Bella Hawksley POV.
"Ohh... It's already happening Bella." I can tell that she's teasing me. "I told you once that girl came back, our little Darkie would spill her identity immediately." dagdag pa nito kaya lumingon ako sa kaniya at kasalukuyan itong naka ngisi sakin.
"Shut it Jeneah." seryoso kong sabi pero tumawa lang siya.
"You know that she's alive?" napalingon naman kami kay Duchess Naomie. Bakas sa boses niya ang hindi makapaniwalang pangyayari at sama ng loob.
"You never ask." agad naman siyang lumapit sakin at hinila ang kwelyo ng damit ko.
"I thought you were different!" sigaw nito sakin kaya napaiwas ako ng tingin sakaniya.
"Walang magandang mapapala sainyo si Dark. She's way more happy with us. She's safe with us and she wanted to be with us." ramdam ko namang lumuwag ang pag kakahawak niya sa kwelyo ng damit ko kaya lumayo ako sakaniya. "If you only listen to her. This will never happened. Kung nakinig lang sana kayo sakaniya hindi na tayo aabot sa ganitong pandemya. But as always of course. Ma paparide kayo kaya hindi niyo siya pinakinggan." dagdag ko pa.
"Masyado lang naging magulo sa sinasakupan namin. Lalo na nung biglaang mag bago ang ugali ni Astrid." singit ni Duchess Sarah kaya nag tataka akong napatingin sa ka niya.
"So you do believe that she went crazy huh?" I ask.
"No. It's not like that."
"Oh? So what is it then?"
"Belle enough." Pigil sakin ni Flor at tumingin sa mga HR. "Like what Dark said, we are going to talk about this tomorrow. So for now let's all rest and be ready." Unang umalis si Mayumi na sinundan nila Flor at ng iba. Naiwan naman kami dito nila Rina at Keith kasama ang mga HR.
"Ate Bella we should leave na." Rina said so I looked at her and nod. We were about to leave when Duchess Naomie spoke again.
"Astrid... was she happy when she's with you?" I stop for a moment and all the memories flashback at once.
"Don't worry, we will help you." That day... she was bleeding to death. As we saw her in the alley. I was with Mayumi, Fhrancille and Erastus, when we saw Astrid.
"I-i w-wa-nt to li-live." she mumbled as tears starting to flow from her eyes.

"Can you move your hands? Do you feel great? Do you want to eat? What's your name?"
"Come on now, Rina. Isa isang tanong lang. Huwag mong biglain yung taong kagigising lang."
"But, Ate Cheska! She still won't talk to us! Ilang araw na ang nakakalipas oh."
3 weeks... it took that long before she spoke to us.
"My name is Astrid Samanya Collins, one of the Highest Rankers. Duchess of the Region 3." It was a shock to all of us aside from those who belonged to their so called cooperation. The Rest-C where Floriann, Bellazein and Nhiel belong.
"When Rhea joined your Realm. Was she satisfied?" dagdag na tanong ni Duchess Naomie.
"A-astrid!? You're alive? You're alive! Oh my god!" The day Rhea was varnished from their Empire and live with us she once reunited with Astrid who was living as Darkie the newest member of our Realm.
"Don't just stand there say something!" sigaw ni Naomie.
"Contended. They smile, they laugh, they live just the way they wanted." mahina naman akong natawa at hinarap si Naomie. "But everytime... everytime a news from you people reach them, they always show this cold and emotionless look. You." dinuro ko si Samantha at napailing. "Not just you but all of you! You were the reason why they've changed! Especially you who done nothing but to watched them suffer. And now you're asking why I haven't say a word about them to you?"
"Pamilya ko sila, Bella!" sigaw ni Naomie kaya umiling ako at mahinang natawa.
"They were never part of your so called family in the first place! Astrid was unique and honest. While Rhea was persistent and different to every single one of you. Naiiba sila sainyo! None of you knew their pain-"
"That's not true." putol sakin ni Veronica. Mag sasalita pa sana ako pero naunahan ako ng isa sa mga Maria.
"Enough. I'm tired of listening to all your whines and complain. Pwede bang mag pahinga nalang tayo at ipag pabukas na to?" si Maria Patricia.
"We are now facing a new enemy. We should put aside this conflicts and unite as one." si Maria Theresa.
"Agree. This is all a nonsense fight because of the past-"
"Pero, Alexia.."
"No more buts, Kyle. Past is past." Tumingin yung Alexia kay Skia at mahinang tumawa. "Tapos na diba? Nangyari na. Ano pa ba ang dahilan bakit pa natin to pinag tatalunan?" I remember Skia said that to Ashanti. That's the very specific word she said when Ashanti was driven by her anger.
"Oiii Zandara! You're still here pa pala. I've been looking for you goddammit." si Lorrienne na kakapasok lang dito sa silid na kinaroroonan namin.
"Ang ganda kasi ng drama." Duchess Zandara said before leaving the room with Lorrienne.
"Bahala kayo jan. Basta ako mag papahinga na." si Alexia at nauang lumabas. Sinundan naman siya ng tatlong Maria. Pansin ko naman tinignan ako nung Maria Ilycia saglit at tuluyang umalis ng silid.
"Let's go Ate Bella?" si Keith. Tumingin naman ako sa kaniya at tumango.
"Tomorrow... after the meeting, apologize to the both of them." giit ko bago lumapit sa pinto. "And after that let's see what's gonna happen next." dagdag ko pa bago tuluyang umalis.
I'm so irritated. This is irritating. Their presence and everything.
"If I died earlier than the day she pushed me. Will things go smooth and happy?" Darkie...
"I wish I stayed and never leave this place. In that way maybe none of this will be happening." Rhea...
You two... why would you blamed yourself for something you never did. Wala kayong kasalanan. How many times should I say that to the both of you.
"It's my fault I deserve this."
"I should be the one who had die not Astrid."
Darkie Rhea... it's not your fault.
"Kompleto na tayo." agad na sabi ni Floriann pero umiling si Mayumi.
"Wala si Dark at Rhea. We can't start planning something without them." pigil ni Mayumi.
"We can just tell them tomorrow after the meeting. For now look at this." Floriann said and nod to Keisha who is busy tapping her tablet. A hologram came out in the middle where all of us are circled and a video is playing in it. It was a cctv record of this Head Quarter. Bigla namang nag zoom in ang video sa isang tao na nasa madilim na parte ng alley. Maya maya ay may inabot ito sa dulo at doon ay may nakita akong kamay. Wtf is this.
"As you can see this man is wearing a military suit. He's not part of the Z-Slayer organization that Queen Floriann and Head Empress Skia made. I also look for his profile and such and this is what I found." paliwanag ni Keisha kaya tumingin ako sa hologram at doon ay may lumabas na parang resume ng lalakeng nasa cctv kanina.
He is Louie Catigbi Mejares a criminal. How did he become a soldier? More importantly who was the person in the shadow.
"Seems like there's a mouse who is wondering in this place." Carly said and laugh.
Whoever that man is, we need to find him.
