Chapter 37: Children of the Moon

CHAPTER 37
Children of the Moon

I can't feel anything, obviously because I'm numb. Pakiramdam ko ay mabibingi na ako sa katahimikan ng paligid. My eyes were so blurry and all I could see is white, nothing else. I wonder what happened to Raven...

Sinubukan kong bumangon, pero sumakit lang ang katawan ko at napapikit ako nang marinig ang ingay mula sa paligid. All I heard was heavy metals clanking and a beeping sound from a machine. Pakiramdam ko'y sobrang lawak ng paligid. Lumiwanag na ang paningin ko at nanghina ako nang makita ang napakaraming suwero na nakakabit sa braso ko.

Mabilis kong sinundan kung saan ito galing at halos manlamig ako nang makita ang naglalakihang mga makina sa tabi ko. Where the hell am I?

My eyes immediately widened when the glass door opened in front of me and saw three persons wearing lab gowns. I can't see their faces because they are covered by masks. Shit, ito ba ang sinasabi nila Mina?

I clenched my fists when they were coming towards me, but all I felt was damn pain. Bullshit!

"Subject 109 is under examination, Night." Rinig kong sabi ng isang Doktor habang nakahawak sa kanyang tenga. That fucked up Night, wala namang binanggit si Mama na may kapatid siyang lalaki. He is just spitting pure fucking nonsense!

Para akong binuhusan ng napakalamig na tubig nang may ilabas silang remote at pinindot ito. My eyes teared up in pain and felt the electricity climb up in my body. I tried to stop my body from shaking but damn, I just can't... until I get used to the feeling of being electrocuted.

"You will all rot in fucking hell, I swear..." I weakly cursed, but they were so damn serious. Gumapang ang kaba sa akin nang makitang nagbabago ang kulay ng balat ko hanggang sa maging kulay asul ito.

"Stop," sabi nung isa at napasinghap ako nang mawala ang sakit na nararamdaman ko kanina. My vision is getting clearer and my brows furrowed when they injected something on my arm. Gusto kong sumigaw, pero para bang biglang nanuyo ang lalamunan ko.

I couldn't speak anymore until I felt my eyes automatically closing... and darkness welcomed me again.

Third Person's Point of View

They say being the ingredient for being evil like a demon is losing a loved one, or experiencing a tragedy.

The boss they call is Night. The mastermind of a terrorist organization who kills students who possess special abilities and uses them as a vessel for his own plan-a selfish plan.

Night entered a room that is full of capsules. Maraming scientists ang nasa loob na umiikot para obserbahan ang mga subjects nila. He stared at the bodies floating inside the capsules and grinned sinisterly. He is crazy.

He is Night.

"Magkikita rin tayo sa susunod, Twilight," sabi niya at pumasok sa isa pang kwarto kung saan mas malaki ito kumpara sa ibang silid. Maraming makina ang nakapaligid sa isang capsule na nakapwesto sa gitna ng silid.

He smiled and walked towards the capsule where a beautiful woman is peacefully sleeping-or maybe not.

Lumulutang ang katawan nito sa kulay berdeng likido habang nakayakap sakanyang binti. She looked like an angel, too bad, she took her own life. She's Twilight Rocheril, ang nakababatang kapatid ni Night.

They were known as the Night Reapers in the whole town. Kinatatakutan silang dalawa sa lugar dahil sa kakaiba nilang abilities.

Twilight manifests the ability of Death Freeze. Kapag nahawakan ka niya ay titigil ang lahat sa'yo hanggang sa unti-unti kang matutunaw na parang yelo. Once she touches or sees you, everything's over.
