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
CASSIOPEIA"All set," I said habang nagpreprare kami ng mga gamit namin. This time, we needed to bring samples only and not supplies so we all brought test tubes and small bags na nakuha namin sa ibang stores."Kung ano mang makikita niyong samples, dalhin niyo. Do not use your hands. Use the clips that I gave you." I instructed at tumango sila"Do you guys have the keys?" Zavier asked and we nodded"Well then, tara na," sabi ni Avelox and we all went out. She locked the door and again, we parted ways."I don't think kailangan pa natin pumunta sa school ko, pabalik-balik na ako dun and no one woke up, well except the guy who attacked us before when we were about
AVELOX"Zavier, dito," tawag ko sabay turo ang konting daan na dinaanan ko nang makatakas ako mula sa morphing human nang magising ako for the first time. Ah ~ how nostalgic and tragic at the same time.As of now, andito kami sa school ko para kumuha ng samples, I’m not really sure kapag sinusundan kami pero whatever happens, kukuha talaga kami ng samples- it’s our last hope. We are currently looking for a route na madaling daanan kasi most of our school grounds are filled with tall grasses and snakes."T-This is your school?" Zavier asked and I nodded"It's kinda... uhhh small?" he said and tilted his head"Of course, di naman ako mayaman kaya dito ako nag-aaral. This is a public school," I explained
CASSIOPEIA "T-Teka lang, di ba kayo uuwi? Sama niyo ko," Loki said while holding my hand at napatigil ako sa paglakad. Even if he's a genius, he's just a 12-year old kid after all, "What about your parents? A-A-Are you living with them?" he added with a nervous smile. He's smart so I think he knows the answer. He's just hoping for another possibility. There’s nothing wrong with that. "Dead," Apollo replied as he opened the lower cabinets to find anything that we might need. I know he’s frustrated too, hindi niya lang pinapakita. Binitawan ako ni Loki at umupo sa sahig na puno ng mga bulaklak at damo. His tears fell from his eyes. He's such a cry baby. He resem
CASSIOPEIA "So, may ibang kasama ba kayo?" Loki asked while walking with us palabas ng school. He looked around but he always glanced away pag may nakita siyang frozen bodies. "Yeah, apat kami. We've been awake for almost a year now and marami ng nangyari," I said with a deep sigh. "Like what?" he asked with a huge smile. Walang kang dapat nginingitian Loki, kung alam mo lang. "Near death experience from being eaten and Cass was attacked in here too tapos hinabol ng lion. Next, she almost drowned," Apollo replied and his huge smile started to vanish and later turned into a nervous smile. "That's um… traumatic, " he replied at napatigil siya sa paglakad
CASSIOPEIAIt’s been a week now at unti-unti na kaming naghahanda para sa aming paglalakbay. Bago pa man kami lalakbay, kailangan muna naming gumawa ng Glycerin. We need it to make the giemsa stain and we have to let it sit for weeks or even months so gagawin namin yun bago mag-mining kasi para pag may nakita na kaming enough ingredients, the glycerin will be ready. At least we get to save some time.“Eto na yata lahat, Ate,” Loki said with a smile. Halatang excited na siya sa gagawin namin ngayon.“So, we’re making what again?” Zavier asked“Glycerin,” I answered at kinuha yung dala niyang coconut, “Glycerin is a sugar alcohol derived from animal products, plants or petroleum. But in our case, we’ll be making it using this coconut a
CASSIOPEIA“Tapos na?” I asked and Loki noddedIt’s been 2 weeks. 2 weeks of trial and error and finally, we got the perfect glycerin. Na-stock up kasi kami sa paggawa ng lye, we had to make multiple lyes and test it to see if it's a good product. We boiled the ashes from the woods in the rain water for 30 minutes and dipped a feather to test it. If the feather dissolves, then it’s considered as a success pero napakahirap gawin yun. We had almost 15 tests, bago pa namin nakuha ang perpektong lye.“Sa wakas,” Zavier said with a sigh at napahiga sa grass“So we have to let this glycerin sit for a month and within that month, hahanapin natin yung iba pa nating kailangan,” sabi ko“I
CASSIOPEIA“Putang inang buhay to!!!” Zavier shouted habang tumatakbo kami palayo. Kayo ba naman habulin ng tatlong tiger, sinong di tatakbo.“I did not sign up for this!!” Loki shoutedNapalingon ako and yeah, the tiger was right behind me. I stopped and I activated my pen. Agad kong itinusok yung yun malaking sword sa bibig ng tiger at binitawan ang sword. Napaatras ako while the tiger was lying dead. The other two tigers stared at us and decided to run away. Thanks to my adrenaline rush I did that.“That was bad ass,” Zavier said habang tapik-tapik yung likod ko.“Great job, I can see that your training is paying off,” Apollo said and I smiled
