/27/ Astral
[Cloud Enriquez's POV]
IISA lang ang iniisip namin ngayong lahat, we're going to die, for real. Wala na kami sa Akasha's Game at pare-parehas kaming naninigas ngayon sa lamig, magkakadikit ang bawat likod ng isa at sinisigurong tumitibok pa rin ang aming mga puso. But my heart stopped when she was taken away from us—from me.
We all know that it wasn't part of the plan, Karen betrayed us, and she sacrificed us for Jill. No, she's making her own moves without us, and the reasons are probably because she can see the future, we don't know what she's thinking. She has the freewill to manipulate the events, pero hindi naman sa lahat ng pagkakataon ay maaaring magbago ang hinaharap na ayon sa gusto natin, that's why I'm frightened for what might happen.
"F-f-f-finnix, wala na bang ilalakas 'yang apoy mo?" It's Jing's voice, she's shaking terribly, siya ang kasandal ko. Matapos kaming iwanan ni Dean ay sinusubukan naming iligtas ngayon ang sarili namin. The Kahvals are still out there, and I am sure that they won't stop finding us. For how long we can hide and stay alive—I don't know.
"J-jing, n-nanghihina n-na ko," Finnix answered. We got our powers back but we eventually became weak. Jing was too tired to recover fast because she saved us from the avalanche. Kaming dalawa ni Cairo ang nagche-check ng perimeter kanina kung may malapit bang kalaban sa amin ngunit ngayon ay parehas na kaming mahina upang gamitin ang kapangyarihan namin. Vince tried to shift into a wolf to haunt food for us, and he did, kaya kahit papaano ay nagkalaman ang tiyan namin kanina, but now he's also too weary to move. Si Otis na lang 'ata ang may natitirang lakas sa'min ngayon kung may lalabanan.
We managed to find a hideout, isang kweba kung saan ligtas mula sa malakas na paghampas ng niyebe.
Seconds later we heard a loud siren outside, terrifying sounds of wind from the helicopters, lights beaming all over the dark place. We know who it is. Tama si Jing, it happened before, it happened in Mnemosyne Institute, but now we don't have anywhere to run, and we are more terrified than ever. The Kahvals are different from Memoire and we are dealing now with a wide-world cult.
