"You deserve an ample punishment."

That was his last words until I saw myself being dragged out of the kitchen. Ample punishment? For a small scratch? That's a joke, right? I mean, it's just a cut. Mas terible pa itong sugat ko mula sa tama ng baril, ah! And kinakaladkad niya pa ako. Tsk! Pilit ko itong pinipigilan without giving a lot of force with my injured leg.

"Hey! San mo ko dadalhin? Stop dragging me, you demon!" The pang of guilt I felt a while ago abruptly vanished. Napalitan ito ng inis. Better.

Everyone, house cleaners and guards, who saw us, froze. They didn't move a single muscle. Mukhang gising na sila dahil pasimula na ang araw. And me? Paumpisa pa lang ang araw ko ay sira na agad ito. I heard a few gasps. Weird. Because mostly they're starring at the demon's bleeding cut. Ngayon lang ba sila nakakita ng demonyong nasugatan sa pisngi? Don't worry fellas. You will get used to it. Bibigyan ko pa siya ng maraming ganyan. And, for a free service.

I became a cursing machine when we reached the staircase and he lifts me up in a bridal carry, again! I think this is getting too common. I keep reciting my death threats for him but he just ignored me with his blank expression. Damn! And I thought mapapatay ko na siya sa kusina kanina. Everything can really be fucked up even at the very last minute. Kaya ko namang makawala but I need to use my legs and sacrifice my stitched wound. Which, I will not allow.

"What? You're gonna throw me up here? Is that your stupid punishment?!" I shouted as we reached the second floor. Matalim niya naman akong tinignan.

"Shut up. Or I'll consider your suggestion." Kalmado nitong saad. I'm not even suggesting! Grrr.

Pumasok kami sa kwartong ginamit ko. The room I slept in last night and the other night. He tossed me on the soft bed and I even bounced a little. Umupo ako at tinignan siya ng masama. And what the hell are we doing here in connection with the freaking punishment?! A said punishment in a bedroom? Not a good combination. But before I panic, which I don't, I pushed all the dirty thoughts. I started planning for the possible combat attack that I can use with a less coordination with my legs. In case, he'll do something that I will not like.

I stopped over thinking ng kumuha ito ng first aid kit, the same he used last night. Umupo ito sa kama. Takang tinignan ko ito ng inabutan niya ako ng cotton ball. "What will I do with that?" Taas-kilay at mataray kong tanong.

"Eat it." He said sounding bored.

"What?!" I shrieked and he hissed. Damn! Ako ba pinagloloko nito?

"Of course you'll be using this to clean the wound." As a matter of fact nitong sabi. "This will be your punishment." He added. And I crossed my arms over my chest and look at him with a smug.
