My Amnesiac Assassin

Chapter 15: Cannot Be Reached

ARTEMIS LARCENA

Nang magising ako ay ramdam ko agad ang matinding pananakit ng katawan ko. Compared to the pain I felt in the past whenever I activate my lust, the pain I'm feeling this time is definitely the worst.

"That asshole!" I scream, frustrated as I recall how I lost to that Grim Reaper. Losing is one of the things I hated the most. Isa 'yon sa dahilan kung bakit umalis ako sa Clandestine. Because I don't want them to find out how I'm getting weaker. I still don't know the cause pero ako pa lang ang nakakaranas ng ganito.

"Bakit my loves!?" a frantic Axl greeted me as the door slammed open. I automatically frowned. He's still here?

"Who told you that you can barge into my room without my permission?"

"Eh, sumigaw ka kasi kaya akala ko kung napa'no ka na."

I sighed. I stood up from my bed, not minding the aches and pains that my body is feeling.

"Walang masakit sa'yo?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Axl habang nakasunod sa'kin.

"Wala."

When I arrived at the living room, I found out that Shiriyo was already there. Prente lang siyang nakaupo sa sofa habang nanonood ng cartoons.

Is this guy really that Grim Reaper? They have a lot of similarities when it comes to their build and voice. But this guy is like a robot—he has no emotions; the complete opposite of that pervert.

"What?" he asked nang makita niya 'kong nakatingin sa kanya.

"Nothing," I replied as I sit down on the couch.

"My loves, anong nangyari sa'yo kahapon? Bigla ka na lang nangangagat," Axl complained while holding the side of his neck that has a bandage on. Nasa-kabilang dulo siya ng sofa nakaupo—malayo kay Shiriyo.

"Did I do that?" I ask. Wala pa siyang sugat kahapon.

"Nakalimutan mo na agad? Pagkatapos kong ibigay sa'yo ang first-time ko, kakalimutan mo na agad ang ginawa mo?" aniya na may kasama pang pagyakap sa sarili.

Sinamaan ko naman siya ng tingin. This is why I hate talking to this guy. Napatingin ako kay Shiriyo nang maramdaman kong may nakatitig sa'kin. Why is he glaring at me?

"Umayos ka ng sagot mo, I'm not in a good mood," I warned Axl, not minding Shiriyo's piercing gaze. Agad namang nawala ang ngiti ni Axl.

"Why did you activate it?" tanong niya na ngayon ay may seryosong ekspresyon. This rarely happens and when it does, he gets scary—is what the people from the Clandestine Organization say.

Sumulyap muna ako kay Shiriyo na hanggang ngayon ay nakatitig pa rin sa'kin. His thick eyebrows remained contracted.

"I was backed against the wall so I had no choice but to use it . . . Let's talk about this later," I said, glancing at Shiriyo. Naintindihan naman agad ni Axl ang ibig kong sabihin. Shiriyo is still an outsider after all.

"Nasaan pala si Addie?" pag-iiba ko ng usapan.

"Kahapon pa siya wala dito. Pero tumawag siya kagabi sa'yo, sabi niya hindi din daw siya uuwi ngayon. Mukhang kasama niya pa rin ata ang boyfriend niya."

"What are you talking about? Walang boyfriend si Addie. She's too young to have a boyfriend. 16 pa lang siya."

"Oh, kaya pala," he mumbled pero narinig ko pa rin 'yon.

"Anong kaya pala?"

"Wala. Ha-haha" he awkwardly laughed while having a foolish expression on his face. Napakunot-noo naman ako sa reaksyon niyang 'yon.
