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 shouted
Napalingon 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
CASSIOPEIA"You live here?" I asked as I look up to see the tree house he made clearly. It's not small and not huge at the same time, kasya lang talaga siya dun. A perfect tree house for one person. I looked around, I saw jars he made from mud. This guy has his own way of living and I liked it."Oo, I actually have someone with me," he responded at napatingin kaming lahat sa kanya, "But he turned into a monster," he added with a sad tone"He turned into a monster?!" Loki exclaimed at nagtinginan kaming dalawa. Is it possible that a normal human like us will turn into morphing monsters? Bakit paranag kinakabahan ako sa research na ito."Yeah, at first he was able to control it kaso habang patagal ng patagal, he started losing himself. The next thing I knew he carved a note on the tree where we first met and found his body, hanging." he replied at napaupo.That's tragic. I can't believe he was able to live with it kasi pag ako yun sig
CASSIOPEIA"Ang saraaaaaaap!!" Loki said cheerfully habang tinikman ang niluto ni Avelox. I glanced at Hunter at nagulat rin siya sa sarap na inihanda ni Avelox."For the first time in 100 years or more, nakatikim na ulit ako ng pagkaing pang tao," he said at kinain muli ang niluto ni Avelox na tira-tirang baboy ramo na dala namin.It's lunch time kasi galing ng mina sina Neo, Zavier, Apollo, at Hunter sa cave na nakita namin pero wala pa rin silang nakita. While they are doing that, I minded my own business such as getting samples from the new species kasi pag-aaralan ko ito pagbalik namin. Pag may makita na kaming coal, si Lokina ang bahala sa lahat. Ngayon ko lang rin lang nalaman na he's specialty is making chemicals while mine is on biology. Basically,
"Alis na po ako," sabi ko habang tumakbo palabas ng bahay. I'm late! Agad akong pumunta sa garahe para kunin ang kotse ko pero naiwan ko ang susi sa loob ng bahay. Tumakbo nalang ako palabas ng bahay at papunta sa school. I really can't waste time. Kapag kinuha ko ang susi alam ko rin namang hindi agad ito puwedeng paandarin papunta sa school. Kailangan ko munang painitin yung makina para hindi ito tumigil sa pag-andar. "Cass!" rinig kong sigaw ng kaibigan kong si Seth Napatigil ako at lumingon sa daan. He's riding in his motorcycle habang naka-park sa harap ng bahay namin. "Sakay na!" he added Hindi ko man gusto pero kailangan. Without hesitation, sumakay na ako at agad siyang humarorot papunta sa school namin, ang Spri
"Ughhh..." I groaned habang pilit kong minumulat ang mata ko I can't move properly. What's happening? Pinilit kong sarili ko na makagalaw until I was able to move my fingers. My body felt hot as if my veins are new and are functioning completely. Moments after I moved my finger, I can already move my limbs. I was about to walk out but I stopped. "No way..." sabi ko sa sarili habang nkatitig sa harapan ko. The last thing I remembered was I was in the Science laboratory talking to Apollo. I looked around and yes, nandito pa rin ako pero bakit puno ng halaman ang science lab?? I looked down at nakita ko na may tubig na rin dito. What is going on?
I have to save him. I looked around and I saw a broken chair. Kinuha ko ang metal pole mula sa sirang upuan at tumakbo pataas gamit ang sira-sirang hagdan. I did my best to climb up those huge branches para matulongan si Apollo. There’s no way I’ll let him die. Siya nalang yung natitirang kasama ko. "Whatever happens, I don’t care," I whispered while doing my best to climb up. There is no way I'm gonna run for my life. Para saan pa ba? After climbing up, I immediately ran towards Apollo’s direction and I stopped when I saw Apollo struggling trying to stop her from biting him. "HEY!" sigaw ko at napalingon sila pareho sakin. I saw Apollo's eyes widen. Ms. Enriquez t
Nagising ako na wala si Apollo.Where is he? He won’t leave me behind, right? It’s only us after all. Lumabas ako sa kweba at naglakad-lakad, nagbabakasaling makita si Apollo and hoping na hindi niya nga ako iniwan or walang nangyari sa kanya. The structure of the city is still the same although buildings are not intact at may mga halaman na rin. As I was walking by while enjoying the scenery and thinking where Apollo might be, I noticed that nakarating ako sa bridge ng city. Things are still in place. Nothing changed, it's just other living things ruled out. Trees on the side. Vines on the railings. Flowers and branches on the buildings. The scenery is aesthetic but watching it hurts me. Originally, this bridge is actual
"You saw one of them too?" she said Dahan-dahang binaba ni Apollo ang hawak niyang sword and clicked his pen. Pinasok niya ulit ito sa bulsa niya. "Nagising rin ba kayo ngayon? It's like we were frozen for a long time by something but all of a sudden we woke up? I wonder if that loud bang caused it?" she added "We woke up yesterday. We almost got killed. And yeah, I think that loud sound might be it. It was also the last thing I remembered right after I woke up." sagot ni Apollo "Saan mo kinuha yung sword? yung naging ballpen?" biglang tanong ni Zavier "I got this from school. It is one of my prototype inventions, I had many in our school. I can actually get some." he answered
APOLLO’S POV I glanced back as I walked away from them. I made sure they walked safely bago sila nawala sa paningin ko. This situation is freaking me out but I didn’t show it because Cass might freak out also. Napaupo ako sa ilalim ng puno while I’m holding my chest. I’m having panic attacks. Napapikit ako at inalala ang mga pangyayari bago nawasak ang mundo. Right, if Viviane was here with me, I’m sure I'd be fine. I have to go home bago ko kukunin yung kailangan ko sa school. I know it’s impossible but I’m hoping that she’s awake. I stood up and tried my best to calm myself. I remember how Cass looked at me when she was scared. If I freak out and panic in front
