Silverthorne Series - Angels and Demons

Going Under part 1

Dahly's POV

I can't sleep, this freakin inability to obtain an adequate amount or quality of sleep even amidst a tired mind and body, in other words insomnia, pinahaba pa talaga noh? adik lang?

I decided na sa sala mag-work, wala lang I have this hunch that something might come up and I need to be there, at dito ko na rin siguro hihintayin si JN. Isa pa nasusuffocate ako sa room ko, nakadagdag pa sa inability to sleep ko ang thought that ako at si JN lang ang matutulog dun mamaya, WAAAAHHHHH di kaya ng puso, atay at balunbalunan ko ang mga nangyayari baka ano na talaga magawa ko sa kanya, WAAAAAHHHano ba pinagsasabi ko, si Devon kasi pinopollute yung utak kong dati ng polluted, what? ano raw?

Hay naku ewan ang gulo ko. Kanina pa ako nakatitig sa screen ng laptop ko, I'm trying to read the financial report ng academy, pero wala talagang pumapasok sa utak ko my mind is else where. 

Bumuntong hininga ako and closed my eyes, I tried to let my thoughts fly, longing suddenly crept in, I long for the ordinary girl who lived in a pink room surrounded by anime posters, letting time fly as her mind drifted into crazy imagery, that girl who simply just dream of becoming a writer someday or perhaps be Kurama's princess. The girl who lived a life of simple mindedness yet with a crazy twist, Yeah hell right Imiss the old me, my family, my life before and everything I held on to that time, yet I don't have any regrets with the life I have now, It may be a bit complex with my neck at stake but it is worth it. 

My trail of thoughts got distrated by footsteps going down the stairs, cautious footsteps with a purpose, whatever that purpose is, I could only guess? Based on the feline like soft steps, babae ito at 3 lang kaming girl dito, hindi ganyan maglakad si Shy, she walks like a ballerina if she tries to be cautious, ito parang isang thief na natatakot mahuli, so I guess it's Carmela. Alangan naman ako? andito ako nakaupo sa sala.

"Where are you going Carmela?" I asked with my eyes closed.

"Just going out for a walk" sagot niya, tama ako si Carmela nga at base sa tono ng boses niya nagulat siya, for what? dahil nahuli siya or dahil alam ko na siya?

I opened my eyes and looked at her, she was at the bottom of the stairs, di siguro niya ako napansin since ang mas mataas ang back rest ng chair kaysa height ko pag nakaupo so nakatago talaga ako. 

"It's dangerous to take a stroll outside when all of us are already inside" sabi ko sa kanya while I looked at her with scrutiny, curious ako sa isasagot niya, since I saw her I know there is something na dapat kong bantayan sa kanya, ganun na rin kay Markus at Jeremy, parang meron talaga akong dapat e discover about them.

I could tell she looked confused sa sinabi ko. 

"The grounds is equipped with a state of the art security system that relies solely on registered identities, which means kami lang mga taga rito ang inaacknowledge ng system. Without me or Cy Cy deactivating it, anyone aside from us na madedetect ng sytem would surely end up as a pile of ashes. If you would like to end up like that be my guess" paliwanag ko sa kanya. 

She looked troubled after I explained that. I felt a smirk form sa mukha ko, I just love her reaction it's priceless. Then I heard Argen call out my name,

"Dahly, we need to go to Davao now!" nanlilisik ang mga mata at nanginginig sa takot o kaya galit ang itsura ni Argen when he emerged from the connecting door ng kitchen at living room.

"What happened?" aligaga kong tanong, pumasok kaagad sa utak ko na si Old Man, Marah at Devon lang ang naiwan dun, pinabakasyon nila ang iilang guards dun since they don't want to overwork them. Full alert sila ng andun kami lahat, why now? Pucha! sabi ko na nga ba hindi magandang ideya yun, I'll really kick Devon's sorry ass mamaya.
