"Ate."Sa pag-aakalang kapatid niya ito, ay mabilis niyang tinapos ang buhay ng kalaban niya at hinayaan itong mamatay habang hawak ang dibdib na binaril niya.
She faced him, pero iba'ng binata ang nakita niya. Nanatili siyang tahimik at winari kong nakikilala ba siya ng binata.
Tinanggal nito ang maskara, at ngumiti sa babae.
"I always feel that I was incomplete. Looking for clues, looking for my family. Asking myself, ano'ng mali sa'kin para iwanan nila ako."
Hindi maintindihan ng babae kung bakit sinasabi ito ng binata.
"Ate Nathalia, I know that's you. Please say something."
Dahil sa sinabi nito ay napilitang hinila ni Nathalia si Caden patungo sa dilim. She took of her mask and pulled him closer to give him a hug.
"Nothing's wrong with you, hindi namin ginustong mawala ka samin."
Caden cried and Nathalia was just silent while she was hugging him. Sobrang wala sa oras ang pagtatagpo nila, but who knows, maybe it was really destined to finally know the truth here.
Kumalas sa yakap si Nathalia at pinahid ang luha ng kapatid niya.
"Wrong timing pag-iyak mo." Biro niya. Tumawa ang binata at pinahid ang sariling luha.
"I'll be with you in this battle ate, let's save mom,dad, and my brother"
Katahimikan ang namutawi sa malaking function hall na kinaroroonan nila. Gulat ang nasa mukha ng lahat, well except of Rieko. Siya kasi ang kasama ni Hades ng kuha nin nila si Caden mula sa pamilya nito. Siya rin ang humarang sa sasakyan nito noon.
"Caden, what's the meaning of this?" Mahinahong tanong ni Russel. Hindi padin makagalaw dahil sa nakatutok na baril sa ulo niya na anumang oras ay maaaring kumitil sa buhay niya.
"They're my siblings. And the hostages are my parents and my other brother. All my life, I was searching for them. Please, I just want my family to be complete. Tulungan niyo naman ako oh" sagot ni Caden at humingi pa ng tulong sa dalawang kambal. Well they're Hades' son afterall.
"No Caden. No one can ever stop this war. Kamatayan niya o kamatayan ko ang tatapos sa gyerang to."
Malamig na sabi ni Nathalia. It send shivers to Dyron Cal, he never knew that she could be this cold. Gaano ba talaga kalalim ang galit nito sa ama niya?
"Sino ka ba sa tingin mo para tapusin ang buhay ng ama ko?"
Nathalie scoffed and let out a laugh, "Then ask your father, sino ba siya sa tingin niya para patayin ang nanay mo? Have you ever ask him, kung bakit niya kinuha si Caden sa'min? Kung bakit niya ginawang impyerno ang buhay namin?! Or were you just that stupid to believe na inosenti ang tatay mo sa lahat ng nangyayaring to?!"
Hinila ni Nathalia sa kwelyo si Dyran Aze at tinaas ito. "And you? I thought you were smart enough! Oh baka naman mas magaling ka lang talagang mang-usisa ng buhay ng iba kesa sa sarili mong ama?!"
Ibinagsak niya ito sa sahig at tumayo sa harapan nilang lahat, humahangos sa galit at walang ibang gusto kung hindi tapusin na ang labang ito.
"All I ever was a simple life, a complete family and be free from all of this bullshit! And your dad ruined everything!"
Sigaw ng dalaga at tuluyang lumabas ng function hall. Ibinaba ng kambal ang baril na nakatutok kay Axel at Russel. Princess swayed her sword, hitting Rieko's feet that made him shout, it was a deep cut and would surely make him feel numb in the lower part.
Huminahon na rin si Caden at lumapit sa mga kapatid niya. Princess, on the other hand, "Huwag niyo ng subukang manlaban. Tanging kayo na lang sa Mafia niyo ang nabubuhay."
Russel swallowed the big lump on his throat. Umalis ang apat na naiwang nakatulala sa hangin habang habol ang hininga.
Dyron laughed at Rieko. "Oa mo, yan lang at namimilipat ka na?" Rieko just cursed him and they all laughed.
"I'm tired. Should we just stop this too?" Tanong ni Dyran sakanila and they all agreed to it.
"Pagod na'kong maging tuta ng tatay mo." Dyran smiled at Russel. Well, they grew up being Hades' slaves in fear that he would kill their families.
They were all laughing while walking ng biglang tumigil si Dyron. "I want to stop too, twin. But Nathalia is on her way to dad, I can't lose father, Dy." Saad nito at nginitian ang kambal bago tumakbo paalis.
Nathalia's Point of view
Hindi ko na pinansin ang mga kapatid ko at sumunod lang kay Princess na nauna na pala saking maglakad para ituro ang daan.
I was so occupied of what should I do when I get to faced him again. Naiisip ko palang ang mukha niya ay kumukulo na ang dugo ko.
We stopped on a black wall and got confused when Princess starts chanting an out of this country language. And to my surprise, the door lighted in a form of a door at dahan dahan itong bumukas. May scanner dun, para sa mata at kamay, but then Princess touch her sword's blades and drop some liquid on the buttom part of the scanner ay tuluyan ito bumukas.
"It was the blood of that Rieko guy. I can't access the scanners dahil nasira niya yon kanina. Bwesit" pag-eexplain ni Princess. Tumawa si Nathalie at Kris dahil sa bahid ng pagka-irita sa mukha ni Princess. Habang tahimik lamang si Caden.
Nagpatuloy kami sa paglalakad at napatigil sa harap ng double-door ng nag-iising kwarto dito, it was actually the dead end of this pathway, ito lang din ang nag-iisang kwarto dito or maybe ang iba ay nakatago na naman.
I inhaled some air before turning the knob and push it. Tinulak ko ang sariling pumasok at napa-awang ang labi ng makita ang nakaluhod na katawan ni Hades habang hawak siya ni mommy sa kwelyo.
"Oh, Hi baby Thal! And oh my siblings too!" Magiliw na bungad samin ni Nathan na parang wala lang sakanya ang mga pasa at sugat sa katawan.
Lalapitan ko na sana sila ng biglang may tumakbo sa gilid ko dahilan para matulak ako sa gilid. It was Dyron Cal. He pushed my mother, causing her to let go of Hades. He sat infront of his father and spread out his arms, acting like he was protecting him.
"Please. I lose my mother, I can't lose my father too." He cried.
"You idiot. Never begged on them! Stand up, you idiot! Idiot!" Patuloy siyang hinila pababa ng ama niya kahit nanghihina na itong nakadapa sa lupa.
"Dad, please. They won, just accept it!" Sigaw niya sa ama.
My mother was just standing there infront of him. Lumapit ako kay mommy at hinawakan ang kamay niya. She smiled at me as she caress my hair softyly.
"You found us my child." Mas humigpit ang hawak ko sa kamay niya. Daddy pulled me into a hug and Nathan on the other hand pulled the twin to hug them.
Mommy lean over to put his hand on Dyron face and Dyran's face who has already here surprisingly, "You look just like your mother. Don't worry, I had no intention on killing your father. I would not like the idea of your mom haunting me in my dreams children." Saad nito habang tumatawa.
