บท 5: Nightmare 004
Ridget/Tigress' POV:
"Is she really a girl?"
"I dunno man. Why don't we check it out?"
"Nah man we can be accused of r****g."
"Right man. But is she a she?"
Two voices woke me up from my deep, painful slumber. Before opening my eyes, I tried to check what my body feels. My back is still stinging, so are both of my arms.
"Oh, she awake bro." I heard the first voice said.
"Uh what are we going to tell her?" Said the second voice. Huh, their voice is the same...
"I don't know. Uhm...Uh how about she's soaking from her own blood?" What the first or second voice said made me open my eyes and sat up quickly.
"Holy f*ck!" I shouted when I saw my shirt. I looked down and saw there's also a blood stain on the couch where I slept.
"Sh*t!" I shouted again when I saw two guys—wait is it one? Is my vision playing with me? Because right now I can see two guys with the same freakin' face!
And they're both only wearing boxers!
"W-where am I?" I asked roaming my eyes inside the room. And when I looked back at them, I accidentally met both of their eyes and saw something in them.
G-glutton...
"Glutton..." I whispered, which they heard.
"Oh, you know us? Hi!" The first guy said.
"We're basically kings of course she knows us." The other answered.
"Anak ng pitumput-pitong puting tupa." I exclaimed. They both looked at me, confused.
"What'd she say?"
"Dunno. I didn't understand it either." The other twin said looking as confused as the other.
"You—you're not Filipinos?" I asked.
"What, us? Filipinos? Nah man we're American." They both said in unison. My brows just furrowed as I try to assess what's just happened and what they just said.
"So...are you really a girl?" One of them asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" I asked them, rolling my eyes.
'Well, nope. For the fact that you're wearing overs-sized clothes, plus we can't see your face, we ain't believing you a girl." The other said.
"Honestly you look like a guy to me." The other one agreed while nodding.
"Excuse me?!" Nao-offend na singhal ko.
"Unless we see it for ourselves."
"You won't mind if we check it, right?" They both said and walked towards me.
"W-what are you planning?" I asked. They didn't answer instead they just continued to walk towards me.
One of them tried to touch me but I immediately get ahold of the pillow beside me. I used it to hit his face while I kicked the other twin. I immediately stood up. My bruises are stinging, and I can feel blood oozing out of them, but I didn't mind it. I walked backwards until my back hit the wall.
Both got up and started to walk towards me again.
"S-stay there as*h*les." I warned.
"Both of you stop it." We all looked at the person who spoke. I was mesmerized the moment I saw him, or her?
"Oh, come on Lulu we're just joking! We ain't doing anything to her." They both said.
"You better not. Or else Wrath will hunt you for the rest of your ghostly and shifter life." He/She said.
This person is wearing a pink shirt and a black leather pants. Paired with a 5-inch heels. His/Her body frame is covered with natural-colored white long hair. I think he's a he? Cause Lani said Nightmare's an all-boys school.
"I'm sorry for what they did, hun. It won't happen again." He apologized and glared at the twins.
"Y-you're..." I couldn't finish my sentence. It's like my tongue got tied.
"Feminine? I always get that." He continued for me and chuckled.
"Tall. You're tall. How can someone be this tall? And why wear heels when you're this tall?" I suddenly blurted out. I immediately covered my mouth and looked down. "Sorry." I apologized. I felt his soft hands patting my head...God even his hands are soft. I'm a little jealous. Sana all malambot ang kamay!
"You're cute. Come here I'll treat your wounds—Oh my goodness! You're soaking with blood! En! En honey!" He called out. The guy he called En appeared out of nowhere.
"Yes, Lu?" He said. He looked at me and gave me a warm smile.
"Get a new shirt in my closet. Pick the smallest one." He ordered. En nodded and disappeared.
"What's your name?" Lulu then turned to me.
"R—Tigress." I gave him my 'nickname' since Lani told me that we shouldn't tell anyone our real name.
"Nice to meet you, Tigress. I'm Lulu." Lulu introduced. I looked up at him, only to meet his eyes.
Lust...he's lust.
"Is something wrong?" Lulu asked when he saw I froze. I immediately shook my head.
"N-no." I answered, looking down.
"So, you're a hybrid?" He proceeded to ask. I shook my head no.
"I don't know, actually." I said. He then sat behind me. I felt his hand on the hem of my blood-soaked shirt.
"Do you mind?" he asked. I inhaled deeply before shaking my head. He won't do anything to me, right? I can feel he's trustworthy.
"H-how long have I been sleeping?" I asked, trying not to make the situation awkward.
"2 days. You've slept for 2 days. You're lucky you're still alive. You lost a lot of blood. And I couldn't treat you cause, well, basically you're girl. And I might be accused of you know what." He explained. My eyes widened.
"What?!" I'm shocked—no. I'm way more than shocked. 2 days! I've been sleeping and soaking with blood for 2 days?! And I'm still breathing?!
"Well, if you're not a hybrid, then how come—" He stopped talking as soon as he lifted the shirt covering my back. I looked at him, only to see his brows furrowed. "Are you sure you're not a hybrid?" He asked. I gave him a nod.
"Well, I-I'm not a vampire, I'm also not a shifter. Obviously not a ghost or a glitch." I said, stating the obvious.
"Hmm, your wounds are...nowhere to be found." He said. He then looked at me, so I immediately averted my eyes.
"Here 'ya go." En appeared and handed the 'smallest' shirt he got from Lulu's closet. My eyes widened when I saw it's still new because it still has its tag.
"I—I can't accept that." I said and shook my head.
"Go on, luv. It's fine. It's a small thing. You need to change or else those bloodsuckers might smell your scent." Lulu said and rolled his eyes.
"But—" One of the twins interrupted me.
"Do you want us to change your shirt for you?" he said, smirking. I immediately took the cloth and glared at the one who spoke.
"F*ck off." I said. "G—" I stopped when I remembered something.
"What is it?" Lulu asked worriedly.
"M-my...Green. Where's green?" I started to panic.
"Who's green?" En asked.
"Oh, the little thing? She left. She said she's going to get someone I dunno the name." The twins said.
"I think she's a pixie. What about you dude?" One of them said.
"A fairy." The other one answered.
"Aren't pixie and fairy the same?" They asked each other the same question.
"No, they're not! Pixies are much smaller than us fairies." I looked at the green little creature flying toward us.
"Green!" I called.
"OMG Tigress!" Doon ko lang na-realize kung sino yung 'someone' na tatawagin ni Green.
"Messi?" Gulat na tawag ko.
"Move b*tches I'm the bestfriend." Lani said and ran towards me. His eyes widened when he saw my shirt. "Nope. Wrong decision." He retreated and covered his nose. I looked at my shirt and realized I haven't changed yet.
"The restroom's over there. Take your time hun. We'll entertain the guests." Lulu said and gave me a sweet smile. I nodded and went to the restroom. I took off my shirt and wiped my arms as fast as I can. And then I put on the shirt, which covered almost my whole body. It looked like an over-sized dress to me.
After I cleaned myself, I went out. They all stopped talking the moment I stepped out of the restroom. Which made me nervous.
"What?" I asked them. They all went silent for a minute. Lulu broke the silence with a sigh.
"Well—" He was immediately cut off by the Glutton twins.
"Your mate is searching for you so you can't get out there." The shifter said.
"Who knows what he might do to you once he found or get ahold of you." The ghost said. Lani made a subtle move but I was quick to catch it. he tried to put his arm behind him.
"Is that why?" I said and pointed the scratch I just saw on Lani's arm.
"Oh this? Pfft it's just a little scratch. Don't worry." He said and laughed. But I know I saw him wince a little. It looked like it's still fresh.
"You need to stay here for a while. Until Wrath got distracted and stop his company searching for you." Lulu said.
"Speaking of, we got company." We all looked at En who's standing beside the door.
"Gluttons please entertain our guests here, hmm? Don't do anything stupid or I'm going to pour orange juice on your game consoles." Lulu ordered and stood up.
The twins immediately nodded and tried to entertain us, but my eyes remained looking at Lulu and En talking beside the door. Then, En nodded and was about to open the door, but my subconscious side wants me to do something. And it tells me to stop them.
"No, wait!" I said. En stopped and looked at me. All of them turned to look at me. "D-don't open. It's dangerous. Shifters. Outside." I said in a small voice. But I know they heard me.
"How did you know?" Luan asked.
"J-just a hunch." I said and stood up. I walked towards the door. "I'll open it." I said. They we're about to stop me but I held the doorknob and twisted it.
And I'm...right? Standing outside are 4 shifters, growling. But stopped when they saw it was me who opened the door.
"W—" I stopped the shifter from talking by raising my hand.
"I know. I will come. I'm not yet dressed. I'm not wearing underneath this shirt." I said and was about to close the door, but the tiger-shifter stopped it.
"You need to come with us. Now." He said. I don't know why but my blood boiled. I opened the door wide and stepped out, glaring at them. They we're startled but managed to compose themselves immediately.
"What part of I am not wearing anything underneath this shirt don't you f*cking understand?! I'm just going to get dressed! I'm not running away id*ots! Wait here and after 5 minutes I will get out." I said and slammed the door shut.
"Told 'ya. Girls are scary when they're mad." The Glutton twins said.
"She isn't just a girl." Said Lani and walked towards me. "Tigress..." he called. His face screams worry.
"Look, I need to do this. Or else they might hurt you. I couldn't bear that in my conscience." I explained and looked down. He just sighed and hugged me.
"Be careful. We'll be waiting for you outside their dorm. If he tries to hurt you or touch you, run immediately." Bilin niya. I nodded and hugged him too. Green sat on my shoulder and gave me a nod.
"I'll be here to protect you, Tig." She said.
"Wait, I thought you're not wearing underneath?" Messi stopped me when i faced the door again. I shook my head.
"I'm not stupid to not wear anything underneath this shirt in a room full of boys." I said and laughed a little. I inhaled deeply, possibilities of what Wrath's gonna do when he sees me came flooding in my head, but I shoo it all away. So, with my heart beating out of my chest, I opened the door and stared at the guys waiting outside.
