The Killer's New Life

Chapter 18

Anais Point of View

I immediately teleported so I can go back at the party swiftly. Kunot noo kong iginala ang tingin ko dahil dinig at tanaw ko sa malayo ang mga taong nakakagulo sa may venue.

Why they're so noisy?

What's with the sudden commotion?

I can not help but to frown my brows. Dahil sa kuryusidad ay dali-dali akong lumapit at hinawi ang mga taong sagabal sa daanan ko.

"Mom! Damn! Mother? Can you still hear me?!"

I didn't know that my brother's frustrated voice would bring this much effect on me.

My brother's hoarse voice brought so much chills inside me. Hindi ko mapigilang mapalunok sa sarili kong laway. I am not dumb to not notice the tone of his voice.

"Putangina tabi!" Kaagad kong tinulak ang mga chismosang ayaw pa yata akong padaanin.

My irritated face swiftly shifted unto blank one when a fucking scenario just like what I'm thinking have welcomed me.

My brother who's now holding our mother's unconscious body is holding her chest. I immediately ran towards them, tinulak ko ang kapatid ko papalayo.

I gawk at him. "Kuya! You should have put pressure on the wound so it will stop from bleeding! Puta!"

I cannot restrain the masculinity to take over my body. Wala  na akong pakialam, nasa bingit na ng kamatayan ang ina ko. Kung nagiging lalaki na ang ugali ko ngayon, wala akong pakialam.

Who made this? Who on earth has the guts to make us their enemy?! Sinong putangina ang kakalaban sa amin?! Sa akin?!

I immediately used magic to wash my hand.

Wait... magic?!

I immediately casted healing magic to heal my mother. Pero gulat at laglag panga lang akong napatanga ng hindi umepekto 'yon.

Unti-unting sumilay ang kaba sa dibdib ko.

I am not powerful enough?

I am still weak despite having this much power?

I can't heal my mother?

Horror immediately creeped in my face as I cannot heal my mother. Unti-unti kong nararamdaman ang paghina ng pulso niya kaya naman kaagad kong kinuha ang kamay ko sa leeg niya.

Habol hininga kong pinunit ang laylayan ng damit ko't inilagay iyon sa duguang dibdib ng ina ko.

I roamed my eyes around, almost out of my breath when I  look at my brother. "Nasaan si Dad?!" he did not answer me.

"Where the fuck is our father?!" Hindi ko na napigilang magmura.

Mukhang natauhan naman ang aking kapatid dahil sa tindi ng boses ko. "He ran after the culprit."

"Ano ang ginamit? Is it a knife, an arrow? A poison?" he's still spacing out.. unable to answer me... "Ano ang ginamit puta!" I shouted so loud again.

"I-It's a forbidden tool, Anais. A tool that is use to kill a god."

Napasinghap ako sa narinig.

No.

No.

That can't be! Bullshit! My mom isn't even a fucking god?! Sino ang may kagagawan nito?!

Wait.. a forbidden tool?...Only the higher ups can use that. Hindi kaya... so he fucking knew now huh?

Alam kong pulang-pula na ang mga mata ko, nagpipigil umiyak. Not again, please. Not my mother here.

I once tried to heal my mom... again and again. But the result is still the same. She's still unconscious.

I am not in my right mind when I finally let go of my mom. My gaze is now lock on him.

At the man who's just looking at me blankly. I knew they're the one who did this.

Out of impulse, kasabay ng ginawa kong kulog ay ang paglakad ko sa deriksyon ng prinsipe.

"Anais!" Rinig ko ang pagpigil na sigaw sa akin ng kapatid ko.

I didn't mind. I don't mind killing the prince right now.... ito ang gusto nila, my dad wanted me to. Gagawin ko.

Hinablot ko ang kuwelyo ng damit niya. I am looking at him like a mad dog. Nanginginig kong hinigpitan ang pagkakahawak ko sa damit niya.

Sumasakit na ang dibdib ko sa galit. I am not just mad, I loathe him.

"I-I won't forgive you." I almost whispered.

His mouth parted, para bang hindi inaasahan ang mga pinaparatang ko sa kaniya..."Are you sure, Anais? Are you sure that you're doing what's right, right now?"..... how can he sound hurt right now? When in fact, he fucking killed my mother.

"You are about to kill the queen right? Then, I'll remind you Anais, I am the prince. I won't let you ruin me."

Tinitigan ko siya, as he's looking at my soul too. I am too emotional right now, one word and I might expose our plans and organization. "I already ruin you, Azury. I already did. "

Mukha siyang galit, pretending that he doesn't did this. Pathetic.

I took a deep breath, I need to calm down.

I am clenching my fist when I faced everyone who's worried at us. Mukhang nautusan na ng kapatid ko ang mga tao namin na kunin si mom. They must be curing her now.

Ako na lang ang narito kasama ang mga bisita. I look up, still showing them that I am high. "Everyone, leave our manor." mahinang utos iyon pero punong-puno ng awtoridad.

No one has the guts to stay. After I announced it, everyone left immediately. Including the bastard.

"D-Dustine?" I felt someone held my hand, as I look up. I saw Raven.

He was about to hug me but I immediately stepped back. Umiwas kaagad siya ng tingin sa akin. Maybe because of the embarrassment.

"Dustine... I'm just here. Let's go inside now, you should change first. They're trying to....revive Tita."

Para yata akong nabingi sa sinabi niya. I fucking knew, alright. I am goddamn aware earlier. It's just, masakit pa rin mawalan.

"Revive?" I asked.

Raven's eye softened when my voice was almost in a whisper. "Let's go inside, Dustine." Umiling ako sa kaniya.

"Tell me, why they're reviving my mother?" I asked once more.

"T-Tita's life force... is gone. As well as her mana."

Tumango lang ako sa kaniya. Okay, alright. I just confirm it.

"Okay, let's go inside. I should change." His mouth parted, mukhang hindi niya inaasahan ang sinabi ko.

"What now, Raven?" I asked him.

Kaagad niyang itinikom ang bibig niya. "Nothing, let's go. I'll walk you inside." Tumango na lamang ako sa kaniya.

When we entered the living area, my father immediately embrace me with his hug. His eyes were bloodshot, halatang kagagaling lang sa iyak.

"Did you caught the culprit?" I don't know if I sound authoritative but who cares now.

"I did not, I'm sorry for failing." Napatango na lamang ako.

I immediately called Celestina. "Prepare my bath." Utos ko sa kanila.

The two man are confused with my actions. "Daughter? You won't see your mother? And where are you going? Are you okay? You have plans, sweetheart?" my father bomber me with so much question.

Nginisian ko na lamang ang dalawang naghihintay sa sagot ko. "I'm about to kill someone, do not interfere."... i was saying that to my father and now I'm looking at Raven... " you will come with me."
