Series 2: Nobody Can Love the Devil

I jump away from bago ko siya binigyan ng malakas ng suntok sa tagiliran. Tumatalon talon ako sa sanga ng mga puno para maunahan siya sa finish line.

I kick the branch of the tree and break the others para wala siyang tatalunan. I hide in bushes para iwasan ang huling patibong. May mga pinutol na mga puno sa bandang gubat nato kaya kong itutulak ko ito malalaman ko kong nasaan ang patibong.

I push the one log at gumulong ito sa bandang unahan. I push the second one at tumama naman ito sa isang sanga.

"I'm near with you Moonlight! I won't let you win!"

I switched and hide again in the bushes when a shining metal caught my eye.

"Gotcha." I ran fast at tumambling sa ere , hinatak ko ang metal sa lupa at lumabas ang malawak na net. Nailagan ko iyon at gumulong ako sa lupa.

"Moonl-- what the fuck!" I heard Leo shouted. Mabilis akong bumangon at tinignan siya. Para siyang pusit na nahuli ng lambat.

"You brat! I'm going to kill you! This is cheating!"

"For me, there's no cheating if I need to win." I winked at him. "Goodbye Leo!" I said and ran.

"You brat! Comeback here!"

Nang malapit na ako sa finish line at nakangiti akong tumingin sa nasa unahan pero taltlong matutulis na arrows ang bumulusok papunta sa akin. I close my eyes and focus on the wind and arrows coming from me. I jump high and roll over sa unang pana, tumambling ako palikod at umiwas sa pangalawa. Nakatayo lang habang naghihintay ng pangatlo when I open my eyes I fastly caught the last arrow in my hands.

"No wonder she's a Louvielle."

"Louvielle was a strongest clan."

"She will be our savior."

Tumakbo na ako papunta sa finish line at nang maabot ko ito ng walang ngiti sa mukha at tumingin ako kay Xerus. I heard the judges gasp and stood up because of what they saw.

"You are really great, Moonlight."

"You'll be one of the best of the best.

I hold the arrow firmly. I fisted my hands and throw and arrow towards the guy sitting on the corner. The judges and the others who watched the show shouted. The arrow was almost hit Xerus in the face.

"Moonlight!"

"Moonlight, what the fuck!?"

"God, what's happening to her?"

"Kung papanain mo ako sa susunod, sintuhin mo ng mabuti. Top 1 strongest agent tapos hindi ako mapana ng mabuti?" I smirked and turn around.

"Nagagalit ka lang sakin kasi ako ang pinili ng mga heads ng agency na maging Top1. Dala dala mo ang apelyido ng Louvielle pero hindi ka kasing galing nila. Dahil anak ka lang sa laba-"

I almost pull my gun when I heard a 3 gunshots. I turn around and saw Panther at the top of the tree. Xerus whole face turns pale at nanghihinang bumagsak sa lupa.

"I think I'm late." he said at binalik ang baril sa tagiliran nito.

"Mr. Louvielle, you came back. How's the mission?" Phoenix asked him. He just shrugs and whistle. A group of men enter the hall with a big box.

"Is that a present on us?" Lady Meredith ask. He motion to open the box and the whole crowd gasped. Muntik nang masuka si Lady Meredith at iba pang nakakita.

"This was the heads of the people trying to look out and enter the forest. The others was Brantalier men and looking for the girl sniper who killed the almost of the guards." then he looked at me.
