"Cass" rinig kong tawag ni Avelox, minulat ko ang aking mga mata and I saw her in front of me. Nakatulog pala ako. I looked around and I realized it was just me and her.
"Me and Zavier will go hunt. I cooked food na. It's all set, baka matagalan kami kasi we are planning to get food as 1 week supply. We are all gonna stay here kasi maraming rooms dito tsaka hindi rin to malapit sa city." she explained, "Maybe bukas pa kami makakabalik, the city is quite far and we don't have cars and we can't make noise as well," she added
"Wait what? Bukas? Sobrang tagal naman," reklamo ko
I looked above the sky and the sun was nowhere to be found. I looked down and realized that the shadows are starting to fade. Pagabi na at ngayon pa talaga sila aalis?
"Don't worry, babalik kami.
ZAVIER'S POV "Ang hirap naman maghanap," reklamo ko "Kasi naman di rin naman natin alam kung saan tayo magsisimula knowing na all infrastructures are useless, tsaka isa pa may kalaban rin tayo. We’re really at disadvantage," Avelox answered and I nodded I sighed at patuloy na humahanap ng mga gamit na pwedeng gamitin at mga pagkain na pwedeng kainin. Although we have some spare meat sa mansion kailangan pa rin namin kumuha ng iba pa. Buti nalang tinuruan kami ni Cass paano mag preserve ng mga pagkain, ngayon ko lang narealize kung gaano ka importante ang refrigerator. We have to get unripe fruits as well for it to last for a couple of days. I can't believe na pwedeng mabuhay ang tao kahit walang internet or convenience store. Well, without Cass, maybe we'd be eating anything that looked edible right now. I’m glad we met with 2 famous
CASSIOPEIA’S POV "Ba't parang ang tagal nilang nakabalik?" I asked. Umaga na kasi tapos wala pa sila. I’m worried. "Baka pauwi na," he answered while gathering the body pieces of his butlers. Mayaman nga siya but he still has his respect, I adore him for that. "Di ka ba nag-aalala?" I asked and he stopped doing his stuff. That's basically a sign of annoyance. "Okay. Okay. I will stop talking," sabi ko I wonder if those morphing humans are still there. I peeked through the hole pero wala akong masyadong makita dahil sa dami ng dahon na nakapaligid sa mansion at sa tinulogan namin. Hindi naman masyadong malayo sa mansion ang tinulogan namin for now kaso ang kapal lang talaga ng mga halaman.
CASSIOPEIA "Good Morning Cass." bati ni Avelox sakin "Good morning." bati ko naman sa kanya I looked around but I saw no one except us inside Apollo's room. "Where are they?" tanong ko "Packing our things, we have to stay in another place kasi inatake na dito so I'm guessing they already marked this place." "Yeah, you're right, pero saan tayo pupunta?" sagot ko Napatingin ako sa mga sugat ko. They're healing fast. I tried to stood up and I smiled. Nakatayo na ako at nakakalakad but slow kasi medyo andun pa yung pain but the wound in my waist is still painful. Although my platelets did their job already, masakit pa rin.
CASSIOPEIA We've been staying here for almost a month now and so far wala namang masamang nangyari. We have spare clothes and I can do my stuff dahil my Science store dito. Buti nalang dito talaga kami nag stay. For the past few days, nagtutulungan sina Zavier at Apollo para linisin ang mga damo at ibang halaman na nandito sa store. Good thing may testing lab ang store na ito na pwede kong magamit. The lab is quite broken but the materials that I needed are all here but still, I need my microscope na nasa school because the microscope here has broken glass. My wounds are not completely healed yet but I can move na, di kagaya ng dati na kailangan pa talaga akong tulungan para makapunta sa isang lugar. My wounds are all closed but sometimes I can still the pain lalo na kapag natagalan sa paglakad. Most of the time, I stay here at the Sc
“I’m really sorry about that,”I apologized over and over to Apollo habang pabalik kami sa mall. I hugged him out of nowhere and I really think that he doesn’t feel like hanging out any more. “It’s fine, really. I was just surprised,” he replied I sighed and I looked away. I did hug him but I know it was just because of my hormonal imbalance. He handed me the exact thing I needed, of course my serotonin and endorphins would rise like crazy. Alam niyo na mga happy hormones natin pag tumataas, kung ano-ano na lang yung gagawin natin dahil sa kasiyahan. Sinundan ko siya papunta sa likuran ng mall and I saw barks of trees na naka-form na into square. Kulang nalang talaga yung screen. Did he make this when he walked away after asking me? I sat in front of him as he was try
“10th commandment?” Zavier asked as he was drying the smashed plants from the screen. Once it is dry, the paper will be done. So far we’ve made around 10 sheets but Avelox was boiling another batch sa loob. “So instead of finding a fruit for the ink, you found a new enemy? How … nice of you … Apollo and Cass,” reklamo ni Zavier habang nakangiti. Yes I know that smile, a smile of sarcasm. “Well as long as I’ll be researching in secret, we’ll be fine. We just need to show them that we are trying to survive, not trying to justify the humanity,” sagot ko naman “I agree,” Apollo said and Zavier sigh “Do you want me to investigate further?” he suddenly asked and I shook my head “No, walang lalapit sa facility. It’s suicide,” s
CASSIOPEIAWe've been walking for an hour already pero wala pa rin kaming nakita. Medyo masakit na rin yung paa ko sa kakalakad.Where are they hiding or should I say na san ba sila banda na nakasunod samin? All I know is we’re on tight spot after meeting that kid. I know for sure, we’ll be experiencing a lot of struggles, my research will take time now that all their eyes are on us."Let's go check that mall," he said while pointing at the mall in front of us. It was damn tall but it was broken. The roof fell off and it was just surrounded by a huge tree and some vines. The windows don't have glass anymore but are filled with plants and mushrooms."Great idea, let's go get some supplies if meron rin." I suggested and he noddedD
APOLLOShe was still unconscious.I carried her pabalik sa itaas na floor and laid her down.I performed chest compressions to mimic how her heart pumps. In that way, her blood circulation will be back in the normal state and deliver oxygen to the brain."Come on, don't die," I whisperedAfter I did my 30th compression, I lifted her chin up at huminga ng malalim."This is just CPR," I whispered again and did 2 rescue breaths or mouth-to-mouth to give her airAfter doing those rescue breaths, I did another 30 compressions again."Don't you dare die on me," I whispered while doing another 30 chest compressions
