Angel Outside but Demon Inside

Rhiannon Dela Vega's Point Of View

Paggising ko hindi muna ako gumalaw para pakiramdaman ang paligid, ni hindi ko pa binubuksan ang mga talukap ng mata ko.

"Y-you're awake.." halos garalgal na boses ni Blaze ang narinig ko. Mariin kong ipinikit ang mga mata ko bago ko ito tuluyang binuksan at bumaling sa kanya. I still couldn't believe he knew everything all along. He knew he's the one we've been looking for. He's the lost heir, next to the throne.

Hinawakan ng nanginginig na kamay niya ang kamay ko. I know he's hurt and afraid I will get mad at him.

Yes, I feel hurt but who am I to hurt more than him?

He was abducted by my own mother, taken away from his family, had a rough and tough life because of my mother.

Nabigla siya sa pag-galaw ng kamay ko. His tears started falling and without any hesitation I reached his face and wiped his tears.

"I'm sorry.." was all I could say. Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko.

"That day, all I could think of is you. Everything didn't matter to me. I decided to forgive because I know it's the only way we could stay like this, the only way I can be with you." I sobbed.

"Why are you so stupid.." Ako nalang lagi iniisip mo..

"Dumb me, I fell inlove to someone so hard to reach." He looked at me. Seconds later he kissed me in the most passionate way.

"Rhia I heard you're--- awake.." Bigla akong napabitaw sa gulat nang pumasok si Drake, ngunit binawi kaagad ni Blaze ang ulo ko pabalik at muli niyang sinunggaban ang labi ko.

"Blaze." Napalitan ng lubos na hiya ang kaninang gulat ko. Boses iyon ng reyna. The Queen of the Den.

Agad silang nagyakapan bago lumapit ang Reyna saakin. The great Demonise Vizuelle. She held my hand at bahagyang nanginig pa ang kamay ko.

"Looks like you'll be part of the family either way, dalawang anak ko pa ata ang nagkakagusto sayo, iha. I knew I liked you since then." Nagulat at nagtaka ako sa mga binitawan niyang salita. She likes me? I am a walking image of betrayal because I know I have some of my mother's features. 

I must ask for her forgiveness.

"I'm sorry. I will accept whatever punishment you will give me. Forgive m--"

"Sorry to interrupt darling but I think you missed my point, I don't care if you are her daughter. I like you and my two sons are fighting over you, you are part of the family now. I will only give you one chance, I hope you will not betray me like what your mother did." I was speechless. Taliwas sa alam ng lahat na wala itong puso, siya na ata ang may pinakamalaking pusong nakilala ko. They don't hold grudges, that's not how a member of a big Mafia acts. Sa kalakaran ng mga Mafia, kahit ilang daang taon na a nakalipas, kung nakapatay ang miyembero ng pamilya mo ng miyembro ng pamilya ng kabilang Mafia, habambuhay binigyan mo na sila ng karapatang makilaban ng patayan sa kahit na sinong miyembro ng angkan mo. She is indeed a true Queen for accepting someone like me, a daughter of a traitor and her Archnemesis who took away her son.

Nage-empake na ang lahat sa pagbabalik sa Vizuelle University. Kamusta na kaya ang Section C? Dati gusto ko nalang magpagawa ng AI para malaman kung ano ang nangyayari sa mga tao dun, yung mala Rokos Basilisk na AI, a mindblowing one. Lahat akapaghanda na sa aming pagbabalik. Nakahilera ang dalawampung kotse na gagamitin namin sa pagbabalik ngunit sa kadahilanang ayaw namin ng attention ay magkakaiba ang lahat ng mga sasakyan. 

Lumisan ang lahat at kaming tatlo ni Blaze at Drake ang huling naiwang nakatayo sa harapan ng tatlong sasakyan. Mukhang mga taxi ang mga natirang sasakyan. 

"So what now?" Tanong ni Blaze.

"Race?" Sambit ko. Drake smirked. 

"Oh, what a nice day to be alive." Tawang sambit ni Blaze at nagpunta na sa sasakyan niya. 

"1, 2, get set... GO!"
