Chess Pieces #5: Loki Von Amstel

Chapter 32

My pieces have to make a move soon. They've been idling for so long and I'm getting tired and impatient while waiting. I can't do anything since that I'm here in the enemy's lair but I really, really want to know if they have a plan or not.

I'm not used to this, doing nothing and waiting for my chess pieces to move. It has always been me who's planning for the group and they'll be the one to do it for me. But now, kahit ang pagpaplano ay hindi ko magawa.

How could I make a plan for my chess pieces if I can't talk to them? Fuck it.

I will leave everything to King Lancer then. This is everything I didn't want to happen. To give King Lancer the reign and let him do the planning. But I will make sure that I will not bow down to him. He must be the one to do that instead.

I wonder if they already have a plan though. If so, then when are they planning to make a move? Naiinip na ako.

I really want to end this game soon.

I sighed. I don't think that they will move anytime soon. King Lancer is new to this. I think that he had never led a team before given that he's the Rook of EL Ordre. All he's been doing is to obey the orders from the King.

Should I make a plan on how to escape here then? I doubt if I ever succeed though. Kumpleto na yata ang lahat ng members ng EL Ordre that's in here at their hideout. And I'm their only captive. There's no way I can escape here.

Damn it! You need to make a move the soonest, King Lancer!

The door of my room opened and I couldn't help but to roll my eyes. Kilalang-kilala ko na kasi kung sino ang pumasok. First, he's the only one who's entering my room without knocking. Second, he's the only one who's always checking on me these past few days. And third, his familiar scent suddenly filled the room.

It was Loki.

I heard his footsteps before he came in my view. I just looked at him, deadpan. He stares down at me while I'm sitting here comfortably on the sofa. He looked so good with his maroon turtle neck longsleeve top and a black pants. I couldn't help but to eye him from head to toe.

Damn it. This man is totally attractive.

"What do you want?" I asked when he didn't say anything after a minute had passed. He sighed and I was surprised when he held a hand in front of me.

"Let's go. They want to talk to you."

"They?" I asked and he nodded.

"The whole EL Ordre."

That made me raise an eyebrow at him. What do they want though? After the brawl that I had with V, nobody, except for Loki, ever talked to me again. I bet they got really, really mad that I just hurt one of their female members. 'Cause apparently, they treated girls as a fragile thing.

What? Will they torture me because of what I did? I don't care though. V deserves it. She's the one who entered my room and provoke me like she knew me all her life when it was the only time that we have met. I will never feel guilty for fighting with her.

I heaved a deep sigh. Mag-isa akong tumayo mula sa sofa at hindi pinansin ang kamay ni Loki na nakalahad sa harapan ko. I walked my way towards the door. Nakasunod lang si Loki sa likuran ko.

Indeed. The moment I went to the living room, I saw the EL Ordre was there sitting on the sofa. They all looked at me when I got there and I just raised an eyebrow at them and sat on the only available one-seater sofa. I made myself comfortable and even crossed my legs together. They all looked at Loki as he stood beside me but they didn't say anything about that. I noticed Alter and her man were so focused on their laptop.
