Our Secret (A MingPha Story)

17. Ming's Wrath

A/N:

This chapter will be long, very long. Okay, maybe not that long. It will be sorely focused on Ming's POV and what happened before Phana got kidnapped and during the kidnap. I'll do my best to describe everything clearly without any confusion.

I believe there is some confusion from the last chapter, so let me clarify (maybe?) to the best that I can without revealing what is not supposed to be revealed... yet.

Let's enjoy the story!

*****

Shoosh!

I hear a rustling and some creaking, assuming someone came inside my room. My instincts are high on alert, carefully uncoil my arm away from Phana. I tap my little hidden stick inside my pyjama pants and grip it hard, listening to heavy breathing that is not mine.

"Who's there?" I unclick my stick and pull it out. As I prepare to leap out of bed, I hear a familiar sound.

"Ming," A light airy whisper calls out my name. I blink clearly and pull out the stick, turning on the flashlight. An image of P'Beam appears in my vision. I relax slowly and get to my feet.

"P'Beam, you scared me," I sign. "Is something wrong?"

Beam takes a shaky breath. He fixates his eyes on Phana who is currently tucked away into the covers, his long locks of dark hair messing over his forehead. I follow his gaze and reach Phana's beautiful profile. I still can't believe he's mine. He rolls nearer to my side of the bed and hugs the pillow, mumbling my name in his sleep. Nothing in this world could make me not smile at that sight.

"Ming..." Beam speaks up again. "I'm worried. Somehow, I feel like something is about to happen. I feel like we did something wrong... Maybe it's our plan, maybe it's the enemy, maybe it's just me ov-"

"P'Beam... We're all here, we'll make sure everyone is safe," I reassure him. I mean it. I will give my life to protect them. Every single one. Beam nods and breaks a smile.

"Thanks, Ming, I'm glad Phana has you. Now, let me get back to my room before Forth goes crazy."

"Let me send you back, it'll be fast," I stop at Phana's side and place a kiss on his hair. "Wait for me baby, I'll be right back."

Walking out of the room, I notice a slight tremble on the ground. Weird. I would have gotten an alert if there was an attack. I tap on the earpiece in my left ear. It works. Moving closer to P'Forth's room, again, I notice a dimmer light along the hallway. The hairs on my back are standing up. This is not good.

I detect a movement at seven o'clock and duck my head, pulling P'Beam lower with me. I hear a gunshot and my eyes turn dark. I shout into the earpiece, why isn't Kao or Earth notified?!

"Code Red! North-East Wing!"

P'Beam pulls out his pistol and shoots the figure. He rushes to the door and bangs on the door. P'Forth opens within seconds and our guard is lowered for a moment. P'Forth is safe. P'Beam hisses at him to be prepared.

"P'Forth, P'Beam, go to your place! I'll alert the rest!" I shout as more shots are fired at us. I curse loudly, realizing my weapon is back in the room. I dash faster to P'Max and P'Park's rooms which are situated next to each other. I see P'Park walking out with P'Lam, their murderous aura unleashes almost immediately. P'Lam nods to me before running to meet Fiat. P'Max and P'Tul run out of their room half-dressed, P'Tul takes off to meet up with P'Beam. The rest of us make our way to Earth and Kao.

We encounter too many men along the way. I realize our earpieces are hacked and switched off. Our connection to Kao and Earth is lost. I curse again. I growl fiercely to P'Park and P'Max to stay alert. No more nice Ming, I'm furious!
