Chapter 8- Getting rid of them

Third-person POV

"Let's go!"

Matapos pataasin ang morale ng kanyang mga kasama, inutusan ni Quinn ang mga ito na sundan ang kanyang pangunguna sa pag exterminate ng mga hayop na yaon.

"He..hehe.. hehehe." Ngisi at pigil na pagtawa ni Quinn, indicating ng bakas niyang pagka-excite sa kanyang gagawin.

Tinitigan si Quinn ng kanyang mga kasama nang may pangamba at pag-aalinlangan dahil kanilang nararamdaman sa kanilang mga sarili na hindi normal ang babaeng ito.

"All of us are scared, and we're about to lose our minds while this woman is grinning and smiling as if she is itching to kill someone." mahinang sabi ni Nilah

Hindi lang si Nilah ang nakakaramdam nito bagkus halos silang lahat, feeling the same way and asking themselves how Quinn can't feel any fear at all, but in fact she's actually enjoying it!

Sila ay malapit na sa una nilang target at ang tinawag ni Quinn ay si Akari na may hawak ng mga bakal.

Ang una nilang target ay ang tigre na na-injure ni Quinn na kung saan binato niya ito ng kutsilyo at bumaon ito sa ulo ng tigre.

"Buksan mo ang pinto." ani Quinn sa babaeng nagngangalang Mirah

Binuksan nila ang pinto at nakita ang tigre na kumakain pa rin sa patay nang katawan ng kasama nilang si Jung.

Pinatabi ni Quinn ang kanyang mga kasama, hinigpitan ang kapit sa tubo at sa isang kisap mata lamang ay...

Bumaon ang tubo sa ulo ng tigre at tumagos ito sa ibaba at muling bumaon sa dibdib dahilan sa sobrang pagkalakas nang pagbato ni Quinn.

Ang timer ay nasa bandang 2 minutes pa at walang inaksayang oras si Quinn,

Agaran niyang inutusan ang kanyang mga kasama na maiwan sa kulungan para chop-chopin ang patay na katawan ng tigre subalit hindi niya ito sinabi kung bakit at sa kung ano ang dahilan.

"I'll explain it later; just do it for now." Nagmamadaling ika ni Quinn

Kalaunan ay inutusan naman ni Quinn si Akari, Nilah at Samiyyah na sumama sa kanya para pumatay pa ng isa pang tigre.

Parehong proseso...

Binuksan ni Samiyyah ang pinto, kumuha si Quinn sa tubo na hawak ni Akari, at ibinato ito sa tigre nang pagkalakas-lakas dahilan nang agarang pagkamatay na ito.

Matapos ay tumawag si Quinn ng mga tao sa naunang kulungan para chop-chopin din ang pangalawang tigre na pinatay niya.

People around Quinn are still shocked and too stunned to move on from what they have witnessed.

"Killing two tigers within 3 minutes—that's not normal!"

"So, this is the beast from amongst us that the announcer was talking about?

"Yeah, she really is a beast.

Yan na lamang ang usapan na maririnig habang sila ay abala sa pag chop-chop ng mga patay na tigre.

Kalaunan ay sinabi nila Nilah na halos isang minuto nalang ang natitira sa timer, kaya tinanong nila si Quinn kung pupunta pa ba sila sa panibagong kulungan para pumatay ng isa pa.

"Hindi na, dito na muna tayo magtago sa mga kulungan na 'to sa ngayon." ani Quinn

Ilang saglit ang lumipas ay sinabi ni Quinn ang kanyang hinuha na kung saan ay ang sa tingin niya ay kung ilang tao ang nasa labas, ganoon din ang bilang ng mga papakawalan na tigre.

Halimbawa ay ang kaninang pangyayari na kung saan ay inilabas ni Quinn, Jung, Jackie, Jethro, and Micko.

Ang lumabas na mga tigre ay apat gaya ng bilang ng taong nasa labas.

Gusto itonf ikompirma ni Quinn kaya... "The six of us will confirm this." sabay turo sa turo lalaking sina Michael, Paolo, Jerry, and Karl at Rowell

Nagulat ang lima sa sinabi ni Quinn at tinanong siya ng mga ito sa kung bakit sila ang napili samantalang nand'yan naman sila Nilah, Akari, and Samiyyah.

"They already did their part, so can you do yours?" said Quinn.

Ang plano ni Quinn ay patunayan ang kanyang hinuha na 'Kung ilan ang taong nasa labas ay ganoon din ang bilang ng papakawalan na tigre' at kapag anim nga na tigre ang lumabas, sinabi ni Quinn na pwede na ulit silang pumasok sa kulungan

Ang lima ay pumayag sa planong ito ni Quunn at nang 30 segundo nalang ang natitira sa timer ay agad na silang lumabas.

As the timer drops to zero, they can hear cages clanking and the growling of the beasts as the cages open one by one.

The tigers went out of the cage, but they couldn't confirm their numbers due to the darkness of the place.

"Should we look closer?" Paolo said.

The five guys went closer to see and count the tigers, and once they confirmed that there were six tigers in total, they immediately told Quinn that something was off.

There is no response at all, and when they turn around, Quinn's presence is nowhere to be found.

They tried looking for Quinn and were shocked when they found out that she was already on her way to go inside the cage.

Paolo told the others, so they immediately rushed towards the gate, but when they arrived there, Quinn aggressively shut the door of the cage and said that she didn't want to open it for them.

"Anong ibig sabihin nito Quinn?! Ang sabi mo papapasukin mo kami!" Malakas na sabi ni Paulo subalit walang imik dito si Quinn.

"You'll pay for this alumina; I'll tear your skin off and slit your throat when I get inside!" Pagbabanta naman ni na sabi ni Michael.

Subalit tinawanan lang ni Quinn ang pagbabantang ito ni Michael at sinabing, "Why don't you look around you and say that again to my face?

And when they looked behind them, they found out that they were completely surrounded by the beasts, and there was no direction for them to run and escape.

"Hindi ako nagsinungaling sa inyo, kung narealized niyo lang sana na hindi naman sarado ang mga kulungan na katabi namin edi sana you would've got protection and somehow survived. Quinn said.

But knowing this wouldn't benefit them at any point now due to the fact that they have nowhere to run and the tigers are blocking their way, so...

The hungry beast feasts on them, and the loud screaming, crying, and cracking bones are heard once again.

"(Name): Michael Cage

Case: Molested and raped a 7-year-old in their yard

(Name): Paolo Avenil

Case: He killed his older brother so that he would be the one who would inherit their father's money.

(Name): Jerry Villa

Case: He hacked his teacher's debit card and stole thousands of dollars of savings that will be used on the operation of the teacher's daughter.

The money was not returned, and the daughter died.

(Name): Karl Cortez

Case: Rape a disabled woman

(Name): Rowell Romeo

Case: He killed his parents due to his anger; the reason is that his father broke his PS4 because he didn't pay his tuition that his father gave him but rather, he bought a PS4 with it.

His father found it out and broke it, and so the murder begins...

HAHA HAHA HAHAHA WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! YOU GUYS WOULDN'T KNOW HOW GREAT IT FEELS WERE THIS MAN WORST THAN MONSTERS IS DYING IN A SLOW AND EXCRUCIATING WAY! The announcer said obnoxiously after presenting the data of those men.

Now, people around Quinn started to realize that the beasts were the least of their worries, as the real beasts that might actually kill them were literally amongst them and in front of them.

"Can I ask you something?" Pagtatanong ni Quinn sa kanyang mga kasama habang nakatalikod ito sa kanila

Dahil sa ginawa ni Quinn at takot na naidulot nito, walang sumasagot sa kanya nang ilang saglit hanggang ang naginginig na si Nilah ay tumayo at sinabing "A-a-no 'y-'yon?" utal-utal niyang sabi dala nang takot.

Humarap sa kanila si Quinn at sinabing, "What in the world are you staring at?"  Nanlalaking mata na sabi ni Quinn.

"I was forced...

I didn't have a choice at all.

All I did was give them what I was supposed to do, am I right? If you think that I'm wrong, then you must feel what their victims feel like while they're doing their heinous sin on them...

Killing your own brother for money, stealing thousands of dollars, killing his own parents due to anger, raping a disabled woman, and molesting a child?

People like them deserve nothing but pain and suffering!

You really think life will be peaceful after doing something horrendous? Galit na galit na sabi ni Quinn

Subalit sa kanyang pagsasalita ay may isang lalaki ang tumayo at humila ng isang babae sabay tutok ng patalim sa leeg nito.

"T-tumahimik ka! Dahil kung hindi!" Sinto-sinto na sabi nang lalaki.

"Dahil kung hindi ano? Are you stupid or something? Or did you forget the situation you are in?

You think taking a hostage would work on me?

Boy, if only you knew that the woman you're holding has done much worse than you, do you think I would put even a single inch of care into her dying?

No, in fact, I'll even help you kill that hostage you are holding, and if you are unlucky, you might die as well.

Because it looks like I will have a double barbeque on one stick," Quinn said while grabbing the sharp steel tube in Akari's hand.

"Boy, what you've done was an accident, right? You didn't plan it, and no one wanted what happened at your pace, so I guess I might let you off the hook, just... just...

Just hold that woman tightly and don't let her escape!

I want to hit a bullseye in her head, and I will try not to hit you, okay? Quinn added as she grins

Wala nang oras pa para mag-isip, ginawa nga ng lalaking iyon ang sinabi ni Quinn at hindi niya hinayaang makatakas ang babaeng hawak-hawak niya ngayon.

"STOP STOP! I REGRET WHAT I'VE DONE! PLEASE SPARE ME!" pagmamakaawa na sabi ng babae

But nothing in the cage is stopping Quinn right now as she raises her hand with the sharp tube of steel, preparing to throw it away with such force.

But something happens...

Just before Quinn throws the sharp steel, a tiger bumps and tackles the cage they are residing in with such force that it manages to open the door of the cage.

"AHHH!!! TULONG!" Malakas na sigaw ni Nilah

Naalarma si Quinn sa sigaw na iyon ni Nilah at dahil doon ay hindi na niya nagawa pang ibato ang bakal na hawak niya sa babaeng papatayin niya sana.

Ipinagpaliban niya ito at ginawang priority ang pagsagip kay Nilah.

Lumabas si Quinn sa kulungan para habulin ang leon na kumuha kay Nilah at nang makalapit ay binato niya ito nang bakal na tubo sa katawan.

Subalit hindi ito sapat...

Hindi niya ito tinamaan sa may bandang ulo at nang dahil doon ay nakakagalaw pa ang tigre.

Sa kabilang banda, nagalit ang tigre dahil sa nagawang iyon ni Quinn at nabaling ang atensyon nito sa kanya.

Binitawan ng tigre si Nilah sabay sakmal sa ulo ni Quinn at matapos ay dinala siya nito sa malayo.

"QUINN!!" Malakas na tawag ni Nilah

Pinilit pang tumakbo ni Nilah subalit tila ba sumusuko ang kanyang mga tuhod sa pagtayo sa kadahilanang bigat ng kanyang nadaramang sakit sa kanyang tagiliran.
