Stay Alive Novels & Stories

Seryoso na ito ngayon at halatang may malalim na iniisip. "Anong pinag-usapan niyo?" Usisa ko. "Hunter is still alive." He said in a serious tone. Napa-kunot ako ng noo, "Anong sinasabi mo? Diba binaril na ni Alex 'yon? Paano mabubuhay 'yon?"

Nahihirapan ako. Pero wala akong makapitan kaya kailangan kong lumaban ng mag-isa. I have no choice but to keep going. I have no choice but to continue living until my breathing stopped. I need to live. I must enjoy my remaining days here in this amazing world.

Nakita niyang nagpakawala ito ng isang malalim na buntong hininga. "Look at me Nahara. I won't explain anything to you about me. I don't care if you're puzzled right now or not. These things are gonna happen over and over again just like before. My life is always on the line and so are the people around me. There is no safe place beside me, Nahara. It's either I get killed or I will kill them first. I am giving you an option today, if you want to stay safe and alive, you have to leave me unless you're willing to catch a bullet and die for me then you are free to stay…"

Oo nga pala, ilang araw na akong walang kain. DALAWANG ARAW na ang nakalilipas simula no’n. Hindi pa rin bumabalik ang ability ko. I still got nowhere to go. To survive in this world, I did something that has become the definition of my whole being- to kill. But this time, no one commands me to do it but my own instinct to survive. Kaya may nakakain ako, nakakapagpalit ako ng damit, at nakakakuha ng pera. For my shelter, wala pa rin. Kaya kong magkaro’n ng matutuluyan kung gugustuhin ko, but I prefer sleeping outside. Sa mga bubong pa madalas. Gusto ko kasi may monitor ako sa mga nangyayari sa labas. Who knows kung may makita akong makakatulong sa ‘kin sa pagbalik ng ability ko.

"Yeah." Dahan-dahan naglakad si Alora at umupo sa harapan niya. "Nasaan siya? Buhay pa naman siya hindi ba? Hindi siya itinago ni Dr. Smith sa akin? My daughter is a survivor. I know she survived."

Diretso. Walang emotion. Mas lalong nakakabigat. Tahimik ulit. Then nagsalita si Elias. “He’s not lying.” Napalingon ako sa kanya. “If we leave without protection,” dagdag niya, “we won’t last a week.” Napatitig ako sa kanya. “Then why do you still look miserable here?” Napangiti siya nang mapait. “Because surviving isn’t the same as living.”

Somehow, I developed a unlikeable atmosphere with this teacher. Napalunok naman ito dahil sa mga sinabi ko. "Then how can you explained you are still alive?" I continued to smile. "Simple. Ang masamang damo, di madaling mamatay. But to satisfy your curiosity, i know you are all curious why I am still alive because I was not killed, the moment I was stabbed by King Laurent, my existence in your world was fading and slowly I was sent back to earth but in a critical condition. I don't know how did I survive but I woke up one day and breathing and slowly recovering. But I am no longer here in Pandora but on Earth. I cannot explain why I did not die because that is also a question to me. But mayb

Hindi ko kasi maintindihan! Natatakot ako na maiwan. Natatakot ako na mawala siya sa’kin. Natatakot ako na pagdating ng panahon ay kunin din siya sa akin. I didn’t know he had this kind of world—like he’s walking on the edge of a cliff, with no certainty of when he’ll survive. “I do. I trust you. I just don’t want you to become part of the darkness I live in as much as possible. You were the only good thing I had. You still are.”

Posibleng ang narinig ko ay isang uri lamang ng gamit ng mga ito upang makuha ang simpatiya ko. “Here I am though for the other possibility, to clinging the both possibility!” patuloy kong mahigpit ang kapit sa malaking sanga, ngunit unti-unting sumilay ang ngiti sa mga labi. “I risk my life in the proces... Really what I need to prepare the grand escape!” May kasabihan na ang tanggapin ang katotohanan at pangyayari ang magtutulay sa kaliwanagan. Kahit mahirap man itong paniwalaan, ito ay ang mga posibilidad!

I'm still alive. But I cannot feel my whole body. Nang magising ako ay talagang napabuntong hininga agad ako. Nagpasalamat rin ako na naka-survive naman ako sa pinagagawa namin ni Luther.
