Violet would have turned around when she heard a bang inside the room. Worried for his subjects, she took a step forward and was about to run when—
“Cara mia… Please don't. I don't want to lose you again. Please."He said, practically begging for her to stop and go back to him.
She tightened her fist and looked back over her shoulder. Slowly, she softened when she saw him gripping his knee in pain. Did I hit his weak spot?. She then realized that she had worn stilettos this morning. Shaking her head, she was about to approach him when she suddenly heard repeated gunshots.
"I'm sorry Glaze .." Violet whispered and ran back
She swiftly pulled the gun from her waist and slammed the door open. There were men standing in front of the door holding guns. All the leaders now face them holding guns. Violet pointed at the men in the middle of the room. She couldn’t help but feel embarrassed for the men who just barged in a leaders’ meeting.
"Hey! Who are you?! Huh?!" She asked
"Miss me Queen G?" He asked in the middle
"Oh F * ck off" She said annoyed
She aimed the gun at the center and others imitated her.
"Oh Wow. Chill guys. We're just going to leave a note from the boss" the man in the middle smiled
She was surprised when a dagger flew down on her so she just closed her eyes.
Violet’s POV
When I opened my eyes I saw the end of the dagger close to the center of my eyes. My breathing quickened. I looked at the man holding the end of the dagger, The man standing next to me.
"I'll never let them hurt you" he whispered and lowered the dagger
That was the dagger that was thrown at me. Pa-How did he stop that?
I looked at the door. They are gone. Maybe they took the time to throw a dagger at me to escape. They knew everyone would follow the dagger towards me so they ran away.
"Queen G .." I looked at the woman who spoke
The new leader, Ms. Xia.
"I think I can help" he said "I know those idiots. They are the ones with the Crow feathers, They were sent here to kill you. And... many are already planning to kill you"
After he said that he left. I also followed out and went to my motor.
"Violet… Calm down. Those were lies..Okay... Th-Those were... just lies" I whispered to myself as I walked closer to my motor
Until now I still wonder what Glaze said earlier. Cara mia? He called me cara mia? But why? Is he the guy in my memories? But how—what has he got to do with my blurred memories?! But… Felix? Si-Who is Felix?!
I suddenly knelt down when someone jolted my brain on the left. f**k! No! . I tried to stand up but I got on my knees again.
"Argh!" I shouted in pain
I fell down and held my head. I also lay down because I no longer knew what to do. Gradually the surroundings faded. I want this to end! Please! . I remember the dagger that Alea gave me. I took it from my jacket and focused on my left sense. This is all gonna end in one stab Nix.
"Monggi!"
I was stunned to hear that. I looked at his place but I was so confused. I felt dizzy so I just fell down.
----
Jeez where am I? Wait, soft bed? Dark feeling. Oh, My room.
"Glaze. You can't pretend to be two guys forever" I heard Tyler's voice
I have not opened my eyes yet. I wanna hear something else.
"Tyler, I got into a mess. It's a big mess. So I will not introduce Violet to who he really is. They will include her name in the list of those to be killed in Gang Combats." Glaze replied "I know when they find out I have a connection with her they will use Talia as my weakness "
"He is on the list of those who will be killed. Even if you are the reason." Tyler replied
There is a momentary silence.
"I moved her to the dorm. She is still with Ash, I don't want to see her with him first. He will be even more harmed. Even at our school there are people watching." Added Glaze
Why? What the heck did he even do?
"Glaze, What did you do?" Tyler asked
Glaze did not answer immediately. Don't move, Nyx.
"I killed Miguel's Brother and..Girlfriend" He answered
He... killed someone too?
"Who is Miguel?" Tyler asked repeatedly
"The leader of Devil's Eye." Glaze replied again
I couldn't help but gasp. I know they looked at me. I just pretended to be asleep.
"Talia, I know you're awake" Tyler said and held my arm
I still did not stare. Please no, I am asleep.
"Talia." Tyler called repeatedly "one! Glaze will kill you .."
I woke up suddenly and looked at him badly.
"What did you hear?" Glaze asked and approached Tyler
"You killed someone." I whispered while looking at him seriously
Her eyes widened.
"Why?" I asked
"Because they've been trying to kill you. We are just kids and your whole family is angry with Miguel's whole family" he explained "Ate Blue. He is the first gangster in your family. He is the next one. In the office of Your dad works with Miguel's parents, but when your dad fired both of his parents, that's when they all got angry. They wanted to kill your dad's last child that year "
My eyes widened.
"Why me?" I asked
"My sister was 12 years old when she fought Miguel's brother. Harvey, when Harvey lost Ate Blue became Queen G. But when she became Queen G she was the day your dad fired their parent. So they are pouring out anger on you, You are the next Queen G and closest to your father "
I hardly spoke anymore. What the f*****g hell ?! I got up from the bed and went down to the door. I need water. I just went down the stairs. I need to refresh my mind. I need some space. I need some alone time. I no longer went to the kitchen I just ran out of the house.
"The heck ?! NIX!"
Jeez, I'm still barefoot. Haysh, Just run Nix.
_______________________________________
I am now sitting at the top of a tree and I am still stunned by those informations. That was a lot to take in.
"Super hard to accept noh ate Iya?" Zax asked
I looked down, He was with Ash. I just smiled and helped him climb, Ash just jumped up and sat down in front of me.
"Do you know sister?" He asked
I just nodded. Wait...
"Wait, how did you find out?" I asked
He smiled "I heard Ate Blue and Dad talking months ago."
I just nodded. He lay down on my thigh and hugged Ash.
"Ate, I've always wanted to ask ..." he began "If you had a child, What would you name him?"
Luh nababaliw na ata toh. I thought for a second.
"Maybe Katsume for a boy and Andrea for a girl" I replied
Yes I love those names.
"Nix! Where the heck are you ?!" We looked down, Sheez Tyler
Tyler and Glaze were there. Haysh ...
"Shh .." Said Zax
They looked up but we were still hiding in a branch.
"Hey! Where are you ?!" Glaze shouted
We sat on a sang and Zax suddenly sang.
"I love you but ..." he sang so they looked at us
I laughed as I walked over to Zax.
"Kuya Glaze! I love you says Ate Iya! He loves you so much!" I don't know but I blushed immediately
"Ohh blushed .." Tyler was pissed
Ash and I went downstairs. I just blinked and was surprised when Zax jumped on me.
"What the f**k Zax." I tried to get up from falling to the ground but it hurt in the back!
"Hey hala. You're serious ..." Tyler said
He built us while Ash supported me. Samewe went home together but Glaze just left. Hays, Come on Nix. Isn't that okay? He can't do that.
