"Hey," I said while looking at Dimitri whose in his hospital bed right now. I decided to visit him after what happened in Araildi. He has a bandage on his left arm. Maybe it was the part that hurt him badly. Nonetheless, I can see that he's okay now. Other than his left arm there's no more critical part.

"Kumusta binibini?" sagot nito sa tanong ko. I am not just the only person in here if in case you want to know. I am with Trivonne who's reading a magazine with Helen as a cover girl. Isn't it awkward that he's reading one of her magazines knowing she's just also here? She's just beside him. Crate leaning on the door. Damon, Daichi, and Pierre are nowhere to be found but Harper just visited Pink in the other room along with the first generation reapers. I still didn't visit Pink coz I don't know what to say.

"I'm fine. I should be the one asking you that?" I am sitting on one of the chairs in the room beside Dimitri's bed. I didn't know how he managed to detonate the bomb while still breathing. Is he that really strong? I should've asked that personally.

"Maayos na ang pakiramdam ko binibini, konting galos lang itong nakuha ko" he answered while smiling. Yeah I'm sure about that.

"You passed out! Sure you okay?" Crate butted in while looking at him. Trivonne and Helen just merely listen to the conversation. I little snickered at what Crate said. Sometimes he can be annoying.

"Shut up! I will still kick your ass after this" I'm still not used to it when Dimitri talks with others informally while with me he's more reserved and private.

They keep on exchanging swears and promises while I mentally drifted my mind. I'm thinking of what was happened yesterday. What action would be Mr. Torrecili will do to Eileithyia. Every time I think what happened yesterday makes me want to sympathize with Eileithyia. I was still amazed at what happened. I didn't expect the turnout of events.

Hinawakan niya ang nasaktang bahagi ng dibdib at masamang nakatitig sa akin.

"You shouldn't have underestimated us," I said while also looking badly at her.

"I don't want to prolong your agony. We'd better end this" Pierre automatically said while looking at her.

Then the next thing happened Pierre emits smoke out in his hand and it suddenly crawl out to Eileithyia's body. She cringed upon seeing the smoke on her body. Horror and terror were written on her pretty face. I know she's scared. Damn scared to be exact. Even I cringe upon the sight of his smoke that lingering to Eileithyia's body. But what stopped me was the next thing she did. She kneeled and tears start to fall in her eyes. She begged for her life! She's begging us to spare her life and in return, she will always have her loyalty to us, just to US alone.

"I'm begging you to please spare me! Spare my life! Sorry! Please pity me!" she almost kissed my foot If I wasn't just turned away. Pierre suddenly took back the smokes.

I never imagined that the underworld queen will beg for her life. Not with me nor Pierre or even to Mr. Torrecili. But what she's doing right now is exactly the opposite! Damn. I know we're not the right ones to take away her life but what she did to Pink is unforgivable! Gone is the insensitive and arrogant queen I met and sparred a while ago. All I can see right now is the other side of the queen which is humble and begging to spare her life.

"Please I'm sorry, sorry, from now on I will surrender my loyalty to you. To the both of you! Just please spare my life" I don't want to see her like this. Yes, I am happy that she's begging for her life but I don't like the fact that she's begging. I want the ever arrogant Eileithyia I've known not this other side of her. I know and can feel that she's really serious and sincere about what she's talking about.
