Chapter 15: Arya's Angels

Marky's POV

I had a feeling that something was going to be wrong today...

And I was right.

"Bwisit! Bakit ayaw mong maging malambot." Sinuklay ko ang buhok ko na medyo mahaba na kaya parang hairstyle na ni Cole Sprouse. But that wasn't the only thing that made my day frustrating and worrisome.

Biglaang pumasok si Lynch sa aking kuarto, umagang-umaga pa, na basa sa kaniyang pawis at mukhang natataranta. Nagbuntong hininga muna siya bago sinabi, "It's Arya. Something's wrong with her."

So, long story short, nandito ako sa kuarto ni Arya kasama si Lynch at si Kuya Nero, which I don't even know why he's here because last time I checked, both of him and Lynch hated each other's guts. But all the hate was forgotten nang nakita namin si Arya na walang malay.

"Guys, we need to take her to the hospital." Both Nero and I nodded. Hinawakan ni Lynch ang katawan ni Arya at binuhat, bubuksan sana ni Nero ang pinto kaso biglang may tumawag sa kanya, "I don't have time for this." Hindi niya sinagot ang tawag at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad nang biglang ako naman ang tinawagan, "What the hell? You have got to be kidding me." Hindi ko man lamang tiningnan kung sino ang tumatawag at agad agad na idinecline ito.

Sa wakas, nabuksan na ni Kuya Nero ang pinto kaso...may tumawag na naman, pero kay Lynch. "Is someone pulling a prank? Marky, pakisagot." Nagpatuloy siyang lumabas at lalampasan na sana niya si Kuya Nero nang sinabi niyang, "Lynch, stop!"

Something was definitely wrong.

"Shit! Too close." Dahan dahan na lumakad papalikod si Lynch. Indeed, something was wrong in the entrance.

Ibinalik ko ang aking atensyon sa tawag, "Hello? Kung sino man ito, hindi po kayo masasagot ni Lynch dahil-"

He laughed. A chill went down my spine and goosebumps were all over me. "You're all gonna die."

I swallowed the bile threatening to come out. "Lynch, Kuya, listen." Ibinulong ko sa kanila habang inilagay ko ang tawag sa loudspeaker, "Hello. I hope you don't mind me poisoning your little princess." Halos hindi na makahinga si Lynch dahil pulang-pula na siya sa galit. It was such a sight.

"But don't worry, I only poisoned her." Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya, ONLY?! At sino ba ang psychopath na ito para paglaruan ang buhay ni Arya?

Ipinatong ni Lynch si Arya sa upuan malapit sa bintana at lumapit na naman sa kinatatayuan ko.

"Hayop ka!" I had to hold him down dahil susugurin niya sana yung cellphone ko, eh ano naman ang maitutulong nun?

"The only way you can save her is if you play my game. Think of it as a....human experiment. Remember, the longer that she stays asleep or unconscious the faster she dies." And then he ended the call.

Kuya Nero was in the door, "There is a contraption here, once any of us stepped foot on it, one of us will most likely die."

"So, what do we do?" I asked.

"We wait for him to tell us his game, we have no choice."

And then, I understood that whatever comes on our way, we will survive it. Not because here in this room has three conscious above average brains. Not because we all care for Arya dearly. But because...they have me.

"Let's think this through very carefully." The three of us studied the door, figuring out a way to actually get the hell out of here.

Bigla naman na nagring lahat nang cellphone namin, sabay sabay, mula sa iisang number.
