TASHA


         RUN. SHOOT. GASP. My chest is in a lot of pain from receiving the kicks of the crossbow every time I pull the trigger but I can't bear to stop knowing that if i'll do, the children of Milcom will get to attack me first.

        I was gasping for air but I can't stop because a group of them are still chasing me. I've been passing and entering different corridors but I can't find anyone nor a way out. It's like i'm running in circles and all I have left is a couple of arrows to fend myself.

       Growing desperate, I entered a door and locked myself in and I was surprised to find myself in another corridor so I had no choice but to run again. I'm so tired of running and fighting but I can't help but think about Kleya and Wolfgang. I want to see them again. I really really want to see them again. I don't know why but that's just what my heart longs for.

     Running for my life, I can't help but think... maybe everything that's happening is my karma for leaving Alicia behind. Maybe the universe is punishing me for leaving my sister behind to die at the hands of that maniac that's why my adoptive family was killed, why my friends died, why i'm on the edge of losing everyone I ever cared for. If this is the universe' punishment then i'd be glad to accept it, all I ask is for my friends to be spared from the pain... they don't deserve this, but I do.

        

       "Alison!"

        Umiiyak si Alicia habang isinisigaw ang pangalan ko. Nagpupumiglas siya habang hawak ng lalakeng gustong kumuha sa aming dalawa. Takot na takot ako at wala akong ibang magawa kundi umiyak at sumigaw.

        Gusto kong iligtas si Alicia pero masyado akong takot at mahina kaya naisip ko ang mga tao sa loob ng convenience store na pinanggalingan namin. Matatanda na sila kumpara sa amin kaya tiyak matutulungan nila kami. Takot na takot ako para kay Alicia pero mas nanaig sa puso ang kagustuhan kong makahingi ng tulong. 

        Gusto kong magsalita, gusto kong magpaalam kay Alicia na hihingi ako ng tulong ngunit di ko na nagawa. Sa sobrang takot ko, nagtatakbo ako palayo, ni isang beses hindi ko siya nilingon.

        Humahangos akong dumating sa convenience store. Humingi ako ng tulong sa guardya ngunit sa pagbalik namin, wala na ang van, wala na si Alicia.

         Araw-araw akong umiiyak. Kasalan ko ang lahat, alam ko iyon at araw-araw akong nagsisisi sa pag-iwan kay Alicia. Lagi akong pinapatahan ng madreng naging nanay-nanayan namin ni Alicia, ngunit gabi-gabi ko rin siyang naririnig na umiiyak. Gaya ko, mahal na mahal niya rin si Alicia. Hindi ko alam pero kahit na anong gawin ko, hindi ko maalala ang mukha at pangalan niya.
