Pangtatlumpu't-dalawa.

Pantatlumpu't-dalawa.

He's gone.

I cried. At first Rona and Ria still don't know why I'm crying but when they look at Luke nalaman agad nila. Narinig ko rin ang iyak nila.

Nang makita ko ang mata ni Luke na namumula at parang may cataracts. I know he got turned already. When? I don't know maybe he died when we all think he's just sleeping and got turned fast too. Damn that was too fast. Hours ago we're still talking to him. Now he's gone.

"Oh my gosh! He's gone." I can hear Rona says that like a pirated  CD. She can still accept it. Even me!

I looked at Luke. His looking at us. His tied hands reaching for us. His acting like a lefter. Well he is now. But unlike those lefters. He's not that aggressive to attack and eat us. Kahit na naturned na siya mabait pa rin.

Pero nagpanic kaming tatlo ng tumayo ito mula sa kama. I immediately go to him to pinned him down on the bed. Binalot ko siya ng parang suman sa kumot para di siya makatayo. Ulo lang ang nakalabas sa kanya. He's struggling pero wala siyang magawa kasi nakahiga lang siya.

"Should we kill him?" Tanong ni Ria.

"No!" Nagkatinginan kami ni Rona ng sumagot kami ng pareho.

"Then should we tell the guys that he died and turned already?" Tanong ulit ni Ria. No one answer.

"We can't keep it from them. Sooner malalaman nilang wala na si Luke." Ria said.

I nodded. The three of us is quiet for a while. Nakatayo lang kami habang pinapanuod si Luke na magstruggle sa pagkakabalot sa kanya sa kumot. Kunting paglalaban pa makakawala rin siya sa kumot since hindi ko naman hinigpitan ang pagkakapulupot nito sa kanya. I'm afraid hindi siya makahinga ng maayos. 'Yeah right Kat! Really? Lefters don't breath anymore!'

Sabay-sabay kaming napapihit sa pinto ng biglang bumukas iyon kasabay ng pagkahulog ng kung ano sa sahig.

Sila Logan at Alex pala.

"Hey! Parang gulat na gulat kayo ah!" Natatawang sabi ni Alex. "Napakain niyo na si Luke? Napainom ng gamot." But no one answered.

"Holy shit!" Sigaw ni Logan. Nakita kong hinugot niya ang baril na nakasuksok sa tagiliran niya. Nakatitig rin siya sa likuran namin. Kaya lumingon ako. And in there I saw Luke walking towards to us. Mukhang siya ang nalaglag sa sahig kanina. Kaya nakawala siya sa kumot.

"He got turned?!" Alex shouted.

I looked back at Logan. He's ready to kill him. Tumakbo ako papunta kay Luke.

"Kat! What the hell!" Sigaw ni Logan.

When I reached Luke niyakap ko siya mula sa likuran.

"No Logan please. Don't kill him." I said trying to fight my tears that are threatening to spill.

"Kat, we should! He might hurt us!" Aburidong sigaw ni Logan.

"Let's just locked out him here." I said.

"Kat? Are you crazy?" Logan asked me.

"Logan please. He's Luke! He's our friend!" Sigaw ko.

"And he's after our flesh too!" Sigaw rin niya.

"But we can't hurt him! He suffered a lot before!"

"But he will hurt us!"

We're shouting to each other.

"Logan!" I angrily scream cry.

"Kat, look. I know what you're feeling. He's our friend and shit but look he's not on his right mind the only thing on his head right now is to eat people! We should kill him even if it hurts."
