LORELEI
MY EYELIDS felt droopy. I also could not stop myself from yawning. I did not get enough sleep last night. Matapos marinig ang tune ng Mary Had a Little Lamb, I had been thinking kung kanino phone galing ang tunog.
"Are you okay, Lori?"
Nagbalik sa kasalukuyan ang aking kamalayan. Sa sobrang dami ng iniisip ko, hindi ako agad nakakain ng breakfast na inihanda nina Emeraude at Rosetta. Nakapalibot kami sa mahabang mesa sa dining room. Nasa kaliwa ko si Alistair habang nasa kanan sina Jamie at Loki.
"'Di ka ba nakatulog nang mahimbing kagabi, Lori?" nakangiting tanong ni Jamie bago kagatin ang kinakaing hotdog. "Dahil ba 'yan sa nakita nating wraith?"
"P-Parang gano'n na nga." Pilit akong ngumiti. Hindi ko matukoy kung bakit, pero parang hindi ako komportableng makipag-usap sa kaniya. Dahil ba siya ang nakita kong pagala-gala kaninang madaling-araw?
Whoever dialed Moriarty's number was someone in this house. Kung gagamitan ko ng process of elimination . . .
It could not be Loki. Siya mismo ang humahabol kay Moriarty—unless may undiagnosed mental illness siya at episodes ng multiple personality disorder. That would be a shocking twist.
It could not be Alistair either. The Moriarty cases began two years ago. Kasama ko pa noon ang childhood friend ko sa dati naming high school. There was no way that he could get himself involved in an organization steeped in blood miles away.
But it could be among the three other girls with me: Jamie, Rosetta, and Emeraude.
Ayaw kong isipin na si Jamie ay connected kay Moriarty. Baka nataon na nakasalubong ko siya sa hallway ng second floor kaninang madaling araw. But what Alistair said more than a month ago was pestering me.
"I saw it. How quickly she changes her façade . . . here's more to her than meets the eye."
She might be hiding a secret, but hopefully not her affiliation with Moriarty's organization. Despite how she treated me the past few months, gusto kong isipin na she was truly one of us.
If not her, it would be between Emeraude and Rosetta. The former is the student council president being used by Luthor as a front while the latter's a happy-go-lucky girl who loved hunting ghosts.
Ugh! Bakit pa kasi ako lumabas ng kuwarto? Kung hindi ako bumaba, sana'y hindi ko narinig ang tune ng children's song at hindi ako naguguluhan ngayon. Ayaw kong pagsuspetyahan ang mga taong malapit sa akin. Unfair para sa kanila. Unfair din sa akin kung tutuusin.
