Under The Red Hood

Scynthia's PoV

"When are we going to live in one house?" I asked. "Maybe this up comming summer, the house is actually not done yet." Sabi ni tito.

"Oh, okay." I smiled.

Shit! This is so complicated!

Biglang dumating si Nash galing sa taas, his hair was damp like he just came out of the shower or something.

"So, did you agree yet?" Nash asked me smiling sweetly. "Actually, I did." I said with a smile.

His eyes widened and his lips parted. "What?" He asked. "I agreed." I repeated.

"I didn't think you would." Sabi niya. "Well I just did Nashie boo." I said pinching his cheeks.

"You guys look cute together." Tita commented. "Mom!" Sabi ni Nash.

"Thank you tita." I said with a smile.

The silence enveloped us for a few seconds until we heard thunder, our heads automatically snapped to the direction of the window and then we realized in was pouring... hard...

"Oh, Scynthia seems like you have to stay here for the night, it's practically hard to drive home in that." And as if on cue after she said it another thunder errupted. "Yeah, thank you tita, I think I should stay here." I said.

"I'll tell the maids to ready the guest room." Sabi ni tito sabay tayo. "For now Scynthia, why don't you join us for dinner." Sabi ni tita.

"Thank you." I said standing up and following her all the way to the dinning room.

Once everyone was seated we began to eat quietly, the only sounds that could be heard were the sound of the utensils crashing into each other, until Tita decided to break the silence.

"Oh by the way Scynthia, Can I ask you something I hope you don't get offended." Sabi ni tita. "What is it?" I asked.

"Do you fight?" She asked. "Po?" I was acting all confused.

"I mean do you like go on fights?" She asked. "Sorry, but I don't understand." Sabi ko.

"Do you go on underground fights or something like that?" She asked. "Why?" I was shocked.

"Because Charles does, we try to stop him but he can't be stopped I guess he's going to a phase or something." I giggled at Tita's statement. "Mom." Nash stated.

"That is weird, but to answer your question, yes, I do go on fights, but not always." The last part is a lie! "Wow, I admire your honesty." Sabi ni tita.

"Thank you." I said. "But may I ask why you go on these fights?" With what she said I just felt down.

I think she noticed it. "I'm sorry for asking." Sabi ni tita, I flashed her a smile. "It's okay, I just don't like to talk about it." I said.

"Oh." Was the last word spoken, then after that no one dared to talk again except for goodnights.

Nash guided me to the guest room, then we bid our goodnights. As I went in I just layed on the bed trying to sleep, but I can't... I just can't sleep when I feel down in the dumps. The silence and darkness enveloped me, the only noise heard is the rain crashing on the window and the thunder.

I took out my phone and texted my parents that I wont go home right now because of the rain. I was about to sleep when suddenly my phone beeped for a text.

From: Q.B January

Red, tomorrow at Empire 2 o'clock sharp.

P.S this is serious.

What's going on?

To: Q.B January

What's up?

It took her minutes before she replied back to me.

From: Q.B January

Just go, the whole gang is going.

Something about a traitor in the empire. The leaders are going to have a meeting about it.

Traitor?

To: Q.B January

Okay I'll be there.

Thanks for the notice.

She didn't take time to reply.

From: Q.B January

No probs :)

And with that I fell asleep.

*****

I'm wearing my mask and hood right now and I am now walking into the so called meeting room.

"I'm here." I said in my accent. "Why is there a kid here?" The leader of Blaze Empire asked.

"Don't underestimate my powers Mr. Blaze Leader." I said. "Who are you anyway? The costume party isn't here kid, get lost." Sabi ng leader ng Assasin Empire.

"Kid? Costume Party? Get Lost? How could you say that to me Leaders of the bottom two empires?" I asked. "Why? Who are you to make us stop?" Tanong nung leader ng Ruthless Empire.

"I guess I need a proper introduction." Sabi ko sabay tiningan ko si Lilly at ngumisi, she knows what I mean. "Leaders of the Four Empires, I bring to you Little Red Riding Hood The Leader of The Lethal Empire." Sa sinabi ni Lilly napanganga yung apat na leaders.

"What? Shocked that you got beaten up by a kid?" Pangasar ko. "Our appologies." They bowed down.

"Enough with that shit, what is going on anyways?" I asked sitting down. "There is a report that there is a traitor in the empire." Sabi nung leader ng Knock Out Empire.

"How is that possible?" I asked still in my accent. "We don't know how, but they say that this certain person is behind the missings of our money in our illegal and legal businesses." Sabi nung leader ng Blaze Empire.

"Get to the bottom of it or I'll have all our your heads off, meeting's done now get lost." Sa sinabi ko agad sila nagsialisan. "Black Widdow call the gang." Sa sinabi ko agad umalis si Lilly.

Pagbalik niya kasama na niya yung gang. "Upo." I said full of authority in my voice, they followed my command. "Why are we here?" Tanong ni Kendal. "I want you guys to investigate behind this whole traitor shit, okay?" I said.

"No problem!" Sabi ni January. "Black, call Charles Santiago." I said then Lilly walked out leaving me and the gang here.

"Why are you calling him?" Tanong ni Lex. "Para makilala na niya yung tunay na leader ng Lethal Empire, but of course hindi ko sasabihin yung tunay kong pangalan... oh and guys act as if you just found out I was the leader and you don't know each other, and if possible change your voices or use accents." They nodded.

Biglang pumasok na si Lilly kasama si Charles. "Hello Charles." I said with an accent. "Little Red Riding Hood!?" He gasped causing me to smirk.
