ZENAIA slowly pulled back her arm before effortlessly pushing it forward with a small smile on her face.
Gulat na gulat na pinood ng lahat ang biglang paglaki ng itim na apoy sa kamay nito at ang mabilis na pagbulusok niyon sa mga demonyong papalapit sa kanila. The nearest demons dissipated into thin air in an instant, as soon as they were touched by the black mass, as if they weren't there in the first place.
Agad na lumapit sina Cedric sa likuran ni Zenaia at tumingin sa labas ng bintana. They were all flabbergasted to see a huge swarm of demons gradually closing in on them from all sides. Napayakap sa sarili si Sayla nang maramdaman ang kilabot sa buong katawan. Maging sina Cedric ay bahagyang napaatras sa dami ng mga nakitang demonyong papalapit sa kinaroroonan nila.
"You should not use your ability like that, Zenaia," alangan na paalala ni Mystic kahit hindi rin maalis ang tingin sa mga demonyo sa labas. "Remember that you just got back, and you just got united with your darkness."
Zenaia answered her with a casual shrug before smiling. "What are you worrying about? I am the darkness itself, and those things out there are just a swarm of filthy flies." Pagkasabi niyon ay mabilis na itong nakasampa sa bintana kasunod kaagad si Billius.
"Sandali!" Pigil dito ni Sayla at sumunod sa dalawa. Ngunit hindi pa man ito nakakasampa sa hamba ng bintana ay pinigilan ito kaagad ni Jordan.
"Get back!" Malakas na sigaw ni Cedric nang masulyapan ang namumuong pulang bagay sa likuran ng mga demonyo na siyang mabilis na bumulusok patungo sa kanila.
"Zenaia!" Billius yelled in alarm.
It was too late as a huge deafening explosion errupted, destroying the walls and roof of the house. Everything happened so fast. Even before Zenaia reacted, she felt someone flashed and stood before her and covered her from the flying debrises, the scent of a lycanthrope wafting through her nostrils. Nagbukas siya ng mata at nakita ang malapad na dibdib ni Billius sa harapan habang mahigpit siya nitong yakap at pinoprotektahan mula sa mga lumilipad na debri.
"Are you okay?" he asked as soon as he pulled away and cupped her face, his grey eyes laced with worry, completely unbothered by the destruction around them.
She gaze up at him in surprise. He's treating her as if she's a weakling, knowing that she could destroy everything with just a flick of her fingers.
"Are you hurt?" Patuloy nitong tanong nang hindi siya sumagot kaagad.
She finally snapped out of it and pulled her gaze from his worried grey ones. "I'm fine. I was just surprised. Why did you cover me? Hindi mo naman kailangang gawin 'yon." He doesn't looked harm, but it still upsets her that he would cover her like that.
"Sinisiguro ko lang na hindi ka magagalusan," seryoso nitong sagot.
She felt a fluttering from her stomach which she forces herself to ignore. 'Stupid, human! You need to focus!' she scolded herself.
Nakasimangot na lumayo siya rito at hinawi ang braso nito na nakayakap pa rin sa kaniya. "I can take care of myself, Lycan," she hissed which made him clenched his jaw but continued to follow her with his sharp hawk-like gaze.
Nilingon ni Zenaia ang paligid at ibinalik ang tingin sa pinagmulan. Nakita niya na halos wala nang natira sa bahay ni Veseva. Wasak na wasak na iyon at nakakalat na sa paligid ang bawat nasirang parte ng bahay at mga kagamitan. She then, saw the rest of them being protected by Mystic's giant bubble. Tanging lahat ng nasa loob niyon ang hindi nawasak ng pagsabog.
"That was so close," Jordan muttered under his breath as he held a terrified Sayla from behind him. Cristof, Gavin, and Cedric stood beside them, while Mystic and Luthiel were using their abilities to protect them.
