Pristine Barrio Algere (COMPLETED)

Kabanata 18

Misa's POV

"Why would you do that!?" I feel like losing my voice, my sanity seeing Miracle's lifeless body. And I detest Sally for being happy despite everything that happen.

Nakangiti siya habang hinihila ang katawan ni Miracle, ni hindi ko alam kung saan kami patungo. Yakap-yakap ang sarili ko siyang sinundan. God, how I hated myself knowing that I still feel safe whenever she's around. At hindi ko man lang natunugan na siya ang may kagagawan ng lahat.

"I did that to save you, Misa. She's about to kill you and I won't let that happen," tulala akong nakatingin sa bangkay ni Miracle. Huminto kami sa isang ilog, dito ba niya balak itapon ang katawan ni Miracle?

Katawan ni Miracle? Patay na ang kaibigan ko! I can't believe she was killed by my friend, too. Ang sakit, sakit naman. I was about to shout in agony until I felt Sally's hand near ny mouth.

"Shout and I'll kill you too," umiling ako nang ilang beses sa takot na totohanin niya ang banta. S-She can kill me?

Hawak niya ang mga kamay ni Miracle at balak niya yatang ihagis ito sa ilog. Pikit mata ako habang ginagawa niya 'yon. I open my eyes when I heard some rustle near me, only to see Sally asking my help.

"Help me throw this damn body, Misa," her eyes shows tempter and I was quick to help her. Sabay naming tinapon ang katawan ni Miracke sa umaagos na tubig. Muli akong natulala habang nakikita ang kaibigan at naririnig ang mala-demonyong tawa ni Sally.

Sobrang takot at galit ay inangat ko ang aking kamay para sampalin siya. Mabilis naman siyang umiwas at tamad na sinanggalang ang kamay niya. Nanginginig akong bumitaw sa kaniya.

"You k-killed my M-Mama and m-my b-b-brother? E-Everyone in b-barrio Algere? B-B-Brutally k-killed t-them? W-W-Why would you do that? I-Ikaw din ba 'y-yung b-babaeng gagawin ang l-lahat para m-makuha ang barrio Algere? B-Bakit mo ako g-ginaganito, Sally?"

I feel betrayed, I trust her more than myself. I trust her my whole life. Mula pa noon, siya na ang unang taong pinagkatiwalaan ko. I knew she's creepy but to this extent that she'll kill someone, I can't believe her.

"Simple. I did those things for you, Misa. I killed them because I want them gone. Yes, I'm that girl who will do anything for barrio Algere. I can kill you, too. I'd desperately kill for you but in the end, I'll kill you, too," ngumiti siya. Dati, normal na ngiti lang 'yun sa'kin. I've always find her weird, creepy and a goth but this time, I felt really scared. Bakit naman kailangan niyang pumatay?

"What made you do this, Sally? At anong karapatan mong kumitil ng buhay? I trusted you and I can't believe I trust someone like you," tears brimming my eyes but she looks at me, like I'm nothing to her.

"Regret all you want, Misa. Trust me when I say, I did that for you. At subukan mong harangan lahat nang plano ko, may kalalagyan ka sakin," the way she said it, like ending my life in a single stance. Baliw ba siya? Nilinlang lang ba niya ako kaya ganto ko siya pagkatiwalaan?

May narinig akong kaluskos dahilan para magkumahog akong magtago. Pero wala akong nagawa dahil si Sally mismo ang nagharap sa'kin sa taong dapat pagtataguan ko.

"You! Where the heck is my sister? Anong ginawa mo sa kaniya!?" Aelous shout gives dread into my soul. Nalaman ba niya ang nangyari kay Miracle? I've never seen him this angry, he's always in control.

"H-Hindi k-ko alam, Aleous!"

Naningkit ang mga mata niyang tumingin sa likod ko. Nandoon si Sally at alam kong nakita na niya 'yon. Lahat ng dugo ni Miracle ay nasa sahig pa, hindi ko na alam ang gagawin sa oras na malaman niya. Makukulong ba si Sally? Gugustuhin ko bang makulong siya?
