , nagtinginan sila na para bang sa mata lang sila nag uusap.

Pagkatapos nang titigan nila ay tumingin na saakin si blonde hair at nagsalita.

"I hate this introduce stuff but..." huminga siya nang malalim bago ituloy. "Im Clive Kaizer Reiss, the rouge on our team. With my incredible speed in knives , I can kill a person immediately..." he said with smiles. Nanginig ako sa sinabi niya, he can kill?.

Bago pa ako makasalita ay narinig ko ang malakas na hampas nang kamay sa mesa na nagmula sa aking katabi. She rises up and look at me with a smile or should I say a smirked.

"Im Tris Yvur , Im a mage. I can summon any kind of weapons and my magic is within the four elements on earth," she said with a proud and a little boastful. Okay , not little.

"No need to stand up , Tris" saad ni Clive. Making Tris frowned and sit on her chair.

"This team is the number one group here. You are now a part of it. You are one of the Slayers now..." Sphere suddenly blurted not bothering the atmosphere between Tris and Clive.

I am realizing what Sphere had said. Im on their group and ...

"What exactly the Slayers are doing?" my question made them confused and startled at the same time.

"You seriously don't know why you're here and what this team up to?" bulalas ni Clive at tumayo.

Tumingin ako sa kanya at unti unting tumango. I don't even know why im here... Why did I end up in this place. Marami akong tanong sa lahat nang mga pangyayaring ito. Ngunit nagawa ko munang isantabi iyon. I want to know this place. Gusto kong malaman muna ang bagay bagay dito para malaman ko kung ano talaga ang nangyari saakin at pati sa pamilya ko.

"So that's why you look frustated a while ago," wika niya habang kinakamot ang ulo niya. He is walking back and forth.

"Seriously, im getting a headache because of this dimwit," naiinis na saad ni Tris at tumayo na sa kanyang upuan.

"Where are you going?" tanong sa kanya ni Sphere nang makita itong papaalis na nang silid.

"Into the training room. I don't want to waste my time chit chatting with this airhead..." she is referring to me.

Napapikit ako. I know what dimwit and airhead means. She can't blame me not knowing everything in here.

Ang tunog nang pagsarado nang pintuan ang huli naming narinig bago ulit magsalita si Clive.

"Don't mind her. We will help you in anything," he said sincerely. "I will tell you every detail about our group and what do we aim for. But lets start in showing you around this place"

Tumango na lamang ako sa sinabi niya. I look at Sphere and he just nodded at me and smile. He stand up with his hands on his pockets then look at us.

"Clive you can be her partner for the training session. I can feel that she is comfortable with you..." he said then walk off.

But before he could go out in this room he take a last glance at us before saying...

"Wait , what's your name girl?"

Nanlaki ang mata ko. Akala ko hindi na niya itatanong. I cleared my throat and say.

"Klein... Klein Hyui" nag aatubili ko pang wika. I can't afford to hear them saying my other name.

Ngumiti siya nang marinig ang aking sinabi. "Nice to meet you , Klein" then he goes.

After that Clive really did tell me everything I want to know in this place. I also confirmed that he can't hear my questions when it comes to my parents. Dahil tinry ko ulit itanong sa kanya ang tungkol roon. I think there is a barrier or something. I can't give him my fully trust though. I just can't trust someone...

But knowing what this world is and what position I am in. There is something inside of me saying that this must be the life I destined for. On the other side , Im still mourning to my family.

I had decision that I will live for them. I will make them my strength. I know I can find answers here about them.

I know that time will come. But right now , I must accept my new life.

My predestine or should I say fate...
