🗡Left In The Woods🗡
                          
••Vladimir's POV••
                          
I'm sincere when I said those words habang nakangiti sa kanya pero sya naka kunot noo lang na nakatingin saken.
                          
"Have you lost your mind??" She looks so serious when she ask those question
                          
"No... The last time I check its still intact pero handa naman akong mawala sa katinuan just for you.." I jokingly replied habang nakatingin parin sa mga mata nia.
                          
As I look into her eyes the more I want to get drown in it..
                          
her sadness is really visible when she's serious even when she smile its still there ..
                          
those mysterious pair of orbs of hers that feels like It always have tons of stories to tell..
                          
I wonder how more beautiful it gonna be once those sadness is gone from her eyes..
                          
"Nasisiraan kana nga.." Sabay irap nia saken na kinatawa ko naman..
                          
She remained silent and just rest her head on the tree habang naka pikit..
                          
maybe she gonna take a nap since presko naman dito at mga huni ng ibon at halaman lang ang maririnig dahil sa hangin..
                          
She looks so peaceful when she's like that even though her eyes still swollen from crying too much that even her nose and cheeks is in reddish complexion but without any impurities... 
                          
She sleeps like an angel she is..
                          
"You're weird.." Sya habang nakapikit... I was a bit surprise na gising pa pala sya..
                          
"Thats your second time.." Sagot ko habang 
inuumpisahan ng linisin ung kalat mula sa ginamit kong pang gamot kanina...
                          
"Be ready,,, there's more to come." 
                          
"I'm looking forward to it but I wanna know what's your reason for calling me weird now?" Tanong ko sa kanya..
                          
"It's just that, you're weird.... how can you keep that eye to eye contact with me and even staring for too long without breaking away first?? some people told me that they can't look at my eyes for too long cause my eyes looks too intimidating to them but most of the time because it looks scary and unkind.." Napatingin ako bigla sa kanya sa sinabi nyang yon. 
                          
"And you believe those?."
                          
"I don't...but some part of me yes.."
                          
"Don't always believe on those people..its either they are jealous of you or They just dont know how to appreciate what you have..but learn to appreciate yourself first so you won't be affected by those kind of words easily.."
                          
"But if you gonna ask me.. I don't think your eyes is unkind, scary or intimidating.. For me it looks fascinating.." Pag amin ko sabay tingin sa kanya .. 
                          
"Weird ka nga..." Ayon lang tanging sagot nia habang nakapikit paren.. 
                          
I don't know if its just me or its just my imagination playing tricks on me now but I saw a faint smile that forming on her Lips... 
                          
Although its faint.. what i saw is a genuine one..
                          
I just continued cleaning ng tahimik and put back my lunchbox and also the firstaid kit inside my bag at sumandal na ulit sa puno since I can't just leave her alone here..
                          
I just rest my head and close my eyes ..
.
.
.
.
Napamulat nalang ako na makaramdam ako ng lamig at pananakit ng leeg..
                          
But what surprise me the most is that when I saw that its already night time at napaka dilim na ng paligid dahil nasa likuran ito ng university at idagdag pa na mapuno sa lugar na to ...
                          
Patay ako nito..
                          
I checked my wrist watch and its almost 9 already...
                          
I quickly gathered my stuff and quickly run away from that area dahil baka pagsiraduhan nako ng guards dahil closing is exact 9PM...
                          
"Blooddd~~~"
                          
I heard a low tone of woman's voice from somewhere around the woods kaya mas lalo kong binilisan kilos ko at agad na tumakbo ng mabilis palayo roon at wala ng lingon lingon pa..
                          
May nagmumulto pa naman daw sa university nato.. 
                          
I just run as fast as I could but i decided to stop for a bit to catch my breath sa may mailaw na lugar..
                          
"Bat ba kase napaka laki ng university nato??" Mahinang reklamo ko sabay kuha ng panyo sa bulsa para magpunas ng pawis..
                          
Pero habang nagpupunas ako I smell something unfamiliar on my clothes.. 
                          
It smells like a female perfume...
                          
"Why do I have this smell?" I asked myself and check my uniform at laking gulat ko pa dahil may ilan marka pa ng natuyong dugo 
akong nakita..
                          
After a few seconds my eyes grew wider and quickly look back on the place behind the campus kung san ako nang galing kanina...
                          
"Si Ms.Gil !!" After realizing I left someone behind mabilis pa sa alas-kwatro akong tumakbo ulit pabalik sa likod ng university 
                          
Ung pagod ko kanina parang biglang nawala.. At ngayon gusto ko ng sapakin sarili ko dahil nakalimutan ko sya don...
                          
Maybe that's her who called Blood or Vlad kanina bago ko tumakbo paalis don..
                          
Arghhhhh!!!! What did you do now Vladimir???!
                          
i use all my strength to go back to that place and when im almost there, I saw Ms.Gil na naglalakad habang nakatingin sa lupa dahil madilim at malubak sa dinadaanan nia at para syang zombie na naglalakad sa dilim since shes wearing a high heeled shoes at dahil narin siguro sa pagod o dahil sa sakit ng katawan..
                          
i decided to just run to her and i think she notice me dahil dahan dahan syang nag angat ng tingin habang masamang nakatitig sa direksyon ko.
                          
She looks so scary right now and it feels like she gonna punch me on my face pag lumapit ako...
                          
I decided to just walk at nung nasa harap nia nako huminto rin sya sa paglalakad nia
                          
I was about to say something ng inunahan nia nako..
                          
"You know what..? Ok kana sana eh... kaso nakakapang init ka ng ulo alam mo yon??" She's glaring at me while saying those words 
                          
I was about to walk more closer to her to apologize ng magsalita sya ulit..
                          
"Hwag ka munang lalapit sakin ngayon Vladimir at baka kung anong magawa ko sayo at mailibing kita ng buhay dito sa kinatatayuan ko ngayon din mismo.." May bantang sabi nia..
                          
i know she's just joking with her words..
                          
But chills run down from my spine when I look at her eyes and her face says she's really serious..
                          
Para akong naging bato sa kinatatayuan ko.
                          
"May pa I'll be your Mermaid, mermaid kapang nalalaman..lumangoy ka mag isa mo!.." Paos ang boses nia pero halata ang matinding inis 
                          
Maybe thats why I didnt hear her properly before and thought its just my hallucination that I heard a woman's voice..
                          
Maybe she lost her voice from crying too much...
                          
 i was about to apologize pero diko na nagawa dahil nilagpasan nia nako habang nakatitig saken ng masama..
                          
I just look at her from behind hanggang sa lumiko na sya sa kung saan..
                          
"D*mn!! Why did I forgot about her???" I frustratedly whispered to myself while scratching my head..
