36. The Ritual: The 3 Levels

//Destiny Vliss//

This is it.

The day that I'm finally gonna show off how much of a high-class professional queen bitch I am.

Naramdaman ko ang malamig na simoy ng hangin na tila ba'y humahalik sa maganda kong balat.

"Looks like today's temperature is on my side," I said to myself.

Cold.

Muli kong tinanaw ang kabuuang tanawin ng aming siyudad mula rito sa talampas na kinatatayuan ko ngayon.

"What in the name of bitch is this ritual? Literally in the middle of bitchy nowhere. Psh!"

I looked once again at my phone. Now staring the bitch out of this message I received from the XYZ Gang.

And guess freakin' what.

They didn't even specify which abandoned shoe factory they're referring to!

Halos mamatay-matay ako kaka-surf sa internet, locate sa mapa, hanap sa atlas, at iasa sa GPS ang lugar na tinutukoy nila.

Kasalanan ko bang hindi lang naman nag-iisa ang abandoned factory ng mga sapatos sa malaki at malawak naming siyudad?!

Gosh! I don't deserve this.

"Why on earth did those people build an entire shoe factory on, literally, the cliff of this city? Dagdag pollution tuloy sa bansa," I complained to myself.

Good thing pinasara na at tuluyang naging abandoned place. Hence, now, I can only breath fresh air from nature.

Nang ma-satisfy na ako sa rami ng hanging nalanghap ko, I confidently turned my back from the city's view and faced the chain-like fence gate of the factory. Confident akong naglakad papasok sa butas ng gate at tuluyang tinahak ang daan papasok sa loob ng factory.

Once I got inside, I observed the location.

This is a huge one-story building with lots of machinery and storage rooms. Some windows are already broken, allowing sunlight to come in. A lot of dusts and webs. I can even see old shoes on the floors.

"Now, where are they?"

As my eyes are roaming around while I'm slowly walking to the center of this place, I stopped after I heard a sound closely on my right side. The sound was like---someone stepped to a broken glass---pero hindi ako lumingon. I just used my peripheral vision and smirked.

Nagsisimula na ata ang ritwal.

"O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?"

Muli ako nakarinig ng kaparehong tunog subalit nasa kaliwang banda na. Pasimple akong tumingin doon. My peripheral vision is great. Although, I can't see anyone or even their figures. But one thing's for sure, they're everywhere.

I closed my eyes and make sure that I am alert yet relax. I didn't even flinch or get distracted a little when I heard another sound coming from my back. And again to the right. Then, another one to the left. Hindi na lang pagtapak sa mga basag na salamin at kaluskos ang naririnig ko ngayon. I can now hear footsteps. No. Not like they're walking. More like---running. Like a ninja run. Even with eyes closed, this time I can see figures, like, white, fast, moving figures. And they're coming. They're near.
