"SADDAIN POV"

"Oh sh*t!" This tired the sh*t out of me!

When it's freezing cold and scary at the same time in this unknown place, yet I still have the courage to past this long and dark road in the middle of the night, running.

Running for my life.

*PANTING!

Escaping away those unknown guys that keeps tracking me for about a day or two. I can't scream for help even if I did so, there's no one here anyway.

Due of tiredness, I tripped.

What a stupid me! Why do I get so scared like this? It's very unlikely me to be this frightened!

'No, no! They're almost behind me. Saddain get up!' I said in my mind, encouraging myself.

Who am I kidding? I'm loosing my strength. Sure can't make a loophole in this kind of situation!

My legs are weakening, my energy is running out, but still gasping for air. I fall on my knees, chasing oxygen, and while them encircling me. I'm sure dead after this!

I can't see their faces because of some cloth mask covering. And they are wearing clothes that I'm unfamiliar with. What these guys want from me?

Four huge black cars stop right in front of me, both sides, and behind. I heard them start laughing like they are some kind of fearsome, sane people. They can't make fun of me this way!

If I wasn't bleeding now, I probably would have escaped from them a while ago. I felt so helpless. I felt so drained. They stop for a sec and little did I know...

*WHACK!

Soon I felt the pain on my back. While sensing them dragging me to one of the car. And the last thing I keep on my mind is to bash their skull once I sure got the chance.

*cough cough*

I won't deny that I smoke too but the smoke here is killin' me. Someone is hitting a cigar.

My eyes roam around when I woke up in this not-so-small room. I still kinda feel weak but the energy I have for now is enough to make an act. There's light but too dim. I found myself groaning in pain from what I get yesterday, and probably it bruised my back. At napansin ko ring may benda na ang nagdurugo kong braso kagabi pa.

My head got hot 'cause of being irritated knowing that I am being tied up on this chair. Ang mga kamay ko ay nakatali sa parehong arm rest ng kinauupuan ko habang ang mga paa ko ay nakatali rin. I can't barely move but it seems easy to remove the tie they used on me.

Then I saw two guys standing and guarding the door while the other one is sipping on a bottle of beer. They caught me trying to get loose.

"Let me outta here and get rid of this rubbish thing on my body!" They just look at me... didn't bother.

"I said untie me!"

Hindi nila ako pinakinggan kaya ako na mismo ang kumilos at humanap ng paraan para kumawala.

'Y'all dead to me'

I tried my very strength to tilt and lie on my back hoping I could break the chair. I groaned hard as I felt the pain, even more. Mabilis kong tinanggal sa katawan ko ang mga tali habang sila naman ay pinanood lang akong gawin iyon. However, the tie on my right wrist is tight so I can't get rid of it for now.

The guards approach me so I pointed the piece of wood which is about 2 meters long at them from the chair which I broke. Huminto sila saglit at nagtinginan sa isa't isa saka nagpakawala ulit ng tawa.

'What's up with these people?!'

'Thinking that I'm a piece of cake to mess up with huh?'

They dash towards me, while I dodge those lame attacks they gave. I kick this guy's ass. He dives in and falls to the other side. Hinarap ko itong humihipak ng sigarilyo niya kanina na siyang isa sa mga bantay. He rained both attacks on me that I sure held back while waiting for the time to hit his stomach using my knee. I release my fist and it lands on his face. I bash the back of his knee with this wood which made him fell and cannot stand.

I face the other one who just got up, beat him up, and whacked his face. Binalikan ko naman yung kaninang umiinom. Ng makita kong dilat pa rin siya ay pinatamaan ko ulit ng matuluyan na. And when I am complacent that they are now unconscious I tied them together then took my turn to laugh too... 'cause who cares?

'For these type of people which are now on the floor. I don't get revenge, I get even. And for those people whoever they are behind this, I'll get back at them'

I run towards the door but I can't open it. It's completely sealed, and this room is entirely closed. I can't even see the other side of this room and there's no window. I tried to make repercussions but it didn't work, even the wood I use earlier. It's too locked to break since it is made up of metal.

"Open up!" I shouted. I just punched this freakin' door due to the annoyance it made me.

But an idea light in my brain so I came close to one of the guards who was now unconscious. Kinapa ko ang bulsa niya at nakita ang bungkos na mga susi at agad ko naman itong ginamit sa pinto.

'Ahh fudge this!'

I tried the other one but it's not the right one.

'C'mon... C'mon...'

And a few more try...

"Gotcha!"

Ngunit bago ko lisanin ang kuwartong 'to ay dinala ko na rin ang kahoy na ginamit ko sa tatlo. But as soon as I opened it, a man showed up... My sight dropped at the small vertical tattoo he has slightly behind his ears on the left side of his neck.

'It looks very very familiar. I know what it is. But what does it means?'

I snapped the thought out and stare at him hard. Our eyes met, just like my eyebrows now when I saw his little smirk.

His gaze shifted to the three who are now sleeping in ache on the floor while being tied up. He turned to me again while still standing in my way.

'What am I still doing in here?! I have to make my way out'

"Excuse!" I said... stupidly.

I bumped my shoulders into him but he was hard as a rock. He did not even flinch. I'm about to raise the thing in my hand when he quickly took and threw it away.

I stared at him... badly, but with just one push from him, I fell. He grabbed my hand, the one which still has a tie, and quickly tied it onto something.

Not again!

'How come that I can't fight him?'

'I'm not this coward but why does my body wants to be still?'

I couldn't move at all. He held my jaw and tilt my face on the left side.

"Get your hands off me! You—"

RRRRIP!!

I—

I froze in my position.

HE FORCIBLY TORE MY SHIRT!!

The tear is long enough to revealed my chest in front of his face. And there, he saw my small horizontally tattoo below my right collarbone. Hindi pa rin ako makagalaw para bawian ang buwisit na 'to dahil sa ginawa niya. Tiningnan niya 'kong muli sa mata saka ako kinaladkad palabas. I didn't even notice my right hand is free now.

Yes! He did it that fast. Don't he really make a mistake and let a chance slipped out of his hands because when I find a way to get out of here right at this moment, I'm gonna kill him!

I'm literally raging! But he made sure that I am left with no choice! Grrr!

While I am trying to get loose of his tight and painful grip on me, I realize that I'm in another room already. But now there is enough light, and he left again.

I felt so caught off guard. He did it just that fast. I can't even make a single move while he was here. Stupid! Stupid!

'The heck of him touching me!'

'I'm gonna burn you all!'

I looked around, figuring out what another plan should think. When I saw something at the corner of this room attached there, I picked up the bat I saw, and came close to it while holding a bad finger.

"Watch your life, instead of mine"

*SMASHH!!*
