Vixen 3: The Abused

Chapter 34

(Third Person's POV)

HALOS lumuhod si Nero sa pagkaka-atras matapos matamaan sa sikmura, hawak-hawak nya iyon habang nangingiwi. Hindi naman tuluyang nag-landing ang tuhod ni Gianna sa sikmura nya pero dumaplis pa rin ito doon. Nakakahiya man aminin pero alam nya sa sarili nyang masakit yon kung sakaling na-tuhuran talaga sya ng dalaga sa sikmura.

Kaya naman matalim ang tingin na nilingon nya ito pero nagulat sya nang sumalubong ang dalawang patalim na hawak nito sa kanya na kung hindi nya naiwasan ay malamang ikinabulag nya. Dali-dali syang muling umatras habang hindi inaalis ang paningin kay Gianna na kalmadong tumuwid ng tayo habang ipinapaikot-ikot ang dalawang patalim sa magkabilang kamay.

Itinago ni Nero ang kirot na nararamdaman sa pamamagitan ng pagngisi. He let his guard down for a second and now this girl already thinks she can take him down? Aba't sine-swerte naman yata ito.

Tumuwid rin sya ng tayo habang pasimpleng nagtungo ang kamay sa likuran kung nasaan ang nakasabit na baril. Nakatitig sa kanya ang dalaga pero parang hindi alintana nito ang katotohanan na may baril sya.

"You're too young for this, kid." Ani ni Nero tsaka itinutok ang baril kay Gianna.

"I'm no super human but it's a fact that I can dodge that." Gianna said before letting out a proud smirk. "Why, can't keep up on my pace? Don't you think you're a little bit old for this?"

"I know." Kinasa nya ang baril at iilipat ng direksyon ang pagkakatutok na ikinatigil ni Gianna. "That's why I'm not aiming at you." Sabay kalabit sa gatilyo.

"Mavy!" Sigaw ni Gianna.

As Nero pulled the trigger, Mavy quickly moved to the side due to panic. Himala sigurong matatawag pero ni daplis ay hindi sya tinamaan, siguro ay dahil sa mabilis nyang pagkilos dala ng pagpapanic.

"Ay gago!" Singhal nya habang nakahawak sa dibdib at nagtago sa likod ni Gianna. "Why the fuck me? I told you I'm not the brawn type, I'm the freaking brain in our family!"

'She insisting that she's just the brain and not the brawn but she easily dodged that as if she's so used on this type of situation?' Ani ni Nero sa isip nya bago nagtagis ang mga ngipin. 'She's obviously lying.'

"Miss Mavy, I think you need to go." Payo ni Gianna na ikinatango ng kausap.

"Is it okay if I leave you here?"

"Yes." Determinadong sagot nito habang hindi inaalis ang paningin kay Nero. "Leave him to me. I have an unfinish business with him."

"Okay, pabor sa'kin yon."

Hindi naunawaan ni Nero ang huling sinabi ni Mavy pero nainis pa rin sya. Ano't pinauubaya sya nito sa isang dalagang mukhang kakaranas pa lang ng unang dalaw ng buwan? Masyado yata syang minamaliit nito.

"Is this your way of insulting me, you psychiatric bitch?" Hinawi nya ang sariling buhok bago inumpisahang tupiin ang mahabang manggas ng polong suot. "Or you're just making an excuse to escape before I could kill you after I finish this girl?"

"Escape? Stupid." Hindi makapaniwalang natawa si Mavy tsaka umiling-iling. "I didn't even tried to get out of here even though I can. What makes you think that I'm making an excuse by leaving?"

Ngumiwi si Nero. "Don't be ridiculous. You're just afraid to die in my hands that's why you're leaving this job to a kid."

"Stop being fucking clingy and never look away from her." Sumenyas-senyas sya bago tumalikod. "This kid is the real deal. You mess with her older brother, now she'll fuck you up real good."

"You're kidding me, right?"

Ngumiwi si Mavy. "Nah. Try to finish her first before she could finish you."
