-Haxielle-
"Are you okay, Mommy?" Tanong ng dalawa. Agad akong napatingin sa kanila. I don't have child yet but they are acting as my one.
"Nothing." Sagot ko. Lumapit sila sa aking at niyakap ako. They show their cute faces facing me. Ang cute talaga ng dalawang toh sayang di lang inosente. Pumapatay eh.
"We heard from Remi that you failed your plans there. Lalamayan ka lang namin." Sabi ni Wang binatukan naman ito ni Min at pinanlisikan ng mata.
"I'm not dead for you both to mourn. I am the Death itself and it only failed once, I am constructing ideas for it to continue, I can't just think." Sabi ko sa kanila.
Bigla naman napahawak sa ilong si Min at tuming
-Haxielle-Students are horrified on what they witnessed. Blood scattered everywhere at nabahiran rin ang iba. Girls are shrieking with disgust and fear. The janitor arrived here cleaning the whole area. I crouched facing the head of the girl. I gently touch its forehead, tracing the mark with my finger. "Did Grim do that?" Tanong ni Elijah na nasa likod ko. Hexton shook its head as he pointed on the mark. "It's obviously not Grim, as you noticed it's a flower not a scythe." Hex explained as Vissy snapped its finger. "Malay mo she changed it." She said making me glare at her for a second. Why the hell I
-Haxielle-Everything is different these days. Nakita kong papalapit si Yuki sa akin. Dinala niya ang unting gamit na hawak-hawak ko. I gave him a confused stare as he brought those things. Bigla naman akong siniko ni Remi and she is smiling. "So... what's the status between you two?" She said poking my sides. I rolled my eyes at tinignan si Yuki ngayon na nasa harap. "He is courting me." I answered and she shrieked jiggling me causing me to be dizzy a little. Pinaghahampas nito ang braso ko kaya piningot ko ang pisngi nito. Sobra na ahh... "Are you sure about what a
-Haxielle-"Ang baho naman dito! Holy mommy ano ginagawa mo?!" Nilingon ko si Min habang nakangiti. Bumalik ako sa ginagawa ko at tinadtad ang atay. "Hey guys may dala akong pagkain... Jusmiyo marimar! Haxielle ihinto mo yang karahasan!" I stop chopping my business at nilingon sila binaba ko yung kutsilyo at nagpamewang sa kanila. "Wae? Is there something wrong with this?" Tanong ko sabay tinaas ang bituka at tinapon sa sahig. Agad tumingin si Remi sa labas at nataranta. "Did you kill the whole servants?!" Napakamot ako ng tenga habang walang buhay na nakatingin dito. Siniko naman ni Wang si Min.
-Haxielle-My fingers are tapping the table continuously. Napansin ata ito ni Remi kaya hinampas niya ng mahina yung lamesa ko. I stopped and look at her. She is wearing the annoyed look as she pointed my fingers. She sighed deeply before asking me."Bakit di mo sabihin sa akin yung nangyari kagabi?"Inirapan ko siya at kinuha yung cellphone ko. I played my games there as I glanced her staring at me trying to read me. Binaba ko yung phone ko at tinignan siya."You badly want to know?" I asked, she nodded and move her ears towards me as if she really wants to know.Nilapit ko ang bibig dito at pumitik. I cleared my throat and blow her ear."Charot" I whispered.Hinampas niya yung lamesa niya dahilan para tignan kami nila at sinamaan ako ng tingin. Umiwas ako ng tingin at
-Haxielle-Tumayo ng maramdamang wala na si Yuki. Tinignan ko ang sarili ko sa salamin. I can see my reflection with many mirrors behind. Bawat isa ay iba ang istura bawat isa ay iba ang katauhan. I'm a girl with many mask. Pumunta ako sa drawer at kinuha ang isa sa puting bestida at sinuot. Parang may nagtutulak sa akin na bawasan ko na ang isa sa katauhan ko. Lalo na sa kanya. Alam kong nakita niya ako habang sumasayaw sa puting buwan. Wearing no wig, no contact lenses, and my mark is visible. "Haxie
-Yuki Asher~"Any news?" I asked Remi sitting on the edge calling help. She shook her head sadly look in the screen. Hun, is still lost. I think it's about 5 hours already. Remi said she should be here earlier and she lost contact to Haxielle for an hour. Lahat kami napa tingin sa kakabukas lang na pinto. Nakatayo doon si Hector habang nasa likod niya ang babaeng nakasuot ng pang yaya. "Magandang hapon student council ako po si Marga ang taga-pagsilbi nila Lady Haxielle." Yumuko ito upang magbigay galang. That uniform... saan ko nga ulit iyon nakita?
-Haxielle-"Take me somewhere quiet." Utos ko sa kanya habang inaalalayan niya ako tumayo. He guided me on a wheelchair. Aayaw na sana ako ng inunahan niya ako. "Just sit and relax." Ash said pushing the wheelchair. Pagkalabas namin ay iba't ibang pasyente ang sumalubong sa akin. This is better than I imagined. I once visited a mental hospital where I should lived-- because they call me crazy. We take a ramp at naka salubong ko ang isang batang nakaupo sa gilid. She is wearing an hospital gown licking a strawberry ice cream. Her eyes laid to me at parang sinusuri nito mga pinagagawa ko. This is why I don't want to look at kids. They are like
-Haxielle-Sabay kaming pumasok ngayon ni Ash at nagtaka ako kung bakit maingay ang mga tao. Napatingin ako sa braso kong nakabenda."Have you heard? Grim was seen yesterday and she was the heir too."Halos sumama ang timpla ko ng marinig iyon. Who the freak try to copy me? Napatingin ako kay Asher na nagtataka rin. Napatingin kami kayla Remi na bagong dating. "The rumors are spreading who could have done it?" Lahat sila ay nagtinginan. "Someone said Grim Reaper show it's face last night and it made ev
-EPILOGUE-°■Current Location■°Philippine National Airport=-=-=-=7:30 am11 years later... "Asher nasaan ka na ba?!" I fix my shades walking. Napakapit ako sa passport ko dahil baka mahulog. That mission really give my back too much pain. "I'm at the airport kakalabas ko lang." Sagot ko kay Vissy na tumatawag sa akin. I heard someone grab the phone to hers at sumagot. "Oy Asher kapag hindi ka pa namin nakita mauuna na kami doon! Si Jiah nagkukulit na." Paalala n
-Yuki-One month later..."Woah... after a month comeback na ni Asher ito ah." I coldly look at Elijah walking towards me. Vissy beside her poke his sides at sinamaan ng tingin. Someone tap my shoulder at lumingon ako sa kanya. It's Hexton."You good bro?" Tanong nito sa akin. I let out a deep sigh at humarap sa kaniya. Hindi pa sila hihinto? "Yeah, I am." "It's been months isn't it?" He look at me habang naglalakad. The hallway looks normal now... it's better hindi katulad noong nangyari sa unang linggo. "Since she died. It must
-Yuki Asher-Tahimik sila habang naghihintay ako ng sagot. I glanced once again to Haxielle at mariin itong umiling. Napakagat ako ng aking labi sa kakaisip. "Time is running up, iho." He tap the buttons continously halatang naiinip na ito. "I choose... Mr. Hades." Lumaki ang ngiti nito at pinindot ang button na para sa lalagyan ni Sir Hades, pagkatapos ay hinagis niya at at sumabog ang susi. Unti-unting bumukas ang lalagyan nito at nakalabas si Mr. Hades agad niyang sinubukan ilabas ang anak niya ngunit ayaw.
-Haxielle-Sinulyapan ko sila muli sa kani-kanilang pwesto habang ako ay nakatayo sa gitna. Dala-dala ko ang nag-iisa kong katana. Dahan-dahan akong bumaba sa lupa dahil kung susuriin ay maari itong bumigay ng mabilis. "Ervex is on position Nemesis." She communicated. "Can you see the kids? Elijah and Min." Tanong ko habang nakakapit sa putol na sangay at lumundag papunta sa isa. I think I'm rock climbing- but downwards. "I'm still searching for it ngayon maraming bantay akong nakikita at mukhang may ginagawa tauhan nila." Elijah said I can hear him tapping the keyboard
-Haxielle-"Let's fight together." Pag-uulit ko sa aking sinabi. Hinawakan ni Ash ang kamay ko at pinabayaan ko lang. "So... are you guys- may comeback na ganon?" Tanong ni Remi na nanonood sa amin. Binitawan ko ang kamay ni Ash at lumapit sa kanila. "No. There's no comeback- everything will start to zero." Sinulyapan ko si Asher. Alam kong gusto niyang tumanggi doon pero mukhang naiintindihan naman niya. "Did Min send you the location here?" Tanong ko at saktong sumulyap si Min dala-dala ang mga kinakain. "Nope. Wala akong sinend sa kanila." Pagtanggi niya sabay subo ng free
-Haxielle-"Gaano pa tayo kalayo?" Wang asked Min at agad na kinalikot niya ang location. "About 3 kilometers wala pa akong nakikitang radar sa paligid it's still safe." Sagot niya at kumuha ng bubblegum at ngumuya. "Have you sent it to them?" Tanong ko at inayos ang suot ng shades. Tumango naman ito at pinakita ang file na nakasend sa computer ni Elijah.Napahawak kami sa upuan ng biglang umikot ang sasakyan natin. Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Min at tinignan si Wang."Report.""Sorry, Nemesis. May biglang naghagis ng mga pako sa daan." He grab a gun at tinignan ang bintana.Sabay kaming napayuko ng may tumagos na baril doon."I thought you choose a bulletproof car
-Haxielle-I lean my head on the drive wheel. Ilang beses ko itong inuntog habang inaalala ang ginagawa ko. It's been three days- since sinaktan ko sila at iniwan. I regret everything but it doesn't matter anymore. Nagulat ako ng biglang may kumatok salamin at nakita ko doon si Min na nagiintay. Binaba ko ang bintana at sumandal sa kotse. "What?""It's been 20 mins mommy since you park your car here at naandito ako para ticketan ka dahil antagal mo." Pabirong sabi niya sa akin at naglabas ng papel at nagsulat ng kung ano-ano doon kunyare.
-Haxielle-"Why the hell did you do that, Haxielle?!" "Dahil ba iyon ang plano mo?! Then you are so selfish, Axel! Andami mo ng nasasaktan! It's been a week since Asher last wake up. Hindi ka ba naawa?" I continued to keep silent habang sinisigawan ako ni Remi dito halatang dismayado siya sa ginawa ko. "Awa? Kailan pa ako nagkaroon ng awa? And it's your fault kung bakit ka nasasaktan. I always remind you to never love me, never care for me." She let out a breathe at napahawak sa sentido nito. Tumayo ako at aalis na sana sa kwarto ng pinigilan ni Hexton ang kamay ko at hinila papunta sa gilid ng silid. "Then answ
-Haxielle-"Ano na ang gagawin mo, pinsan?"I didn't turn back to look at him at nanatili ang aking titig sa tanawin sa labas. I can see Hexton tapped his shoulder to back him up. "Let her rest kailangan niya pa mag-isip." Sabi ni Hexton kay Carter at naglakad naman palabas ng kwarto ko si Carter. My gaze lowered to the glass of water Asher put beside me. Tumayo siya sa tabi ko habang pinagmamasdan ako na nakatingin doon. "Drink first, Haxielle. You need to make your mind clear first don't pressure yourself." My fingers touch the mouth of glass at ininom iyon.
