ZOROTU 33:
The unclear Past

3rd Person's POV

Halos panawan ng ulirat ang mga kasama ni Minerva na siyang pinanonood siya.

"Oh shit." nangangatal ang kamay na tinaas ni Crimson ang hawak niyang Pick Axe at sinundan si Minerva. Mukhang balak nitong tapyasin ang ahas. Nang makitang pumasok na rin si Crimson ay nagsi-sunuran ang iba pa.

Minerva regained her composure after being stunned at the snake that is watching her intently with its pitch black eyes. The snake is long, at least 9 meters long, dangling on the vines sticking in the gate. The snake's skin is a wonderful color of black and grayish that shimmers under the moonlight.

Napahinga ng maluwag si Minerva. Instead she fascinately went to the snake and pat it's head like an obedient docile pet rather than a dangerous beast.

Napatanga ang kakapasok niya lang na mga kasama. "A-anong ginagawa mo?" di makapaniwalang tanong ni Flaire. Nanlalaki ang mata niya habang nakakapit sa nakatatanda niyang kapatid na natulos din sa kanyang kinatatayuan.

"That's dangerous! Halika nga!" Halos tarantang sigaw ni Crimson at pilit hinila si Minerva palayo sa ahas na inosente lang na nanonood sa kanila. Komportable at nalulugod pang dinadama ng ahas ang paghimas sa ulo nito. Mukha pang tuwang tuwa ang ahas at hindi nabahala man lang sa mga panauhin.

"Calm down, they can sense fear." She warned them. Mahinahon lamang na umiling ang babae at kinalas ang pagkakahawak ni Crimson sa kanyang balikat at bewang. Minerva is starting to think that the man is being comfortable and touchy now.

"Don't worry. Look, it's docile. I bet this black mamba has been a pet and it's poison is already extracted. No need to fear at all, right cutie?"

Minerva said that with a dainty smile. The girl is adorably gazing at the snake. Strucking everyone that witnessed the scene.

Agad kumalat sa paligid ang kasama nila sa kaalamang hindi naman mangangagat ang ahas. Pero para makasiguro ay lumayo sila. Naiwan si Crimson.

The guy dejectedly whispered. "I'd love to see you smile like that. But among all pets, why does it have to be a dangerous snake? Come on, let's go."

Agad sinipat ng babae ang lalaki. "Shut up. He's not dangerous! This baby is a cutey!" She justified. Kung hahayaan pa siyang patunayan ang sinabi ay ilalaban niya talaga sa korte ang pagiging cute kuno ng ahas. How weird and twisted is that? Only Minerva Deianira Menthol can pet a snake. Or maybe, also someone similar to her?

"Cut it out. Let's check the house." Fire ordered. He volunteered to walk first and he knocked on the door. Thrice.

Sa likod niya ay parehong nakatutok ang baril nina Czarina at Rizk sa mismong likod lang ni Fire. Sa magkabilang gilid ng dalawa ay hawak ni Diesel ang Samurai niya saka si Aeon na may kaparehong uri. Magkasama naman sa likod si Ava at Flaire. Mas focus si Ava sa Medic Bag niya habang nilalaro lang ni Flaire ang baseball bat. Si Vince? Nasa gilid ni Fire. Just in case may sumulpot sa gilid.

Naghintay kami. At naghintay. Ng naghintay.

"Matagal pa ba yan? Kumatok kaya kayo ulit." utos ni Aeon kahit pa mas matatanda sila.

Ava nodded in agreement. "Try again. Kung walang tao ay wawasakin natin ang pinto nila. Kanina pa ako ginagawang midnight snack ng mga lamok."

Hearing these, her friends chuckled at her lament. Fire held the doors knob and he tried to turn it.

Simangot ang salubong ni Vince sa lalaki. "Let me guess, its locked?" It's not hard to put two and two together to understand what's happening. Ava scoffed and said, "Then let's wreck havoc. Hulk boom and bam style."
