Chapter 33: Men in black.
THIRD PERSON'S POV.
“SINO BA KAYONG MGA LINTIK KAYO?!” Jerome’s deep, fuming voice thundered almost all over the place as he stared at the men infront of them. Higit sa labinlima ang bilang ng mga nakaitim na lalaki ang nakapalagid sa kanilang lahat habang sapiitan silang nakasalampak sa buhangin. Their presence are most likely unwanted— obviously— and is clearly wasn’t expected. Sa totoo lang ay gulat na gulat nga silang lahat ng bigla na lang itong nagsulputan mula sa kung saan matapos umalis ng tatay at kapatid ni Katana at sapilitan silang isinalampak sa buhangin, tinalian ang mga kamay at kinuhanan ng mga gamit. And right now, Jerome has reached his limits. Halos nag-aapoy na siya sa galit habang ang ibang mga kasama ay nag-iiyakan at kinukumbinsi siyang manahimik dahil sa takot na baka saktanRelated chapters
The Runners Chapter 34: Gunpoint (Part 1).
THIRD PERSON’S POV. THE NEXT few minutes felt like Jerome’s death. Lahat sila ay nakatingin lang kay Belle at sa lalaking nakahawak sa kanya, kapwa nanlalaki ang mga mata. Jerome wants to do something. Anything to get Belle out of that man’s grip. Anything to save her friend out of the possible danger. He wants to save her, but he couldn’t even move an inch so how would he? Ilang segundo pa ang lumipas na tahimik lang ang lahat. Jerome was still trembling in anger on where he stood, the others were shaking and crying in fear, while Belle was helplessly caged in the man’s arms. Ganoon lang ang posisyon nilang lahat ng bigla na lamang batukan ng ‘boss’ ang lalaking may hawak kay Isabelle. “Tarantado!” sigaw nito dahilan ng panlalaki ng mga mata nilang lahat. “Sinabi nang
The Runners Chapter 35: Gunpoint (Part 2).
THIRD PERSON'S POV. BELLE WAS so stiff. Ramdam niya ang unti-unti nang pamamaga ng pisngi niya kung saan dumapo ang palad ng lalaki kanina, pero mas nangingibabaw sa kanya ang takot at kaba para sa kaligtasan nila. Tahimik lang silang nakaupo habang patuloy sa pag-andar ang van. Nakatulog na nga’t lahat-lahat si Remy kakaiyak pero hindi pa rin humihinto ang sasakyan. Dahil doon ay patuloy sa tahimik na pag-iyak sa tabi niya si Jehanna habang si Lynn naman ay panay ang linga sa paligid, sinusubukang hanapin kung saan isinakay ang iba pa nilang kasama. “Kailangan nating makaalis dito.” Belle slowly glanced at Lynn’s direction when she spoke. Maging si Jehanna ay natigil sa pag-iyak at taka siyang tinitigan. “We gotta escape. We gotta... We got
The Runners Chapter 36: Stubborn little girl.
THIRD PERSON’S POV. WHITE. ALL they could see is white. The floor was tiled and white, the walls and the ceiling are boring, bare and also painted white, the lights are all shining perfectly and there is no windows or anything but a huge mirror in one side of the room. It was a simple, clean room. But Belle, as well as the others, knew that there’s more to it. There’s more than what is shown in the surface. There’s something wrong. There’s something unusual— and that’s the metal beds in front of them. Marami iyon, lahat ay nakahilera sa harap nila. Bukod do’n ay mayroon ding mga taong nakaputi ang nakapaligid sa kanila. They all seemed like doctors— only they wouldn’t he
The Runners Chapter 37: Curiosity kills, Kat.
KATANA. KUYA AND I kept on running despite our sweaty bodies and the rapid beating of our hearts due to tiredneed. Walang ibang nasa isip namin kundi ang marating kaagad ang tulay para makahingi ng tulong at mailigtas sina Papa at ang iba pa. Sobrang daming tanong ang nasa isip ko habang tumatakbo pero ni isa sa mga 'yon ay hindi masagot. Sobra rin ang pag-aalala ko para sa mga kaibigan namin na naiwan sa dagat. Pero gustuhin ko mang bumalik, hindi pwede. I may have turned my back on them, I may have left them, but this will going to help us all. We didn’t just left them behind, after all, because we did this to help us to save them. That’s right, Kat. Be rational. Be tough. You were a weakling, but not anymore. Don’t let yourself be a wimp any longer because that clearly doesn’t help.
The Runners Chapter 38: Curiosity killed Kat.
KATANA. I ADMIRE this fucking doctor. He’s a good talker. He weave words like an elegant cloth and that convinced me more that he’s more likely a dentist rather than a scientist whatever he calls himself. He’s so fucking good at words because he just told us that he’ll help and the next thing I knew, we’re in his car and he’s steering the wheel next to me— babbling about nonsense shits that I just grew bored of. “Uh, mister doctor sir, whatever you want to be called—” I scratched my hand as I cut his idle talks about those things he kept in his lab. “Would you please remind me... why are we here again?” He looks taken aback. Natahimik siya ng ilang sandali bago bahagyang natawa. “Yeah, right,” bulong niya at tumik
The Runners Chapter 39: Award?
KATANA. THE WOMEN’S brisk conversation was ended quickly as they walked closer to my directions. Nanigas kaagad ang laman ko sa takot nang tuluyan silang makalapit, pero nang hilahin nila ang bagay kung saan ako nakahiga ay bahagya akong nakahinga ng maluwag. Not until they started pulling me out of the dark room and in the brightly lit hallway. “Hey...” mahina kong sabi sa dalawang babae nang pumwesto sila sa magkabilang gilid ng parang metal stretcher kung saan ako nakahiga. They were pushing me— or the stretcher, while their focus are up front. They didn’t budge when I spoke, so I assumed they didn’t hear me. “Hey, where are you taking me?” muli kong tanong, pero tiningnan lang ako ng babae bago muling ibinaling ang atensyon sa harap. &
The Runners Chapter 40: Cruel reality.
KATANA. “KAT! KAT! Katana!” “Shhh! She’s still asleep! Shut up!” “Baka dumating na ‘yong baliw!” “Just... Just let her rest for now!” I woke up when I heard noises— whispers to be exact. I slowly opened my eyelids, but I immediatley closed it again because of too much light from the ceiling. Nang unti-unting masanay ang mata ko sa liwanag ay agad akong napalingon sa pinanggalingan ng mga boses. I tilted my head to my right, but due to the straps— yet again— it was hard. But I still managed anyway. “K-Kuya...” I called out softly when I saw him. Mabilis siyang lumingon sa ‘kin, bagaman hirap din tulad ko dahil sa mga
The Runners Chapter 41: Unveiled truth.
KATANA. I COULD feel my chest tightening with the sight of Belle and with the sound of my friends’ cries. Tears continued to flow recklessly in both of my cheeks, signifying deep pain, as we all watched the retreating figure of Roldan and Belle. I felt numb physically after all that had happened, but deep down inside me, I’m slowly dying. Mad wasn't enough to describe how I feel right now. It's as if my chest is burning with anger and my mind is flooded with nothing but the thought of killing Jerez. Napupuyos ako sa galit bagaman pinapanatili kong kalmado ang paghinga ko. I know that Jerez can feel and see my rage, but my fury seems like a carousel to him. The more I fuel the ride with my madness, the more he enjoys. And God knows how much I want to punch the life out of his body right now. &
