"Zai, starting from now on Zenlhoir will live with us," Alexander, Zai's father said as he stand in front of her and beside him stood a boy that seems to be older than her for a few years. "Act properly." he added before leaving.
Naiwan naman ang dalawa sa sala. Zenlhoir stared at the young girl's emotionless eyes as she gaze into his. Zai tilted her head then turned her back but she gazed over her shoulder to him, "Make yourself comfortable." she said before walking away.
Nanatiling nakatitig si Zenlhoir sa likod nito. Hindi niya maiwasang mapansin kung gaano kaganda ang postura nito at sa tahimik na paglalakad nito ay nalaman na niyang agad may karanasan ito sa paglaban.
Inilipat naman niya ang kaniyang paningin sa kaniyang gilid kung saan nakita niya ang isang litrato ng pamilya na umampon sa kanya. Nakatayo roon ang lalaki na nagdala sa kaniya sa malaking bahay na ito habang nakaupo naman sa eleganteng upuan ang isang babae at nakaupo sa mga hita nito ang batang babae na kaniyang nakilala lamang kanina. Ang kaibahan lamang ay nakangiti ito sa litrato. But he's not even curious a single bit nor does he care.
Naglakad siya patungo sa direksyon kung saan naglakad ang babae. Napunta naman siya sa bakuran at nakita ang babae na nakatayo sa harap ng lamesa na puno ng iba't ibang klase ng baril. May hawak itong isang baril na nakatutok sa hugis tao na metal sa kalayuan.
Zenlhoir watched as she pull the trigger continuously. He looked at the target and saw that she kept on shooting the same spot, digging a hole through the metal target. It looked effortless as she do it.
Nang maubusan ito ng bala ay ibinaba nito ang baril at nilagyan ng panibagong magazine. Habang ginagawa niya ito ay nagsimula itong magsalita, "Where did you came from?"
Zenlhoir walked to where she is and stood beside her, "Nowhere. I'm just a stray until they offered a home for me in the lab."
Zai glanced at him from her peripheral vision. She heard about it. Her father was talking to an unknown man a month ago, discussing about this certain lab. She wasn't suppose to listen but her curiosity got the best of her when she heard something about Hevrions.
Apparently, there is a research lab that exist for the purpose of experimenting on Hevrions' genes. Kumukuha sila ng mga tao na walang koneksyon kahit kanino at tinatanong muna ito kung gusto nilang makisama sa eksperimento kapalit ng kahit na anong hiling nila. Of course, their role is to be the lab rat.
In that research lab, they inject substances with a Hevrion's blood mixed in to the specimen's bloodstream. Many were not compatible and resulted to a failure. With failure, it means the specimen died. For a 10-year old girl, she didn't quite understand what they're talking about. Why would they inject someone else's blood to another person?
Narinig rin niya ang kasunduan na kukunin ng kaniyang ama ang kauna-unahang eksperimento na nagkaroon ng improvement. A specimen survived and he was able to handle a Hevrion's unique genes. Pumayag naman ang lalaki sa gustong mangyari ng kaniyang ama dahil dugo rin naman nito ang ginamit para sa eksperimento at napapayag din ito kapalit ng malaking halaga ng pondo na ibibigay nito sa kanilang proyekto.
Zai squinted her eyes at the male beside her.
Ibinalik niya ang kaniyang paningin sa baril na nasa kaniyang hawak at inilapag ito sa lamesa. She slid the gun to Zenlhoir. Tumingin naman sa kaniyang direksyon ang lalaki bago ibinalik ang tingin sa baril na nasa kaniyang harapan.
