Shadow Protector

SHE WOKE up just to do her job, but this time she will not be at the top of the building. She was going to follow her prey, it's not hard to kill someone, she knows that. Pero hindi pa niya nagagawang sundan ang kriminal.

Yung nangyari kagabi it's just a mistake, well it's not a mistake. Kailangan niyang patayin yung nakakakita sa katana niya, they are sinned. Kailangan nila pagbayarin lahat ng mga ginawa nila sa mundong ito.

She was busy following him, bakit kaya halos lalaki ang kriminal? She was asking that to herself. She is wearing a baggy robe type dress, underneath it was her katana.

She was wearing a mask of course, she want to suck a lollipop right now para naman di siya mabored. Yung ang ginagawa niya eh tuwing matagal siya naghihintay or naninigarilyo.

Binigyan lang niya ng distansya yung pag sunod niya sa lalaki, she already feel like sleeping. Gusto niya na umuwi para kumain, pumasok sa isang alley yung sinusundan niya. It's her chance, binilisan niya ang pag sunod dito.

But to her surprise she almost got whacked by her head, buti nalang at mabilis ang senses niya. "Di mo sana ginawa yun." She said annoyedly and glared at the guy

The man looked shocked nung naka ilag siya, sinuntok niya yung lalaki pero naka ilag ito. She saw a little knife on the man's hand, she laughed at his weapon, "ang pangit naman niyan."

"Huwag kang lalapit" the man said at tinutok ang maliit na kutsilyo sa kanya, she grabbed her katana. "Oh, sorry. It's unfair huh?" Sarkastiko nitong sabi

Tinutok niya ang matulis na bahagi ng katana niya, sinagi ng lalaki yung katana niya at tatakbo na sana paalis pero nahawakan agad niya yung lalaki sa likod ng damit nito.

She threw him back at his position, "you can't escape me, before you escape. You will die" maangas na sinabi nito

In a blink of an eye, she slashed his two arms off and his chest. She grab her notepad and wrote something then dinikit niya ito sa noo ng lalaki. Binalik niya sa scabbard niya yung katana niya, lumabas siya sa may end ng alley.

Akala niya makakalabas siya ng maayos, pero a police stopped her. She remembered the cop na nasa TV nung naglilinis siya, "what do you want?" She asked boredly at the police

"A guy was just murdered at the end of the alley and you are coincidentally close at the scene of the crime. " she sighed, buti nalang di napunta sa damit niya yung dugo ng lalaki.

"Dahil lang tumatambay ako dito ako na agad ang suspect? What kind of police are you?" Inis na tanong nito, "stay silent and come with me."

The man said and grabbed her elbow, sinipa nito ang gilid ng tuhod ng police na humawak sa kanya. "Hindi mo hahawakan ang babae ng walang permiso." She hissed at him

"Stop being stubborn, lady." Nawawala na ang pasensya nito, "tumambay lang ako dito, bakit ako pa ang naging suspect. It's unfair isn't it?" Nawawala na rin ang pasensya ko

"Stop bothering the lady, mukhang di siya ang gumawa nito. Tingnan mo naman yung suot niya at paano niya mapapatay yun?" A fellow police said to the guy who just touched him

Sinampal niya yung humawak sa kanya, "that's for touching me without my permission and suspecting me without evidence." She heard the other police snickered.

Lumabas na siya ng tuluyan, she sighed in relief. Almost got caught, she is lucky na hindi talaga tumalsik ang dugo ng lalaki sa kanya. Kundi she will be going inside a dirty jail, bumalik siya sa workplace niya.

IT'S JUST her routine that after killing someone, babalik siya sa work place niya para ilagay ang mga gamit niya at para makarinig ng compliment na magaling siya.

"I just saw that, muntikan ka na." The annoying guy said, sumasakit yung tainga niya kapag naririnig ang boses nitong lalaki. "Alam ko, wag mo na sabihin. I was physically there, you fucking idiot." Sumabog ang natitira niyang pasensya

He chuckled at her reaction and leave her alone, she rolled her eyes at nilinisan muna yung katana bago ilagay sa office niya. She also changed her outfit to a crochet crop top and high waisted jeans. May pupuntahan pa siya eh.

She left the place and remove her mask, nagsindi rin siya ng sigarilyo. She was walking while smoking para pumunta sa destination niya. Nung malapit na maubos yung sigarilyo she throws it to the ground at tinapakan yun.

She looked at her watch, mukhang malalate siya sa pupuntahan niya. Ready na siya sa sermon ng kaibigan niya dahil late siya. Nag commute na siya para madali ang pagpunta niya dun

SHE entered the house of a friend, nakaramdam siya ng tao sa likod niya. Iniligan niya ito at baka batukan siya, "don't ever think about it."

Natawa ang kaibigan niya, "tangina, lakas mo makaganyan. Late ka naman" then her friend tackled her down, sinipa niya yung kaibigan niya which made her friend fly.

"Mas malakas pa rin ako sayo" mayabang na sabi nito at tumayo, she looked at her friend nakahawak ito sa tiyan niya. "Sakin ka natuto mag self defense eh."

Tinuro niya sa kaibigan niya kung paano mag self defense at baka may mangyaring hindi maganda sa kanya at least she knows how to defend herself.

"Bakit mo ko tinawagan para pumunta dito? I'm working kasi eh." They sat down on the sofa, nag dekwatro yung kaibigan niya at may binigay sa kanya.

"I won't do your dirty works." She faked her smile sa kaibigan at ibinalik ang binigay sa kanya, "it's not some dirty work."

She sighed, "Nicole, alam ko yung mga galawan mo. If you can't do your dirty job, ako yung pinapagawa mo." Reklamo nito sa kaibigan niya

"I already left the world where I do the dirty job"

Nicole's face turned serious, "bitch, what do you mean you left. You are still doing a dirty job. Don't you think killing people isn't dirty?" Sarkastikong tanong nito sa kaibigan niya

She scoffed and grabbed the file, Nicole's face changed again into a happy one. Binuksan niya ito, the file was the policeman who accused her of being the suspect nung pinatay niya.

"What am I going to do with him?" Tanong nito, she smiled. "Let him fall in love with you. Then dump him"

She looked at her with a blank face, "what are we, teenagers?" Tanong niya sa kaibigan niya. "He dumped me,okay?" Reklamo nito

She just shrugged it off and sighed, I guess she wants revenge. She again sighed and looked at her friend. "Umalis ka na, I smell cigarettes on you." Pagpapaalis nito

"Give me food, bitch. Gutom na ako." She demanded, umalis si Nicole at pumasok sa kusina.

It's going to be a pain in the ass para sa pinapagawa ni Nicole, what if mahuli siya? At malaman ng lalaki yung job niya and then she is doomed. She just sighed again and again, dapat di nalang niya ito tinanggap.
