Chapter 26: Cruel Fate

Chapter 26: Cruel Fate

MY GROOMING with Captain Onyx ended, and that was my most comfortable bathe with someone. I admit having already morphed makes a lot of advantage for hybrids like me, we can freely do things without any malice and issues. And it's flabbergasting how we connect with our minds.

"Are you not going to morph into human yet?" Captain asked.

I immediately looked at him, he was staring at me as if I was the only creature in the world. I have no idea why that thought came out from my mind, but it was the thing I've read from his mesmerizing eyes.

"I think I need to get used being Filis nigripis."

"Astonishing how you were able to wipe everyone out. My girl did a very good job out there."

"Of course it was astonishing because you never expected me to do anything in the first place." I started running towards Captain and jumped at his back. "Well, it does make sense to me now. Living with no expectations is better because people will be amaze the moment you do something they don't expect."

"See, just be thankful with your life. We, men, are struggling with the expectations of this Kingdom."

"That's why need to suggest equity! We are also struggling since everyone lacks trust and respect to us."

I started stinging my claw on Captain's back.

His tail suddenly wagged. "What are you doing at my back by the way? And please stop harrowing me, do you plan to take my skin away?"

I just smiled. "I'm on the top of the world!"

Captain roared. "How come you're on top of the world? You're just a kitty playing at my back."

And then suddenly, playful words came barging in my mind exiting abundantly from my mouth without any hesitation.

"You are my world." I responded and started balancing on his back without properly realizing what I've said.

Kaya naman nang nanahimik si Kap ay nahinto ako sa paglikot at tuluyang inisip kung ano ang problema sa sinabi ko. Ganoon ko na lamang kabilis ba naramdaman ang aking pamumula at agad na bumawi.

"L-let's just say you are the world and I'm on top of you- so-"

"On top of me?"

Shit. Mukhang mas napamali ako doon ah. Ganoon na lamang ako kabilis na napatalon pababa sa kaniyang likod. At sa isang iglap ay bumalik na ako sa pagiging tao nang hindi sa kaniya lumilingon. Tinamaan ako ng napakabigat na hiya, pakiramdam ko'y nag-iinit ang pisngi ko ng sobra, hindi lang ang pisngi ko kundi literal na nag-aalab ang katawan ko.

Naramdaman ko ang bahagyang paghalakhak ni Kap sa aking likuran. Nakasunod siya kaagad sa akin, ibig sabihin lamang ay bumalik na rin siya sa pagiging tao.

"Idiot." Dinig kong sabi niya na mas lalo kong ikinahiya. "I'm hope you're the one who's pretty aware of the words coming out from your mouth, kitty."

DAHIL AGAD na bumuti ang pakiramdam ng mga kasama ko sa tulong ng potion na padala ng Mama ko ay hindi na kami nagsayang ng oras pa. Naghanda na kami para sa kaniya-kaniya naming responsibilidad, umaasa nang maya't maya ay may anunsyo galing sa palasyo para sa rurok ng laro. Ang kaibahan nga lamang ay doble ingat na silang lahat at hindi na ako naeetsepwera.

Sabay-sabay kaming napalingon sa biglang nagliwanag na kalangitan, at nang oras na iyon alam naming iyon na ang sukdulan ng aming laban para sa Alpha Cup.
