When they turned around, Nariah was captured by a tight squeeze on her neck.
"Fight little vampire... fight!" Dusk teased and as if on cue, Nariah pulled out his hand and sprung Dusk upsidedown without any hint of recognition.
"C-Chill!" Hirapang bigkas ni Dusk ngunit parang walang naririnig ang babae.
She tightened her grip on Dusk's neck, choking him to death. As seconds passed by, her pupils dilated and flickered from gray to yellow to orange to red to blue and to entirely white.
Doon na naalarma si Alvas.
"Nariah.. stop." He gently said at biglang napalingon sa kanya ang babae. Mula sa puting puting mga mata ay nagbalik ito sa kulay abo.
When Nariah was able to get out of the trance, shock and uneasiness trapped her upon seeing her right hand was tightly wrapped around Dusk's neck. Kaagad nyang binitawan ang leeg nito at nanginginig na napatayo.
"D-Don't be scared. You did a great job." Kahit hirap ay nagawang ngumisi ni Dusk sa kanya matapos sabihin iyon.
Nilapitan sya ni Alvas at hinawakan sa dalawang balikat.
"That. Fast reflexes, and we need to control your anger. Too much of it is not healthy." He said seriously. Nariah nodded and slumped as if she's very tired.
"You want to rest?" Tanong nya rito. Tumango ang babae tapos ay yumuko. Iniangat nya ang baba nito at nagtama ang kanilang mga mata.
He inched closer but when something magical's about to happen, the destroyers came.
"Fuck!" Dusk muttered, putting up his defenses.
"Tumakbo na kayo! Ako na ang bahala sa mga to!" Sigaw nya sa dalawa.
"We're not leaving you here!" Pagkasabi ni Alvas non ay hinawakan nya ng mahigpit ang kamay ng babae, inilagay ito sa likod nya habang hinihintay ang papalapit na mga kalaban.
Like a blur, three destroyers are in front of them, hissing like a snake, showing their fangs.
"What the fuck do you want? This is famiglia Figaro's territory." Dusk said calmly, contrasted on what he really feels. He wanted to smash those faces in front of him.
Napangisi ang nasa pinakaunahan na nagsisilbing pinuno ng grupo nito, lumampas ang tingin sa kanya at dumeretso sa likod nya kung saan nandon si Alvas.
"Easy Figaro brothers. We just want to know your... new friend?" Lalong lumawak ang ngisi nito nang makitang mas itinago ni Alvas sa kanyang likuran si Nariah.
Things happened so fast, in one split second, the leader of the destroyer is on Nariah's back, smelling, sniffing and touching her hair.
"New blood, your smell is..." But the destroyer wasn't able to finish his sentence.
"Fuck. Off."
Two words from Alvas before he grabbed the man's arm and stab it with his special syringe.
"Pinuno!" Sigaw nang dalawang kasama nang makita ang pagbagsak ng kanilang pinuno.
