I STARED at the small house in front of me. Small and made of concrete, obviously abandoned by its owner. It took us days before we finally found this place.
"This is where they resided before the killing," said Matias on my side.
"Kill! Kill!" Vivi, using his shrill voice, now on my shoulder.
Matias opened the door and let me inside first. We already knew what to do when our eyes met, I nodded and headed inside.
What flashed before me was a mess of things that were all around the house. The house had only one room. He immediately went and inspected what was inside. I quietly waited for him to come out while I wandered my eyes at the surroundings. People who have been here were obviously in a haste, in search of something.
Moments later, Matias came out holding a red cloth. I observed it when he handed it to me and saw the name embroidered in it. It did not surprise me even a bit.
"It was her," I said.
"Now, we have another
"Do not dare go near me," I said, my voice laced with threat but he did not mind it. He continued to approach me with that hideous grin of his and it grew wider. Seemingly to tease me because of the way I reacted to his doings."Why? I just wanted to hold this lady who made a fool out of me the last time. Distracting me with that charm of yours to get my purse full of gold coins.""I am in no way responsible for you being bewitched by my charm," I snorted, still taking steps backward to avoid him when he tried to get a hold of my face. My eyes sharpened. In fact, this man right here is very handsome, has a charming face and his smile is seductive but I do not fall for that. It seems that it was not effective on me."I said do not dare go near me!" I said, annoyed. Using my brute force, I pushed him causing him to be sent flying for some distance.The attention of the many passersby got caught when they saw him fall and heard a loud thud on the ground. The
"DID YOU stole a kiss from him too the reason why he is pursuing you?" be said that made my forehead crease."I did not steal a kiss from him. He is the one who wants it from me," I said defending myself. Did he think that I would just kiss anybody who wasavailable? What a scum! He is the first and last person whom I stole a kiss from but I will never ever let him know about that. I must keep my head high.My eyes grew wide when he welcomed me with a heated kiss on the lips. I put my hand on his wide chest to push him but my body is a traitor. I liked the way this man kissed me if I am to be honest. Long, exciting and carnal. That is how he kissed me. The way I almost chased his lips every time it ended gave me an unknown feeling within me. After the long and deep kiss, with our foreheads leaning on each other, I blew deep breaths. Gasps of air while looking at his alluring lips.'Is it not that the other day you are hesitating about his feelings for you b
I WAS just staring at the shining moon above. Weeks from now and it will be full, the time when we will do our plan, attacking the auction hall in Farianio. I was seated on one of the logs. Silence filled the night. People in our hideout are preparing to sleep now that the night is getting deeper as moments pass by. The wind blew so cold that I started to hug myself. I just sigh before I stand and decide to just call it a night too and sleep.I was walking through the dark part of the path. I got halted when I heard a voice coming from a nearby spot. I cannot hear what she was talking about but I am sure that was her voice I can hear."Adrina?" I called as I approached the spot. With the help of the moon's light, I saw her standing there with a blank expression on her face, holding a piece of an unknown black flower. A kind I have never seen in my entire life."Where did you get that?" I asked as I heightened my senses, feeling some presence nearby.
"WHO WAS that?" Matias said when he reached me. "What happened?""Another visitor tonight," I said as my jaw tightened."A visitor?"I averted my glare at him. "From now on, there will be someone who will guard every night in this place. Make sure that this incident will never happen again in the future. I do not want any visit at this godly hour of the day," I said and turned my back at him.If only he woke and went to me earlier, we would have captured that man. He will always come whenever he is not needed."Is it not the only one you fought? Who sent them?" he asked while tailing me.I quickly turned to him and glared, again. "Tell me, who did they come here for, Matias? This never happened in the past because they are all afraid to be here. Who are they after they have been brazen to send men here?" I sarcastically said.He stopped for a moment and realized the answer for his question. "The two kids.""Adrina," I sai
When I shifted my attention to Castor, he was now standing near the table and holding the candle flame remover. Using his power, he transformed it into a sword. I smiled at my new discovery. So he can change the shape of anything he holds? Interesting."I did not fancy the gift that you have rewarded me that is why I ended up here personally to tell you," I said."What are you saying?! How can I do that when I do not even know your identity?" he said, wondering as he charged an attack on me.I quickly dodged it and said, "You are so slow, Castor " mocking him. That caused him to get angry and charged again, blindly.All I do is dodge all of his attacks until he gets tired. I can feel Evina trying to use her powers again so I spinned quickly. I intentionally got my sword to hit the only candle lit on the room before it slashed her in the arms.Based on their reaction, there are seemingly other persons involved in giving us visitors in the midd
I HALTED scooping water on the creek and looked into the part of the woodswhere trees are all full when I sensed someone looking at me. I put the jar down and went there.My brows furrowed when I found a familiar horse. It took me another step to find who the owner is. I did not expect to see anyone here at this time of the day. He had his grip unto the lead of the horse, seemingly to place it there at the tree.His lop-sided grin greeted me with utmost enthusiasm while he bathed in the shock expression on my face. I eyed him from head to toe to make sure I was seeing it correctly and that was really him, in front of me. I cannot escape feeling attracted to his looks and charm, his posture and everything, as if feeling bewitched.When I regained my senses, I approached him and hit him in the chest."What are you doing here?" I asked, nervously eyeing the surroundings for any presence. I was relieved when I got none so I returned my eye to him.
I put the jar next to the other jars nearby and then went to the armory, inspecting it. She followed me and got a sword from there, not minding how heavy the blade she chose. "You are the one who is most skilled when it comes to battling using a blade, teach me," she said, commanding. She tried to swing the blade upward but it did not reach that high. She only knew how to arch a bow because that is the only weapon Hamil taught her to use before he left for a mission. I know that she is too young to even hold a sword and that is not appropriate as her height and weight is still not improving as of now. She is not even on a level with the other children here at her age. I got the hilt from her grip and brought it back to where she got it. I gently held both of his hands and stared at
I STOPPED in front of the palace when I saw him going out from the high gates. His eyes immediately met mine so I smiled at him sweetly. He flinched a little when he realized that he was seeing me. Perhaps that I have done a better job at making myself more pretty than my usual.I spinned a couple of times for him to see my whole being. I do not have a cloak that covers me and I fixed my hair. I even have a flower ornament on my ear.He speedily went to me and held both of my cheeks, landing a quick peck on my lips. My face seems to have been heated because of what he did in front of the other creatures that are lurking outside the palace."You are so beautiful. I apologize for not being able to help myself not to kiss you." He inched again his face on mine but I backed away.
