Who Did It?

/3/ Blood is red

Kisses' POV

It was in the middle of the night that I heard noises coming from the other tent. I was in a trance-like state kaya binalewala ko na lang, natulog na lang ulit ako.

"HELP!!!"

Someone shouted so loud kaya nagising kaming lahat. That voice, parang si Jameson 'yung sumigaw.

Lahat kami nagising including ate Vaughn. Dali-dali kaming lumabas at tiningnan kung anong nangyayari sa kabilang tent.

Naka-unzipped ang front ng tent nila kaya nang mailawan ng flashlight ay kitang-kita ang nasa-loob.

"WAAAAAH!!!" Hindi napigilan ni ate Sue ang mapasigaw, ganoon din si ate May.

Hindi ako makagalaw sa nakita ko. I wanted to shout pero nawalan ako ng lakas.

"H-help." Sambit ni Jameson, tuloy tuloy ang pag-agos ng luha nito.

"Shit w-what happened?!" Tulala si Markus sa duguang katawan, ganoon rin sila Darren, Donny and Edward.

There was blood all over the tent. One body lies unconscious.

There was a knife strucked deep down Iñigo's chest. Bukod doon, may mga lacerations din sa katawan niya.

My knees were shaking. Agad akong tumalikod kasi hindi ko kinaya ang nakita ko. Naririnig kong umiiyak si ate May tapos naramdaman ko na lang na may yumakap sa akin.

We were all shaking out of fear.

"S-someone killed I-Iñigo." Paulit-ulit na sambit ni Darren while he was walking backwards tapos bigla na lang siyang tumakbo.

"Darren! Darren!" Sinundan ni Markus si Darren, hindi ko alam kung saan iyon papunta.

"Who did this?!" Sigaw ni Donny. He was so infuriated nakita ko na lang na nasa labas na siya ng tent, hawak niya ang kwelyo ng damit ni Jameson.

"B-bakit ako? I didn't do anything!" Sagot ni Jameson.

Abo na lang ang natira mula sa bonfire kanina. Nakasilip ang buwan kaya kahit papaano ay may nagbibigay ilaw sa paligid.

"GUYS WILL YOU PLEASE STOP FIGHTING!" Sigaw ni Edward.

Patulak na binitawan ni Donny si Jameson.

"A-anong gagawin natin?" Tanong ni ate Vaughn. Nanginginig ang kamay nitong may hawak ng flashlight.

"S-sino ang m-may gawa niyan?" Dagdag pa nito.

"Guys remain intact. H-Huwag hihiwalay." Medyo shaky ang voice ni ate Sue habang yakap-yakap niya kami ni ate May.

Hindi ko pa ma-process ang mga nangyayari. Gulong-gulo ang utak ko ngayon. Kahit anong pilit ko, it won't sink in.

"Edward, i-check mo kung may pulse rate pa." Utos ni ate Sue na agad namang sinunod ni Edward ngunit isang pag-iling ang naging sagot nito.

"Guys, listen up. The killer might be on the run or maybe, he's watching. Keep your senses alive." Edward said as his eyes examined the place.

"K-kisses are y-you alright?" Donny asked nang makalapit siya saakin. I nodded.

Hindi ako makapagsalita. Hindi ko alam kung anong iisipin ko.

"Ssshhh, stop crying. Don't be afraid okay? I'm here, I won't let anything bad happen to you or to anyone." I felt safe nang hawakan niya ang kamay ko. Nakalma ako ng konti kahit papaano.

"Uwi na tayo." Sabi ni ate May.

"Wait not now. It's still dark. We'll wait for the morning light." Tugon ni Edward.
