Chapter Ten

Trap

Kahit hindi flag namin ang hawak ko ay posibleng madagdagan ang aming puntos nang dahil sa nakuha kong flag.

Maingat naming tinatahak ang daan papunta sa talon. Our goal is to not steal flags anymore. All we want to do is to get into the falls to place our flag. We don't need to fight to foil our progress ahead on the mystique falls. Kapag nakarinig kami ng mga paparating na ibang grupo ay umiiwas kaagad kami. For excels, this challenge is tiresome for them that doesn't need an effort to waste. Para sa kanila ay wala lang ito.

"I can't believe you stole their flag, girlfriend." Dian uttered.

Ngumuso ako sa sinabi niya. "Medyo mataas din ang puntos ng flag nila." I said.

Dian bore his eyes on the flag. I give it to him for a closer look. Masuri niya rin itong pinaglandasan ng tingin.

"Oo nga," he agreed.

Nasa likod kami ni Dian habang sila ay nasa unahan na naglalakad. Binalik ni Dian ang flag na hawak niya. I suddenly wondered if how many points does our flag hold. I wanna figure it out pero mukhang malabo dahil hindi naman pwedeng pakiusapan si Reyda na matignan ito.

Sa paglalakad namin sa gitna ng gubat ay biglang nahuli sila Clyd, Serri, Vasha at Reyda sa isang patibong. I let out a small gasp when the scene occured. Nakalambitin sila sa isang malaking net at mukhang wala silang kawala dahil sa wala kaming weapons na kahit knife man lang. Dahil nasa huli kaming dalawa ni Dian ay hindi kami nasama. The rope when they move created a creeky sound.

"Damn it!" Clyd grumbled.

It is because the net is not big enough for the four person, they seem rather stuck and their movement has limitation due to taut space around them.

"I'll find a way to pull you all down!" I said.

I look around to find something to untangled them or think of something. I swiftly gaze the branch where the core of the rope has been tied to. I could easily climb up there to disable the rope.

"Wala ba kayong matutulis na bagay?" Dian asked.

They are struggling to move themselves to check whether they have sharp things that can be use to cut the rope.

"We haven't." Serri make an agonized face as she tried to move.

Isang kaluskos ang nadinig ko papalapit dito. Nagkatinginan kami ni Dian at sabay na tiningala ang nakaangat na kagrupo. I also heard voices and chortle.

"Get us out of here!" Reyda hissed.

Lumapit ako sa puno na pinanggalingan ng sanga pero bago pa ako makaakyat ay pinigilan ako ni Serri.

"You don't have much time. We'll figure something out. Reyda, give her our flag..." she trailed off.

"What?! No way! There's enough time." she fire back.

Clyd muttered something as he move. "Just give her the fucking flag Reyda!" naiinis na tugon niya.

Naguguluhan na ako kung anong gagawin ko at kung sino ang paniniwalaan ko. I need to act fast or else we're toasted in this challenge.

"Give it to her, bitch! Don't be such a jerk!" ngalngal na rin ni Vasha.

"Aleera, bilisan mo na.." Dian added.

Walang nagawa si Reyda at hinulog ang flag sa malaking butas ng net. She gave me a death glare after that. It's like she's warning me of something.

"Kapag natalo tayo, ihuhulog kita sa bangin." she seriously threatened but I did not flinch at her words. Hindi ko siya pinansin at tiningala ang iba pang kagrupo ko.
