I choked and Mom quickly handed me the juice.
"Better?" Mom asked and I nodded
I turned to my handsome father.
"Why asked that, Dad?"
He chuckled and innocently looked at me.
"What? What's wrong with my question?"
I rolled my eyes.
"So, what is it? Did someone flirt with you?" He asked again
"It's my first day and I already have a lover." I smirked in response
"I'm sure our son is in trouble there. Look at her. Oh! She's so beautiful just like me." Mom said with pure adoration in her eyes
"Are you going to combine our race. Of course that's the result of what we have formed." Smiling said dad
"Dad!"
He just laughed at me as well as Mom.
Errr ---
"Eh you, son? Did you like anything there?" Dad asked with a smile
A smile slowly crept from my lips.
Then his handsome face flashed in my mind.
I remember that they took us to the parking lot earlier. He wanted to see us went home safe. Maybe that group was waiting for me.
'Take care, Nhiana.'
His voice echoed in my mind.
It was thrilling when he uttered my name.
That was the first.
"Oh my .... sweetie ..." mom seemed to be crying
"Yes, mom?" I asked
"Look at you.You look like a crazy girl who just fell in love."
I felt myself.
I'm smiling from ear to ear.My hands are on my hair, messing it.
I shyly gazed at dad who's grinning.
"I declare! You're in love." He said
"Dad! That's just an infatuation.He's freaking handsome so it's natural for me to be infatuated." I defended
"Ows? You've met and dated a lot of handsome men.And I've never seen you like this."
"That's why I'm still feeling it. I'll know how far 'to. I'm sure this won't last longer just like the previous one."
They raised eyebrows and examined me and later shrugged at the same time.
We continue from eating and finished it with laughters.
"We're leaving, sweetie." Mom said
I sighed.
They have a lot of things to do that's why they can't stay longer in the mansion.
"Where?"
"Back to America."
I smiled.
I understand them.Our life is far from being an ordinary.We have our different world.
"I'm sorry, sweetie. We will leave you again." Full of sadness he said
I hugged her tightly and gently caressed her back.
"It's fine, mom. I understand. You also need to leave for your safety. We can't stay in one place at this situation."
She cupped my face and planted a soft kiss on my forehead.
"I'm sorry we put you into this."
I sighed.
"Mom, I chose this.I decided to take this path.It's not your fault nor dad.Just go safely.I'll take you to the airport."
She blew a loud breath and nodded.
**********
"You'll stay longer there than before, right mom?" I asked
We were already in front of the private plane they were boarding.
"Yes, sweetie." A tear fell from her eyes and I immediately wiped it with my thumb.
I hate seeing my mom cry.She's strong more than anyone else.
"That's good, then."
I'd rather choose to be apart from them just to make sure that they're safe than being close to me knowing that there's danger by my side.
"Send my regards to my brothers, mom.Tell them I miss them."
I tried to held back my tears.
"Come on, son."
She kissed my forehead again before she climbed to the stairs of the private airplane.
Dad supports it.
Dad waved and gave me a flying kiss.
I watched them as they went inside until they were out of my sight.
I watched the plane fly through the air and it was only then that the tears I had been holding back fell.
Now, I'm alone again.
It will be a few more years before I see them.
I wiped away the tears and gasped.
I missed them right away.
They came home from another country with me the other day and now they are leaving.
Everything will be back to it's place if everything will be over.
When I got out of the airport I gasped again.
I look up to the sky and saw the glimmering stars.
"If my life could glimmered just like them." I murmured
I was about to get in the car of someone who felt like watching me.
I heave a sigh.
I looked around to see if there was a car coming before going to the coffeehouse across the street.
The coffeehouse is opened for 24/7.
"Good evening, Miss." All those who work here greeted me
I nodded and smiled at them.
My two brothers owned this coffeehouse and since they're not here, I was the one left. But I seldom came here.
I just walked straight. The door chime of the coffeehouse rang one after another and I knew if they were still following me.
I went through the back door and when I turned around they were still gone, I turned and leaned against the wall.
I heard their footsteps coming on my way.
"Where's that?"
"Shit! You can't let go."
"Fools! Let's find out!"
Their footsteps got closer and closer until they passed me.
"Who are you looking for?"
They stilled.
There are only three of them but their bodies are large.
When they recovered from the shock, they grinned.
"You're back, A." said one smiling
"Obviously. That's why you're following me now."
"Your tongue is still sharp, A." said another
Pure one. I don't know them.
"Yeah. It's even sharper." I said smiling as it made me cringe
"Stay there! Take it to the dying boss!" Said another
I smiled then it turned into a smirked.
"Bring it on, boys."
They attacked me at the same time with their knives. I bent down and kicked one of them in the knee so it backed away.
'Be strong, boy.'
The other one tried to stabbed me but I dodge it and caught his wrist.I twisted his wrist that made him winced.
I kicked his chest so he lay down and vomited blood.
I recovered from the kick in the knee so they attacked the one I didn't hit at the same time.
They cut my face with a knife at the same time but I bent down and punched them in the stomach at the same time so they were slightly pushed back.
Before they could catch up, I ran between us and flew into the air and kicked them hard in the chest.
Like the other, they were also bleeding.
"Woah. OA niyo naman. Umubo ng dugo agad eh sipa lang yun. Tsk!"
I picked up the knife in front of me.
I felt my first kick to the chest move and before it could move I threw the knife at him.
'Boom sapol!'
"AHH!" He shouted as he stabbed her in the hand which was about to reach for his knife
"Tss. We have a plan to throw at me."
"You still haven't changed, A." said one on the side with difficulty
I smiled.
"Yeah. It's still good."
Its mouth tightened.
"They'll hunt you, A. You will never escape." Said another
I laughed as in laughter. If I could just roll on the ground I would have done it but of course I don't want to lose my poise so hold my stomach first.
Tearful eyes I turned to him.
"Seriously? Am I the one you're scaring? Have you forgotten the consequences of trying to harm me?"
They bled when they heard the last thing I said.
"Oh..it looks like you forgot it."
"H-We're not afraid of you. That's why we formed a group to oppose you. We want the power, A. And we'll get it no matter what." Said one with a mark on his hand
I shrugged.
"Okay then.Suit yourselves.I'll let you go away this time.But the next time we meet again, I'll show you my way of killing animals."
Her POV
"I'm back ..."
I heard the other line gasped.
(What ?! For real ?!)
"Yes.And I'll be there in a minute.I have something to discuss."
Before she could respond, I ended the call.
I put the cellphone down on my bed and approached the frame displayed on the wall. In the frame, it looks like an endless corridor.
I turned it upside down and slowly opened the secret door on my bedroom wall.
When I entered, the sight of different kinds of weapons and guns welcomed me. Others were hanging on the wall, contained in a glass box and in the closet.
"Whew ..." I whistled in astonishment.
I opened another seven which exposed me to the favorites I wear on t'wing I have a walk.
"Damn! I miss my babies!"
I picked up my black leather jacket, black tube, black silky jeans and black leather boots.Oh yes! I'm obsessed with black.
I put them on one by one and combed my hair.
I went over to the weapon room and decided not to bring anything.
"Just next time."
I went out and flipped the frame again.
I watched the wall as it slowly closed.
"Oh, where are you wandering, son? It's late." Asked Manang Julia, the butler of the mansion.
"I'm going to meet my friends, Manang.Don't worry, I'll be back exactly at ten." I gave her an assuring smile.
She stared at me, like examining me.
"Oh okay. Just ten o'clock huh?"
I nodded and innocently smiled.
"Oh he is. Be careful. You're so beautiful that the rioters in the corner might beat you up."
"I can handle my self, Manang."
I smiled at it before exiting and heading to the back of the mansion.
I cut through the thick vines that covered my path.
When I removed them, the wooden door was exposed to me. The old one was obvious here.
"It's been a long time, my friend."
Smiling I pushed open the door and my eyes lit up when I saw the different types of my motor and car.
"WOOHH!" I shouted
No one can hear me 'cause I'm at the very back of the mansion.
It's been a few years since I left these. And now, I'm freaking back!
"Did you miss me, Baby N?" I hugged my Ninja Motor question
"Of course, you did! You want to unwind with me? Yes oh yes? Yes! Let's go!"
I climbed up on it and grinned.
"WOH!"
I looked at my other pets.
"Next time I'll use you. For now, we're Baby N.Bye first!"
I started the engine and slowly drove.
I locked the door and returned the vines.
I quickly ran the motor out of the mansion.
"WOOHHH !!" I shouted with both of my hands on the air.
There were no people on the road so I shouted freely.
I looked to the side and saw a petron.
"You must be hungry.Come on.I'll feed you."
"Manong, full tank please." I said smiling and immediately complied
I gave him a one thousand cash and let him kept the change.
Within just 5 minutes, I reached my destination.
I inserted the motor inside the warehouse.
This place is far from the people. There are only trees around.
"A!"
I was greeted by more than twenty colleagues.
The joy of seeing me again was in their eyes.
"I'm back!"
"What's with the face?" I asked them, frowning
They look stunned.
"Awful! We never met you, A! You look more beautiful than before!" It was Zohan who recovered first.
"Wow! Is it possible to be so beautiful? I mean..I thought nothing could make your face more beautiful then." It was Chrysler who spoke.
I can see everyone's amusement while looking at me.But that's not what I came here for.
"Enough with the compliments.Save it for later.For now, I have something to discuss.Where's the others?"
"In the basement, as usual." The client answered
I headed to the basement that was underground perched.
Zohan approached the stone wall and pressed something against it.
The ground opened and a stair welcomed my sight.
Klien went down first.
I looked around and still nothing changed around.There are a lot of machines.Computers.
And the people didn't change as well.Always busy with their tasks.
"Everyone! Mates!" Zohan shouted that caught everyone's attention.
"Give respect to A! For she is back!"
I heard some gasps.
I smiled at them that made them stunned.
"Mates!" Zohan shouted again and everyone immediately bowed
"Welcome back, A!" The excitement was obvious in their voices
"Thank you." I uttered
"You look more beautiful than before, A."
"I think I just saw an angel."
I heard many more compliments from them but again, I'm not here for that.
"Listen ..." I said softly as they fell silent
"I was attacked." I said as they sighed again
"What ?! What group, A?" Miles asked in shock
"When?" Chrysler asked
"Earlier. When I delivered them mom and dad. Thankfully, they didn't see my parents."
"Are you pissed?" Chester asked examining my body
"Creature like them can't harm me without bullets on their heads."
He sighed in relief.
"They are from Black Blood Gang.I saw their tattoos."
"And they really dared to fight you. What do you want us to do to them?" Klien asked.
"Let's hunt them.That would be fun." Miles said in excitement
The others grinned.
"No." I said
I could see the astonishment in their eyes but no words came out of their mouths.
"Zohan, Chester and Klien."
"Yes?" They asked
"Watch their moves. Report to me all the activities they do. Don't do anything that is out of my command. Understood?"
"Yes, A!"
"Good.Now that I'm back, prepare my place."
"Should we inform the other organizations, A?" Chrysler asked
"No. Let them know for themselves. This way I will know what they are doing with the knowledge I don't have."
His POV
"Mom, is he okay?"
"Yes, he is."
"Tsk. He's not, mom. It's unusual for him to be like that. Earlier he was quiet."
"Aren't you used to it? He's always like that."
"Oh come on, mom. He's different from his usual self. It's just like that now. We've been talking for a while and you know he doesn't want to be noisy. I hope he didn't hit us earlier."
"Mmm ... you're right. Even her sucking is very slow."
"The depth of thinking."
"Dig in case you get there."
"It's just you, mom. Maybe when I get to the bottom, he's already waiting for me with the devil's fork."
"HAHAHAHA!!"
"What are you laughing at?" I asked my mom and sister crookedly
"I told you, mom." My sister mumbled then ate
I shook my head and looked back at my plate.
I've been thinking lately. But I don't know what I'm thinking. I just look like an idiot.
"Aish!" I angrily dropped the spoon and fork on the table
"Ravienne!" My dad shouted
I bowed.
"I'm sorry." I just said and continued eating
"What's wrong with you?" He asked
"Nothing."
"Is it because of earlier, son?" Mom asked
I looked up at it.
"What earlier?"
"I heard what happened in the cafe."
I shook my head.
"That was nothing, mom.I'm not thinking about that."
I didn't think of that.
"What's wrong, bro?" My sister asked
I shook.
"Nothing. I also don't know what I'm thinking. I think I'm just tired."
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk ... Mom, dad? My brother is slowly becoming abnormal."
Annoyed, I looked at my brother.
"What ?!"
She sticks her tounge out.
"Just rest after dinner, son." Dad said that I responded with a nod
"Where's Reid, by the way?" I asked referring to my little brother
"He's sleeping.He got tired from his class that got sleep after we came home." Mom replied
I didn't speak anymore. I just let them go on and on.
I was the first to stand up to them.
I went upstairs straight to my bedroom and leapt in.
I stared at the ceiling and an innocent angelic face appeared.
I closed my eyes tightly and opened it again.
But she's still there.Dang!
'You're so handsome.'
Her pure and soft voice echoed in my mind.
I get up and get annoyed that my hair is messed up.
That three words! Those fucking three words made my mind went blank.Shit! How could she had that impact on me?
"Argh !!" I angrily ruffled my hair before going to bed.
I stared at the ceiling again and there was his smiling face again.
She's so innocent.She's so beautiful.I've never seen such beauty before.
"Nhiana Quiza ..." I murmured
'Why am I feeling this towards you?'
I have an idea but my system can't absorb it.
"Nhiana Quiza ..."
Slowly, darkness invade my whole and even in my dreams, I saw her goddess-like face.
