Apollo went to the sea to get some sea water while I stayed in the sand enjoying the scenery.
Umupo ako sa sand at kinuha ang sample na dala ko. Binuksan ko ang mga dahon at agad ko nasimoy ang baho na binuga ng kinuha kong sample, not only that, the tissue was already rotten. They easily rot, huh.
"Nakakuha na ako, tara na," biglang sabi ni Apollo habang dala yung bottles with sea water.
Agad kong isinara ang mga dahon at nilagay ulit ang sample sa bulsa ko. Tumayo ako at nagsimula na kaming maglakad paalis.
"Alam mo, something's strange," I said
"What do you mean?" he asked
"Kasi, those morphing humans have the same structure, katulad satin -- organs, movements but they ar
“Tapos na," sabi ni Avelox after transfering the salt into a small plate na nakita rin lang namin sa bahay. We actually cleaned more and we saw some useful utensils but mostly are glass plates. We are really thankful na may natira ng konting plato at iba pang gamit na pwede pa naming pakinabangan. This can really help us but our problem is how to preserve our meat longer, maybe we’ll use the salt method. You know, putting salts on the meat and drying it using sunlight. Lumabas ako ng bahay at nadatnan ko si Zavier na kumukuha ng tubig and he’s currently purifying it. I suddenly remembered that Avelox mentioned that she saw grapes when we went fishing. We can make liquor using it. Well, sa sitwasyon na ito, ang sarap talagang mag laklak ng alak. Hindi man halata pero umiinom rin ako at madalas kapag failed yung research k
“This is not a good joke!” sigaw ko habang tumatakbo pataas at para makalabas gamit ang back door. Ang bigat pa naman ng dala ko, If I want to live kailangan kong bitawan ang mga ito para makatakbo pa ng mabilis. Kung may dala akong pen dito maybe it would lessen the danger. Maybe I should put these down at balikan ko nalang? Lumingon ako and I saw that girl just walking towards me. Binitawan ko ang microscope at ang Erlenmeyer na may specimen holder at nilagay sa harap ng Physics room na at tumakbo ng mabilis papunta sa likoran. Safety first muna tayo dito, gago! Parami ng parami ang mga halaman na nadadaanan ko. The branches are getting bigger and thicker at hinaharangan na nito ang hallways and stairs. It might be my d
Minulat ko ang mata ko at agad napahawak sa bewang ko. I looked around and I noticed that I was laying in a bed of leaves. Agad akong napaupo dahil sa gulat, Where am I? I bit my lower lip when I felt pain when I sat. I also noticed that my wounds were covered with bandages? How? Also, this is not our home? What is going on? Pinilit kong tumayo at dahan-dahang naglakad. Napadaan ako sa isang picture frame na nakasabit pa rin sa wall pero puno ng halaman. I carefully moved the leaves to see the picture at nagulat ako sa nakita ko. It was Apollo and some girl who's holding his arm. They both looked so happy. If I'm not wrong, this girl was Vivianne, the youngest female idol na sumikat at galing to sa school nila Apollo, there were rumors that they were dating-- I guess, those rumors were true. Lumabas ako sa pintoan agad dahil wala na ang pinto. Sumalubong saki
"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
