Midnight Angels: The War

Chapter 39

'Letters'

"You wanna say that again?" Xy asked, red aura started radiating from his body as he slowly approached Wesy. Lezo scanned him. "So, this was the result of the one thing that Zeus and Hades approved on?" Isip niya habang nakatingin siya kay Xy.

Wesy grinned.

"Alright, alright. Easy, Wen." Aniya habang nakangiting nakatingin kay Xy.

"I'm messing with you." Aniya pero lumapit na si Ash sa kanya. Before Ash could even lay a hand on him, Wesy spoke.

"You know, I'm one of the creatures inside Zia's circle now, right? Put a mark on me and she will never come back. Mark my words." Dahil dito ay naiurong ni Ash ang kamay niya at sinuntok nalang ang pader. Wesy smiled again, looking back at Xy.

"Of course, she'll be back. Pero parang alanganin, Xy." Mapanuksong sabi ni Wesy at tsaka tiningnan sina Lucas at Blu dun sa fountain. He also spared a glance at Audin.

"If your team keeps fighting each other like this, baka ayaw na nga niyang bumalik. Alam naman nating lahat na ayaw na ayaw ni Zia ng gulo diba?" Nakangiting tanong ni Wesy, provoking and taunting the team.

"At isa pa, she's enjoying her time at the kingdom right now. Peace and serenity." Sabay na ngumiti sina Lezo at Lesis sa sinabi ni Wesy at tsaka tiningnan ang team. They were all provoked at halatang isang salita pa ni Wesy ay susugot na sila.

Hinawakan na ni Lezo ang balikat ni Wesy.

"Wes, tara na." Aniya at hinigpitan pa ang pagkakahawak sa balikat ni Wesy.

"Hindi, walang aalis hangga't hindi ko nalalaman kung nasaan ang pinsan ko." Ani Wilder at nilapitan sina Wesy.

"You kids don't really have patience, huh?" Tanong ni Wesy at tsaka tiningnan si Xy na walang nagawa at sinapo nalang ang mukha tsaka huminga ng malalim. Xy gripped the letter tightly in his hand and ushered Wilder to the side.

"Tama na." Suway niya rito. "Pero, Xy! Zia's been missing for a month. Hindi ka ba nagtataka kung nasan na siya? Hindi ka ba naaawa kay Tita Xin—"

"What did Tito Jayden tell us, huh Wilder? Trust, Zia. Simpleng bagay lang hindi natin magawa?" Sumbat ni Xy dahilan para matigilan si Wilder at naikuyom rin ang kamao niya. Wilder bit his lip and then looked away, pissed to the core.

Umangat ang gilid ng labi ni Wesy at nagsimula nang maglakad palayo.

The team gave way to them and Wesy spared a glance at Archer. "Hang in there." Aniya na nagpakunot ng noo ni Archer. Habang naglalakad naman sila ay saglit na tinapik ni Lesis ang balikat ni Lezo. "Bakit?" Tanong nito.

Lesis secretly pointed at Blu's direction.

"He looks familiar." Ani Lesis.

"Gago, si Blu 'yan. 'Yung palaging nasa sketchpad ni Zia." Sagot naman ni Lezo at napatango nalang si Lesis pero tiningnan parin ng maigi si Blu. "Parang pamilyar talaga." Isip niya na parang nabasa naman ng kambal.

Hinila nalang siya ni Lezo at tsaka na sila umalis sa UHT.

When Wesy and the twins left, pinabalik na ng mga professors ang mga estudyante sa mga classroom nila at naglakad naman sina Xy papunta sa fountain kung saan nandun parin sina Lucas. Lucas swept his wet hair back and licked his lips, glaring at Blu who was already standing up from the fountain.
