Half Blood Reaper (Soul Time 2)

THE LAST GIFT I

The Last Gift I

MAVIRIL

I quickly opened my eyes as I started to recall what happened yesterday, or maybe last night. The blur on my sights is starting to fade away as I started to see everything clearly. I don't know if It is all a dream because I'm inside the hospital again. Did my soul astrals in different dimension? Those monsters are nothing but a sort of fiction, right? Perhaps, my stress is affecting the imagination of my mind.

I sat down on the bed and someone moved the curtains aside. Those are the police again. What is this? A deja Vu?

Then, my eyes went to Ash who is seriously staring at me for too long. His arms are crossed over his chest and his one eyebrow is raising as if I did a mistake again or I did something that he didn't like.

"Tumawag na ako ng mga pulis para mag-assist sa iyo dahil nakita ka ng isang lalaki na nakahandusay sa labas ng eskuwelahan," he spoke. He sounds mad. "Ano ba talaga ang nangyayari sa iyo, Maviril? Hindi ba at sinabi ko sa iyo kapag may nangyari na naman sa iyo, kukunin na kita sa ayaw at gusto mo?"

Lagot.

Kahit na gusto niyang magalit sa akin ay hindi niya magawa. Kalmado pa rin siya at pinipilit ang sarili niyang kontrolin ang sarili niyang galit. Pero binanggit niya na nakita raw ako ng isang lalaki. At si Kreisayne, nasaan na si Kreisayne? Naalala ko na sinundan ko ang lalaking may pangalan na Warren para malaman kung saan niya tinago si Kreisayne. Hindi ko nga alam kung buhay pa o patay na iyon.

"Sinong lalaki ang tinutukoy mo?" mahinahong tanong ko sa kaniya. Lahat naman kami ay napatingin sa isang lalaki na nakasuot lahat ng itim at nakapamulsang nakangiti sa dalawang pulis.

Hindi siya marunong ngumiti. Parang hinila lang ang magkabilaan ng bibig niya.

"Hello, police officers. I came here to ask few questions about this little miss on the bed." Then, he tried to smile again. But his smile quickly faded as he returned his gaze at me and he smirked.

"H-hindi!" I quickly protested. "H-huwag ninyo ako hayaan kausapin siya! M-may kakaiba siyang kapangyarihan tapos pinatay niya si Kreisayne...si Kreisayne pinatay niya!"  My voice is shivering as my hands became cold all of sudden because of his strange presence.

I'm panting while looking at him directly to his eyes. Even he's trying to cover his own dirt, his eyes will remain suspicious and meaningful. Maybe he can hide ito to everyone around here, but he can't hide it to me.

Nalilitong napatingin sa aming dalawa ang dalawang pulis na nag-iimbestiga. Napasapo sa noo si Ash na halatang hindi makapaniwala.

"Ano ka ba, Mav?" pigil sa inis na sabi ni Ash. "Siya ang nagdala sa iyo rito. Anong kapangyarihan ang sinasabi mo? At sino si Kreisayne? Umamin ka nga, may sakit ka ba sa utak o nag-drugs ka?"

I frowned at him. He was the one who brought me here? And they said I was found outside of the school. What is he planning to do? If he killed Kreisayne, why didn't he kill me?

"You are supposed to be thanking him not accusing him for killing someone. And whoever that Kreisayne you are talking about, you are only dreaming. Baka kailangan mo ng pahinga. Masyado ka nang maraming iniisip. At dadalhin na kita sa bahay ko—"

"No," I quickly interrupted. "Ayos lang ako, baka nga pagod lang ito. Gusto ko na rin magpahinga sa unit ko, Ash. Pasensiya na. Pinag-alala pa kita. Nahimatay lang siguro ako dahil sa pagod kanina at tinulungan ako ng lalaking iyan." Kasabay niyon ang pagtingin ko sa seryosong mukha niya. Hindi ko alam kung nabanggit ba ni Kreisayne ang pangalan ng lalaking ito o sadyang nakalimutan ko na pagkatapos ng nangyari.
