♥♡ CHAPTER 24 ♡♥

♡ Savannah's POV ♡

Walking in the hallway full of sh*ts! Sobrang ingay dahil sa sigawan ng mga nagdidisco dito. I didn't even know kung kailan pa nangyari 'to at biglang nagkaroon ng ganito. I tried my best para ireport kay Fortune ang nangyayaring 'to but I wasn't able to find her at sabi naman ni Amber which is yung secretaty namin...wala naman daw problema kung may mga ganitong nangyayari as long as it won't damage any other floors.

Itong 10th floor lang naman ang napakaingay, lahat ng madadaanan na classroom may mga disco light. Maraming nagsisi-inuman sa loob and some tried to catch my attention but I didn't bother any of them. Tuluy-tuloy lang ako sa paglalakad and other students were shocked at natahimik sa pagdaan ko.

I guess, iniisip nilang ipapatanggal ng council ang ginagawa nilang 'to but sadly no. Si Fortune lang naman ang palaging nasusunod just because she's our president.

I checked every classroom at paulit-ulit lang ang scenario. I guess, we have no problem here except sa kaingayan nila na parang wala na sa sarili. They went crazy because of this whole d*mn school! Everyone wants to escape but who else can?

I was about to leave but one person caught my attention. Napangiti ako ng masama at pumasok sa room na 'yon which is different from other rooms dahil medyo malaki ito. Lahat sila, napatingin sa direksyon ko and I know what's going on inside their heads. Questioning themselves kung bakit naisipan ng isang myembro ng council na pumasok sa ganitong lugar when I am supposed to be reprimanding them right now...telling them to stop and leave this place at once.

But no, the hell I care.

Umupo ako sa tapat niya at nakitang medyo tinamaan na siya ng alak kaya I'm really sure of it na kanina pa siya dito. He looks so totally ruined. What happened with this man?

"Any problem?" tanong ko ng mapansin niya ako. Uminom siya at ibinaba sa lamesa ang hawak niyang baso at tinignan ulit ako.

"Are you gonna tell us to leave and stop this nonsense?" nakangising tanong nito kaya natawa ako.

I rolled my eyes, "I don't care about this place. Kung may plano man kaming gawin 'yon, kanina pa kayo napalayas dito. So tell me, what is the member of Phantoms doing here?" I know he's in pain. I could sense it so I smiled devilishly.

"And what is the member of council doing in this place?" tanong niya pabalik. I took his glass at nilagyan ng alak then drank it all the way at muling ibinaba sa lamesa.

"You somehow caught my attention. Do Blood Rebel's group has a problem?" I asked.

Hindi ako sanay na umiinom sila sa ganitong klasing lugar at kahit na sinuman sa grupong 'yon dahil may sarili silang lungga.

Yes, they drink together in the BR room but not in other places like what this man is doing right now that's why I'm curious.

"No, they have nothing to do with this. Relationship problem" uminom siya ulit pero sa mismong bote na at ibinaba ulit 'yon.

"Mind to share what happened? I'll listen" I asked habang masamang nakangiti.

Ilang segundo rin ang lumipas na hindi siya nagsasalita at malayo ang tingin na parang malayo din ang iniisip until, "I badly want to kill him. Since Gwen fell in love with that man, unti-unti na ring nasira ang relasyon namin" there he said it na mas lalo ko pang ikinangiti.

"Who is he?"

Tinignan muna niya ako at saka sinagot ang tanong ko, "Sean Raven. I know he's one of the Vipers which makes him have more power than me because I am just one of the Phantoms but I can't take this anymore. Babawiin ko si Gwen and I will show her how bad I've been hurt" sa boses niya, halatang-halata na galit na galit siya even his hands, napakuyom ang mga ito.

"So, what's your plan?"

I want to know badly kung anong gusto niyang mangyari ngayon. Knowing that he would betray the whole group just for his love, I think I must have a plan too para sabayan ang plano niya. Interesting, isn't it?

"I will get her tomorrow, morning" sagot nito. As far as I know, Gwendolyn is a member of Redblades, right? Parang alam ko na ang mangyayari nito and that's better.

"Kapag ginawa mo 'yan, alam mo ba na parang binabangga mo na rin ang sarili mong grupo, Kevin. Your girlfriend is a member of Redblades, right?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko. Is he really sure about this?

"I know and only one person would really get mad at this. Sean Raven, hindi niya hahayaang saktan ko si Gwen knowing that he has feelings for her too. I don't care about the punishments, I will surely die and get tortured for this" humina ang pagsasalita nito but I could see his determination.

"Then die...I will surely avenge your death" inilapit ko ang mukha ko sa kanya na ipinagtaka niya.

"What do you mean, Savannah?"

And I smiled badly, "While you are busy with your girl, I am one hundred percent sure that the whole Blood Rebel's group will going to find and catch you. Sean Raven will surely ask Dean Carson and Clyde's help for this kaya sigurado akong busy sila sa mangyayari. When that happens..." I already have a plan and this will cause that whole group to destroy and I can finally get what and who I want.

"I will secretly deceive Bliss Syden using a fake Redblades"

"Then?" he asked with curiosity.

"I will bring her here and knowing that people here are all drug addicts..." I just observed them earlier at hindi malayong naka-droga nga ang mga nandito but that's better and makes the scene even scarier.

"Surely, I will make the Viper Queen's life miserable and the Blood Rebel's group will take the blame for this. Masyado nila siyang pinapahalagahan, they can't blame her and it will cause their destruction as day goes by. Thanks for the help in advance, Kevin. Good luck!" I said bago ako tumayo ngunit nagsalita pa ito kaya napatingin ako sa kanya.

"I don't care about your plan...but at least know what will be the consequences of your actions because me...I am ready to die in the hands of my own group" he added.

.................

♡ Syden's POV ♡

I've always hated dreams...because they might be predictions telling us what will happen next.

Madilim at maliwanag. 'Yon ang nararamdaman ko.

Ayaw kong napupunta sa ganitong klasing lugar. Honestly, I hate myself for being weak. Palaging naghihintay sa mga taong magliligtas sa akin. If ever someone do not attempt to come and save me, I prefer to just die cause it simply means that I am not that important to someone...not even worthy to live.

Yes, I fought but I was too late to fight. I tried my best not to lose but my body couldn't just fight. My mind wanted to fight but physically, I am literally dead.

Sound of thunder and storms...'yon lang ang mga naririnig ko. Everything is black, until I saw myself. Niyayakap ko ang sarili ko na basang-basa. No one was there, no one came. Maybe, I am just really a fragile woman.

I started to walk through an endless road but still no pathway to reach a certain destination. That feeling when you want to reach it, but simply can't touch it.

I looked at my hands to find my destiny. Slowly, the raindrops who were touching my hands turned into blood and once again, I sensed fear and anger within myself.

"Tama na!" natagpuan ko ang sarili kong nakaupo sa isang kama at ramdam ko na basang-basa na ang mukha ko.

There I saw a man na malapit lang sa akin. Looks like he drank something from a bottle. When he noticed me, agad niyang itinago yung bote, inilagay sa may cabinet at nagmadaling lapitan ako, "Are you okay?" my blurry vision went clear at kitang-kita ko ang pag-aalala sa mga mata niya.

It was him. The man I wanted to see pagkagising ko at sa tuwing gumigising ko.

Hinawakan ng magkabila niyang kamay ang mukha ko kaya hinawakan ko ang mga kamay niya habang pinupunasan nito ang mga luha ko, "D-don't leave me" I said to him as I started to cry all over again.

"I won't, sweetie" and he kissed my forehead just before I hugged him tightly. Ayaw ko siyang mawala sa paningin ko, gusto ko palagi ko siyang kasama. I can't imagine myself alone without him.

Humiwalay ito sa pagkakayakap ko sa kanya at nag-aalalang tinanong ako,

"Are you okay? May masakit ba sa'yo? Tell me"

"I had a dream and...I was all alone, akala ko mawawala ka" saad ko dito. I couldn't help but to tremble in fear.

I admit na takutin akong tao pero iba ang takot na nararamdaman ko ngayon. I thought it was all true.

"Shhhh, it's okay. I'm here, sweetie" and he hugged me tightly.

"Sorry" kahit mahina, dinig na dinig ko ang sinabi niya kaya humiwalay ako sa pagkakayakap namin.

"For what?" tanong ko at pinunasan ang luha ko.

He held both of my hands at parang nanghihina ako na makitang kumikinang ang mga mata nito na parang maiiyak anumang oras. He slowly kissed my hands na lalo pang nakapag-pahina sa akin dahil pagkatapos noon...

Tinignan niya ako and he was already crying, "W-why?" nanghihinang tanong ko. I can't help myself but to cry again dahil sa ginagawa niya. Mas lalong bumibigat ang loob ko dahil doon.

"I'm sorry. I-i was late. I would rather die for you than to repeatedly blaming myself for your suffering" saad pa nito.

Bakit? Ano bang nangyari sa akin?

"What are you saying?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko na ikinailing naman niya. He kissed my forehead again and hugged me.

"I'm really sorry" he said again and again although I don't want to hear those ng hindi ko alam ang dahilan.

Until I spaced out when I remembered something....

Pain...

Begging...

Crying....

Napahawak ako sa ulo ko at lumayo ako sa kanya na ipinagtaka niya. Napatingin ako sa ibang direksyon until I realized something when I heard my own voice within me..

(...Flashback...)

Hinalik-halikan niya ako habang tinatanggal ang butones ng damit ko. Kahit anong mangyari, kahit naiiyak na ako, pinilit ko...pinilit na labanan ang lakas nila.

Tatlo sila laban sa akin. Anong laban ko lalo na't hindi ako makagalaw. Sumigaw ako hanggang sa takpan nila ang bibig ko. Wala akong magawa kundi umiyak kahit gusto kong manlaban.

Hanggang sa tuluyan niyang matanggal ang mga butones ng damit ko.

Hinalik-halikan ako magmula labi hanggang sa pababa ng pababa.

Ilang minuto...

Ilang minuto kong tiniis lahat ng ginagawa nila ng isa-isa nila akong halikan. Nakatingin sa kisame habang lumuluha sa kawalan.

Parang nabalutan ako ng takot...yung takot na nawala sa akin, ngayon bumabalik na.

Kaya ko ng lumaban, pero bakit ngayon natatakot nanaman ako.

Nagising ako sa realidad ng mapadaing ako. Kasi may naramdaman akong sakit habang nakikita ko sila na tuwang-tuwa. Hindi ko matignan ang sarili ko...diring-diri ako.

Sobrang sakit...

Hindi ko alam kung bakit...

Basta masakit...

(...End Of Flashback...)

Tears started to run off again on my face.

I know, totoo 'yon. I remembered what happened. Kung paano nila ako binaboy habang wala akong kalaban-laban. I swear, I tried my best to fight them but my body couldn't just move.

"Forget what happened" I heard him say that kaya napatingin ako sa kanya when in fact...I knew na alam niya rin ang nangyari sa akin. Kaya ba nagsosorry siya?

I see, napatango na lang ako. He is now dissappointed in me. He really hates me now kasi nandidiri na siya sa akin because of what happened.

Muli siyang lumapit at niyakap ako habang patuloy pa rin ang pagluha ko, "I'm sorry for not being able to save you" he said and I know na umiiyak din siya. I am the one who should say that kaya mapait akong napangiti.

I'm sorry kasi wala akong nagawa.

"Kung pinilit kong gisingin ang sarili ko, I had the chance to fight them just like how you taught me. I was the one who were late to fight that time. Lumaban ako pero huli na. It's all my fault. Why don't you just directly say it to me, na iba na yung tingin mo sa akin ngayon?" walang gana kong sabi.

"No. Look, this is all my fault pero kahit kailan hindi naging ganyan ang tingin ko sa'yo at alam mo 'yon" and I looked at him. Ngumiti nanaman ng mapait habang lumuluha.

"I-iwan mo muna ako" I said towards him na alam kong nasaktan ko din siya. I couldn't face him the way I used to before, knowing that never he attempted to touch me pero minsan lang akong binaboy ng mga taong 'yon.

But then, I didn't expect him to leave dahil pilit niya akong niyakap although nilalayo ko siya sa akin. I feel guilty because of what happened.

"Please, don't say something like that to me, Syden"  pakiusap nito.

I couldn't dare to look at him or to be closer him. Diring-diri ako sa sarili ko and he doesn't deserve someone like me now.

"I said, iwan mo na ako!" sigaw ko habang umiiyak pero hindi siya nagpatinag.

"Can't you just listen to me, umalis ka na!! Iwan mo muna ako!!" I added pero lalong humihigpit ang yakap niya the more na tinataboy ko siya.

"Kapag hindi ka pa lumabas, I swear I will hate you forever- "

"Godd*mn, Bliss Syden! Could you please stop giving me reasons to leave you?! Nasasaktan din ako!" he shouted and with that.

I saw how my man cried infront of me. He bursted out in tears na mas lalong sumasaksak sa akin. Nagkatitigan kami habang umiiyak until I realized na maling-mali ang sinabi ko, "I-i just want you to realize, the more na tinataboy mo 'ko mas lalapitan kita...but if that's what you want for now, I will give you time. Remember that I'm always here for you, sweetie. You know how much I love you." for the third time he hugged me and kissed my forehead.

Slowly, he turned away and left me.

To be continued...
