AYR 78

[TAMARA]

Did I hear it right?

Krissha thanked Pauline? Like for real?

Woah. I never thought she would say those words. Mas maganda nga yata na ibahin ko na talaga ang pananaw ko sa bawat tao. Maybe she's really good inside but she can't express it.

I mean, every person has a good quality naman diba? But others prefer it hidden for whatever reason it may be, for protection as a façade or anything. I should definitely focus more on good attributes.

Nandito kami ngayon sa pinakagitna ng warehouse wherein it has an open space. Pinapatumba namin lahat ng sumusugod sa amin pero mainly si Pauline lang ang nagawa noon.

Sobrang nabibilib ako sa galing niya sa pakikipaglaban, whether with weapons or weaponless, she could definitely slay. I can't imagine our team if we do not have her.

Dahil sa sobrang lalim ng iniisip ko ay 'di ko napansin na may kalaban na pala sa kanan ko. He threw a punch at me but luckily, John came to dodge those punches.

"Always look at your sides, you'll never know who'll betray you." he said those words so seriously.

Hindi ko alam kung may ibang meaning ba siya doon sa sinabi niya but based from his actions I know there is. After he said that, he immediately walked away.

Nakakapagtaka lang ang biglang pagbabago ni John this past few days. He's a very jolly person but now, he's as cold as Seb. I know na lahat naman kami nakaexperience ng malala dahil sa mga mangyayari but who knows, maybe he had it worst.

Hindi ko maisip kung anong nakapagpabago sa kaniya ng ganoon but if there's a reason, I know it isn't simple.

Katatapos lang patumbahin nila Pauline ngayon ang apat pang katao. She really has pumped up kicks. She's so strong.

Inalis ko na rin lahat ng isipin sa utak ko so that I could focus on fighting. Ayoko nang maulit pa ang nangyari kanina kung saan muntikan na akong masuntok ng kalaban if only John wasn't there.

I scanned the entire area. At first, it just looks like an old abandoned warehouse. But if you will look at it closely, this warehouse is very big. May mga kuwarto sa loob and may mga hallways din gawa ng mga container bans. May second floor rin ito.

Tumingin ako sa itaas then I noticed a silhoutte. Parang pambabae ang pigura noon pero hindi ko makita nang maayos ang mukha niya dahil nagtatago siya sa dilim.

She moved to the light and that's when I noticed that it was her.

It was Veronica.

She was smirking all the way from there even though she had a lot of wounds and bruises throughout her entire body because of the fights she had encountered recently. She also looks tired but that fierce look from her face never faded.

I wonder what keeps her from going on. Just like Amy and Amber, I want to know their reason why they're doing this. The reason why they want us to suffer. And what will they get from all of this.

She jumped from the metal floor down to where we are right now and she landed gracefully. I should have been amazed right now, if she wasn't our enemy. Her skills are also definitely out of this world just like Pauline's.

Her feet touched the ground with a loud thump that caused a loud sound. That drew my comrades' attention.

"Oh, hello there." she greeted us.

She doesn't have any weapon at hand so I think she will rely on her combat skills.

Pauline, John, Krissha and I shifted to our fighting positions. All of us also has no weapon left on our hands so I think this will be a match of combat skills, indeed.
