Against the God: End of the Gifteds (HIATUS)

61

[Rox]

Kasabay ng pag-ulan ay ang pagsipol ko. I'm walking in the hallway and stopped when i saw my reflection in the window. 

My make up is really messy. My hair that is in braid is so dry because of the bleach I used. My body is filled with tattoos, some are scars. The lightning strikes, I showed a grin.

I'm so beautiful!

I'm definitely the most beautiful in our family right now, I should hold the title of the beauty of Portugal!

Marahan akong napahawak sa mukha ko. Muntik ng tumama sa 'kin ang patalim na nakalimutan kong hawak-hawak ko. I chuckled at myself, I'm really clumsy. I'm so cute.

Tonight will be perfect. Hindi mawala ang nakakurbang ngisi sa labi ko. Ngayong gabi... matutupad ang isa sa mga pangarap ko. 

This stupid academy will finally get destroyed!

Umikot-ikot ako sa pasilyo, pasayaw na naglalakad. I started humming.

"An academy that can't be mine, is better off destroyed~" I sang. "A family that can't be mine, is better off dead~"

I continued singing as I walk. Uncle Lor is definitely here, and probably, in front. Pinipigilan ko ang sarili kong matawa.

Inakala niya siguro ay roon kami magmumula. Pero ngayon, siguradong alam na niya. He definitely knows by now that there's a traitor— and that's me.

Grandpa Bora's gift is the one managing this academy. It's one of his tricks. But the thing is, that magician, told us, his family, this trick.

Mali ang lahat, mali ang alam nila. It's not like it's impossible to get into the academy, actually, it's quite the opposite. The academy doesn't change it's location. It's more like, there are plenty of entrance located in every spaces in this world. 

Iba-iba lang ang oras ng pagbukas at pagsara nito. Kaya mahirap hanapin o pasukin ang paaralan dahil dito. Hindi ko na napigilan ang pagtawa ko.

Please forgive your favorite granddaughter for revealing one of your tricks, grandpa. I'll make it up to you... 

I'm hopping, moving my head from left to right, singing. I let my group run havoc here in the left wing. Nauna sila sa 'kin.

I know that we have to do something here... but I'll do something first. Since I'm already here in the left wing, I'll go there first.

Biglang kumidlat kaya nagulat ako. Natigil ako sa pagkanta at inis na napatingin sa bintana. Itinaas ko ang gitna kong daliri bago umirap at maglakad.

Fucking lightning, ruining my mood.

I haven't seen a single student since we came here which sucks. I want to paint the walls red with their bloods, I'm sure my grandpa will be thrilled. But since they're not here, I'll use a different blood instead.

Umangat ang tingin ko sa harapan ko nang mapagtanto kong nandito na 'ko. Lumawak ang ngisi ko sa puntong pati ang mga mata ko ay nakangiti.

With a knife on my hand, I gently touched the doorknob. Bigla akong tumahimik at dahan-dahan itong binuksan.

"I'm coming in," I said with a soft and innocent voice.

No one greeted me back. There's no other noise beside the rain. Mabilis ko siyang nakita, at mabilis din akong lumapit sa kaniya. Nakatapat sa bintana ang kama niya kaya nakita ko siya kaagad. 

Tanging ang liwanag ng buwan ang nagsisilbing liwanag sa silid, medyo madilim pa nga dahil sa pag-ulan, pero hindi ito naging sagabal dahil nakikita ko pa rin siya.

I have a wide grin on my face as I look down on him, lying on the bed, unconscious.

"Hi... Nyx."

The lightning strikes, followed by a thunder.

He's full of bandages and bruises. He looks like he's already dead.

"Hey, hey, are you still alive?" I scoffed, knowing that he wouldn't be able to answer.

I pouted, holding my knife. "Hey, Nyx. Have you heard? Gin is dead..." Malungkot ang boses ko. "Nabawasan na ang Generation of Prodigies."

"If someone had to die, it should've been you, don't you think so? Maybe Queen too. Among us, you two are the weakest." I kept talking, as if he'll answer me nor hear me. "Big bro Cross will come back soon, he'll join the war and he'll definitely kill me."

Pinupunas-punasan ko ang blade ng patalim. "You're weaker than me, but still one of us. You're almost dead, you wouldn't be angry if..." I stopped touching my blade. "I make it easier for you, right?"

"Of course you won't be angry, you'll even pray for me, right, Nyx?" I chuckled. "Yes, you will be glad."

Inayos ko ang pagkakahawak ko sa patalim. Marahan ko munang hinawakan si Nyx at inayos ang buhok niya. I slowly leaned towards him and gave him a kiss. I felt his soft lips with a small cut touch mine. 

I felt my heart beating fast, I blushed. Tinapik ko siya.

"Come on, Nyx, stop seducing me." I softly laughed, shy. "You're really cute. Really, really cute. But you know, I like Gin more. He's more charming, so I can't be with you, okay?" Humigpit ang pagkakahawak ko sa patalim at tinutok ko 'to sa dibdib niya.

"I know that I'm really really pretty and hot, and I kinda felt you wanted to fuck me when you look at me before." Kinikilig ako, hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti. "But I really can't. I'm really loyal you know..."

But I might have let you hit.

"Well then, it's getting late now, Nyx. Stay with Gin for now. Pray to God that we meet again in the next life, by then, maybe we could've ended up together."

I readied myself. Naghanda ako ng pwersa. Hawak-hawak ng dalawang kamay ko ang patalim na nakatutok sa dibdib ng natutulog na lalaki. Mabilis at mataas ang pagkakaangat ko para sa presyon.

Patuloy ang malakas na pag-ulan. Parang bumagal ang oras habang unti-unting bumaba ang kamay ko.

I felt it. Something that I didn't felt when I entered the room.

The lightning once strikes, my body automatically stopped. Nahinto ang pagtuloy ng patalim. Nagsitaasan ang mga balahibo ko sa katawan sa presensyang bigla kong naramdaman. Dumaan ang malakas na kulog, kasabay ng paglaglag ng puso ko dahil sa kaba. 

Namimilog ang mga mata ko, puno ng takot. Ramdam ko ang mabigat na presyon mula sa likuran ko.

"What are you doing to my brother?"
