The Lost Reaper

Chapter Fourteen

"Lock her," utos ni Kenjie kay Freya.

"Get on your feet, bitch!" sigaw ni Freya.

Sumunod ako sa gusto nila at tumayo na. Freya push me forward using her gun on my back. I took a quick glimpse at Kenjie. He's cold as ice. He's staring me like he doesn't know me. Parang piniga yung puso ko sa paraan niyang tumingin.

"Anong gagawin niyo sa kanya?" I asked, referring to Lucca.

"What do you think?" ngisi niya.

"Ite-treat namin siya sa maligayang bubuyog," sarkastikong dugtong ni Freya. "Do you care that much?"

Nag-aalala kong tiningnan si Lucca na nanginginig sa takot. He's like asking for help. I diverted my eyes to Kenjie who raise a brow.

"You care for him?" nakangisi niyang tanong sa akin.

"Why do you care?" I scoffed. "It's not like I should tell you who I care or who I don't. Reaper mo ako, but you don't own me."

"How dare you, bitch!" sigaw ni Freya at sinabunutan ako.

Kenjie clenched his teeth, not liking what I just said. He glared at me as if he's gonna devour me.

"Lock her up!"

Tinulak ako ni Freya para magsimula nang maglakad. I can no longer look back. Ramdam ko ang ilong baril sa aking ulo. Isang maling kilos ay malalagot ako.

Freya locked me on a place like dungeon. Nadadaanan namin ang ibang pawn na litong-lito. Why would a Bishop's pawn aim a gun at a Bishop's reaper? It doesn't make sense.

Naguguluhan man ay hindi na nila naisipang magtanong. She pushed inside the cell and locked it. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin na siyang ikinangisi niya.

"Mukhang hindi mo na makikita si Kenjie," tawa niya.

Hindi ako sumagot, sa halip ay humakbang ako papalapit sa kanya at hinawakan yung selda.

"Alam kong mayroong namamagitan sa inyong dalawa," she said with clenched teeth. "You think I wouldn't know? Mabuti nalang at ako lang yung nakakapansin. If it was someone else, paniguradong isusumbong kayo sa hari."

I smirked.

"Bakit hindi mo isumbong?" panghamon ko. "I know you hate me that much kaya bakit ayaw mong magsumbong for you to completely get rid of me?"

"Hindi ako ganung tao. It would be too childish. If I want to get rid of you, I want to do it myself. Telling your relationship to the King would be too easy and a coward of me."

"Really?" nang-aasar kong tanong. "Yan ba talaga yung rason mo o may mas malaki pa?"

"Huh?"

"You like Kenjie," I smiled teasingly. "Ayaw mong magsumbong kasi ayaw mong makitang parusahan si Kenjie. The man you liked for a long time. Wait. Like lang ba?"

"Bitch!" naiinis niyang sigaw sa akin.

"Oops. Did I hit the spot?"

Itinutok niya sa akin yung dala niyang baril at idinikit sa aking noo. I didn't show any fear, instead, I teased her even more.

"Shut up!" she shouted but I refused to listen.

"Masakit ba? Masakit bang hindi magustuhan pabalik?" I chuckled. "You hate me because he likes me, don't you? Kaya ayaw na ayaw mo sa akin kasi ako gusto niya."
