Special Chapter: The Beauty of Hell
Rory's Point of View
It's been a while since the first time I watched him from afar. I've seen him mature. I've seen him value the things around him. And those people that let him feel he's worth it. Despite how timid, shy, silent and blunt he is, that doesn't stop him from blending in with others.
When I saw him crying the night I first laid my eyes on him somehow made my heart melt. He's too adorable. I don't want to see him hurt. I wanted to protect him from everything who would try to harm him. I promised. I promised them that I will protect him even if it cost me my life.
I wasn't planning to approach him the first day of school, but I saw him how fear took over his system. Nakatitig lang siya sa babaeng bumagsak sa harapan niya mula sa rooftop ng building. I remained calm. The blood that scattered upon the floor smells so good. Pero pinigilan ko ang aking sarili.
"Hey, are you okay?" tinanong ko siya kaagad.
His knees and hands were trembling. Nakatingin lamang siya sa katawang nasa harapan niya. It's as if he was crucified from where he was standing. From unknown reason, kumirot bigla ang puso ko. I don't want him seeing these things. He's too innocent for this!
When I saw how his shoulders moved, I grab his hands and hug him tightly. Tama ako sa hinula ko nang biglang nabasa ang suot-suot kong t-shirt. But seconds later, humahagulgol na siya ng iyak. Of course, seeing someone died just in front of our two naked eyes, it is traumatizing.
Makaraan ang ilang segundo sa paghagulgol niya, bigla siyang tumingala roon sa rooftop. Sinundan ko ang tingin niya. I gritted my teeth when I saw someone's head peeking from the edge. Of course, I knew what kind of predator that killed this girl lying upon the ground, bathing her own blood.
I concluded that this wasn't a coincidence. This is intentional. Someone wanted Kai to witness this. I balled my palm and gritted my teeth in anger. For the last two years, I've been careful. To those who had the intent to harm him, all of them never had the chance to get near him. I maintained that way for two years. And now, this?!
Nagsidatingan naman ang mga pulis. At tila parang napagtanto niyang nakayakap siya sa akin. Kasing-bilis ng kabayong kumalas siya ng yakap. Sumalubong sa akin ang mga mata niya nang tumingin siya sa akin.
"I'm sorry for hugging you like that," hingi niya ng paumanhin.
I am aware of how beautiful he is. Pero hindi ko aakalaing mas guwapo siya sa malapitan. I've been alive for centuries, but I haven't had the chance to at least find someone as beautiful as him. Kai had a jet-black shag hair, tantalizing gray eyes, his tanned skin made him look hotter, a turned-up nose and a kissable downward-turned lips.
F*ck, get it together, Ry! I scolded myself. "It's fine," I sparingly answered.
For f*cking unknown reason, I couldn't stopped myself staring at him. At mukhang napansin niya 'yon. Bumagsak naman ang mata niya sa sahig dahil doon. Seconds later, inangat niya ang kaniyang tingin. Pero kaagad din naman siyang napahinto.
A sly smile plastered upon my lips when I realized where he was staring. "You look like a hungry wolf just now," I said.
He was quick to compose himself after hearing what I said. Pero pinasadahan niya pa rin ako ng tingin mula ulo hanggang paa. Hindi ko siya inistorbo, sa halip ay hinayaan ko na lamang siya.
Inilahad ko ang aking kamay. "My name's Rory Colmillos Del Grosso." Nakangiting pagpapakilala ko sa kaniya.
Hindi niya ako binigo't tinanggap niya ang aking kamay.
