Chap.35 Arrows

◎Philippines POV ◎

I sat on my chair and put on my headphones. I then started fixing the string holding up my necklace. It was old I decided to change it with something probably stronger.

Earlier, I noticed the string was about to break. So for safekeeping, I'm changing it including Martial's.

Since she finally retrieved it, I wanted to keep it secure. Especially kuya. He literally put tiny tracking chips in it.

I sigh and continued fixing the object.

◎Martial's POV◎

I peeked at my sister as she fixed the necklaces string or replace them to be exact. Then I left. I went to my bed and decided that I should sleep. Because my sister was busy, I was bored and then as I saw my bed I became lazy.

But suddenly, an  arrow caught my eye as it hit the wall. I moved quick and grabbed my gun under my bed and looked out the window.

By then all I saw was a silhouette running away quick. But still I fired my gun at its direction. I looked back at the arrow stuck on my wall. I went near it and pulled it out. There was also a piece of paper attached to it.

I opened it and read the content.

______________________________________

Good day Ms. Martial,

         We would like to ask if you'd be interested in an alliance. It's clear that you want revenge. And revenge you shall receive. We are aware that you do not fully trust us after our last encounter, but we would be grateful if you joined us.

______________________________________

I have once again received one of these. How pleasing. How would they even know I want revenge though?

Also have they been stalking me or what?

"Ugh!" I groaned in frustration. Then...  Ding! A notification.

I checked my phone and saw a message. "Wow. I wonder who could it be." I mumbled in all sarcasm.

I checked the name/number, "Its them. Hooray!" Once again, sarcasm.

I ignored the message and proceeded to worry about the wall. I looked at the arrow that somehow I was still holding. "This could've killed me. Well at least its better than a brick."

Kinda cool using an arrow though. Just a bit lethal. But it's pretty good.

For the past few months the sender had been keeping on sending me messages and invitations to join their group. Obviously, I had very little intention to do so.

I may have held a grudge and still desire revenge but I plan not to do so and just let karma do its job.

I put the arrow down the desk. Then, another arrow was shot just beside me only inches away from piercing my skin.

"I have had it. I'm going to kill the messenger slash a assassin. This is annoying. I'm using a shotgun. But Phia's gonna hear it. But she has her earphones on. I no longer care. I. Want. Violence." I ranted and argued with myself in a calm voice.

I ran outside and loaded the gun. "SHOW YOURSELF YOU PRICK!" I yelled like a crazy woman.

At the corner of my eye, I saw my brother. Confused and concerned seeing me looking like a crazy person. "Hoy, Baliw! Kumalma ka nga. Para kang gago. Buti nalang walang nakakita." He scolded me and and I lowered my gun slowly. But who cares I aimed and fired the gun through the forest for a couple of times.

[T: Hey, Crazy! Calm down. You look like an idiot. Good thing no one saw.]

"Okay, nope. You're no longer using this." He said taking the gun away. "Gago. You could've killed a child. What were doing anyway?"

Oh... I could've killed a child or children. I forgot they like to roam around the forest.

"Intruder." I answered. "Oh." "It went there. Shot an arrow on my precious wall and ran like a coward." I spoke.

"Who wouldn't be a coward with you? I see why men don't come running to ya they come running away from ya." He laughed and mocked me. Annoying. But soon he stoped and inhaled a breath, "Anyways, I'll see what I can do. Be responsible okay? People might loose trust on ya, remember that." He warned me and left off to find the prick.

"Ugh. I wanna shoot something so badly. Oh wait he has my gun. Puta." I groaned.

Dissatisfied and disappointed I went back inside my. Took out the arrow and read the note. Still begging but this time it included the messenger to be spared.

How long are they gonna keep on terrorizing me? Ugh. Wait. What if agree? Maybe they'd stop and I could even get what I longingly desire, revenge.

I mean kuya may even agree to it...

To be continued...
