Chapter 22

Nakangiti ako habang tinatahak ang daan patungo library. Yes! I'm going to the library. Maghahanap ako ng cook book. That was the idea that came out in my mind.

I'm so brilliant!

"Ang tahimik naman..." I whispered as I look around the hallway. Bigla na lamang akong nanlamig. Inikot ko ang paningin at kumaripas ng takbo ng makaramdam ng takot.

Now I am doubting if this idea is really great.

Ayon! Pumasok ako sa library. It's still open but there's no one in here. Sobrang tahimik ng library.

And now I remember.

We went here earlier and I was scared because I felt like someone is also here.

But now I am more afraid!

I Am All Alone In This Room!!

How am I supposed to concentrate on finding the cookbook?!

Sa laki nito, I don't know if I can find it.

Damn. I really feel cold. Close naman sana ang room na 'to. There was no window inside this room. Saan nanggagaling ang hangin?

I started searching for a cookbook. This is a library so I suppose there's a cookbook here, right? Book naman 'yon. In what category will it be?

Pumunta ako sa may right wing ng library. There's a sign saying, 'Making'. Baka nandoon ang mga libro sa pagluto ng mga pagkain. Cooking is making, right?

Ano ba, just hurry up, Ella!

Niyakap ko ang sarili ko ng maramdaman na naman ang lamig ng hangin. I should have gone to the dorm and worn some thick clothes. Siguro malamig talaga dito kapag gabi.

Cooking... cooking... cookbook...

I search for it from bookshelf to bookshelf, books to books and wala pa rin akong mahanap. Nasaan ba kasi 'yon nakalagay? Inilinga ko ang aking mata.

Lumapit ako rito. It says random. May ganon pala dito? Naks. I thought everything here would be arranged accordingly. I scanned the place and I squeaked when I saw what I am looking for.

Yey!

Makakauwi na ako!

I took a step forward when I felt someone walking towards me. The footsteps are light and heavy. Marami ba sila? Sino sila?

"Who's there?" I asked having no idea if it would answer my question. Wala akong narinig bagkus ay mas bumilis pa ang paglalakad ng mga ito. The sound is getting louder and louder and I don't know why I am just standing here and doing nothing.

This is bad, right? Natatakot ako. I should run. Pero paano ko gagawin 'yon kung nakaugat ang mga paa ko sa sahig dahil sa takot. I shouldn't have gone here.

"S-Sino ang nariyan?" But maybe it's just someone who needs a book. Someone who's nice and not bad.

The tic from their footsteps became closer and closer. They're coming!

I took a step back not knowing what to do. I'm really scared.

Napatingin ako sa direksyon kung nasaan nagmumula ang mga yabag. It was dark in there. I couldn't see anything. I was looking in that direction, waiting for them to go out in the dark.

Hindi naman siguro sila masama, right?

Tick...

They wouldn't hurt me, right?
