Chapter 13: The Second Sigma
Pumangalumbaba ako at napahikab. Vampires don't sleep. But why does my eyes feel droopy watching these scums fight to death?
"The cops are on their way. We need to leave," bulong ni Zack sa akin.
Nakabalik na siya matapos i-check ang Police Station ng Quezon. That's where our intel works. And right now, wala siyang ibang bukambibig kundi ang paparating na mga pulis.
"Let them. As if they could catch up to us," I said, yawning. "They need to strike a deal with the devil to seize a monster."
The crowds' screams and uproars suddenly echoed in the darkest parts of the abandoned building. What happened? Bakit naghiyawan sila? All I could sense is blood. Bumuntong hininga ako. Istorbo kasi eh.
Hindi na ulit nagsalita pa si Zack. Ramdam na ramdam kong gusto pa niyang mag-protesta dahil ilang beses bumuka at sara ang bibig niya, pero wala na siyang nagawa. He eventually watched the fight in silence.
"Your soldiers are quite intriguing..." rinig kong bulong ni Zoe— enough for the both of us to hear each other's voice kahit nasa kabilang dako siya ng stage. "...moves are almost similar to them."
Napangisi ako. "What do you expect? I was kidnapped by the likes of you. You really think Hunters won't interfere the underworld of Mortals?", I sighed in disbelief. "Bakayaro, Zoe-chan."
With the intense sensitivity of my ears, I heard her rash movements. She's probably killing me with those fiery glares darting on me.
"Anong sabi mo?! You're of Italian descent and you kept speaking the Japanese language! Sinong bobo sa atin ngayon?!"
"Mendokusai. How troublesome, Zoe-chan. Pinagbabawalan mo ba akong gumamit ng ibang lenggwahe just because I'm Italian? Even the world hates that kind of mindset..." tumayo ako at hinarap siya. Kanina pa pala ito nakatayo at tinatapunan ako ng masamang tingin. Ngumuso ako. "...it's troublesome to explain the ways of the world to the likes of you. Break away from the old age, bakayaro."
Napangisi ako nang marinig ang pagpipigil ng tawa nina Zack at Zeke. Halatang napikon si Zoe nang magsalubong mga kilay niya sa inasta ng mga kapatid.
"Call me stupid one more time and I will snap that small neck of yours." Mariing banta niya.
Kumurap ako. "Small neck? But Havoc said it's sexily slender. He even likes nuzzling his face, burying himself on my neck."
Napaubo ang iba, lalo na si Mark. Havoc remained stoic as he watched the fight. Habang si Cyrus naman ay masama ang titig sa akin. Nginitian ko siya ng pagkatamis-tamis.
"You look grumpy, brother. Should I entertain you myself?"
Kumunot ang noo nito sa pagkalito pero hindi siya nagsalita. Hinarap ko ang underlings nila na kanina pa nakatayo sa likod namin.
"I've once fought Jaycee Andrews just last year," sinulyapan ko ito.
Nakaramdam ako ng tuwa ng mamilog ang mga mata nito. While Cyrus' dark aura ignited, enveloping him with a grim intention, just as his eyes became darker. I acted hurt by touching my left chest.
"Hindi mo na tanda, Jaycee? You've managed to land a hit on me that day. Nagkasugat pa nga ako eh," I quietly manipulated the air within my chest and transfigured it into sharp splinters and bruised myself. I swiftly controlled my healing and slightly lowered my top to show them the, alleged, healed wound of mine, "you successfully scarred me."
