Chloe POV

"You'll know later." He said. Nauna na s'yang pumasok at iniwan kami.

"I'm sorry. I know you're very puzzled about what we said earlier, but you'll find out soon." She said while smiling. Hinila n'ya na ako papasok. pero di matatago sa ngiti n'yang 'yon ang kaba. Daming tanong ang bumabagabag sa'kin, isa na dito 'yong kinikilos ng dalawa at 'yong sinabi nila earlier about sa transferees. I think they're hiding something from me.

"Ganun ba." Sumunod na lang ako sa babae. Wala naman sigurong masamang mangyari sa'kin dito diba? Dito na ako mag-aaral kaya dapat kailangan kong alamin ang dapat kong malaman about this school.

"Nga pala, I forgot to ask your name." She asked while smiling slightly. We both stopped in the middle of the hallway.

"I'm Chloe, Chloe Rosencranz. How about you, what's your name?" I asked back.

"I'm Chiyo Sato."

"Nice to meet you Chiyo." We smiled at each other but all of a sudden she harshly grabbed me to a room without windows and immediately locked it.

"Ouch, what was that?" nalilito kong tanong. Ang sakit ng pagkakahila n'ya sa'kin at muntik pa akong tumilapon sa isang bookshelf. She's unusually strong. Binawi ko agad ang braso ko at hinimas ang namumulang parte nito.

"Oh! Gomenasai! I mean, I'm sorry Chloe, di ko sinasadya." She apologized at lumapit sa'kin para tingnan ang namumulang parte ng braso ko.

"No, it's okay, you have a reason for that right?" I curiously asked pero sana mali ang hinala ko.

She honestly nod. "Someone watching us earlier" she said. napakaseryoso na ng mukha ni Chiyo.

"Are you sure Chiyo? I think guni-guni mo lang 'yon." I said while my heartbeat is getting faster. Di ako makapaniwala, ayokong mag-isip ng masama. I don't want to come back to my past again. Not again. kinalimutan ko na 'yon, normal high school girl na lang ako ngayon, I've already forgotten my past but my body still remembers.

"Chloe? Chloe?! Are you okay?"

Di ko namalayan na inalog-alog na pala ako ni Chiyo.

"C-Chiyo?" Bumalik naman ako sa katinuan.

"Hey, don't worry. He's just watching us. I think he will not attack us, okay? Don't be paranoid Chloe." She said. What the heck is going on? Why is someones' watching us?

This girl is not normal. She could sense them too. I knew it she's strong.

Maingat n'yang binuksan ang pinto at sumilip sa labas. Agad naman s'yang sumenyas na safe nang lumabas. Naglakad na kami at di ko alam kong saan ako dadalhin ni Chiyo. Marami akong tanong sa nangyayari pero nahihiya akong i-aproach si Chiyo, ang seryoso n'ya kasi ngayon at parang nagsasabibing 'Don't talk to me' di ko alam kong anong kaya n'yang gawin pag nainis siya.

"Chiyo?" I asked because she suddenly stopped walking.

"Chloe, I need to tell you that this place is very dangerous. This school is a garbage for demons, di ko alam kong paano ka napunta dito pero sa tingin ko you are not aware of the true color of this Academy, you are not deserved to be in this place." She said with a cold glare. "This school was built for Mafia Heirs." She added which is ikinagulat ko.

I can't believe this, bakit dito ako inilipat ni daddy? Di kaya may pamilya kaming Mafia? No, it's impossible. I think daddy was mistakenly enrolled me in this school. If alam 'to ni dad na para lang sa Mafia Heirs ang school na 'to, siguradong di n'ya ako iiwan dito.

"Ngunit," I said in confusion. "Baka di alam ni Daddy ang totoo at isa pa sa tingin ko di ka naman masamang tao, kaya I think I will be fine if I stay here."

"No, you're wrong Chloe. I'm not an angel like you think I am," She said sadly. "But for now, we'll step aside the drama thing. The main problem is that you have no escape in this school because you're already enrolled. This school has a principle 'If you're strong you live, If you're weak you die' you can escape from here unless you graduate."

"No way! That's ridiculous! This school doesn't have the right to harm their students." I exclaimed. If this is true then I must escape before they will put some chains on my neck.

"I'm sorry Chloe, pero di kita matutulungan. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ka dito na-enrol dahil lahat ng pumapasok dito ay completely aware na ang school na 'to ay para sa mga gangsters. Ngayon lang ako naka-encounter ng tulad mo na walang kamalay-malay sa Academy na 'to"

Di na ako nakapagsalita pa, Dad might knew the true facade of this school but I still can't believe that he would betray me.

He knew my past, did he wanted me to find my resolve in this gangster school?

Dad, you're completely wrong. I cannot find an answer here but instead it turns out to be a torture for me.

Ilang minutong nakalipas ay wala ni isa sa amin ni Chiyo ng nagsalita. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako.

"I'm tired," I murmured. Napatingin bigla sa akin si Chiyo. "I'm tired acting to be weak." I whispered to myself again. Kahit anong gagawin ko ay di na ako makakatakas sa tadhana na 'to. I can't avoid danger. I think the danger itself is my existence. I don't know what he's planning. Dad wants me to be here. I don't have any choice but to trust him. He must have a reason for this.

Am I ready to reveal my own little secret? Nakakasawa na rin magpanggap. This might be a huge help that able to stand-up by myself.

Hindi ko akalain na iiwan ko ang mundo na puno ng kasinungalingan. I will face the reality to survive.

"Don't worry Chloe, I'll find a way t—" I stopped her.

"No, I'ts fine Chiyo. I could handle this by myself!" I cheerfully smiled at her. Pero ang totoo gusto ko ng umiyak.

Chiyo really looks worried. Ayokong mag-alala s'ya, ayokong maging pabigat sa iba.

"Don't worry Chiyo, I'm not an innocent like you think I am," I said and my gaze became darker. "I could sense the spy who followed us earlier. they're 7 of them." I said with a calm voice. Kitang-kita ko naman sa mukha ni Chiyo na di siya makapaniwala sa sinabi ko.

"7 years of pretending to be innocent like a normal student. hang-out with everyone like a fool brat, to be bullied by everyone. This time I'm very full of this bullshit!" I cried. Di ko na kinaya pa dahil puro pasakit na lang ang nararamdaman ko, ngayon ko lang nailabas 'to.

"Don't worry Chiyo. I'll be alright by myself." I lied. Kabaliktaran lahat ang sinasabi ko.

The truth is, I'm not alright by myself.

"No, you're wrong Chloe. You said all of this because you really wanted my help, don't you?" she asked me while looking through my soul. She got me there but I'm not allowed to accept any help. I don't deserve it.

Inayos ko na ang sarili ko. I immediately smiled at Chiyo Just like nothing happened. Di na rin n'ya ako kinulit dahil napansin n'ya na wala akong balak makipag-usap dahil gulong-gulo pa ako sa nangyayari.

We silently continued walking at the middle of the hallway but suddenly someone appeared in front of us. It's just few meters away but I could clearly tell who it was. I could still recognize his charming face.

He's haunting me again.

"K-kuya Denver?" I said with a crack voice because I'm in a verge of crying. Di ako makapaniwala sa nakikita ko.

I'm really hopeless. Why I can see him? Di ko ba talaga matatakasan ang kasalanan ko? The past, My memories 7 years ago are still missing. All I've got was the memories of my family being killed in front of me. It's cruel isn't it? The memory that I really want to forget is the only memory I can't forget.

I think this is my atonement. It's better to give up for always running away. I'm tired acting innocent as if I don't have a miserable past and discarding my memories without thinking what happened to the people who were involved on my past memories.

And I am right, I can't hide from the truth. I always knew that this day will come when the past haunts me again.

I am a coward for running away.

7 years of being blind, acting that nothing's happened just to protect myself. Forgetting my family is my greatest mistake.

I'm really selfish right? choosing my happiness by forgetting everything.

"I'm so sorry," bigla na lamang pumatak ang luhang kanina pang nagbabadyang bumagsak. "I'm sorry kuya, mama, papa. I didn't mean to forget you. I-I'm just scared."

I let myself cry. Matagal ko ding tinatago ang sama ng loob sa sarili ko. I don't know the reason why they end up being killed. But I always believe that it's for my sake. They died because of me.

Di ko na talaga kayang itago ang nakaraan ko dahil natatakot na'ko sa nangyayari. Takot na takot ako na baka kamuhian ako ng itinuturing kong pamilya.

I didn't noticed someone behind my back because I'm still in shock that I saw the ghost of my brother. I let my guard down.

In a moment, I felt a stung on my neck. A sharp thing burried inside my neck but I don't have a time to deal with it.

For now, my full attention was all focused to the man in front me. He is looking at me with a gentle expression. I really miss him but why is he looking at me like that? My heart hurts at the same time I felt dizzy.

"Kuya Denver, why are you looking at me with a sad eyes?"

Even though you're now dead.

Chiyo POV

"Kuya?" Chloe said in shocked. Namumutla s'ya at nanginginig. Napalingon naman ako sa tinatawag n'yang kuya. Nakakapagtaka naman, magkapatid pala sila? No wonder, she accepted here in this school because she has a family studying here. Di naman sila magkamukha. Matanong nga mamaya.

"I'm so sorry." Umiyak bigla si Chloe at nawalan siya ng balanse kaya napaluhod ito. Nalilito ako sa nangyayari at gusto kong umalis sa pagitan nila pero gusto ko ring malaman ang susunod na mangyayari.

"I'm sorry kuya, mama, papa. I didn't mean to forget you. I-I'm just scared." Chloe cried like a child. She looks frightened right now. Naawa ako sa kanya. Lalapitan ko na sana s'ya nang bigla siyang tinurukan ng injection sa leeg ng isa sa kasamahan ni Denver.

What on earth is going on?! Why did they put Chloe to sleep?

"Kuya. Why are you looking at me with sad eyes?" Chloe said with gloomy tone. Few seconds later she collapsed unto the ground.

What the heck is happening?! I should help Chloe before something bad happened to her.

"Hey you Denver! What the hell was that? Why Chloe called you kuya and why she's affraid after she saw you! Tsaka anong balak n'yo kay Chloe?!" I shouted to Denver but he didn't bother to looked at me. His full attention is now focused on Chloe who's currenly unconscious.

Aba't di ako pinansin ng gago!

"Hey bastard, I'm asking you!" I shouted again. Aba't may lakas loob pa siyang magbingi-bingihan sa harap ng magandang babaeng tulad ko!

Nagulat na lamang ako nang biglang lumapit sa akin si Denver. He is staring at me with his serious gaze. Crap! He's trying to intimidate me and it really works. I step back.

"Don't shout at me ugly girl. I will tell you everything if you're Gang will win against us in a Gang War this Friday. 7pm sharp." he said and immediately walks away.

"Are you blind or you just have a screw loose? Teka! saan n'yo dadalhin si Chloe?!"

"She will do the Entrance Exam" he said while not looking back.

"She's your sister! Why are you that cold to her? You must help her escape!" I shouted but it falls into deaf ears.

Gusto kong tulungan si Chloe pero huli na ang lahat. I'm sorry Chloe!

I'm amazed of Chloe earlier. Nagulat talaga ako nang inamin n'ya sakin na nararamdaman n'ya ring may sumusunod sa amin kanina. Alam niya rin ang bilang nila, na pito lahat ng spy kanina. She's really something! Eh, ako nga di ko 'yon kayang bilangin dahil dapat kailangan ng matinding insayo bago ko magawa 'yon. Sino ba talaga s'ya?

I sigh. This day is very tiring. Napasabak ako sa away nang wala sa oras. Ay teka! may oras pala, ako itong baliw na naghahanap ng gulo. Aish. Patay ako nito kay King.

Ngunit di parin mawala ang pag-aalala ko kay Chloe.


Chloe, what you are going to do now?
