Queen's Point of View

"What's with the waiter, Helga?"- Shai asked her. Nandito kami sa loob ng kwarto ni Henna dito sa hospital. She's stable and she needs to rest.

"That waiter put that chemical like 'Belladonna'."- She answered.

"How did you know?"- I asked her and still she's looking away. It seems like many things run inside of her head.

"That waiter stares at us—at me. And I saw a freakin' tattoo in his neck."- She answered our question. Napa-kunot noo naman ako. A tattoo in his neck? Could that be...

"Yes. Stupid, Cygnus."- she said and still looking away. Nangngitngit naman ako sa galit. Bullshit.

"I guess this is the first sign."- I said at natigilan naman silang dalawa. Helga looked at me.

"Y-you think this is the beginning? If it is then we should be alert!"- ani Shai at tiningnan si Henna na natutulog.
The Belladonna ate all of her energy and made her body weak and tired... and what's worst is that there's a possibility that she'll die but according to the doctor she's fine.

"We must train our skills more."- Helga suggested and bit her lip.

*~*

"Henna! Finally! You're awake!'- masayang sabi ni Shaitan at yinakap si Henna. Pumunta naman kami sa kanyang tabi.

"What just happened? Why is it your faces are different?"- pambungad na tanong niya at tiningnan ang paligid. Nanlaki naman ang kanyang mga mata.

"What the fvck am I doing in this hospital!? Sh!t!"- she freaked out. Yeah, I expected this. She really realllyyyy hate hospitals. Aniya nakakatakot daw kasi baka sundan siya ng mga espirito ng kanyang mga pinatay. Tss. Stupid. Lels.

"Someone poisoned you, Henna. From Cygnus' clan. Don't worry, I already killed him."- sabi ni Helga.

"Who? Yun bang gwapo na nakita mo sa restaurant?"- tanong ni Henna at hindi mapakali. She even tried to remove the dextrose!
"Nope."- Helga.

Bigla naman pumasok ang doctor kasama ang nurse. Dala-dala nila ang kanilang notes.

"She's awake..  good thing. Pwede na siyang lumabas ng hospital tomorrow."- then mayroon pang sinabi ang doktor. Na kailangan raw'ng kumain muna ng healthy foods and etcetera then umalis na ang doctor with her nurse. I even saw the nurse smirked bago siya tuluyang lumabas. I stand up and check the dextrose if it's okay. Wala naman akong makitang mali so... good. I want to follow the nurse but I think it's enough that Helga already trashed the garbage (the guy).

"I want to talk to Harith. May I?"- tanong ni Henna.

"Hala! Oonga pala. We must report this to them."- sabi ni Shaitan.
"Don't tell them yet about Cygnus."- sabi bigla ni Helga kaya napa 'huh' naman si Shai.

"She's right. Not now."- I said. Yes I agree. This is very personal. Maybe next time I guess...
"well okay then."- and she dialed the numbers.

"Hello?"- sabay loud speak. It's very strange kasi medyo matagal-tagal bago nagsalita sila.

"Hi Baby Shai! Napatawag ka? Miss your saber?"- I almost laugh hard. Baby Shai? Er. Si Saber yung nag-salita.

"Uhm. Saber! We have news to report."- sabi ni Shai.

"Oh! Okay what is it?"- rinig pa naming tawag niya kina Hanzo.

" Nandito na sila. Nakikinig. What is that news, Baby Shai? Aww--"- mukhang may nanapak ata sa kanya at natawa nalang si Shaitan.

"Henna got poisoned by an unknown."- sabi na ni Shaitan. ,

"WHAT?!"- I think that's Harith.

"Don't worry Harith! I'm alright."- Henna at narinig naming nagmura si Harith. Galit ata kasi nasaktan ang kanyang lover...lel.

"Pagbalik namin diyan. Sisiguraduhin naming mamata—

"Too late, Chris. He is already fixed in the trash."- masungit na sabi ni Helga. There she goes.

" That's mah girl."- proud na sabi ni Vale kaya medyo natawa kami.

"Okay lang ba kayo diyan? My queen?"- napangiti ako nang marinig ko na yung nagsalita.

" Of course, Hanz."- I said. Now my day is complete whenever I see, hear, touch him. Err. I'm kinda' a little crazy about them—him. Tch.

Binaba na ni Shai ang tawag. Aniya kailangan naming magprepare para sa malapit na training. Well then! Iniwan muna namin si Henna sa hospital kasama si Shaitan. At umalis naman kami ni Helga to prepare things.

"Moniesze... I really doubt about them."- tumigil muna ako sa pag-ayos ng aming training room dito sa mansion namin kasama ang mga kasambahay. I turned to Helga.

"Who's them?"- may kutob naman akong 'sila' ang ibig-sabihin niya but I hope it is not.

"Death Kings."- simpleng sabi niya pero nanliit naman siya.

"What's about them, Helg? Hmm?"- I said and continued fixing. "It's not right to conclude things without proof, Moniesze b-but...I just thought maybe they're one of C-cygnus'."- she said made me pause for a moment.

"What made you think about that?"- I asked her seriously.
"Remember 'Royals'? Yung plano natin tungkol kay Cygnus? ( at tumango naman ako) They were there a-and that made my mind puzzled."- she said. Yeah right. They were there. I even remember how I saw Hanzo beside me. Hmm?

"And there's this thing about yesterday."- and I mouthed 'what'.

"Recall the handsome guy in the restuarant...H-he gave me goosebumps! And I saw a tattoo in his neck. It's not a symbol or something but it's a name written in Hebrew."- he explained. Written in Hebrew huh? I heard Cygnus' clan loves Jewish colonials. Hebrew is included. Naningkit naman ang mata ko kay Helga.

"What's the name?"- I said and naniningkit pa rin ang mga mata ko.

"Hayes."

Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ko. "Dang it!"- I cursed!

"Hayes. Cynus' beloved son."- I said and look far away.

" I knew it! He sends me a chilling yet devil aura!."- she murmured.

"So it's really the signal no. 1? Huh? Poison? Tch...Parang bagyo lang! Langya! Mga mukha nila parang dinaanan ng bagyo!"- then she burst out. I almost laughed.

"Tomorrow. Whole day training. 5 minutes break time every 3 hours."
