#TCS25: Keep Your Faith

Amythee Hope's POV

"In a count of three, all of you must be up!"

Napataklob ako ng tainga dahil sa lakas at lalim 'nung boses na narinig ko. Inaantok pa ako! Napa-ayos ako ng pagkakahiga pagilid 'nung naramdaman ko 'yung sakit ng katawan ko. Napakagat ako sa labi ko dahil do'n.

"ONE!"

Mas lalo akong nairita dahil sa ingay na naririnig. Why can't the voice just shut up? It's too early! I could still feel the cold breeze! For goodness' sake, I'm pretty sure the sun is not even up! Why does someone wake up this early!?

Gusto ba n'ya ng prize? P'wes wala ako n'on! H'wang s'yang magulo!

"TWO!"

Napa-upo ako ng bangag pa dahil sa ingay na hindi ko matiis. I felt the strands of my hair blocking my view that's why I tugged some of it on my ear. I slapped myself lightly just to wake me up a little.

And... who in their right mind would wake up someone this early? It's like a thunder roaring in a clearly bright night sky! If they don't want to sleep, they should let others sleep! Sino ba kasi 'yon?

Akala n'ya matatakot ako? Hindi ano! Piling tao lang naman ako takot at isa na ro'n 'yung mga— OH MY GOSH!

Kaagad akong napatapak sa lupa at nanlaki ang mga mata 'nung makita si Pierce na nakatingin sa akin na parang nangungusap na patayuin ko na s'ya at dahil buhay namin ang nakataya. I was so shocked for a second that all I did was stare.

The gorgeous Pierce looking fresh early in the morning—looking at me... a crackhead mess!?

Kaagad akong napatayo at nasuklay sa sariling buhok, "Tayo ka na Pierce tapos magsalita ka rin kung may sasabihin ka, and you can fix your hair and face... if there's even something to fix." I told him super-fast like I was raping.

He got up and chuckled amusingly. "Good morning, annoyed one." He greeted with a small smile. Kaagad akong napa-iwas ng tingin at saka napakaltok sa sarili. You are an embarrassing creature, Amythee! I told  myself. Nakakahiya.

He stood up firmly and I fixed myself a little and that was when we heard the voice boomed again.

"THREE!"

And right after that, Rebel was revealed upon us. His eyes dangerously darted at us. "You'll have fifteen minutes to do your morning routines. And the partner's command is still effective. But Amythee will be the one to give orders now. Understood?"

Sobrang strict at sobrang lagong ng boses ni Rebel.

"Yes!" I was the only one who answered because I forgot to instruct Pierce. Napapikit ako sa sariling kasalanan.

Napalingon si Rebel kay Pierce na para bang siya 'yung may kasalanan. I even heard my heartbeat drumming inside my ears. "Pierce, please retort." I gulped so hard that my dry throat felt painful.

"Yes." Pierce answered in a firm voice. The kind that's not intimidated yet not bragging. Parang normal lang na boses n'ya, medyo malalim lang talaga.

Rebel shifted his eyes on me, I stood up straight. "Time's ticking as far as I'm concerned." He reminded while looking at his wrist watch. Napapikit ako ng saglit dahil pakiramdam ko talaga hindi pa ready 'yung utak at pati na rin 'yung katawan ko sa mangyayari ngayon.

"Pierce get all the things you need and proceed to the silver tent #2." I instructed not that vague not that detailed. Umalis na si Rebel matapos no'n at paniguradong didiretso 'yun sa iba pang mga tent.
