Shadow Protector

SHE IS busy watching people at the top of a building, with her a binocular. She enjoys watching people from afar, because they don't know that someone is watching them from afar.

Beside her is her weapons, a bow and arrow and her trusty katana. Masyado pang maaga para may gawin siya kailangan pa niya maghintay para lang gawin niya ang lagi niyang ginagawa.

She hate waiting for time to go by, gusto niya gawin agad ang trabaho. Her job is easy, she just need to kill people then after that meron na siyang sahod. She hated the job at first, pero ngayon okay na sa kanya para rin naman sa tao ito eh.

"Aren't you tired of watching people?" Tanong ng isang lalaki na kakarating lang, "it's our job to watch people."

She heard the guy snickered, ibinaba niya ang binocular na hawak niya at nilingon ang lalaki. "Bakit ka nandito, tapos ka na ba sa trabaho mo?" Tanong niya sa lalaki na nasa harap niya

Pinakita ng lalaki ang matilos na bahagi ng katana, she saw blood on his katana. Alam niyang nakangisi ang lalaki sa likod ng mask niya, "umalis ka na kung natapos mo na ang trabaho mo"

Pagkasabi niya nun, binalik niya ang atensyon sa mga tao na nasa baba nila. Naramdaman niyang umupo ang lalaki sa tabi niya at kinuha ang katulad ng binocular niya.

"Don't you have a personal life?" Tanong nito sa lalaki, kahit magka trabaho sila they don't know each other. Sa pinagtatrabahuhan niya personal life is an important thing.

Hindi sila pwedeng magpakilala sa isa't isa, they don't know each other names. May mga alias lang sila, she was known as shadow.

"I do, pero boring ang personal life ko." He just simply said, she saw her prey. She just needs to pass time then simply kill him. "You saw him, didn't you?" He was asking too many questions that's making her annoyed

Tumayo siya at binaba ang binocular na hawak niya sabay kinuha ang katana niya at itinutok ito sa leeg ng lalaki, "I'm getting annoyed by your questions, leave me." May diin ang pagkakasabi niya

His finger touch the sharp part of the katana at pinalayo ito sa may leeg niya, "kalma, aalis na ako." He let out a little nervous laugh. Tumayo na rin siya at umalis, he was fast. Just a blink and then he is gone.

IT WAS getting dark, she was going places para lang hindi mawala ang atensyon sa lalaki. She is sitting on the edge of the building watching him and then writing something on a piece of paper.

Kinuha niya ang pana na nasa may tabi niya at nilagay sa gitna ang palaso na may naka attach na papel, she let go of the arrow and the arrow went flying to his target.

Binaba niya ang pana at tumingin sa binocular kung tumama ba talaga palaso sa puso ng lalaki, she smiled when she saw the arrow that was piercing through his heart.

Tumayo na ito at inilagay ang pana sa likod niya katabi ng lalagyan ng mga palaso niya, just another day on her job. She heard a loud shriek sa may malapit sa katawan ng lalaki, malakas ang pandinig niya kaya rinig na rinig niya ito.

Hindi ito kaagad umuwi sa bahay niya, she went straight to where she got her job from. "Good job, shadow." Her boss said she just lazily nodded and went to her office.

Inilagay niya lahat ng dala niya sa office niya, ang office niya ay lagayan lang talaga ng mga weapons niya. Ganun din sa iba, they are just a big room with your weapons and needs for a mission.

She bid goodbye to her boss, she is now wearing a gray sweatpants and a large tee. Nakasuot pa rin siya ng mask, your identity is also important to her job. Buhok at mata lang ang ipinapakita nila.

Dumiretso siya sa isang convenience store bago umuwi, it's her routine. She will drop off her weapons and stuff at her office then go to a convenience store.

She remove the mask she was wearing at pumasok sa convenience store, "hello, welcome to the store." Bati ng nagtatrabaho dun, tumango nalang siya at kumuha ng beer at ng lollipop.

Ibinigay niya ito sa cashier at tinuro ang isang kaha ng sigarilyo, "Another one has been killed by the so-called Shadow Protector, may papel na nakadikit sa palaso na pumatay sa lalaki. Nakalagay sa papel ay 'A rapist and drug addict.'" She looked up at the TV and saw the guy she killed earlier

She gave the cashier the money at binuksan ang lollipop, she put it inside her mouth and look at the cashier. Mukhang takot siya sa narinig, "don't worry for your life, mukhang di ka naman katulad nung mga pinatay nila. " ani nito at kinuha ang beer at isang kaha ng sigarilyo

The people called them a shadow protector, because they are in the shadow protecting people from criminals.
