August's POV
"Auuuggguuuusssssstttt! Come along! This is a girl's night out! There are no boys involved. We should enjoy our last night of being free from the burden. As soon as our training starts, I don't think we can still have time to have fun." Misha's nanny to me she's already dressed to kill. Guess which party it will attend.Tomorrow is our rest day and I'm lazy. Last week, I spent my rest day with Reed and now, will it go out again? Do I have no hope of getting a good rest?"Mish... I'm lazy as in. I wanted to sleep." I said lazily as I plopped down on the sofa."August, just give it to me just now. You're not coming with us on our night out. Even just now, I promise I won't force you anymore." It's a snoring promise. "Then I'll give you free food for about one month."I looked up at this. "Really?" I asked more and got excited. That's also a cost reduction."Yes, just come along." It growled at me, still moving its shoulders."As long as the food is free for one month. My choice." My deal here."Yes, even at the most expensive restaurant." Accept it.I grinned. "Deal," I promised and stood up. I went to the bathroom to take a shower. It's just quick. After I showered, I just put on a pair of pants and a t-shirt and went out while combing my wet hair."No! No! No! You are not wearing that thing!" Misha suddenly screamed and he immediately pulled me back to my room suddenly he searched for clothes in my closet. Particularly with the clothes from my undercover mission. It's as if someone has already seen something before they made a choice. "You're wearing this because you won't be allowed into the club." This is my command.I gasped violently and took the clothes he took. It is a gold-glittered mini bondage dress and I immediately took off my clothes and put it on. I am not conscious of Misha. My hair was being dried immediately and I just let it hang down to my waist with my stretched hair.I winced when I put on the nude-colored pumps and Misha sprayed me with a perfume that was just in my drawer. She even put a little makeup on my face."Done," Misha said as if he was happy with my appearance. "Let's start this night with a bang." It promised with a smile and pulled me out of the condo.There was a taxi waiting for us so we immediately got in. Misha also told me where that club was because I didn't know where it was."Club Aphrodisiac, brother," Misha promised.I winced. Just the name, it seems like something bad is being planned. But usually, the names of clubs are really weird these days. I think it's popular right now.The trip was not that long and the taxi stopped in front of the club. People standing outside seem to be waiting. There are also two bouncers standing at the entrance. Misha and I immediately went down and I just held my breath because even outside, I could already smell the alcohol."Let's go!" Misha dragged me and the two bouncers immediately let us in. Misha knew the place because he knew exactly where we were going. Because if it is new here, as soon as we enter it will stop immediately and look around and observe. Misha is like that, so I know he's been here a few times too. "There!" Misha said he found what he was looking for.I immediately saw the people sitting who were becoming familiar to me. These are my high school friends of Misha who have also become my friends. It's been years since the last time I saw them. So we immediately approached there."Oh my god, is it August?" Bella asked in disbelief. "Hey, this is Bella. Maybe you don't know me anymore." It smiled and promised me. I want to wince. It still hasn't changed. Still a bit stupid."I know you, Bella, you still haven't changed." I just promised and smiled."Ohohoho! Am I still a baby face so that's why?" It seems like an amazing question to me.Where? I'm not talking about the face. "Ahahaha, maybe?" I just answered."Oh my god, I almost didn't recognize you. You change a lot." Danica commented that her eyebrows were now raised at me.Among Misha's friends, this is what I don't agree with. This girl has too many insecurities. I don't want to believe it, and it's too plastic to deal with."You haven't changed Danica," I promise here. I can spit fire on her. Who is this to scare me? I wrestle with death every day. Am I still afraid here? Her?"Ahahahahahaha, let's sit down August. I'm already crying." Suddenly, Misha's groin seemed to feel the tension between Danica and me.We sat down and immediately a waiter came to us and put a bottle of tequila with salt and lemon. I drank a shot. I don't just get drunk.Whatever they were talking about. I just silently observed the surroundings while I took shots. I can't count how many times I've winced because of the sourness of the lemon, but the longer it lasts, the more my tongue feels numb.I noticed that Misha, Bella, and Danica stood up. The two went to the dance floor first, looking like they were going to dance."August, let's dance." Misha is my nanny.I shook my head. "You know how I suck with dancing." I just answered.It's good that Misha didn't force me anymore. I just wanted to sit because I was tired. Misha is so happy-go-lucky that you would never suspect that he is a prickly hacker and undercover agent who is a member of the Delta Team in the Philippines. Who would have thought? Maybe everyone is thinking that we are either models or office girls."Hi, there beautiful!" Said a voice I didn't know."Fuck off." Right, I promise. I didn't come here to talk to random strangers. I didn't go here to hook up."Oh, shit." I listened to his promise but I didn't care even if he said I was a demon. I drank and drank. I can't even count how many times someone came up to me and I brushed them off.Can't they see that I don't want company? Or are they just stupid too? But I just held on to my senses when my eyes started spinning. I didn't notice anymore and I looked at the table I was really surprised to see that I had already finished three bottles of tequila.It's like now that my drunkenness is having an effect that I couldn't feel before. Why didn't I notice that I had already used up a lot? I just realized now that I'm sleepy and my vision is blurry. Fuck! I feel like I'm still peeing.So I slowly stood up but I almost fell to the floor. Fortunately, I was able to cling to the couch immediately. I feel like I'm spinning around now that I'm standing. I wanted to go back to sitting down but I was peeing, so I staggered toward the lady's room. I almost closed my eyes while walking.Going to the lady's room is a bit more difficult. I can't count how many times I bump into people I meet. I almost tripped. But I also reached. I immediately peed and even though I was drunk, I didn't forget the women's ritual. Wipe it clean here. I feel like I don't want to come out of CR. I feel like I want to sleep there, but that would be a big scandal. So I came out of the cubicle.I see women facing the mirror. I didn't walk at first because I thought I would fall if I did."Jusko girl!!! Did you see the new arrival? Oh my god, as in, I feel like my uterus has suddenly disappeared!" The woman excitedly promised that I don't know any of them."Yes, girl, I saw that! It's with them and they're handsome too! Jusko, why did I only see them now? Very handsome girl, nothing less, more than enough!" The person talking to him said it was a thrill."Looks like a new girl, so come on, let's seduce him. I wanted to ride and grind him all night."I flinched. I winced at what the woman said. Are women this aggressive these days? I don't even have that in my mind. It's just beautiful, it's like it's been replaced. What if they end up on Pandora? Ha! Maybe they will mourn and be buried because they have died.So out of my own accord I just walked out of the lady's room. I was terrified of the conversation between those two. I tried to blink to make my vision clear but it was still blurry. I'm sleepy. Until I walked, I couldn't do it anymore, so I fell.I was already biting my lips because I knew that my defeat would be painful. I couldn't control my body so I knew that I would fall painfully but I just opened my eyes when someone caught me. I felt arms locking me and stopping me from falling.Dark and gloomy. That's what I see. I don't know who caught me. I can only smell his scent. Somehow this smell brings back memories. This man who taught me has the same scent as him. I laughed out loud. Everything that has to do with him is what I remember. When will I be able to move on from this pestilent feeling?"Sorry.." I said and hurriedly straightened up but I fell again. I don't know but my knee suddenly got weak."You're drunk." It's a short promise. His voice rings a bell. But I must be just imagining things. Maybe this is the result of being drunk. I can smell and hear what I have long wanted to see but it is impossible. It was very impossible because he was in another world."Ani. Naneun Canada." I answer here. I want to pretend that I'm not pinay so that he can make me lose. No. I am not."Na hante geojismal hajima, kkoma agassi." He answered in fluent Korean hangul. His learning is the formal language just like mine. Don't lie to me, little girl."Huh? You're Korean?" I suddenly asked here while I was still clinging to it. I feel like I will fall if I don't do that."Hhmmmm... It's." It answered me.I just nodded. Maybe he is just a person who knows Korean because Korean traditions are really popular now. Even here in the Philippines, there are many Korean restaurants because of those KPOPs."I need to find my friend," I promised but I can't stand it properly anymore. "Shit, everything is spinning," I complain. "I want to go home," I said with a snort. I feel like crying, I can't stop myself. It seems like my emotions are unstable."Then, I'll take you home." He promised and guided me. It did a lot of support and it couldn't stand it anymore and it picked me up.I don't understand myself. I should be afraid because I don't know this person, but weirdly, I don't even feel fear. It's the opposite. I feel safe and I am freaking contemplating why. But I just let it go. I just wanna be with this man even now. His scent and his voice, I am longing for him.I just felt it put me in the car. I can't see everything because it's not that bright and my vision is still blurry. I also felt the other door close and the seat belt twists around me. I didn't speak anymore, my eyes are even half open.The car started and I didn't realize what happened. I just found myself entering a door. Is this a house? It doesn't smell like my condo so I know it's not my unit."W-where I aaam?" I asked slowly."My place." He replied that he was too confident. This accent and intonation, it is freaking me out because it's like Cayden's partner! So I looked at it and staggered closer to it.I am too close to him and I am trying to get a clear vision of his face, but the only thing I can see is his perfectly cut nose and lips. They look like him. It's scary.. but at the same time, I felt longing. "You...sound like him.......you smell like him..." I said and I think they are the same height but I am not sure because I can't see clearly. I traced my fingers from his forehead down to his nose, down to his lips. "Somehow........you kinda, look......like.......him......" I promised.I traced my lips with my tongue and bit my lower lip. I can hear some curses come out of his mouth until I find myself inside his arms and his lips locking mine. I froze and stilled. He felt the same and tasted the same. I just closed my eyes. Even now. I want to feel Cayden. Even now...I responded to his kiss. I nipped and licked. I tried to imitate him but he is just way too good. I almost run out of breath and I am panting. I know the whole room is air-conditioned but I feel like the whole area is on fire. My skin is like a burning paper and he is the fire. I just felt his hands caressing and squeezing my back. It seems to be looking for something I don't know what.His lips went from my jaws to my ears and he is licking and biting the earlobe that makes me shudder and purr. His lips went down to my neck and his left hand is starting to crawl from my side to my stomach, up to my chest. I gasped when I felt his hand cup my left breast and he squeezed it a little. An elicited moan escaped from my lips. I can hear my voice. I can't believe I have this kind of voice. I didn't know, I can make them.I felt cold in my body and now his bare hands are touching my skin. I didn't realize that it had removed my clothes and even my bra. Suddenly he just loaded me and in a matter of seconds, I felt the soft mattress of his bed. His smell lingers on the bed as well. He leaned over me and he started kissing me senselessly again. His hands are everywhere, touching and feeling in every possible way. My reasoning went away. What I felt right now is what matters. I like this feeling. I feel like something is building up in my stomach that I can't stop.His kiss lowered down to my neck and down to my chest. He started licking my peaks and sucking them alternately. His expert hands and too good at squeezing both of them. All I did was pant and moan. There is only one man right now in my head that I am seeing.He left my chest and his kisses trailed down below. He is licking my belly button and I felt him pull my underwear down. It was like I was suddenly embarrassed so I immediately folded my legs and my hands are desperately looking for something to cover."No. They are beautiful." It promised. I stopped. His voice makes me calm down. I didn't move anymore. I trained my eyes on him but still, he is blurred.I just closed my eyes when I felt him open both of my thighs and felt his lips there. I felt his kiss, his tongue tracing the slit. I'm restless. I turned my head, left and right and he was still doing it. I felt like something was about to burst. He kept on licking and sucking me down there. Until the feeling burst into spasms.I closed my eyes. I am now in the sea of ecstasy. This feeling is new to me, but they don't feel bad at all. They don't.August's POVI'm still very sleepy. I can feel the splitting headache because of my drunkenness last night. I savor the feeling of comfort with the bed and blanket. It felt warm, but somehow it has a strange smell. It doesn't smell like my bed. So I slowly opened my eyes. My eyes meet the black ceiling.Black? Since when did my bedroom ceiling turn black? I even look at the blanket and strangely, it's black. So I immediately got up and looked around. This is freaking not my room. I was about to stand up when I felt I don't have any clothes so I peeked under the blanket.Shock flooded my system. How come I don't have any clothes? I tried to recall what happened last night and flashes of memories came in. I met a guy that I don't even know and went here... and we......... I covered my mouth. I clearly remembered what happened! But I am not sure if it happened all the way. My memory ends there, after that overwhelming feeling, aside from that I don't remember anything."Fuck!" I cursed a
August's POVI packed my clothes. We are temporarily not accepting assignments right now due to the training that will happen in Batanes. Yes, you read it right. The location of our training is in Batanes. Heck, there are many nearby places to train, even in areas that seem to be out of the Philippines. This city is already near china and japan. Just a little tumbling. But what is my right to complain? It was the admin who chose the location so that foreigners can also visit the Philippines.I left the condo. We picked up a service van because we were going to Clark International Airport. Our departure airport is there and we still have to travel there. There is a private plane waiting for us there. They said they could not risk buying tickets and putting our identities. So we have a private jet, courtesy of the CIA United States. It's just wealth, isn't it? I have never known anyone who owns a private jet. Even the rich people I hear about use the airline, not a private jet. I think
August's POVWe arrived in Batanes and a 20-seater van picked us up. It's a bit bigger than the average Van I see traveling around. So we ride all together in one vehicle. We just stopped over at a restaurant there to have breakfast but at the same time, we enjoyed our eyes with the view. Almost everything is green. The houses there are made of rocks and we can see people walking down the streets wearing a wig that is made of hay. I don't know why they are wearing those stuff, but I think I can't do that because it's itchy.We are now standing in front of the Fundacion Pacita. This is a restaurant here in Basco, Batanes. I'm just now thinking about ordering. Reed will take care of my bill hahaha. It's always like that. I'm just a food addict. I also like it because it's too free. I'm angry because it's money."Let's get inside." He promised to pick us up. His name is Polo. He is the person assigned to take care of us since we are all new to this city."God, it's so hot in here," Scarl
August's POVWe stared blankly at the CIA property. Who would have thought it would be this beautiful? It is a mansion with colorful flowers around with tulips that I didn't know that tulips live there. There are even roses as well. The mansion is so grandiose that I feel small if I enter it. It is too much for my liking."August, is this training or are we going on vacation?" Misha asked me gaping. Misha is rich, but their house is not as rich as this one."Let's go inside," Reed said the mansion didn't seem surprised at all. Even Draco and Marcus seem normal to them."Nice." Scarlet just said.We started walking in and some Americans in tuxedos greeted us. They ushered us inside and they even had headsets communicating with each of the members. They are security. Secret agents with guards, where are you?We all have one room. The rooms are not that big, but they still, it is luxurious. This is indeed the training house because there are many rooms. I think it can cater to fifty gues
August's POVI just woke up almost screaming because I didn't immediately recognize the room, but I suddenly remembered that we were in Batanes now so I suddenly felt relief. I still had a bit of trauma because of what happened when I was drunk. Waking up in a different room freaks the hell out of me.I got up and went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. I immediately made my hair a messy bun because it was messy and I was too lazy to comb it. I went to the window of my room and looked outside. It seems that people don't visit this part, especially the part of the ocean where I can't see any islands. I can see an endless ocean.I felt like the ocean was calling me so I opened my suitcase and got a two-piece red string bikini. I'm used to wearing it because of my job, I've worn it almost all the time. So I immediately changed and put on a t-shirt that was one to half of my thigh long. It's Reed's and he lent it to me and I never returned it hahaha.I left the room and d
August's POVI just ignored the evil looks that Scarlet was throwing at me. No one has yet died from the evil eye. He might even get sore eyes because of what he does. We are here again in the training room and there are different guns on the long table. There are snipers, M16, shotguns, and caliber 45 pistols. Draco said we're going to do disarming. They wanted to see how fast we are to disassemble a gun.I just looked at the guns. This is not new to me because it is one of the training at PMA and it was not easy because the grade depends on whether you can pass or not. I am confident that I can do it easily."Disassemble the caliber .45 in 30 seconds," Marcus promised. I raised my brow. 30 seconds is long. We can do all that so it won't be difficult. "Ready.........go!" Give it a signal.We immediately took action and estimated the time so we were able to disassemble the pistol just in time. This is so no challenge at all, isn't there anything more difficult here?"Easy," Misha said
August's POVOur training ended yesterday peacefully but something is wrong with Reed and Draco. They seem to be off, like something is stirring between the two. Even though it was noticeable, we didn't dig further because I didn't want to get involved in whatever the issue was between the two. My life is already messed up, I will add more.Now we are outside in front of the obstacle course. There are wheel tires that I feel are the size of a ten-wheeler truck and it has metal on them. There are ropes attached to it. There are even rope ladders, stone walls, mud paths, and flying logs that you have to dodge.I am not surprised by this because we have experienced this before. Draco said a few days' starts of training is the basic so that our muscles don't get surprised. Because they say after the basics it won't be easy.I lost some of Draco. I don't know, I don't know how it disappeared, I just noticed that my shame disappeared. I didn't know that the only medicine is to face the pers
August's POV"Draco, we need you outside!" Scarlet gasped as she suddenly entered the training room.I turned around here and her eyes are throwing daggers with Draco's hand on my hand and it returned to me the look that you are missing, a black aura is about to appear in its body. So he's still mad at me now? You see I'm in a bind, it's still my fault."What is the meaning of this?" She asked while heaving. She looks displeased at what she sees."Wait for me outside," Draco said that he didn't answer Scarlet's person. "You're punishment is over. You can eat the food." It said and released me and it left in front of me.I was left stranded. What the fuck is happening? I already have doubts. I have a strong feeling that something is wrong with Draco. I am having a suspicion that he is Cayden, but there are thoughts as well denying those facts. So I'm even more confused. The way he is acting is Cayden. He won't act like that because we made out right? He just saw me at a bar and the cul
Cayden's POVI immediately ran fast when I saw King Laurent heading towards August to stab him. I knew I could reach it so I immediately hugged August and tried to teleport but I just heard a growl from behind me. I stopped and could not move immediately."Pity, you saved your ............love, while he saved his love. My death is not for nothing after all. I may be dead, but still....... ...... I............won." I heard King Laurent promise in a weak voice. I heard that someone fell and someone followed."August!" Gen. screamed in disgust. I saw that Gen tried to run but Lucas stopped him.My body suddenly felt cold. Something suddenly entered my mind and I was filled with fear when I did not see him in Gen's group."Oh my god..." August also gasped, now looking behind me.I couldn't stop myself and immediately turned to see what was happening. Horror filled my body when I saw August..... my August..... the sword was stuck in his stomach to his back. I felt like the world suddenly s
August's POVI was terrified as I looked at the towering entrance of the Academy. A deafening sound was coming from here because of the loud banging of the orcs. I don't know what they use to do that. Wood or their body itself? I do not know."The barrier won't last if they keep bumping," Kaye said the worry on his face was obvious."I know. No matter how strong the foundation is, it can still be torn apart by desperate orcs." I said that there was a lot of tension. That's right, what's the difference between beautiful and desperate flirting? hahaBut before the others could react, the barrier suddenly rattled and creaked loudly as it fell and created a deafening noise and thick dust.I closed my eyes because I almost fell asleep. Angel Grace immediately intervened and created a shield so that we would not continue to be hit by the sleeping dust because the orcs might attack while we were closing our eyes. Maybe we will lose right away from the start of the match.I slowly opened my e
August's POVI try to avoid them all. I stayed in my room or I went out and hung out in every part of the Academy. Library in the corner of the laboratory or the maze garden. I also take out food. I don't want to eat in the pantry because I will only see them there too. I am also eating in the room.I am now in my room. I plan to go to the library. There is no class. I just thank you. I need to check some books in the restricted section. I have access to that because I'm an Elite. Weird, I still have the position even though the real August is back. But what is his right? I was the one who earned this position and he was not. I defeated Venna with my skill so he has no right to do this to me, I will hit his face.I left the room and unfortunately they were all downstairs as if they were waiting for someone. I walked held high but I wasn't looking at them. They sounded so happy and I was irritated because of that."August, we have a mission. Let's go." Franco's voice said.I do not car
August's POVI'm making my bed because now I can get out of the hospital. I still felt sullen that Gen didn't even visit. How busy are they? I didn't even hear any news from them. Or maybe because I am useless to them since I got injured. That thought makes me sad."August! The Elites are home!" Alice screamed rushing into the room.I smiled here. I did not feel any excitement at all because the sullenness was more dominant."Okay." I just answered here and fixed myself. Sometimes this Alice is also insensitive.Alice noticed that I was not in the mood so she didn't sculpt me. She's the only one who stayed by my side when I needed help. I don't remember anyone who went to visit me or even said hello if I was okay or if I was still alive. And now, she's saying they are back. I completely understand that they went on a mission but why do I still feel this way? I tried to shrug it off from my mind and started to think positively. Maybe this is just an effect of my near-death experience.
August's POV"Misha! Is this true? I'm back?" I can hardly believe the question. As far as I remember, I was still in Pandora and wounded."Yes, August... good and you're back. We've been looking for you for a long time." Misha started crying."I'm sorry, I didn't know that I was going to be taken to another planet," I said with a snort. But to be honest, I'm happy because I'm finally home. I don't belong there anyway."I wish you took me with you! Do you know how hard life is here without you? I can hardly leave the house. Gangsters are waiting outside the school because they are looking for you. Even your underlings, another group." It's a complaint again."Tss, yes. But did I know that I was going to go there? If only I had known, I wouldn't have told you to have a picnic there." I promise I'm pissed off here.I'm jealous that I can go home. I just didn't think I was back home. I thought, I will die there in Tierrabithea Tribe but it seems not because here I am, alive and well."Bu
August's POVMy surroundings almost beat our school grounds because of the cleanliness. I'm not even sure what's going to happen, as long as I'm hot-headed I want to step on it so I piled my annoyance on the dry leaves and kicked them.My anger has gathered. First, doing a mission without any concrete plans. Second, we are looking for something that we don't even have any idea what it is. There are no even clues, no evidence gathered. Then I'm the type of person who will rush if there is information gathered. Do you think I won't explode? How many times have I complained inside my brain? I tried not to complain because I know that they have their way but it was just too much. We still beat the newbies.I looked at the relatively small trees compared to the others. What happened to them? Why did they fall? I tried to remember if it had fallen before I arrived. But I really can't imagine! I'm not sure. But maybe it fell before I came because I didn't come near them."When can I go home?
August's POVI didn't know how I was able to sleep last night. Last night was a nightmare. We didn't do anything but just sit and wait for those ghosts to fade away and their screeching scream is nerve-wracking. I bet, I already have another set of bags under my eyes.I came out of the tent and I saw everyone how busy they were. But I was stopped by the wild grumbling in my stomach. That's right, I couldn't even eat last night even though I was hungry. Who would feel hungry if you are surrounded by ghosts? There was food but I couldn't force myself to eat. It's hard for me. My fear of ghosts is way more than my hunger.Suddenly my mouth watered when I smelled grilled fish. I immediately followed the smell as if my feet had a mind of their own and my instinct knew where the smell was coming from. And there I saw my group they are in a circle and grilling with a man-made bonfire."Hey, it's good that you're awake. This is almost done and we can eat." Gen. happily promised.I snorted. "I
August's POVThe ringing that we heard disappeared when we reached what looked like a stone ruin with vines. But we hardly moved at the same time when someone focused on our eyes. Immediately we saw the tribes with black faces. Is the clay mask a trend for them? But it can't be a clay mask because I know it's not. It's like slapping their face with a caldera's ass."Foreigners! What's your purpose and have you strayed into our territory?!" Boldly asked a big man who was just carrying a spear and if any wrong move we would make, he would throw the spear at us.I can't speak! I seem to be stoned to where I stand. We might be strong be we are outnumbered. I am hesitating if I have to move or not. But I was about to move and jump when someone stopped me. I immediately turned around and immediately saw Cayden looking at me and he shook his head a little, giving me a signal not to do whatever I am planning to do.I gritted my teeth. We are obviously in a very dangerous situation. Those like
August's POVWe just looked at the river. He is not ordinary in my eyes. It's not red, but there's a lot of fog on top of it and I don't know why it's like that. It's also wide, the river seems to be half a kilometer wide before the other side."Are you serious Lucas that there is no bridge here?" Angel Grace asked in disbelief."Roooooooooo!" Fyro is second."Watch this," Lucas said and he put his hand on the ground suddenly some vines collided and he started to cross the river that was forming a bridge but before he could stop, the bridge suddenly broke and turned to ashes! What the fuck?!"Shit, what? Is that a joke?" Jules asked in surprise."Red River nullifies all magic that comes across it," Franco answered here.I raised my eyebrows. "So how do we cross?" I asked. I still thought there was a bridge because there was a river, right? I didn't think it would be that many tricks."Simple, we'll just fly," Clint said immediately and it immediately jumped up and started flying."Wai
