The Escape

Chapter 26: Kill or Die

We had no idea na ganito ang mangyayari. The Order is so damn clever.

"Tell me, bakit gustong gusto ng Order na I - eliminate kayo?" Tanong ko kay Aira. She sighed.

"The Blue King. Gumawa sya ng malaking kasalanan sa Order at nadamay ang Demons." Sabi ni Aira.

"Alam ba nilang patay na ang Blue King?" Tanong ko.

"Hindi pa. But even if they know, they will still go after the Demons. I mean, hindi nila pwedeng kalimutan nalang ang kasalanan ng Blue King."

"We should settle this. But fighting them will only make it worse." Sabi ko. She looked at me, na para bang sinusuri ako.

"Exactly. But I don't think the others will understand. They're looking forward to this fight." Sabi ni Aira.

"Let them do what they want. Akala ko ba, Demons don't listen to anyone?" I smirked, and she finally get the point.

The Order only wants to make the Blue King pay for what he did, at kung ano mang kasalanan ang nagawa nya wala na akong pakialam. Kung magkakaroon ng laban then I will just have fun.

"Demons!" Napatingin ang lahat sa parang pinuno ata ng Crows, o tatawagin ko nalang bilang mga agents. "Come with us at mapapangako namin na hindi kayo masasaktan. But if you-" Nagulat ang lahat sa sobrang bilis ng pangyayari. Shiro attacked him... I could see it clearly... he used his sword to attack that man. Pero parang kanina lang ay kasama namin sya.

Sumugod ang ibang agents kay Shiro but they end up getting attacled by Shiro's sword. Ang iba ay hindi na naisipang sumugod kay Shiro. In just a blink of an eye, he defeated almost half of them.

"Naomi..." I looked at Aira's direction. She's serious. "It's your turn."

I formed my hands into a fist. Hindi ako nagdalawang-isip na sumugod sa direksyon ng Crows. Naging parte ako nila noon, but I could easily forget those moments. It's not like I betrayed them, 'cause in the first place I wasn't their ally.

Napatigil ako nang makita ko si Yusarin. Nakatayo siya sa tabi ni Kelvin. Nandito rin sila, and if this is about killing my friends I don't know if I could do it.

"Leader." Napatingin ako kay Shiro. Lumapit na rin ang ibang grupo ng Demons. We're only 5 meters apart with the Crows, and one wrong move it will gonna be a deadly match.

"I didn't know the Crows were agents." Sabi ni Aira. Ramdam kong nakatingin sa'kin sina Yusa at Kelvin. They're confused. Hindi nila alam na ako ang leader ng Demons and they must be thinking that I betrayed them.

"N-Nao." Pinilit ni Yusa na lumapit sa'kin. Pero hinarang ni Shiro ang sword nya. "W-What are you doing here?" Gulat na tanong nya. I looked at her, apologizing. But I can't utter a single word.

"She's our leader, the Scarlet Queen." Sabi ni King which surprised the Crows.

"M-May leader kayo!?" Gulat na tanong ng isa sa Crows. "P-Pero... patay na ang Blue King.."

"They planned an attack because they thought it will be easier to defeat us without a leader." Aira whispered in my ear.

"We should settle this!" Jonas stepped out of the crowd. Both rivals prepared their weapons.
