THE FOUR RINGS

Chapter 32

"Tell me what's going on." pagmamakaawa ni Jeff.

Hanggang ngayon kasi ay wala pa rin siyang alam sa kung ano ang nangyayari. Nilingon naman siya ni Sherie na kasalukuyang gumagawa ng army niya.

"Just tell me. Please." he begged again.

Dahil sa nagmamakaawang mukha ni Jeff ay hindi mapigilang mapatawa ni Sherie. This boy know nothing, she thought.

"Kent!" tawag niya, "yung leader niyo ang pangit oh! Sabihin mo nga kung anong nangyayari!" aniya.

Jeff heaved a sigh of relief. At last! Malalaman niya na rin.

"Siri sensed something and passed it on me..." Kent started.

"Pasuspense pa 'to." Jeff commented.

"Do you want to know or not? 'Wag ka na kasing sumingit."

"Dali na. Tumitigil ka pa kasi." Sumenyas si Jeff na ipagpatuloy lamang ni Kent ang sinasabi niya.

"Okay. So she sensed something and that wa-" Kent stopped.

May malakas kasi na pagsabog galing sa rooftop ang narinig nila. It was a big explosion made by two kinds of fire.

"Jessie!" Kent shouted.

Akmang tatakbo na sana siya ngunit tinawag siyang muli ni Sherie.

"Kent!"

Nilingon niya naman iyon and the silhouettes Siri sensed earlier are now small figures advancing on where they are right now.

"Jeff..." called Kent.

"Yeah?"

"That's what's going on."

"Oh fuck." He exclaimed.

Blaist kept on advancing on where Jessie is at patuloy naman siyang gumagawa ng sphere.

"Come with me Jessie." yaya ni Blaist.

"Stop it Blaist!" aniya at tinapon ang isang sphere.

Again, a large explosion was made when her sphere and Blaist's fire collided.

"Like what I've told you, kahit ilang beses mo pa akong patayin, mabubuhay at mabubuhay lang rin naman ako. Stop wasting your energy." payo niya.

"If you're getting for revenge then just stop! Bakit mo ba ito ginagawa?" tanong ni Jessie.

"Revenge?" She asked, amused. "Oh no, I'm just waiting for someone like you, dear."

Kumunot ang noo ni Jessie, "Like me?"

Why would Blaist wait for someone like me? Then she dismissed that thought. She's just waiting for someone like herself; an immortal. She rebutted herself.

"Alam mo ba kung ilang taon na ako? Alam mo ba kung ilang beses na akong nagkaanak at iniwan? Alam mo ba kung bakit ako umalis sa Hari at Reyna?" she giggled, "You'll ask this questions in the future you know."

"I'm not like you," sagot ni Jessie.

"For now."

Blaist tilted her head. Humakbang ito papalapit sa kaniya but Jessie made a border line made with fire.

Blaist seemed surprised dahil napanganga ito ng saglit pero agad ring nakabawi. She immediately disappeared.

"Itigil mo na 'to, Blaist!" sigaw ni Jessie; her fire lit up the whole place.
