Half Blood Reaper (Soul Time 2)

THE LAST GIFT II

The Last Gift II

MAVIRIL

I remained silent for a moment while staring at him blankly. I returned my gaze at the sticky black liquid that died on this guy's hands. He has strong power, not normal strength like humans. Why is he doing here anyway? And he had mentioned that every Friday night, they are haunting monsters. What monsters? Like the melting-monster here who died?

He mentioned the gender of monster he had killed. How did he know the gender of monster if the whole appearance isn't identifiable? He knows a lot about unidentified creatures. At ang ayaw ko sa lahat ng lalaki ay napakamayabang. Seriously, he is definitely mayabang.

Rude, indeed. Hindi ko alam kung anong klaseng tao ang buwiset na ito at nagawa niya akong kuwelyuhan. Hindi niya ba alam na babae ang ginano'n niya? Hindi ko alam kung sumusunod lang siya sa patakaran ng gender equality o talagang ganiyan na siyang tao?

"You aren't supposed to be here," he muttered as he started to step forward. As he started to take a step forward, I started to walk backwards. I could still sense a strange feeling from him. What is this? Mayroong kakaiba sa kaniya na pamilyar ngunit nakakatakot.

"D-diyan ka lang!" kinakabahan na banta ko sa kaniya.

"You don't know what kind of stupidity that you are trying to enter," he coldly continues.

I continued to step backwards as I my back accidentally bumped the tree. Frightened, I stared at his eyes. His hands was covered by a black shadows of flame. Sandali lang, papatayin niya ba ako? Lapitin ba talaga ako ng disgrasya? Bakit ba kasi siya narito? Hindi niya ba alam na dinala ako ng lalaking may pangalan na...

Hindi ko matandaan ngunit may lalaking nagdala sa akin dito. Nakalimutan ko na ang kaniyang pangalan ngunit tanda ko pa ang kaniyang mukha.

I closed my eyes while still trembling because of his psychopathic presence. Hindi man lang siya kumukurap! Parang papatayin niya talaga ako sa diretso ng titig niya.

He stopped few meters away from me as he sighed.

"Even you try to hide, the contract will still push you to me. This is the problem," he calmly added. I opened my eyes when I heard his low tone of voice. Bakit umamo kaunti ang boses niya? Sa katunayan, hindi naman malalim ang boses niya. Nakakatakot lang talaga siya. Malumanay kaunti ang kaniyang boses. Siguro marunong siyang kumanta.

I'm about to leave but he blocked my way by his right arm. He will pin me in his arms, I have to leave this place now. He will definitely kill me!

I forced a smile to him but he just remained his poker face. Sige, ano na ang gagawin ko?

Suddenly, the ground turned dark same as my surroundings. I heard his miserable sigh for the second time. Hinawakan nito ang braso ko at hinila papalapit sa kaniya. Napasubsob ang aking mukha sa dibdib niya at narinig ko na lamang ang pagsiklab ng apoy sa aking likuran.

Sinunog niya ang puno?

"Ano ba, bitiwan mo nga ako!" sigaw ko at patuloy na nagprotesta ngunit hinawakan lamang nito ang ulo ko at inilapit pa lalo sa kaniya.

"How many times do I have to save your soul? Tch, be quiet." He saved me from what? Agad ko siyang itinulak at nakita ko ang itim na anino na nasusunog sa apoy na itinapon niya. Gumamit siya ng kapangyarihan para iligtas ako?
