The Seed Of Azrael

From The Dark

*From The Dark*

“Dream, may sakit ka ba?”

Nag-angat ako ng paningin mula sa kinakain ko. Nakatingin sa akin sina Mommy at Daddy na parang nag-aalala. Kill just looks at me puzzled, na parang curious kung anong nangyayari. Umiling ako.

“I’m fine, why?”

Mom reached out her hand and touched my forehead. “Wala ka namang lagnat. Bakit ka namumutla?”

“Namumutla ako?” napahawak ako sa mukha ko. “Nung isang araw pa ‘to ah. Ba’t ako namumutla?”

“May problema ka ba, Dream?” Dad asked to which I instantly shook my head.

“Wala naman po. Ayos lang naman ako.”

“Sigurado ka? You’re usually not that quiet and pale. May gumugulo ba sa’yo? I think you’re troubled, Dream. What’s with you?”

Napabuntong hininga ako. Bakit ko nga ba nakalimutang hindi sila pang-karaniwang tao? Minsan, sa sobrang normal ng kilos nila sa harap ko, nakakalimutan kong extraordinary humans sila. Na pareho silang imortal. “Seriously, Dad, Mom. Okay lang ako. Pagod lang siguro ako.”

“Well if you say so.” Mom shrugged. “Finish your dinner then go take a rest. H’wag kang masyadong nagpapagod.”

“Opo.”

Iilan lang ang mga estudyante na nakatambay sa hallway nang papasok ako ng building. It didn’t looked like a good vibe to me nang pumasok ako doon lalo na nang makarinig ako ng mga sigawan sa malapit lang. Habang papalapit ako ng papalapit, palakas siya ng palakas.

And damn was I right.

*SMASH!*

It was Dark smashing Creed on a locker. Paulit-ulit niyang sinasapak si Creed na hindi lumalaban. I stood there in awe, watching him wanting to kill Creed. Then enter Katherine na umaawat kay Dark. Damn this set up.

“Hanggang d’yan lang ang kaya mo, Dark?” Creed smirked.

Humigpit ang hatak ni Dark sa kwelyo ni Creed. “If I want to, I can fvcking kill you with one snap. You’re lucky that we’re in the wrong place.”

I sighed as he continues to punch Creed. Bakit ko nga ba hinahayaan lang ‘to? I can wish to kill him. Yeah. I wish he bleeds until he dies.

“What…”

My brow creased in confusion? Nanghihina siyang bumagsak sa sahig. And then he coughed. He coughed blood. Next thing I heard was Anael crying beside me. “Nasasaktan si Anael, Dream. Masakit.” :'(

Oh fvck.

Napatingin sa akin si Dark. He keeps coughing blood. Shit. I forgot that Anael feels what Dark feels. Oh shit, damn! I wish it stops, I wish it stops please!

Yumakap si Anael sa’kin. No one seems to notice since na kay Dark ang atensyon nila. He stops coughing but he’s clutching his heart. Napalunok ako. I do have the power to kill him. As much as I wanted to, hindi pwede dahil hindi ko kayang masaktan si Anael. I don’t know why but I love this thing already. I love Anael already.

“Hey, Creed. You a’rayt?”

“Yeah.” He smirked slash grin saka niya ako sinabayan sa paglalakad. “Quite a scene eh?”

“What’s the matter with the both of you? Why did he—OWW!” napasigaw ako sa gulat nang may humawak sa pulso ko, spun me around and I landed into Dark’s embrace. “What the? Bitawan mo nga ako!”
