Cage in Law [Completed]

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

(Video above for better visual)

"He should be there by now," Simoun looks at his watch. Arms ticking as time passed.

Zhelt went down from the tree branch as Chief asked him to observe the whole forest for possible traps.

"No traps found. She disappeared with no trace."

I let the tree behind me balance my weight as I close my eyes to calm down. We also give time for the injured to aid themself before proceeding to the plan.

Two hours since Mike left. Their actions are getting slower for some reason that popped my patience and shouted at them for that.

"Move your ass out and let's move to find a way to locate where he is! Why are you guys still sitting comfortably after what happened?"

Tsk. My forehead creased just thinking about it.

"Selene," someone called out but I didn't bodge.

Who are you anyway?

"Selene," some bee keeps buzzing my name.

"Aalis na tayo, Selene-" open my eyes and fixed my posture.

"You should have told me that earlier," I told Steven who seemed to be shocked by my actions.

"Let's go. Where to?"

Everyone laughed. Hindi naman maipinta ang mukha ni Steven sa harapan ko. Anong nangyari dito?

"Ang swerte ni Mike,"

"Hulog na hulog na,"

Pagpaparinig pa nila baho nagbagong anyo at nauna ng tumakbo bago ko pa masinghalan.

I rolled my eyes and transformed.

"Tumigil nga kayo,"

I know that they are only keeping me calm but deep inside, I can only think of one thing as I sprint to be in line with Charles and lucas. Mike has gone with no clue.

We failed to do plan A: Carry the stinky flower and follow the target using the necklace. Want to blame myself for also not thinking ahead but doing that will not bring me to Mike. I need to hope...and do the right thing.

I shaked my head, the Deity disappointed face looking at me if she heard that I let his son in danger.

Minus points from mother, huh...I looked at Simoun behind me, in wolf form running into Charles and Lucas in the same direction.

Agad akong umiwas ng tingin nang akmang dadako ang paningin nito sa direksyon ko. Mukhang minus points din sa tatay.

How embarrassed am I. Ang dami kong kagaguhan na ginawa sa harap ng...hays.

"Selene, watch out!" Nagulat ako sa boses ni Zhelt sa isip ko pero huli na ang lahat...nauntog ako sa puno at napabagsak sa sahig.

Napahiga akong patagilid, wide eyes open as I saw their 4 paws in front of me.

Don't make any eye contact, Selene. Shit ang tanga mo!

Sana lamunin na lang ako ng lupa sa kahihiyan.

"Untog yan?" Steven curiously looked at me, still lying on the ground like dead meat.

I saw someone wagging his tail but decided to stop its movement.

"Humimlay na? Pagod na yan?"

Tanginang mga lalaking 'to.

Wala akong nagawa kung hindi ang bumangon mula sa kahihiyan. Isa-isa ko silang tinignan pero hindi pinapatagal para hindi masyadong masakit.
