Chapter 20: Gone Wrong

CHAPTER 20
Gone Wrong

"That guy is fucking irritating as hell!" inis kong sigaw at padabog na lumabas ng kwarto.

Nandito kami ngayon sa hideout, nagbabangayan. My wounds were treated because of Elena's ability, pero hindi pa rin maalis sa utak ko ang sinabi ng Raven na 'yun.

I'll have you, just watch.

I am not into his shits, I want him gone!

Napatingin ako sa likuran nang bumukas ang pintuan ng kwarto at may humawak sa pala-pulsuhan ko. Kaagad kong sinamaan ng tingin si Aries kaya napabitaw siya sa akin.

"Artemis, your wounds are not yet fully healed," nag-aalalang sabi ni Aries, dahilan para mapataas ang kilay ko.

"It is," matigas kong sabi at naglakad, pero bigla akong tumigil nang may sumagi sa isipan ko. A smirked suddenly curved in my lips.

"Aries, I have a request." Nanatili siyang tahimik habang hinihintay ang sasabihin ko.

"I am aware that you already know Raven. I want everyone to beat him so bad until I can't see him anymore," malamig kong utos habang may ngisi sa aking labi. That guy must know his boundaries after messing up my fight. I clenched my fists so hard before facing Aries.

"That is an order," I said with authority.

"Understood," sagot niya at tumalikod sa akin para pumasok sa kwarto.

I trust my members at alam kong hindi sila papalpak. They are twelve and Raven is just one. All of my members were high-rated ability users and I stood as their leader because of my capabilities.

Na-master ko ang abilities ko simula bata pa lang ako. I can possess a person with no time limit. But while I am possessing another person, my abilities are still present because they're mine. I can also use the abilities of the person I possess. It's dangerous, right?

But the real danger is about my real body. Attackers can easily harm me. I can immobilize a person permanently too, and that will be my advantage. In short, I always have the upper-hand.

Ilang beses na akong muntikang mahuli ng mga pulis, pero palagi kong kasama ang gang para makatakas... o lumaban.

We just beat them half-dead, but we don't intend to kill. But then I have one weakness, and it's power negation. It doesn't allow me to use any kind of abilities, but my special ability can conquer it. Seismic burst, but it consumes half of my energy kaya bihira ko lang itong ginagamit. It allows me to easily escape or break free from my enemies.

"Fucking dumbass! Natalo kayo ng isa? Bullshit!" I cursed angrily and violently threw the flower vase on the floor.

I quickly shattered into pieces and scratched my shoulder. I was fuming mad while gritting my teeth. Hindi ko inaasahang ganito ang dadatnan ko sa aming hideout. This is absurd! Hindi pa natatapos ang klase namin nila Primo at Elena nang mabalitaan kong nabugbog ang mga kasamahan ko kaya nag-cutting kaming tatlo para makarating dito.

After I put my trust in them, this is all I'll receive? Humiliation by a single person who appeared out of nowhere?!

I can feel my blood boiling already! Wala pang nakakatalo sa amin kahit isang daan pa sila, at hinding-hindi pa ito nangyayari. This is our first defeat, at parang nadungisan ang pangalan ko nang malaman ito. My pride feels like shattered.

I punched the concrete wall while looking at my members. I opened my palm and saw my nails imprinted on it. I never knew that I clenched my fists so hard. All I can feel is anger and hatred to Raven, nothing less.
