Villain's Ending

Chapter I: The Beginning of the End

This story may contain scenes that are triggering for some readers and find disturbing. 

Everything is blurred. I didn't recognize anything around. A warm hand in the back of my neck, and I can hear the sound of a heartbeat. Why does it seems like someone is carrying as if I'm a newborn baby?

A faceless woman told me, "Lived a happy life, Herèsilia." And I almost reached her face. However, my eyes opened slowly, but I shielded my eyes against the dazzling declining sun. 

I sat. "Arghhh!" As I touched my head because of the pain.

The dream keeps appearing whenever I sleep. The voice of the faceless woman is familiar to me, but I have never met anyone who has that voice.

But also, why did she keep saying those words? Sometimes she cries whenever she says it. Forget the nonsense because I'm a busy person who has to focus on something more important than this ridiculous dream.

Against my own will, I stood up to get ready for work. "Haysst." I sighed and stretched my neck.

Bumaba ako ng matapos ako magdamit at pumunta sa kitchen para magbreakfast. Inamoy ko muna ang pagkain ko kung panis ba ito o hindi. 

Ini-atras ko paalis ang plato hanggang sa nahulog ito at bumagsak. "Ahh!!" Napasigaw ang isa naming maid dahil sa gulat. 

Inis kong inikot ang mata ko. "One more mistake, and I'll slice your fingers off." I warned them, and they looked terrified.

One of them came over to clean up the mess. The maid's eyebrows were lowered and pulled closer together while cleaning the mess. "Arte arte eh anak lang naman sa labas." Parinig niya habang ako ay umiinom ng kape.

Lumingon ako sa kanya at ibinuhos ang mainit na kape na ini-inom ko. "Ahhh!! Tulong!!" Sigaw niya abang hinahawakan ang mukha at agad itong pumunta sa lababo.

"Such a pity." Nagkunwaring akong naawa nung lumapit ako sa kanya at binasag ang baso sa wall kaya napasigaw ang ibang maid. "Unfortunately, the water isn't too hot to burn your face." Tumingin ako sa mukha niya na namumula. "Does it hurt?" I touched her face and moved my hand in her hair to tweaked it. 

"Aray!!"

"Then, die." I was on the verge of moving the piece of broken glass closer to her neck, but suddenly someone called my name.

Oh, it was my brother, Klaus.

"What the h8ck you are doing, Lia!?" Galit niyang sambit sa akin. "Are you a murderer? You are crazy! Why would you kill our maid?" He clenched his jaw and glared at me.

"Do you want to be next?" I threw the maid at him, and gave a icy stare.

Hinawakan niya mabuti ang maid at pinalapit sa katabi niyang maid. "You are insane!" Sigaw niya sa akin. "We're going crazy looking for Cecilia, and then you are here, committing a crime! Wow! You helped a lot!"

It's already a crime, even though I'm only breathing.

"You should be grateful to be my sister because I could send you to jail sooner." Napahawak siya sa kanyang noo at saka napabuntong hininga.

"I'll be more grateful if you did that." Ininom ko ang tubig na nasa table. "Ahmm." I gulped to show them that myself wandering around freely. "See? I'm a murderer and drinking the water freely. So, I should be grateful because I'm not in jail. Nice! It made my life more worst, just nice!" I smiled sarcastically.

I rather rot in the prison than seeing myself rotting in this f*****g house! I'm suffocating myself, argh!

Tumigil ako sa isang gasolinahan dahil malapit na maubos ang gas ng sasakyanan ko. Bumaba muna ako para bumili ng cigarette at bubblegum. Umalis na ako matapos akong magbayad.

Nagring yung selpon ko kaya kinuha ko ito sa purse ko at sinagot. "Hello?" Bati ko kay Chloe na kaibigan ko.

"Herèsilia, where are you? Zelan accused you of k********g Cecelia. A lot of police are looking for you." Chloe said in a trembling voice. "I hope you are safe. I know you didn't do it, right?" She reassured.

"What... if I do?" I immediately hung up the call. 

I'm afraid to hear your answer because I can't hear hurtful words anymore. Haha, I'm such a coward, but who cares? No one ever cares about me.

When I arrived at the bus station, I took my baggage and went straight to the bathroom to change my clothes. I wore my black leggings and t-shirt, then my white cap. After that, I covered my face with a mask and sunglasses.

Paglabas ko sa banyo ay may nabanga ako ng isang lalaki. "I'm sorry." I left to go to the parking lot wherein one of my cars parked.

Dumating na ako sa isang abandonadong apartment kung saan ko tinatago si Cecelia. Umaakyat ako papunta sa 3rd floor at bago ko buksan ang pinto ay palingon lingon ako sa gilid. Niligay ko ang bag ko sa lamesa at kinuha ang binili kong adobong rice at mineral na tubig.

I just bought it because the cashier can't give me the change.

Pumasok ako sa kwarto kung nasaan si Cecelia nakatali at bumungad sa akin ang pagmamakawa niya. "Palayain mo ako, Herèsilia. Nagmamakaawa ako sayo." Cecelia begged while her hands are tied, and I gave her an evil smile.

Nilagay ko muna ang susi at cellphone sa table bago ako lumapit sa kanya. "I can't hear you, my dear, Cecelia," I said as I put my hand to my ear. "Say it, Cecelia!!" I said and laughed devilishly, and tears flooded her eyes.  

"Nagmamakaawa ako. Gagawin ko lahat kung anong gusto mo." Pagmamakawa niya sa akin.

Binigay sa kanya ang binili ko. "Here! Eat it like a mad dog." I laughed deviously.

"You are insane." She whispered.

"Yes, when did I'm not?" I pulled her hair and look to her eyes. "I'm always the insane in your eyes." Kinuha ko ang p*******i ng kamay niya. "Kainin mo yan bago pa kita mapatay."

Nagsimula siyang kumain na parang aso at kinuha ko naman ang lighter ko para magsigarilyo. Napa-ubo naman siya ng inilabas ko ang masamang usok ng sigarilyo. "Tss." Singhal ko at lumabas.

Cecilia was unable to escape since her feet were wearing cuffs like a dog.

Pumunta ako sa rooftop para magpahangin. Habang nagsisigariliyo ako sa rooftop ay nakakita ako ng ilaw na kulay red at blue kaya tumakbo ako papunta kay Cecelia. Pagbukas ko sa pinto ay hawak na ni Cecelia ang cellphone ko.

Napatawa nalang ako ng malakas. Inilabas ko ang b***l at tinutok sa kanya. "Put it down." I whispered, and she putted it down.

Lumapit ako sa kanya at tumakbo kami papunta sa rooftop habang nakatuktok sa kanya ang b***l dahil marami ng nakapaligid na pulis sa baba kasama na sina Zelan.

We were already surrounded by police when we arrived on the rooftop. As a result, I didn't get a chance to open the secret passage door.

"Don't come near if you don't want me to kill this dog!" I threatened.

"Put the g*n down." Police said while holding a g*n.

Lahat na b***l ay nakatuktok sa akin at napatigil ang tingin ko sa isang pulis— Siya yung nabanga ko sa banyo.

"Kailangan mo bang gawin yan?" Tanong niya.

"Stop your sh1t, Lia!!" My brother shouted.

Nakaguhit sa mukha niya na kaya niya akong patayin para lang tumahimik ako.

"Wag mo siya inisin." My brother's friend said. 

Why are they here? Am I that famous? Nice!

"Let's talk about this, Lia. You don't need to that, and put the g*n down." Itinaas niya ang kanyang kamay para ibaba ito.

What do you mean wag akong inisin? I'm already insane!!

"Please don't hurt her." Zelan said, and I looked at him as if he's joking.

Oh, he goes again, protecting his girl.

I gave him a evil laughter, "So, what? If I hurt her? Will you get mad at me again?" Mas itinutok ko sa ulo niya ang b***l. "I want you, Zelan," I whispered. "And, you are meant to be min—." I didn't finish my last word when someone shot a g*n at me.

My body started to fall on the ground. "Her–." Wala na akong marinig at unting unti lumabo ang paningin ko hanggang umitim lahat.

It's not something I expected to happen. I expected to be locked up in jail. But, I suppose this is better.

I got the peace I wanted.

The peace I wanted...

I shouted as my eyes opened, "Aaahhhh!!" Napabangon ako sa higaan ko.
