UNDER Series #5: Controlling her desires.

PROLOGUE

"Where the hell is Yuela?!" I shouted in frustration.

Lexian and Leviane were already safe, along with one of our maids, but I can't seem to fucking find my Yuela!

"H-hey....where is your sister?" My lips trembled as I asked Leviane, who was silently crying.

He was calmer than his twin Lexian, who was having hysterical panic because of how huge the fire was.

Nawawala na ako sa tuliro, palaki na nang palaki ang apoy sa mansyon. It was my fault for leaving them behind in for a second! Sana hindi ko na kinuha 'yung plates ko!

"Leviane—"

"I...I don't know tito..." Naiiyak na sagot sa akin ng pamangkin ko, kahit na hindi pa n'ya pa alam ang sasabihin ko.

Malaking buntong hininga na lang ang binitawan ko dahil doon, at ginulo ang buhok nito para sabihin na okay lang.

Leviane was just 3 years old, and this situation can easily overwhelm him.

I just put a fake smile on my face, before leaving him with one of our maids.

Nasapo ko na lang ang ulo ko dahil sa sobrang pag aalala. My kuya isn't here, as well as his wife, so I'm the one incharge to take care of the kids.

Yet, I lost my princess!

Hindi na rin kinakaya ng mga tauhan namin ang mabilis na pag kalat ng apoy dahil sa malakas na hangin. The fire is eating the part of Kuya's mansion, and it was savuoring his property rapidly.

I'm not afraid that he'll be mad, 'cause it was just his property after all, but I'm more afraid of what might happen to my only niece; she was the most playful and naughty among the three of them.

At, sa puntong 'to hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko na kung pati si Yuela ay makita kong mawala sa mismong harap ng mga mata ko.

Kung saan saang parte ng mansyon s'ya nakakarating, na miski ako ay hindi ko alam na may ganon pala sa lugar na tinitirahan namin.

If she wasn't here, I'm sure that she was still inside the mansion, especially in the part where their playroom was located.

"Fuck..." I cursed under my breath as I made my hands run through my face.

Inilagay ko ang mga mata ko sa harapan, kasabay ng pagsalubong ng nag aalab na apoy mula sa harapan ko.

My temperature drops, as my heart beats get heavier than earlier.

Wala ako sa mismong apoy, pero ramdam na ramdam na ng balat ko ang init na dumadapi sa balat ko.

Nagkakagulo na ang lahat ng mga tauhan sa mansyon, pero andito ako nakatingin lang habang kwenekwentsyon ang mga dapat kong gawin ko.

I rolled my hands into fists, as I looked in front again.

Isang malaking buntong hininga ang binitawan ko, kasabay ng madiin na pag pikit ng mga mata.

"T...Tito si Yuela..." A small voice from my side hummed.

Sa pag mulat ng mata ko ay isang pilit na ngiti ang binitawan ko, kasabay ng pag gulo sa buhok ng pamangkin ko.

"Don't worry...I'll make sure your sister is safe," I assured him.

Wala ng kahit anong pag iisip, ay inihakbang ko ang mga paa ko patungo sa nag aalab na mansyon.

I need to save my princess.

I need to make sure she wasn't hurt.

I need to get her out, safe and sound—

"San ka pupunta?" An unfamiliar voice, with a mocking tone, asked while gripping my wrist.

I threw a bloodshot eye in that person's direction.

Looking at this one, I could tell it was a firefighter.

Hindi ko maaninag sa likod ng gear na suot n'ya ang itsura, pero kahit ano pa ay wala akong pakialam. I need to save Yuela.

I aggressively pulled my wrist out of that grip and walked towards the fire.

Wala na akong pakialam kung anong mangyari sa akin, basta makuha ko lang ang pamangkin ko—

My thoughts got cut off when I felt something concrete hit my stomach.

"Sorry, precaution lang sa mga matitigas ulo." Ewan ko ba kung anong tono ang binitawan nito, pero nang i angat ko ang mga mata ko ay ang parehong bombero ang s'yang sumuntok sa akin dahilan para mapaluhod ako.

Fuck! That was solid as fuck!

"Just stay right there, and let the professional handle the situation." Madiing sambit nito.

I pressed my stomach as I looked at that firefighter's position, I felt like that punch was the hardest I felt.

Gaya ng sabi nito, ay kita ko ang paglalakad n'ya patungo sa loob ng mansyon habang hawak hawak ang isang hose.

The water from their truck was in shield mode, preventing fire from getting in their way.

Dalawa lang ang pumasok sa loob ng mansyon. That same firefighter who's holding an axe, and another one who's holding the pressure host.

Nang mabawi ko ang lakas ko, ay dahan dahan akong napatayo sa kinauupuan ko.

Hindi ko alam kung anong mararamdaman ko, ang bigat sa dibdib. Nanlalamig ang buong sistema ko, ang daming ideya ang pumapasok sa isip ko.

I shrugged off every thought that I had; I couldn't let myself drown in this situation.

Not long ago, my eyes widened when I saw a kid in that one firefighter's hands.

Wala nang inaksaya ang mga paa ko, kasabay ng mabilis na paghalbot sa pamangkin ko mula sa kamay nito.

"Y...you're safe!" I mumbled in a faded frustration as I hugged Yuela in my arms.

Hindi 'to nagsalita, pero binalik rin ang yakap sa akin habang umiiyak.

I felt that I'd gone crazy if something happened to her, in any of them. I can't, hindi ko na kaya.

"Drix!" A loud voice called my name as I saw Kuya not far from our position.

Nasa kamay n'ya na si Leviane, habang nasa braso naman ni Ate Lewis si Lexiane.

Naigala ko ang mga bata ko sa posiyon kung nasaan ang bombero na s'yang nagligtas sa pamangkin ko.

My eyes narrowed as I looked in one of the firefighters' direction when I saw that one taking off the gear that he was wearing.

My mouth flew open and a magical woman greeted my eyes as she took her helmet off, revealing her hair mixed with three colors. A half of a white, and half of a black, and red streaks from the other side.

She tied her hair up, lowering her heat protective gear to her waist,  revealing her well-built body covered with different huge scars, and dark dust from the fire. But, it wasn't her face nor body that caught my attention.

It was the blood continuously dripping from her shoulder that made her eyes close in sight.

Napahawak din 'to sa truck malapit sa kan'ya, kasabay ng pagsandal doon at mahigpit na paghawak sa balikat na inaagusan ng napakaraming dugo.

"What the hell happened to her?" I asked myself, still looking in her direction.

"She...she covered me from the...big steel that almost hit me..." Umiiyak sa leeg ko na sagot ni Yuela.

Nagunot ang noo ko dahil doon, at humigpit ang yakap sa pamangkin ko.

I don't even care if she's hurt or what, knowing that it was her work.

But, if she was hurt because she saved my precious little angel.

A smirk form from my lips because of that sight. 

That was interesting.

She was interesting, and I want her.
