Forbidden Love

FL: Chapter 9

[Keiza]

-----

Energy was surging through me as I positioned myself to attacked the boss who was impersonating...Keith. I combined the two guns again, creating the sword.

"Let's see how well you'd fare fighting with your ex-boyfriend." He smirked as our swords clashed creating a loud, ear-piercing sound. We jumped back at the force of our attack.

"Just one question before we go on." He lowered his raised sword and gazed at me with questioning eyes as he read my mind. "How many times can you shift in an hour."

He chuckled for a reason I don't know. "Curious now, are we? To answer your question, I can shift every fifteen minutes." So four times an hour? This is bad. Mas malakas sa akin si Keith.

But seriously... I looked at him, trying not to let him read my mind. This guy's an idiot. Why would he give out such an important information to the enemy?

"Awesome, isn't it?" He asked with a smug face.

Oh. That explains everything. To boast.

"Okay. Time to get serious." I said and positioned myself. This is better. Think of it as revenge, Keiza. You'd be able to vent out your anger, too.

Sabay kaming sumugod and, once again, our swords hit each other making an ear-piercing sound. He moved quickly, moving behind me and slashing my back.

"Shit!" I cursed in pain, glaring at him. "You..."

Hindi ko ininda ang sakit sa likod ko at sinara ang mga mata ko. You can beat him, Keiza. You know how to use a sword, gun and do martial arts.

"Aww! Is the wittle pwincess giving up aweady?" He teased, copying a child's voice. Tsk. English pa more, bes. Hindi ka talaga nakakahawa.

Once I opened my eyes, mages started flowing in my mind. In an instant, I knew more about handling the weapons I have and how to do martial arts. Wow. Being optimistic really is amazing.

"Get ready, you Dreaken, cause I will beat you up into a pulp."

He smirked. "I'd like to see you try, human." Sumugod siya sa akin at iniwasiwas ang kaniyang espada. I evaded all his attacks, dodging and blocking with my sword. I tried to find an opening to hit him with my sword, and when I did, it landed on his torso.

He fell to the ground but stood up almost immediately as if he was not hit and was about to stab me when I gave him an upper cut. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng masalo niya ito. Binaligag niya ako and I landed on the wall across the room. Groaning in pain, I tried to stand on my feet before he could reach me.

"You don't have to fight me, Keiza." He said with a pleading face.

"Shut up! You are NOT Keith and you will NEVER be him!" He visibly winced when I shouted in my head as he read my mind.

"You really don't give up, do you?" Now, he was holding my neck, raising me up in the air. I tried removing his hand be he only held me tighter. "Stubborn girl. You would have had a longer life if only you didn't meddle with me. Now you will die!"

He raised his sword, pointing it to my heart. With my free hand - which was my right - I swung my sword around and made a cut on his arm holding unto my neck. When his grip loosened, I raised the sword and pierced his leg. Mabilisan kong hinanap kung nasaan ang kanyang puso at hinanda ko ang espada ko, hesitating to kill him. Bakit ba ako ganito? Why do I feel pity even for my enemies?
