Curse

Chapter 41

I walk slowly upstairs. Hindi gaanong makalakad pero hindi ko naman maramdaman ang sakit.

I walk towards the room in the last part. Alam kong nandito sila. Hindi lang si Lancelot kundi pati ang ibang natitira.

I could take them all. Besides, mahina na si Lancelot. The only reason he survived is because of Elvy. That man is strong kaya nagagawa ni Lancelot ang gusto niya. Pero ngayon na wala na si Elvy?

He's like a person who lost both his arms. Mahina na siya at hindi makakalaban.

I only open the door slightly. Kinagat ko ang lock ng smoke grenade bago itapon sa loob ng kwarto.

I lost everything now. Her, my father, my sanity. What am I supposed to do now? What would happen after this?

I've killed many. Men, women, children.

Isinuot ko ang mask bago pumasok sa loob ng kwarto. I saw a few of them crawling while gripping their chest, trying to catch their breath.

"W-Wag..." pakiusap ng isa nang makita ako.

Tinignan ko ang katana na hawak. Instead of using it, I used my gun instead. I need to end them painlessly. Those who begged. Those who look like they repented.

But who am I to judge? Who am I to say that they've repented? I'm not a God.

"AACHHHH!" Sigaw ng isa nang paulit ulit ko itong sinaksak.

"P-Pakiusa--"

I slit his throat. Sumirit ang dugo at ang iba ay napunta pa sa mukha ko. Tumayo ako at tumingin sa paligid. The smoke slowly fading letting me see the horror I've left behind.

Blood. Bodies, lifeless.

I heard a mumbling from a distance. Nakita ko si Lancelot na yakap yakap ang kapatid niya na binaril ko kanina.

"H-He didn't do..."

"He didn't do a-anything..."

"He...was innocent..."

I heard him mumble. His shoulders are shaking meaning he's crying and trembling badly while holding his sibling.

Or maybe his own son.

Humarap ito saakin. Kita ko ang hinagpis sa mga mata niya habang nakatingin saakin at yakap yakap ang walang buhay na bata.

"He didn't do anything! How could you!" He shouted.

I crouched down so we could face each other at the same level.

"She also didn't do anything right? So how could you do that to her?" I asked back, remembering what she did to Leora.

"You k-killed my son..." he whispered.

So it was his son. I didn't know he was able to love someone and have a child. A monster like him.

But who am I to speak anyway? I also fell in love with someone. A monster like me also loved and felt happiness.

He bowed down to his own son. Tumayo siya at tumalikod para ihiga ang anak. "Y-You started this fight, Sanchez..."he whispered again.

"And I will end it." He said. He turned around to look at me, his eyes flaring with anger.

"Die, you bitch! Now!" He yelled, expecting his men would come out and kill me.

I stared at him lazily. His eyes that were filled with rage quickly died when he realized no one's coming out to kill me.

"You think someone's coming?" I mocked.
