Curse

"Masters." We said in a unison.

"I'm ecstatic to see you again, my childrens." Papa's soothing voice greeted us.

"First of all, I've heard about what you did at the coffee shop, Athena." Papa smiled and it made my heart in awe.

"Yes! It girl! " Lex sounded so proud.

"That's my little sister." While Kuya Tros sounded arrogant and proud.

"Though, nothing's new 'bout it." I lazily said. But my heart feels so happy.

"But still, you have a good future ahead of you. Especially, in medical field." It's Mama.

Everyone seems proud of me and clapped for me. Expect for one. Ow...

"Ohmy! Thank you, everyone. Now let's not go further and just focus on the meeting." I dismissed them.

I'm here at the conference room with Lex, having a meeting together with our masters and the other generals via RIS. And there's a big screen in front of us right now.

"I've heard a news that our enemy's already moving. They've been spotted spying on Athena this morning." Mama said calmly.

"Fantastic! What a bold move." Kuya Theo beamed.

"Gabriel. Your report, please." Papa ordered with a soothing voice.

"Alonso with his men ambushed me while I'm on my way to firm." Napatayo ako. Shock was evident on others face too. The woman beside me didn't even flinched.

"Did you took him down?!" Kuya Tros removed his specs harshly and slammed his hands on the table.

"Unfortunately, no. I assumed that he just wants to tell us that he's back and just trying to scare us." Kuya Gab's voice sounds calm yet I can see anger in his eyes.

"Everyone, the curse finally moved by itself. My order is for you all to observe your surroundings. All the time. Got it?" Papa ordered.

"Sir, yes, sir!"

"Dalia, I want you elevate the signal alert into violet." Papa ordered his wife.

Violet... the second highest alert in the agency.

"Brace yourself, for the biggest danger might come anytime and anywhere." Tumayo na sila papa kaya tumayo na rin kaming lahat.

"Be careful, my childrens. All the time." Masters smiled at us.

"Meeting adjourned." Bago pa nila mapatay ang tawag ay nakita kong may nginitian si Mama sa harap nila.

"Li-" Then everyone vanished from the big screen.

I looked at Lex who's been quite since she arrived at the mansion.

I tapped her shoulder, "Take a rest, Xandra." Then ruffled her hair a bit.

She smiled at me genuinely but it didn't last long before she gawked at nowhere, so I decided to leave her alone. For the meantime.

She's bothered by the news. We all are.
