His Aphrodite

[Chapter 14: Need]

*Cerulean's Point of View

Halos ilang minuto na ang lumilipas at parang wala silang balak na alisin ang mga titig nila sa akin simula nang makita nila ako dito at magpakilala kahit hindi ko naman tinatanong kung sino sila.

What do they still want from me? Umayos ako ng tayo at aalis na sana nang harangin na naman nila ako.

"Get out of my sight."Diin kong sabi na nagpabigla naman sa kanila. Tumikhim naman si Hue at humakbang sa akin papalapit.

Diretso niya akong tinignan na parang ilang sandali nalang ay gusto niya na akong patayin mismo dito sa kinatatayuan ko. But it didn't bugged me at all, so I gave him what he wants. I crossed out my arms while looking at him.

"Scar, am I right?"Wala sa oras na napangisi ako nang marinig ko 'yon mula sa kaniya.

Should I be thankful that he's the only one who remembered my name, or not?

Tinaasan ko naman agad siya ng kilay at hinintay pa ang gusto niyang sabihin.

"Hindi na namin masisiguro ang kaligtasan ni Tita Avani pagkatapos ng nangyari. Those men absolutely want something from her, specifically to her family."

"...which means, this includes Axe."Tumingin ako kay Axe na seryoso nang nakikinig ngayon sa usapan naming dalawa.

"As far as I can remember, those men wants the Carters' family heirloom that will eventually pass down to Axe on his upcoming birthday. It is main reason why they ambushed Tita Avani, in the first place."

This is getting interesting.

I quickly reminisced the moment where I saw the target list of the Onyx. I almost smirk right in front of them when I already remembered who's next. Agad akong tumingin kay Axe na hanggang ngayon ay seryoso parin ang mukha na sobrang layo sa mukhang nakikita ko palagi sa kaniya.

So, you're the next heir of the Carters.

"Then? What do you want from me?"I stated.

Nakita ko naman na halos mapairap si Hue pagkatapos kong sabihin 'yon.

It's not like I said something wrong, right?

Napabuntong-hininga siya at tinignan ako na may nakakalokong ngiti.

"You're actually something, don't you think?"Impressive, I must say. It's actually obvious that he's mocking me. Ngumisi naman ako pabalik pagkatapos marinig ang sinabi niya.

"Should I take that as a compliment?"Then why don't we give him some of his medicine?

Ngumisi rin siya.

I gave him what he wants. Tinitigan ko siya, yung tipong sobrang lalim kulang nalang malunod siya sa kagagawan niya. I don't even know why the hell am I doing this with him.

Nagsasayang lang ako ng oras.

I gave him my last smirk, when I saw how he endured my stares and eventually gave up.

Inayos ko ang buhok ko at binigyan muna sila ng isang malamig na titig bago tuluyan nang umalis sa harapan nila.

"We need you."Bingo.

I gradually stopped from walking after hearing those words. Tumingin ulit ako sa kanila na may mga mukhang umaasa na sana ay pumayag ako sa gusto nila.

I raised my eyebrow at them. They eventually looked at each other.

"Axe is the next heir of the Carters and his life will be surely in danger together with Tita Avani. She said that she wants us to be alert."Kumunot ang noo ko.
