Chapter 3 Part 3

"Aaahh! Your eyes!!!"

I stood up in my seat while the whole class stared. Mrs. Arguelles also stopped lecturing.

I pointed at Michael. Why is that? Michael's eyes weren't like that yesterday, huh? What happened?

"MS. DE LEON!! CARE TO TELL WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU SCREAMING ABOUT?!!!" Mrs. Arguelles started spitting again.

"Ah eh. . Michael's eyes.. what.. they're c-cute." I'm lying.

Our classmates cheered and started teasing. which Mrs. Arguelles immediately reprimanded.

I looked at Michael. He was looking at me. And I know he knows that's not what I want to say. His one eye in the middle of his forehead stared at me seriously.

"So you find Mr. Reyes cute, may you sit down now Ms. De leon."

"Y-yes Mam," I answered and hurriedly sat down. Stay away from Michael as much as possible.

Jusko! What am I seeing? Since last night, strange creatures have been coming out one after another. What happened to my eye and it looks like I have grown a third eye?

Aila drew me who was positioned behind me. "What show is that?" he asked. Down! If everything was just a show, there wouldn't be an ending. It seems that everything is just beginning.

I just smiled at him and shook my head. I can still feel Michael's gaze on my side.

Breaktime when I could breathe easy again. During the whole class I just bent over and hardly breathed.

I immediately rushed to the clinic to have my eyes checked but I backed away when I saw a student inside the clinic. He is also a strange creature...

Terrible. Yay!

He has two faces, one at the front and one at the back of his head. and the doctor examining its back didn't even notice it.

The two-faced keep on talking. I know her, Renee. President of the drama club and famous for having split personality disorder. Now, I know why.

I just went back to the Cafeteria because I'm just crazy, I'm going crazy with what I'm seeing. I don't want anymore. I give up.

"Hey! What's wrong?" Aila blocked my path. His face showed surprise and concern. He must have seen that I was about to cry.

"W-nothing. My head just hurts." I sat in an empty chair. I saw Michael in the distance looking at me and he was with another person like him. Meaning, one eye as well.

I just grabbed my head and pulled it out.

"You should just go to the clinic. You looked horrible," said Aila.

"I don't want it, there's a monster there."

"What?!" Aila shouted.

"I knew it!"

I opened my eyes and saw Renee- the two-faced girl standing in front of me. I stood up. Even though he looked scary, I was a little relieved because he was smiling.

"Can I talk to you for a sec?" Renee asked. He was talking to me but he was looking at Michael's behavior.

I looked at Aila and she nodded even though her face was a bit confused.

"All right."

I followed Renee, just looking at what I was passing by because I didn't want to see another face of hers.

He took me to the HQ of the Drama Club. I know he will talk to me about what he heard. He made me sit in a chair that was there.

"First thing first, I won't eat you so you can look at me," Renee said. I looked up at him. I can't read her face. if she's angry or what. He is not scary to look at. When you overcome the weirdness of her face, you can see that she's pretty. It's hard to say which of her two faces is more beautiful.

"Ahem.."

"I know that you saw me, the real me I mean. when I saw you at the clinic I can see it in your eyes that it's open. I saw the real me reflected in your eyes."

Renee sat in front of me.

"You can see dark creatures, can't you?" he asked.

I nodded. Dark creatures, that's what they are.

"S-Michael and his partner..."

"They're Norim. One-eyed creatures, sometimes they were called cyclopes. I'm a Cleggos, two-faced. We're monsters in human words... oh yes!" He saw me gasp. "But the important thing is, we are not monsters. We're from Underworld but now, we peacefully lived and interact with human. well, some of us. There are still evil creatures, and they're still there on dark. Bidding their time. I'm warning you, from now on don't look on anyone's eyes except on those whom you trust. I know you're not a hunter--"

"Hunter?"
