Chapter 40: A Killer

last update Last Updated: 2022-05-31 09:21:12

*Three Years Ago

I gasp for air as I got up from sleep. Around me were pieces of furniture, the ceiling and the walls were painted deep blue. My eyes roamed all over the place and a heap of fear and panic arose inside of me.

There was nothing in my head but questions and scruples.

What happened to me?

Where am I?

Who am I?

“Miss Adri—Sir Jarred!!!”

My eyes widened in fusing terror and agony when a woman suddenly yelled as soon as the door flung open. She quickly ran away and a few minutes later, she came back with a man beside her.

His hair was tainted blue on its tips and was messily brushed up. His eyes were copper brown and his nose was convex straight.

I closed my eyes and tried to remember who I am and who this is, but there is nothing that I see. I don’t recall anything. I cannot understand myself. What happened to me?

“Adri?” the man uttered. Extending his arms trying to touch my shoulders but I quickly bac

    “Where are you going?” I clutched the last buckle on the satchel before I turned to brother. “To mission,” my mouth simply answered and hung the bag on my back. “The kid would stay imprisoned to where I am. And its your thing to do what’s supposed to be played on that Alderhaw.” I was about to walk away past him but stopped when he grabbed my left arm.“Tell me what you remember, Adri. I can help you figure out what it is,” brother blurted. My head dropped down as my eyes closed. It’s not that I don’t trust him but… there is something in me that’s stopping my mouth from telling him what I remember. And I can’t see what&rs

    “What’s your name?” I asked the boy after several minutes passed and he was off from crying. We remained sitting under the lush tree and I carry him in my arms. I couldn’t help but adore this child so much. Maybe because I didn’t have the chance to see my child grow. Brother said my child died due to miscarriage when the Alderhaws attacked our camps three years ago.“Keith Zaeliel,” he happily answered. His smile didn’t leave his face since a while ago. Until now, he’s still jolly and upbeat. Did he just forget he’s lost?“Where are your parents?” the next thing I asked

Just basing on the voice and tone, there’s no doubt its brother. Eager for a bed time story.“What part?” I spouted, returning a question with a frank straight tone.“The exciting part, perhaps?” he answered, pulling the chair parallel to mine and sat down taking the bottle of wine. “I mean… I want to know what matters you do now remember. Maybe I can help you, Adri.”“The sunset looks delicate here. What do you think, brother?” &nb

For example, your mate. That Alderhaw,” Jarred uttered, walking on my side with his hands inside his pockets.“Where are we?” I heard him snicker. “Shadowstone pack. Years ago, when our mother was to give birth. Want to see her?” Filled with questions and doubts, I nodded. Whether Jarred&r

It’s almost midday as I have promised Keith. The forest was quiet and lucid as usual. By far I have not seen anything suspicious as is. I was about to lunge down when a tiny voice caught my ears.“Mommy?” A little boy wearing a simple brown shirt and loose blue pants was running towards the tree I’m on. His dark hair tainted red on its tips looks like a fireball dashing if I am to see his head only. I quickly leaped to meet him and a wide smile crept on his face

    “Who are you?” His terrorizing tone sends chills on my spine, adding his piercing killer eyes that slay with just a single stare. His hand wrapped around my neck stiffened that I hardly breathe and all I could do was push his hand away. He’s killing me. Is this the way he usually asks? Or perhaps, a start of his interrogation?“Answer me!” Zaetron growled and his grip tightens, making me gasp and wheeze. Stupid! How would I answer if he’s not letting me go!“Daddy, please don’t hurt mommy!” I heard Keith scream and saw him run towards the man’s legs and wrapped his tiny arms around Zaetron’s leg. “Daddy, I don’t want her to leave us again,” he muttered with his voice cracking. Even if I can’t see him clearly, I know his eyes were now starting to wail up. His voice was pleading, begging… Unexpectedly, hastily as a dash of the wind, I found myself falling down from his grip.

    “Hakbang, alisto!” Yells the highest guard personnel in full authority, raising his riffle with its chamber on his shoulder level. He stood in the hold, full of power and control over all the high-skilled patrols. He wears this suit of blue and a red sash-like crossing over his shoulder and on it pinned different crests that, perhaps, represent the high rank he’s in.“Saje, shuwa, taddo!” With the count of the high guard, the terrifying banging of the drums filled the wide court hall. The drum was made out of vertically narrow lengths of wood with a slightly beveled edge to form its torso. Animal skin, probably, is stretched over the torso and was tightened with a rope.

    “No.” I step back away from her. “I got what you need.

Between the two of us, you need help more than I do.” Her hand moved and stroked the air, delivering a swift wind that immediately snatched the thing out of my grip.“Your mother… has agreed to this when she left for that man.” The moon goddess treaded, closing our distance. She lifted her hand and brushed my cheek with the back of her fingers. “You are a child of

    “The sea will not leave and it will not be the last moment we could watch the sunrise together.”“This time you’re not just an imagination anymore. I see you alive and breathing, Soleil.” I tightly closed my eyes and shook my head multiple times hearing those words on repeat inside my head. Not getting my sight off the thing in my hands, I clutched it tighter. The old brown paper and the ancient letterings imprinted on it. The engraved figure of a dragon crossing the crescent moon clasping the rolled paper in place, the emblem of Nightshade. I finally got the venturi scroll. The reason I sneaked in the headquarters of
