Lords Series #1: Lord's Obsession (UNDER MAJOR REVISION)

CHAPTER 4

Bylur was pacing back and forth, thinking of the possible things that might happen. Valouise saw what happened in that event and Dolion couldn't hypnotize or brainwash her.

“Tangina! Umupo ka nga, Bylur. Nakakahilo ka.” sigaw ni Mithran.

“It's been two hours! She should be awake now!” sagot naman ni Bylur. He looked at Dolion and Dolion raised his eyebrow as a signal of defense.

“What? Wala akong ginawa sa babae mo, huwag mo 'ko tignan ng ganiyan.” biro pa nito at lalong kumonot ang noo ni Bylur.

“What the fuck do you even mean? I just want to ask you if you changed her memory. Nakita n'ya ang mga nangyari.” inis na usal ni Bylur at nagpakawala ni Dolion ng malalim na hininga habang umiiling.

“I did. I tried to change her memories but I think my power didn't actually work. I think we need Riah to handle this. We need to erase her memories if I can't change it.” Dolion answered and sighed deeply as if it's a very tremendous problem for them.

“Erasing my memories? As if I'd let you do that, fucking assholes!” Suddenly, Valouise said with her

“Hey, human! Watch your words.” saway ni Mithran dito. Tinitigan ni Bylur si Valouise ng ilang segundo bago pa ito nagsalita.

“What you saw was—”

“All of you aren't human.” Valouise cut him off and she stood up.

“But whatever you guys are, I have nothing to do with it, so you should leave me alone!” Tumayo si Valouise ngunit nahilo ito at muntik mawalan ng balanse. Agad namang nasalo ni Bylur ito.

“Bitawan mo ’ko!” Valouise pushed him away and grabbed her purse and attempted to go out but Mithran blocked her way.

“Sorry, miss but we have things to settle.” 

“Settle it with yourselves, freaks!” sigaw ni Valouise kay Mithran. Inis na tinignan ito ni Mithran sa mata at sinubukang takutin ito pero tila ba walang takot si Valouise at nilabanan ang titig n'ya.

“Do you think you can scare me with those eyes? Screw you, I'm not afraid of you.” Valouise rumbled as her eyes stuck onto Mithran’s eyes. Ilang segundo pa ay tinulak ni Valouise ito papalayo at agad lumabas ng kwarto.

Mithran looked at Bylur and sighed.

“Do something with your woman, Lord.” Mithran hissed and went off his way. Bylur sighed and followed Valouise.

Bylur silently followed her as she tried to figure out her way out of his house. She's new on Bylur's house, it's impossible for her to find her way out immediately without being lost in the place. Hindi malaki ang bahay ni Bylur. Napakasimple at hindi rin malaki ito pero ang lote n'ya ang malawak. Masyadong malawak para masaulo kaagad.

Nangmakalabas ng bahay si Valouise at napatigil siya sa nakita n’ya at napatingala. Bylur's house is away from people. Before you reach his house, there's still a long way to go. A place full of middlemist red flowers around the area and large almaciga trees. Valouise found it hard for her to find her way out.

After a minute, Valouise walked faster than a while ago. Sigurado si Bylur na naramdaman ni Valouise ang presensya n'ya kaya madali itong naglalakad papalayo. Hindi na nag-abala si Bylur na Bulosan ang kaniyang lakad dahil alam n'yang ilang minuto lang ay susuko na rin ang dalaga at hihingi ng tulong palabas. Sa oras na mangyari ‘yon, doon n'ya kakausapin ito.

Just like what he expected, after a minute, she stopped and faced Bylur. They were meters apart.

“Are you gonna lock me up on this fucking place?” Valouise shouted.

“I am not locking you in, Valouise. Sadyang hindi mo lang alam asan ang gate.” sagot ni Bylur na nagpipigil ng ngiti.

Seeing Valouise's wrinkled eyebrows, scowl face and her adorable small ears that turned red because of anger makes him want to smile. She's adorable. He thought.

Valouise turned away and tried to hide her pout. She was embarrassed. It's true that he is not locking her up, she just doesn't know the way out.

“So… asan nga daan palabas?” halos pabulong nitong tanong. Bylur softly chuckled then smirked. He slowly walked closer to her with that wicked grin on his face.

“Diyan ka lang! Huwag ka l-lapit, I — I'm warning you, Bylur.” Valouise shouted, trying to act tough in front of him.

“Valouise…” Bylur softly whispered her name.

“We mean no harm. We mean to stay hidden and silent. That's why we erase or manipulate people's memories. But…”

Bylur paused and stopped walking in front of Valouise. He sighed as he massaged the back of his neck. He leaned closer to her ear as he whispered, “We can't erase and manipulate your memories. I can't even read your mind. What's with you, woman?”

Bylur puts his arm up to the wall as he leans in, looking straight to Valouise's sapphire eyes.

“W-What a-are you doing?” Valouise stuttered and she stepped backwards, finding out she's trapped and locked. She looked up to face him. Masyado siyang matangkad at hindi nga siya umabot sa balikat nito. She's too short and needed to look up to fight his gaze.

Valouise can't deny it. He is handsome from any angle and their position right now makes her heart beat so fast. Naguguluhan siya kung saan galing ang kaba n'ya, sa takot BA sa nalaman n'ya o dahil sa masyadong malapit ang katawan nila sa isa't isa. He's too perfect to be real. He's too fine to be a human.

“Valouise, maybe…. Maybe you are something special.” Bylur whispers as he intently stares at her with a small grin on his lips. Valouise immediately pushed him away out of fear and anger.

“I refuse to play your game, weirdo. Palabasin mo na ako rito dahil wala akong pakialam kung ano man kayo o anong tinatago n'yo! Gusto ko lang mabuhay ng mapayapa.” mataas na boses na usal ni Valouise. Bylur pointed out the gate that's right in the back of Valouise.

“You can go now. I hope to see you again, woman.” Bylur hissed and Valouise rolled her eyes on him before she hastily went out.

All Valouise remembered was stepping out from the gate of Bylur's house but as soon as she turned her sight, she was already in front of her coffee shop. What happened brought chill and fear to her nerves not knowing what just happened.
