CHAPTER 38
Tragedy

Raven's Point of View

"Bago ka ba sa lugar na 'to?" A random guy asked me. I remained silent and passed by him.

I don't have time to talk with strangers.

"Sumagot ka, bata!" he shouted, which made me stop. I looked at him and he looked really pissed right now.

"What if I am?" tipid kong sagot at tinago sa bulsa ang magkabila kong kamay. I ignored him and ate a gum while walking. Too damn dark, saan ko ba siya mahahanap?

"Bastos ka, ah?!" Natigilan ako sa paglalakad nang marinig ko ang mabilis niyang yapak kaya tumabi ako sa gilid. His fists were about to punch me and his eyes were too fiery.

"Ang tapang mo!" sabi niya at napangisi ako nang aktong susugod nanaman siya saakin. I used my ability and stepped aside. He looked dumbfounded right now while looking around, probably looking for me. Well, my ability is invisibility so he can't see me.

"Nasaan ka?!" aniya at umatras ako saka malakas itong sinapak sa mukha. He flew few meters away from me so I walked to see him. He looked terrified right now so I chuckled.

"S-Spectre... Sino ka?!" I brushed my hair up using my fingers and looked at him blankly.

"Do you know someone named Artemis?" tanong ko at biglang nagbago ang kanyang mukha. He looked more terrified when I said her name. She really is something, huh.

"Y-Y-Yung l-leader ng Black Rose?" he stuttered many times and I guess he was really scared just by hearing her name. Just like what I've expected, she's the Queen in this town.

I just wanted to see who's stronger than us since I've destroyed many gangs already on my own.

"Yeah?" I chuckled and smirked at him playfully while waiting for more answers.

"Nasaan siya?" tanong ko at umiling-iling ito. He's sweating furiously while his hands are trembling because of fear.

"M-Monarch High..." he answered so I smirked and left him there, alone. I enrolled in that school and someone already recognized me. I hate attention from other people and I focused on finding Artemis.

"H-Hi! Single ka po?" A girl asked me and her friend beside her giggled.

"I don't know," wala sa sariling sagot ko at nilampasan ito. Damn, I can't find her everywhere in this huge campus. I tried my best to find her but I can't see any trace of her.

I decided to find the rooftop where I always find peace in my life, but there I saw her with two people beside her. Her eyes looked shocked when she saw me.

Tumigil ang paghinga ko habang pinagmamasdan ang itsura niya. So this girl is Artemis, huh? She looked like an innocent girl and I am wondering why people fear this girl. I bit my lip when my heart suddenly raced for no damn reason so I ended up slamming the door while holding my chest.

I was on my way home to see my dad but I saw her walking into a strange direction. Her face is so covered, but I still managed to recognize her. Napakunot ang noo ko nang makitang papunta siya sa isang warehouse. That's a dangerous place to be alone. Kusa ko siyang sinundan at pinanood sa malayo.

I stopped when I saw her entered the warehouse. I wanted to stop her but it's too late, napalibutan na kaagad siya ng mga kalalakihan na may hawak na mga baseball bats. They're too many to fight this girl but that's what I thought when I saw her fight them alone.

She's barely breathing while she's trying to flee away since her abilities were temporary nullified. Mabilis akong pumasok sa warehouse at isa isang pinatumba ang mga lalaking humahabol sa kanya.
