Chapter 6

                                   Nisha's Point of View

"Young lady? Wake up," I slowly opened my sight and I saw a pair of eyes. I can see how worried he is by the look of it. I looked at him for about 3 minutes and decided to look away and get up. I feel dizzy and I don't have any idea what really happened to me. But I heard a voice yesterday? I don't know if when that happened but his words are really clear-

"Time will come that we will meet."

That was the voice said before I passed out. And I know that he's guy. His voice is somewhat familiar to my ears but I cannot recognize where did I heard that kind of voice.

I roamed around and I startled because of what I saw. A lot of dead bodies. The place is full of blood. I feel their agony and the most shocking part is I can still hear a breath. Not one, not two but many. They are still fighting, they're still surviving, but they cannot do anything because no one can help them. I can't take anymore and my head was spinning before I passed out again.

-

I suddenly woke up because of the nightmare. I always have this kind of dream and every time it dreams me about it, it gives me goosebumps, I feel eerie without any reason. It also gives me panic and there's something inside of me telling that I can give justice to those people who died in vain- but the question is, how can I help them?

My deep thoughts disturbed by the loud knocks. I rolled my eyes. There it is. The most annoying part but I don't want to complain. Nathalie will tour me around the campus and I hope I can ask anything about the places here.

I slowly got up and reached the door. I opened it but I frowned because Shawn appeared in front of the door. What is this man doing here?

"Get ready. Fix yourself, so we can eat, and we will start to roam around later," he stated. I was about to speak, but I was now just facing his back, and he walked away going back to the kitchen. I stumped my feet because of annoyance. What's wrong with him? I don't have any choice but to do what he wants me to do. Damn him!

After fixing myself for almost one hour, I inmediately went to the kitchen and I saw him sitting, reading a newspaper and waiting for me patiently. Akala ko uusok ang ilong 'pag pinapahintay ko ng matagal. Nakita kong nakahanda na ang mga pagkain sa mesa- Tuna sandwich, milk, banana, egg and bacon. Bigla akong natakam pero hindi ko pinahalata sa kaniya.

"Where are the others?" I asked him while he's still busy scanning the newspaper. My forehead got crumpled because his full attention was on that stupid paper.

"They are in mission," he coldly answered.

Napataas ang kilay ko dahil sa narinig ko. Mission? Is it connected to that monster who escapes after they failed the experiment? Then, they are useless in the Organization. I know already that the root of the problem of this Ottawa City is that deadly Organization. I don't know what's their point for having that kind of group. I also know that they are behind in this killing, who else could be?

"Just start eating," he talked again.

"Why are you not with them?" I asked in response. Doon niya naibaba ang kaniyang hinahawakang diyaryo at tinitigan ako.

"I need to guard your next stupid move. This is my mission for today, I need to guard you since Nathalie is currently assisting my father in his office," he said without blinking.

"You are a useless son then," I answered and decided to sit. I saw how he shook his head and his eyes flew in my plate. He started to put foods in my plate and I let him since he wants to serve and babysit me.

Habang naghihintay akong matapos siya sa kaniyang ginagawa ay napabaling ang aking paningin sa papel na nakalapag sa mesa. The news written on there caught my attention. Agad kong kinuha ang diyaryo at hinayaan lang din naman ako ni Shawn. Hindi ko na pinansin ang mga pagkain na natapos na niyang ilagay sa plato ko. I was focus on the newspaper and I can feel that Shawn was just observing my reaction. I felt shivered because of what I've read.

"2000 people in Ottawa City went missing. And all those people who's missing was turning eighteen next year- the reason to be suspicious and confusing. Who could be the mastermind of this?"

And I looked at the various pictures in the news. Mga dalaga at binata na nawawala na nasa edad na labing-pito. I immediately dropped the magazine because of the news I received.

"Just eat first. Save your question later," napabaling ako dahil sa sinabi ni Shawn. He looks really calm and it seems that they didn't care about those people who went missing. They are so heartless! How can he act like this!?

"You don't care about them," I coldly said while my fist is close and looking at him. He stared back- and now we are in a deep staring contest.

"I cared. I'm not that heartless. But we cannot do anything. Do you have any plans? No, right? Now just eat and don't think any stupid! You are seventeen Nisha and you need to save yourself before them and don't let them catch you!" He frustratingly said. What he said makes me speechless. He's right. I'm turning eighteen next year and there's a possibility that I'll be one of them if I didn't think wisely. I sighed and looked away. I gave my attention to my plate and started eating. I am not good at apologizing. My dad taught me about that too. If I did something wrong, if I harmed someone, I don't apologize. They might take advantage of me. What's done is already done. Instead of apologizing, try to find some ways to prove yourself. Actions are better than words- my dad says.

Napabaling ang paningin ko sa pinto nang may tumikhim. I saw Nathalie with a serious face. Ibang-iba siya sa Nathalie na nakasama ko kahapon. I think something bad happened that can ruined her mood.

"Why are you still here? You should start roaming around. You are not allowed to spend the night outside because the situation is dangerous now, " Nathalie stated. She walked over to the table and picked up the newspaper and ripped it. I just shrugged and continued eating. The hell I care. At least, I know already the news before she throws it on fire. Shawn was just silent since I started eating. I think he's not starving since he didn't eat, or he's done? I don't know.

I drank water when I was done. I turned to Nathalie who was just staring at me. I checked her from head to toe. She's wearing a red sophisticated dress above the knees. The dress let expose the curves of her body while her brown hair was swaying. She's also wearing red stilettos. She doesn't have make-ups except with the red lipstick that really matches her looks. I blink twice when she turned around and walked with poise.

"I'm just here to check on you. Be careful. I trust Shawn that he can take good care of you," huli niyang sabi habang nawala na siya sa paningin ko. Nagkibit-balikat na lang ako.

"Are you done?" Tumungo ako at tumingin kay Shawn na nakatitig sa akin.

"Obviously," I quickly responded.

He got up and cleaned the table. It's my first time to see an ideal husband and doing this kind of stuff. I find it something odd since I am new seeing this thing. I got up and waited for him. I could see Shawn dressed up well. He was wearing black pants and a white t-shirt that showed his elegance. Not bad. While me, I wore a jeans and a polka dots blouse and flat sandals. I don't do make-ups since I have a natural beauty. I just let my shoulder-length hair hanging loosely.

"Let's go," he said. Nauna na siyang lumabas at tahimik lang akong sumunod hanggang sa makalabas kami ng silid at makababa ng West building. I see a few students and they look like newcomers too. I think, this day are for the transferees.

"You are already aware what are the East Building, right? That building is private. Pili lang ang mga taong pumapasok d'yan. At mga importanteng tao lang ang p'wedeng pumasok," he started while his hand was in his pocket.

"You are allowed to go inside?" I asked him. He looked at me again and nodded. Binalik niya rin naman ang paningin kung nasaan ang East building.

"I can. But when I have a missions to go there, that's the time that I can go inside in that building," he continued. I just nodded even though he could not see it. "Next, West building, it's for the dorm of all students where we are staying for good until we graduate," he stated while looking at the West building. He didn't give me gaze again. "And the other two, For the North Building, that's where we study. Nand'yaan ang mga library, classroom, book store and the other school purposes. Last, the South Building, where you can find the laboratories. There are 20 laboratories and that's only for those students who wants to be a scientist," he lastly informed.

"And they are doing experiment there?" I innocently asked again.

"For studying, yes. But for the Peur Organization, it's a no. They cared for the safety of the students," he answered. I simultaneously rolled my eyes because of what I heard but I still nodded.

Naglakad naman siya patungo sa ibang direksiyon at sumunod naman ako sa kaniya.

"Next, we will go to the private place. This is not part of my mission but you will owe me this one. I will show you where did they buried dead people. There's a hidden way to go in that place called Greenhills," I heard him say again.

I don't know, but I can feel shiver down to my spine out of nowhere after hearing the name of the place.

Is it there where I can find dead bodies for real?
