Caille Lee...
That person is dead to me.
Ever since I lost him, ever since he died because of me.
It has been more than a year since pumunta ako ng U.S. para magtago mula sakanila.
Five painful months trying to get used to the pain of losing him. I will always remember him forever till the day I am reunited with him.
They gave me a new name. A new identity.
Cathia Izobel Carminatti.
Sa lahat ng pangalan na binigay nila saakin ay yun yung pinakatumatak saakin at yun yung huling pangalan na gagamitin ko.
I'm sick and tired of hiding. It's time to fight back.
It's time to make them run and hide.
It's time for them to pay.
Prologue
Somewhere in the United States...
I stared at the two rings in the chain around my neck. It's been... what? A year? A year of always on the run from them, always finding a new place a new identity? A year since I lost him.
A year since it happened...
Natigil ako sa iniisip ko nang marinig ko si Grey.
"Miss Carminatti." Tawag ni Grey mula sa labas ng pinto.
I dropped the ring from my hand and hid it inside my shirt before answering.
"What is it Grey?" walang gana kong tanong. If this is about the responsibilities again, I don't want to hear it or I might just shoot him.
"I just have to-." his voice was drowned by the series of gunshots.
Tumayo a ako kaagad at kinuha yung baril sa bedside table at tinutok ito sa pinto na handa nang kalabitin ito. Wala pang isang minuto nang bigla bumukas ang pinto at ang lapit ko nang makalabit nang makita ko ang pumasok kaya binaba ko na ito.
Si Grey, Florence at yung mga kasamahan nila habang isa ang duguan. Mabilis nilang sinirado yung pinto at lumapit sakin.
"Anong nangyari?" agad kong tanong habang naririnig parin ang putukan sa baba. Sinubukan kong hindi pansinin yung dugo, after all those months ay hindi pa ako sanay. Instead I looked straight at Grey.
"They found us. Again." Sabi ni Florence na kalmado yung mukha. Matagal nang may sumusunod saamin, ang huling rinig ko ay tumaas ang pabuya sa sinong makakahuli sa Vermillion, buhay man o patay. So far wala namang nakuha saamin ni Carrie. "We have to get you out of here."
May putok nanaman ng baril ang narinig namin bago bumukas ulit yung pinto at sabay-sabay kaming napatutok ng baril nang makita namin ang pumasok.
"We could've shot you." sabi ni Florence at sabay kaming napababa ng baril at sinirado na ulit yung pinto.
"What? Did you expect me to knock? Uhh... ako nga pala ito, si Dylan. Pwede pumasok kasi binabaril na kami dito sa labas." sarcastic na sagot ni Dylan. Leave it to Dylan to liven up a shitty situation. Hinihingal siyang lumapit at hawak ang braso niyang duguan.
"There's too many of them." Dadag niya.
"We noticed, captain obvious. Duguan ka ba kung hindi sila marami." Sabi naman ni Florence.
