Crescent Moon: The Peculiars [MOON SERIES #1]

CHAPTER 21

Section 21

The bond that lies within

-

We were attacked by Alexis' groupmates when we were in our most vulnerable state.

All of us were caught off guard when Alexis struck her light beam on the ground that created a huge impact, which made all of us taken away.

Every one of us was just trying to get a hold of ourselves after the impact, but when we were about to plan our escape, their team did not give us the chance to do so.

"Let's have some fun, and let's kill the hell of them!" Alexis shouted.

With her voice, she was able to command the two of her subordinates that listen very well to her request.

It is visible that they were more connected to each other than the five of us at that time.

"Bilisan ninyo at iwasan ninyo ang mga atake nila!" bulyaw ni Calix sa aming lahat upang marinig namin at magising na kami sa pagkaka-paralisa.

"Dali!" dagdag niya. "Gumising kayo!" sigaw ni Calix.

Nanlaki ang aming mga mata nang aming mapansin na malapit na asa amin ang malaki at nakakatakot na atake nilang tatlong nasa ere nang mga oras na iyon.

Tumakbo ako papunta sa malaking puno nang aking maisip na baka kaya nitong sanggahan ang maaaring maging malakas na impact ng sabog mula sa kanilang tatlo.

Nakita ko naman ang iba sa aking mga ka-grupo. Si Lilac ay kinuha ang katawan ni Dementia na nakasabit sa itaas ng malaking puno.

Samantalang sila Calix at Charles naman ay agad na nagtungo sa ibabang bahagi ng gubat.

Tamang-tama lamang ang aming mga galaw dahil doon ay walang nasaktan sa aming lima. "Ayos lang ba kayo?" tanong ko.

Napanatag ang kalooban ko nang malaman kong ayos lang kaming lima at walang lubhang naapektuhan sa amin.

"Oo!" tugon sa akin ni Lilac na kasama si Dementia sa tabi niya.

"We're alright here too!" Calix answered me.

"What are five of you going to do now?" a male voice asked a question. That man that spoke is belittling the five of us from the tone of his voice, and the expression he has on his face.

Palihim akong sumilip upang tignan ang itsura ng lalaking nagsalita kanina. Nakita ko na ang lalaking iyon ay ang isa sa mga lalaking pinagtawanan ako noong matapilok ako sa harapan ni Usher.

Is he an acquaintance of him?

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang kaya niyang gawin at kung ano ang kapanyarihan ng lalaking iyon pati nang kasama niya pang isang lalaki na may katangkaran at may birth mark sa kanang braso.

"Lilac!" I called her.

"Who are those guys?" I asked.

"The guy that spoke just now is Forth and Lucas is the other one," Lilac answered. "Do you already have an idea what their peculiarities are?" she asked.

I remembered them from Lilac last night. Forth is the guy who breathes ice, with the presence of humidity and oxygen, he can do whatever he wants.

Lucas, on the other hand, can shoot a laser from his eyes. Alexis really was in luck. She can handle the two of them and use their teamwork in greater heights.

"Yes, thank you Lilac."

"Come out everybody!" Forth searched for us.

"This ain't fun without getting hurt, am I right?" his murderous laughter was heard by the five of us.
