-Haxielle-
"What happened, Carter?" Tanong ko dito. Mukhang napansin niya ako kaya bumagal ang paglakad nito.
He ruffled his hair bago niya ako sinagot.
"A freakin' murder happen. Rumors said it's Grim's doing." We stopped at the when we reach the end of hall way.
Nice.
The man was hunged in the ceiling. Fresh blood is streaming down its open abdomen. I used his blood to paint my mark on the wall.
Halos masuka ang ibang kababaihan. Vissy was holding her mouth.
Hexton picked up my letter.
"I killed one of the morning-murderers before he kill me, enjoy!" Sabi nito at nilukot ang papel.
Huy! Sayang yan ganda pa naman ng handwriting ko.
"Check the CCTV." Utos ni Ash kay Elijah. Umiling lang si Elijah.
"I've check it earlier pero walang nangyari. The clip was edited and there's a virus on the tape." He sadly said. Nice, shot. Haha!
Lumapit si Vissy na iniiwasan tumingin sa bangkay.
"The victim's record says he killed 5 students during morning and I think he tried to target the real Grim. I can say it's act of defending itself." Vissy stated. Napatingin siya sa bangkay kaya mabuwal ito.
"Then bakit hindi nalang niya i-knockout? Hindi pinatay pa." Elijah said eating something.
"It's his own way, I think. It might be because that student nearly kill him." Opinion ko sa kanya. Tumango siya doon bilang pagsang-ayon.
"Student council! Tulong! M-may nakita akong bangkay doon." Hingal na sabi ng isang lalaki at tinuturo ang isang classroom.
Oh well, hindi na ako ang gumawa niyan.
"Sino na naman ngayon?" Hexton annoyingly said. Pinuntahan namin ang classroom na iyon kung saan may nakahiga na babae at nakatusok sa kanya ang mga ballpen sa kanya.
I'm gonna say, I am not really that one.
"Whose ballpen are those?" Tanong ko sa lalaki kanina. Biglang sumulpot naman ang mga estudyante ng classroom na ito.
"It's all ours. Lahat ng student sa classroom na ito sa amin yan. Nawawala ballpen namin eh. Hehe." The girl said showing it's pencil case. Pambura lang ang natira dito at sharpener.
Naks. Sarap gayahin ng killer na to ah.
"President, I found the mark of rebels." Carter suddenly said habang pinapakita ang kamay ng babae na may sunog na balat na itsurang pusa. Leon, tiger or what?
"What rebel?" Sulpot ni Remi sa tabi ko. She's wearing her sleeping mask at hawak nito ang chicken na stuff toy.
"What are you wearing, Remi?" Looking at her situation right now.
"Why Axel? Natulog ako kanina pagkatapos kumain. Ginising nalang ako ni Kamie dahil daw may ginawa si 'Grim' na kalokohan." She emphasize my name. I just roll my eyes to her.
"Rebel, tinatawag sila na 'Lino King Gang' they oppose every rule here. Marami sila at di namin ma-track kaya nahihirapan kami. May nahuhuli na kami but they use to refuse any of our questions o di kaya minsan pinapasabog nila sarili nila." Paliwanag ni Hexton.
Ahh... ganon ba? I bet kung di nila papasabugin sarili nila babarilin naman sila sa ulo.
"Clean the classroom." Utos ni Ash. Pumasok naman ang mga taong may hazmat suit at nilinis an lugar. Oh, nice gusto ko rin magutos niyan.
"President, pinapatawag kayo ng headmaster." Isang lalaking may salamin ang pumasok. Agad naman kaming pumunta sa office ni Hector.
Pagkabukad palang ay bumungad si Hector doon na naglalaro ng chess mag-isa?
"What are you doing, tanda? Nasira na ba utak mo?" Tanong ko dito. Tumawa lang ito at binigay ang envelope ng bagong mission. Assasination? Ang dali naman.
We are sent again on a mission and successfully finished it. Ginawa akong pain nila para magawa iyon. Ganda ng welcome sa akin.
Pasalamat kayo magaling ako umarte. Plus, they left me alone pagkatapos. So ako bahala na lumayas walang hiya talaga.
I just realized something there too. Pwede pala gawing letters yung password sa safe. Nilagay ko doon yung binaliktad nito na olleh.
At bumukas...
Another note from the same one.
Hide your identity, and it will be the secret. Someone will find out soon, my other half. Now make your SECOND move. They may
all catch you but I will be the one to kill you.Bo̵͓o̷̪̖k͚̬ ̯9̣̼̭͝9͎̙̺9͉̰̲͝,̵ ̶̨́4̝͉5̸̙, ̷̠̬̜P͏҉̢2̖̻͜ͅ3̭

It is some kind of coordination? Haha! Ako papatayin? Ang less nga ng threat mo sa akin. 'Di man lang ako natakot.
Then kung gusto mo, I challenge you, Depise!
An unexpected arrow hit my arms. Sinamaan ko ng tingin ung bintanang naka bukas. Nakagay doon ang pangalan ni Despise. Grabe naman! Magka-kascar ako na naman ako eh.
SOMEONE FROM LINO KING GANG
"We have an evidence that Grim has an heir." Pinakita nito ang picture ng isang mafia pendant na suot ng hindi kilala kung babae o lalaki.
"Keep the informations coming. We need to use he/she para mapabagsak ang company ng Grim. Get your best to get a sample of that heir she/he got the drug that we need." Yumuko lang ang informant upang magbigay galang at umalis.
Your time is running out, Grim.
I will take everything you've loved. I will get revenge I needed as you destroyed my whole life.
Better hide Grim. I will soon make you pay for your doings and also your family's.

=Ash="Yow, we are being summoned by Master Hector." Elijah showed up with his girl. "Mission na naman?" Reklamo ni Carter."Let's go." I stand up and lead the way. Naabutan namin sila Vissy at Haxielle na nagkwekwentuhan.Nagtama ang mga mata namin and we just exchanged glares. I know this is bad, but I am getting suspicious of her.She's way too mysterious than I expected."What's up kids?" Hector happily greeted us. Haxielle rolled her eyes while Carter is clinging silently in her neck. These two...They are closer than I expected."What's our mission today?" I asked Hector whose in a prince outfit and dancing waltz.He made a turn and handed me the information.
I stare at my reflection in the mirror. My brown wig is covering my silver hair. I put my hazel contact lenses. "Room Cleaning." Kumunot ang noo ko sa taong nasa labas. Pinagbuksan ko ito ng pinto at pumasok. Napasimangot ako ng namukhaan ito. He is wearing a mustache with matching grey color on his hair making him look older."Hector, what do you need?" Huminto ito ng marinig nito ang pangalan. Agad itong tumingin sa akin at ngumiti."Halata ba?" He asked at nagpa-ikot sa kwarto ko. I walk towards the bed at humiga doon.Nang matapos ito mangalikot ay humarap na ito sa akin at nagbigay galang."Milady, your father wants to have a word." He reached me a phone and close every curtains."Lo? What do you want, Dad?" Bungad ko dito. I heard him chuckled and the sound of classic
-Haxielle-"Woah! Mas gumanda na yung Wizzard Kingdom. Axel, samahan mo ako sa Big Top." Yaya ni Remi na nagmumukhang bata. "Wait, what? We are going to ride that monstrous ride? No way." Mabilis na umayaw si Vissy. Remi rolled her eye to Vissy. "Then go to your lame carousel, bitch." Pagtataray ni Remi dito. They exchange their deadly glares at sabay na umirap.These two..."Huy! Doon tayo sa may bilihan ng headband bili." Carter excitedly said at hinila ako papunta doon. Naki-akbay si Elijah sa akin dahilan upang muntikan na akong masubsob."Let's go my brother!" Elijah exclaimed dragging me between them.Save me..
-Haxielle- "That's the thing coconut man. You didn't invite me for a party." I annoyingly said.They all put their guns out at tinapat ito sa akin. I raised my hands up, laughing at the situation. "Hey, hey... I come to take your lives here. Let's start?"I asked. The other guys fire a bullet at me. I move my waist a bit at lumagpas ito sa akin. Boring... I shot my bullet in his abdomen. He immediately back up at napasandal sa kasama nito. "He started it." I pointed out sa lalaking nagdurugo ang ts
-Haxielle-"Lunar eclipse is near. Sabi daw nila eto yung pinakamalapit na makikita natin ngayon." I heard the girl clinging on her best friend said. Ilang beses ko narin naririnig ang bagay na yan.I am sick of hearing that because me. Pinanganak ako mismo sa kalagitnaan nito. Which is I don't know if lucky or not?Pagkapasok ko palang ng room ay agad kong napansin ang nakabusangot na mukha ni Yuki.What happen to him? Umupo ako ng hindi ito pinapansin. Nilingon ko siya and he was still there frowning because of something.
-Haxielle-"Ano ba talaga pakay mo dito, insan?" Tanong nito sa akin. Hindi ako sumagot. Tumayo lang ako at tahimik na tinitignan nito."Nothing, my Dad sent me here because he wanted to," I plainly answered. Mukhang 'di ito nagustuhan sagot ko. But that's the truth. "Then what are you doing dressing up as Grim? You know it's danger for you to do something like that." He knows. Napa-mewang ako sa kanya at sinagot ito. "Then what are you doing as 5th here? Are nuts? Di mo pa sinabi sa akin lahat then we are same. You didn't tell me about 5th and I didn't tell you about Grim. At kung nag-alala ka na baka malaman nila it means you don't trust me,
-Haxielle- "So how did you know the two?" Nagulat si Remi sa biglang sulpot ni Vissy. Carter is there na parang wala lang sa kanya ang nangyayari. Nagkatinginan muna kami ni Remi bago sumagot. "Were friends since kids with Carter." Remi answered. Vissy awed ng malaman niya. "So you guys are kinda like childhood friends. That's so lucky of you!" She clapped in excitement. "Ang swerte naman non. You guys are definitely close since kids." I can hear jealousy in her voice. Hinampas ito ni Vissy at tumawa.
-Haxielle-"Good morning, Haxielle." Napadilat ako sa boses ng dating. It's Kamie she's wearing a sweater at the top of her uniform. "Are you tired?" Kamie asks sitting on a chair comfortably then continuing what she's reading. I shortly reply a hum. My eyes open when Elijah slammed the door and rush towards us. Bigla itong umupo kaya nasagi niya si Vissy. Napadaing naman ng braso si Vissy at hinampas si Elijah. "Baliw! Ang sakit," "I'm so excited this night!" Elijah shrieks sounded like a girl. Napanganga naman si Vissy dahil parang bakla siya ngayon. Narinig ko ang pagtawa
-EPILOGUE-°■Current Location■°Philippine National Airport=-=-=-=7:30 am11 years later... "Asher nasaan ka na ba?!" I fix my shades walking. Napakapit ako sa passport ko dahil baka mahulog. That mission really give my back too much pain. "I'm at the airport kakalabas ko lang." Sagot ko kay Vissy na tumatawag sa akin. I heard someone grab the phone to hers at sumagot. "Oy Asher kapag hindi ka pa namin nakita mauuna na kami doon! Si Jiah nagkukulit na." Paalala n
-Yuki-One month later..."Woah... after a month comeback na ni Asher ito ah." I coldly look at Elijah walking towards me. Vissy beside her poke his sides at sinamaan ng tingin. Someone tap my shoulder at lumingon ako sa kanya. It's Hexton."You good bro?" Tanong nito sa akin. I let out a deep sigh at humarap sa kaniya. Hindi pa sila hihinto? "Yeah, I am." "It's been months isn't it?" He look at me habang naglalakad. The hallway looks normal now... it's better hindi katulad noong nangyari sa unang linggo. "Since she died. It must
-Yuki Asher-Tahimik sila habang naghihintay ako ng sagot. I glanced once again to Haxielle at mariin itong umiling. Napakagat ako ng aking labi sa kakaisip. "Time is running up, iho." He tap the buttons continously halatang naiinip na ito. "I choose... Mr. Hades." Lumaki ang ngiti nito at pinindot ang button na para sa lalagyan ni Sir Hades, pagkatapos ay hinagis niya at at sumabog ang susi. Unti-unting bumukas ang lalagyan nito at nakalabas si Mr. Hades agad niyang sinubukan ilabas ang anak niya ngunit ayaw.
-Haxielle-Sinulyapan ko sila muli sa kani-kanilang pwesto habang ako ay nakatayo sa gitna. Dala-dala ko ang nag-iisa kong katana. Dahan-dahan akong bumaba sa lupa dahil kung susuriin ay maari itong bumigay ng mabilis. "Ervex is on position Nemesis." She communicated. "Can you see the kids? Elijah and Min." Tanong ko habang nakakapit sa putol na sangay at lumundag papunta sa isa. I think I'm rock climbing- but downwards. "I'm still searching for it ngayon maraming bantay akong nakikita at mukhang may ginagawa tauhan nila." Elijah said I can hear him tapping the keyboard
-Haxielle-"Let's fight together." Pag-uulit ko sa aking sinabi. Hinawakan ni Ash ang kamay ko at pinabayaan ko lang. "So... are you guys- may comeback na ganon?" Tanong ni Remi na nanonood sa amin. Binitawan ko ang kamay ni Ash at lumapit sa kanila. "No. There's no comeback- everything will start to zero." Sinulyapan ko si Asher. Alam kong gusto niyang tumanggi doon pero mukhang naiintindihan naman niya. "Did Min send you the location here?" Tanong ko at saktong sumulyap si Min dala-dala ang mga kinakain. "Nope. Wala akong sinend sa kanila." Pagtanggi niya sabay subo ng free
-Haxielle-"Gaano pa tayo kalayo?" Wang asked Min at agad na kinalikot niya ang location. "About 3 kilometers wala pa akong nakikitang radar sa paligid it's still safe." Sagot niya at kumuha ng bubblegum at ngumuya. "Have you sent it to them?" Tanong ko at inayos ang suot ng shades. Tumango naman ito at pinakita ang file na nakasend sa computer ni Elijah.Napahawak kami sa upuan ng biglang umikot ang sasakyan natin. Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Min at tinignan si Wang."Report.""Sorry, Nemesis. May biglang naghagis ng mga pako sa daan." He grab a gun at tinignan ang bintana.Sabay kaming napayuko ng may tumagos na baril doon."I thought you choose a bulletproof car
-Haxielle-I lean my head on the drive wheel. Ilang beses ko itong inuntog habang inaalala ang ginagawa ko. It's been three days- since sinaktan ko sila at iniwan. I regret everything but it doesn't matter anymore. Nagulat ako ng biglang may kumatok salamin at nakita ko doon si Min na nagiintay. Binaba ko ang bintana at sumandal sa kotse. "What?""It's been 20 mins mommy since you park your car here at naandito ako para ticketan ka dahil antagal mo." Pabirong sabi niya sa akin at naglabas ng papel at nagsulat ng kung ano-ano doon kunyare.
-Haxielle-"Why the hell did you do that, Haxielle?!" "Dahil ba iyon ang plano mo?! Then you are so selfish, Axel! Andami mo ng nasasaktan! It's been a week since Asher last wake up. Hindi ka ba naawa?" I continued to keep silent habang sinisigawan ako ni Remi dito halatang dismayado siya sa ginawa ko. "Awa? Kailan pa ako nagkaroon ng awa? And it's your fault kung bakit ka nasasaktan. I always remind you to never love me, never care for me." She let out a breathe at napahawak sa sentido nito. Tumayo ako at aalis na sana sa kwarto ng pinigilan ni Hexton ang kamay ko at hinila papunta sa gilid ng silid. "Then answ
-Haxielle-"Ano na ang gagawin mo, pinsan?"I didn't turn back to look at him at nanatili ang aking titig sa tanawin sa labas. I can see Hexton tapped his shoulder to back him up. "Let her rest kailangan niya pa mag-isip." Sabi ni Hexton kay Carter at naglakad naman palabas ng kwarto ko si Carter. My gaze lowered to the glass of water Asher put beside me. Tumayo siya sa tabi ko habang pinagmamasdan ako na nakatingin doon. "Drink first, Haxielle. You need to make your mind clear first don't pressure yourself." My fingers touch the mouth of glass at ininom iyon.
