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 gotBab terkait

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

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. &
The Runners Chapter 42: Behind their death.
KATANA. “THEY... T-THEY were my family...” Those words silenced us like a knife and painfully left a thick and heavy ambiance inside the room. We all watched Jerez as he painfully sobbed on his hands, not minding our presence and curious stares. While my heart throbbed in slight pain, alam kong tulad ko, nakaramdam rin ang mga kasama namin ng super duper slight na awa para sa doktor na 'to. “W-We were happy...” mahina niyang bulong maya-maya habang patuloy pa rin sa paghikbi. “Everything’s working out fine. We were contented. We were complete... not until Lloyd ruined everything!” galit na sigaw niya dahilan para mapapiksi ako sa gulat. “And up until this moment, it still hurts!” he wailed, bringing gloss in my eyes as tears threathened to faill. “I’ve lost them years ago an
The Runners Chapter 43: An ally.
KATANA. I didn't know how we ended up in this different room but all I know is I don't care about anything and anyone anymore. My mind's a mess. My system’s haywire and I can't think straight. Parang kinakain na nang poot at sakit at guilt ang buo kong katawan— internally, emotionally and physically. The guys in whites made us laid in another metal beds after entering another room with my brother and strapped us down yet again. Sumunod lang kami ni Kuya sa kanila. Hindi kami nagreklamo o nagpumiglas o ano. Basta na lang kaming sumunod at hinayaan sila sa kung anumang balak nilang gawin sa ‘min. Ni hindi nga ako nag-reklamong masakit ang katawan ko at ayaw kong pang mamatay— parang sa mga oras na ‘to kasi, hindi na iyon ang kaso. ‘Cause after hearing the unveiled truth out of Jerez’s mou
