Strings

Extra Chapter: Test

*Refer to chapter 4

Dei

Pagkatapos kong makunan ng picture ay may lumabas na kama.

"Please lay down." Nagtaka ako kung saan nanggaling ang instruction pero nawala rin agad yon nang makita ko ang speaker.

Sinunod ko nalang pero agad akong binalot ng restraining ropes.I didn't panic I completely surrendered and closed my eyes, that was when something covered my head.

I opened my eyes and saw myself in a different place, is it virtual reality?or is it teleportation? Well it doesn't matter. Tall buildings surround me and I see people with different string colors on their necks.

"Listen up,your task is to kill a human with a black string. Normally they will do their best to cover their strings but your eyes can see them clearly."Nagulat ako sa boses kaya napahawak ako sa tenga ko and there was a small earpiece so I was relieved but the relief didn't last long.

"Is this real?" I asked but there was no response, I clenched my fist, for the first time in 15 years I felt anger.It was the first day!Why do I have to kill someone on my first day?!

I didn't care if it was virtual reality or teleportation,All that was on my mind is that killing is never justified. I was preoccupied with thoughts as I was walking  and I didn't notice myself bumping into someone.

"Tsk,ano ba yan bat paharang hara-" His words were cut when he looked at me and his eyes screamed fear.I wondered why and asked "Are you okay?"

He ran away from me and that's when I saw his string,it was pure black.
I shook my head and punched myself.
You fool,you decided to do this don't be a coward.I ran and it didn't took me much effort,after all I had an advantage.

He ran into a dead end and he looked back at me.

"Please don't do it!I'm g-gonna change." I shook my head once again,I need to get a hold of myself.

I closed the distance between us and when I was five steps from him he cursed.

"FUCK IT!"He brought out a knife from his back and lunged at me.I quickly moved back and dodged swiftly but he attacked me relentlessly.

I let him do it,but I didn't wanna get close to his knife because even though  I'm not gonna get wounded it would  still hurt me pretty bad.

A minute passed, he was getting slower and I was getting ready for a counter attack.I watched him closely as I was still keeping my distance and the second he lost balance because of his attack I got closer grabbed his wrist and used his motion against him to pin him down.

I twisted his wrist and stole his knife.
He pleaded and his words brought back my hesitation.I gritted my teeth,my hands were shaking but I raised the knife.

"Shut up!"I said loudly and he stopped talking but he was still crying.

I moved again,I was ready to kill him but I heard him whisper another please.

I debated with myself again and again  but in the end I couldn't do it.I chose to hurt myself,the knife that was supposed to hit his back was used for my hand.

I screamed loudly, it was painful but it wasn't the reason.I slowly moved to let the guy free as I was talking "I won't kill you so promise me you'll change,you just need to change,I know God will forgive you."

He was hesitant and shocked at first but he quickly stood up thanked me,promised me and ran away from me.I was relieved until I heard a gunshot.I looked at the guy and he was already on the ground bleeding.

"No!"I shouted as my eyes looked for the assailant,I saw a man his eyebrows were furrowed and he aimed his gun at me.

"How could you let him live!"He shouted,I couldn't hold it anymore,I was angry so I shouted back "And how can you kill him!He said he would change!He was so hap-"He stopped me with a gunshot.

I gasped for air as soon as I could open my eyes,my body looked fine on the outside but I was in an unbearable pain.I stayed down.

"You had a grade of F, you may now go out after this shot."Another announcement,a syringe suddenly came out from below and I took it.

I moved slowly because I was in pain but as soon as I injected the contents of the syringe the pain was gone.

I shooked my head and punched myself once again but before I got out I changed my facial expression,I didn't wanna worry anyone.

After that we took another walk and we stopped in front of a door.

"Goodbye Kid,now please enter so I can take my rest."I smiled and nodded at sir Harchiel

"Thank you sir."I said and opened the door.What a rough day.
