Song of The Rebellion

Risked

Kara's POV

"Damn it." I mumbled under my breath as I felt the rain starting to fall again.

Tumigil kami sa harap ng cave. Chase was already there but he was staring at the guy standing at the entrance. Napatingin kami kay Trev na tila nakatulala.

"Trev! Nakita mo ba si Cesia? Huhuhu! Nawawala siya ihh!" nag-aalalang tugon ni Art.

Napansin ko ang vial na gumulong at nahulog mula sa kweba. Pinulot ko ito at napagtantong ito yung vial na may lamang tubig mula sa Underworld.

And the problem here is...

wala na itong laman.

"The fuck is that?!" hinablot ni Ria ang vial mula sa kamay ko.

Napatingin ako sa lalaking nakatayo sa harap namin at walang kibo.

"Wait. Sinong gumamit nito?! Bakit ubos na ang laman nito?!" sigaw ni Ria.

Gods.

Bakit hindi ko naisip yon?!

Nung mapansin ko ang putik sa jeans niya, that was because the night before, he sneaked out to retrieve the vial that was hidden somewhere in the cave.

And then now... ginamit niya ito para kay Cesia.

Hindi ko alam kung paano niya pinainom ito ni Cesia.. so he must have forced her to drink it.

Cesia...

I expect Cesia to be atleast unconscious after drinking it.. but now, she's gone.

Which means we were right.

Cesia has gone somewhere in the past.

"Trev!" napalingon ako kay Ria na pulang-pula ang mukha dahil sa matinding galit. "Anong ginawa mo kay Cesia?!"

"T-teka.. pinainom niya si Cesia n-nun?" nagtataka si Art.

Hindi sumagot si Trev.

"Trev!" hindi na napigilan ni Ria ang kanyang sarili. Her eyes already turned to gold. "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!"

Ria was quick. Madali siyang nakasummon ng weapon. It was a spear... and it hit right below Trev's chest.

My eyes widened. Nagulat ako sa ginawa ni Ria. Ngunit mas nagulat ako nang hindi man lang gumalaw si Trev. Hindi niya iniwasan ito.

Blood trickled down his shirt but he was still motionless. Yumuko lang siya para tignan ang weapon na nakabaon sa katawan niya.

"Dio! Make a barrier now!" utos ko sa katabi ko na nagulat rin sa nangyari.

"What do you mean make a barrier?" kumunot ang kanyang noo. "He didn't get to protect her. He deserves the pain."

What the hell.

Umiling-iling ako. "You don't understand. He's already hurt!"

"Ano-"

"JUST DO IT SON OF POSEIDON!" napasigaw ako.

He quickly summoned a barrier that was made out of water. Tinakpan nito ang entrance ng cave.

Bago pa umatake si Ria at ilabas ang matinding galit niya, tumakbo ako sa harap ng barrier para pigilan siya.

"Even if you wound him. Ria." humihingal ako. "He's not going to take her back."

Because he can't.
