Between the Shades of BlackRed

4: In the Hands of the Devil

RED

Gues who disturbed their meal with a bang on the table? Sino pa ba e di ang pinaglihi sa sama ng loob na si itim or should I say Dark. Pansin niyo, bagay niyang tawaging itim, kasing itim ng budhi niya.

"The fuck is she doing here?" Dark asked in annoyance, his forehead creased before focusing on Red.

"And you, stupid creature, why the hell are you with them?" naniningkit na tanong ni Dark kay Red.

Imbes na sumagot yung tatlo e natulala sila. What's their problem? Ang weird lang. Unang nakabawi si Thadeus.

"Am hearing it right Dark? You just spoke more than 10 words?" Thadeus said. He even fixed the center of his rimless glass.

In reponse, Dark just throw a look full of dagger towards Thadeus. Bago pa masabon ng panlalait si Red, she silently made her way out of the cafeteria. Iniwan niya yung kambal na nakatulala parin habang si Thadeus at Dark nagkakatitigan. Ewan ba niya sa mga siokoy na yun, may problema talaga sa utak.

"Fuck that Dark. Makakapatay na talaga ako pag hindi ko natagalan ang pag-uugali niya." Naiinis na sambit ni Red habang naglalakad. She's quite a short-tempered person especially to people who don't know how to be human.

In the end, Red just attended her afternoon class and then went straight home. Buti nalang at wala siyang nakitang mga kumag. They really irritate her, specially that Dark and Wayne. Wayne is so talkative while Dark is oozing with something out of this world, something that Red can't stand.

Novicus Residence, 12: OO Midnight

It was a bright night. The moon in its full glory hangs above the sky while the stars untiringly shared their little warmth, but it couldn't mask the restlessness in the dark. The night was quiet but not peaceful. It was bright but not enough to illuminate the heart of those in the dark side.

A shadow was stealthily lurking around the compound of the grand mansion. Before coming to the area, the shadow made sure to memorize the blueprint of the house, the location of the CCTV, and even the changing of shift between the security. The shadow could be seen holing a mini binocular powered with a night vision. It was to make sure that every nook and cranny of the mansion is surveyed. She is wearing an overall black spandex with a red mask covering half of her face.

Nakapwesto siya sa may bandang kanan ng mansyon. Elevated kasi doon na banda at kitang kita niya ang buong kabu-uan ng mansyon nang hindi nakaka-agaw ng pansin. Sa sandaling pagmamasid niya, napansin niyang nakatulog ang ibang gwardya. Hindi na niya kailangnag antayin ang papalit ng gwardiya bago pumuslit.

"Damn! This demon really paid many guard dogs to secure this doghouse!" Red thought while seeing how heavily guarded the mansion is. Witnessing how lavish the lifestyle of the man, her blood boiled in anger remembering the information about her target.

Richard Novicus, 41 years old, businessman and a known Philanthropist but behind his kind facade, he sold and abused numerous innocent souls in exchange for his money. That's how he was able to establish his empire.

"What a sick bastard! Today, I'll make sure that there will be one less evil in this world" she silently vowed to the souls that fell victim to Novicus' cruelty.

Just like a soul reaper ready to harvest souls, she clicked her neck left and right, wore a smirk while making sure her guns are loaded. She got a personalized twin gun with an insignia carved on it. The insignia was two swords connected with a Letter BT encrypted on it surrounded by black thorns. These were her comrade in death and in life.

"Ahh, here I come" she whispered after keeping the binoculars. Her blood was boiling. Her bones were screaming for some action, and the little demon in her heart began to stay restless. It was craving for blood, and she needed to quench the thirst.
