COPULA TRILOGY: Her Vengeance

Frame #12: Her Persona

[Chapter Twelve: Her Persona]

Ilang minuto ang lumipas nang magsimula kaming magtutukan ng mga baril, neither one of us didn't drop our guns, matatalas ang mga matang nagtitigan kami.

And for my confusion, why does Life's gun is aiming at me? She's supposed to aim it to the guy in front of us, right?

I looked at her direction, matalim lamang siyang nakatingin saakin at mahigpit na nakahawak sa baril, her index finger is at the trigger; ready to pull.

"I wouldn't know that you're willing to shoot your own cousin."

Tiningnan ko ang lalaking tinututukan ko ng baril, he's too confident that I won't shoot him. Smirk was playing on my face, "Well, well, well." tinitigan ko siya. "What a wrong timing for you to show up."

Nakita ko ang pagkunot ng noo ni Shot sa bandang kaliwa ko, Life was frowning too while at my right peripheral view; Corpse doesn't seemed to mind at all.

Dahan-dahan kong binaba ang baril ko, gano'n din ang ginawa niya pero nanatili pa ring nakatutok ang mga baril ng tatlo sakanya at saakin.

Umismid ako habang nakatingin sa lalaking kaharap ko, "I don't have any connections to Morgans now, why the hell are you here?"

He shrugged cooly, "Because this is where I live now, does it matter anyway?"

After my parents burial, I didn't showed up to any of my father's relatives, I couldn't find a time because it's either I'm busy or I don't care about them anymore.

Well except for the Morgans, they've been quietly helping me through the years and I couldn't say no. Why? Neither myself doesn't know. And here he is, one of my 'cousins' from my adoptive father's side. Xandrick Morgan. On every girls view, he's feisty hot and handsome at the same time, well that's how their genes work.

"I didn't know you work for Headmistress." Nakakunot ang noo kong sabi.

He chuckled, "Well, I was curious about your job right when I heard about it. Although they doesn't know me when I was joining the service, I just told them that you and I are related and boom." he smirked. "No need for heavy trainings and I immediately became a part of the Agency."

Ngumiwi ako. I couldn't imagine that someone will use my name so they could join the service without doing any proper trainings. While me, I almost died while I'm doing my training.

"But sadly, I heard you were kicked out before because you were accused of being a double agent. Turns out, you were just a victim." Dagdag niya.

"And became friends with these fellows." He said while gesturing the three persons with us with a smirk on his face, mas lalong tumalim naman ang bawat tingin nila kay Xandrick.

Nang mapansin niyang mainit ang tingin nila sakanya ay muli siyang tumawa at nagsalita, "Could you at least tell your friends to drop their guns?"

I sighed, "Drop your guns." utos ko sakanila. Shot and Corpse followed me but Life was still aiming her gun at my direction. I gave her a dead pan look, "Are you deaf? Guns down." I ordered calmly.

Her eyes were narrowed at mine, "Right after what you did to Corpse?" she smirked. "I don't think so."

Tinitigan ko siya, nang may maisip ako ay mahina at peke akong tumawa sakanya. "Wow. I didn't know there would be a Romeo and Juliet in this place." I gave her a bored look, "Do you think I'll be scared at you? Well, this is your lucky day for you to hear from myself that fuck off and think again."

Nakita ko sa gilid ng mata ko ang pagbuka ng nakatiklop na kamay ni Xandrick na para bang naglaglag siya ng mic sa baba, I looked at him. "Same to you. Don't ever forget that I'm 5 years older than you."
