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
APOLLO "Move," I said coldly and stared at her teary eyes. She shook her head habang pinipigilan niyang tumulo yung mga luha niya. "Move or I'll force my way out," I added with a cold voice. Move, Cass. I’m almost at my limit. She slowly moved her hand away pero nakasandal pa rin siya sa pinto kaya hindi pa rin ako makakalabas. "We'll talk out things later with them so just let me go out," I said with a cold voice She wiped her tears and stared at me. "You saved me every time I brought myself into danger. Wala ba akong magagawa ng wala ka?" she said "
CASSIOPEIALast night, we talked about what happened and I almost choked when Apollo mentioned about how he gave me CPR. Okay lang naman talaga sana yun eh kaso naalala ko yung nangyari sa amin. I know my face turned red by now pero I’m trying to compose myself kasi sigurado akong hindi ako titigilan ni Avelox pag nalaman niyang may nangyari samin. It’s been so long since I tasted pig meat kaya I enjoyed eating talaga. Isa pa, apat lang kami at marami pa dito so I thought them how to preserve food by smoking. I don’t really know if it’ll work but yun yung ginawa ng mga sinaunang tao bago pa naimbento ang refrigerator.Right now, I'm in my lab preparing the materials I need to conduct this research. I still need frozen samples at wala naman yung problema kasi nasa labas lang naman sila. But the challenging part here is kailangan kong kumuha ng sa
