BLOODFEUD 1

Kabanata 13

Kabanata 13

I turned my gaze ouside the car's window, thinking about the pictures I saw earlier. I don't want to tell the Bloodfeuds about those, especially the one Lucien's picture.

Hindi ko alam kung iisipin ko bang siya nga ang Domina. Dahil wala rin namang kumpirmasyon.

"Hindi sa kanila 'yon."

It's replaying inside my mind continuously. She didn't say that it's hers, but looks like she claimed it. I don't f*****g understand.

Hindi ko rin pwedeng sabihin kay Trevan at sa mga Bloodfeud 'yon. Lalo na't hindi ako sigurado sa motibo nila kapag nakilala na nila ang Domina.

Hindi niya sinagot ng diretso yung tanong ko, nung gabing 'yon. Kaya kailangan kong mag-ingat sa pagkakatiwalaan ko.

Especially, that there's a possibility that the Domina and Lucien is the same person.

And now, I should talk to Lourd. I don't want to tell to the Levesques in Santuario that I knew something.

They will hide it more... for sure.

"Leuxia," Yuno called me.

Agad akong napalingon sa kaniya galing sa pagkatulala sa labas. Marahil na rin sa malalim na pag-iisip.

"Why?" I asked.

But I saw them getting off from the car. I didn't notice that we are already here. f**k it.

"You'll stay here?" Trevan raised his brow to me.

"Tss," I shook my head and opened the door.

Kinapa ko ang dalang mga litrato na nasa bulsa. Iniwan ko ang kay Lucien sa mansion dahil baka makita pa nila. Wala akong balak na ipagsabi 'yon.

Luminga ako, umaasang mamataan si Lourd. I badly wanted to ask him. My curiousity will really f*****g kill me.

"They are still in Philippine Arena," Magnus blurt out, I turned to him.

"Where's Lourd?" I asked in a low tone of voice.

But still...

"Why are you searching him?" I heard Trevan's voice behind me.

I leered.

Magnus smirked and shrugged.

"He's with Sage right?" Laxner turned to them. "Maybe they go-"

"You should learn how to shut your f*****g mouth, Inocencio," Trevan glared him.

Laxner chuckled and raised his both hands, surrending to the dangerous founder.

My brows furrowed at them. Are they hiding something? Tss.

We lunged to the BF's hideout. I saw Kaiden inside with my cousin. I immediately glared Mako when I saw him smirked mockingly.

But still, thanks to him. If he didn't inform the Bloodfeuds with me about the collection of our Lola, I wouldn't find out about the pictures.

"Sila Azea?" tanong ko agad sa kaniya.

"Baka naroon pa sa Arena, nauna lang kami," kibit-balikat na untag ni Mako.

Napatingin ako sa dart board sa isang gilid. Naglakad ako papalapit doon para magpalipas ng oras habang nagpaplano pa sila. At para na rin makapag-isip isip.

I played the small missiles on my hands before throwing it to the dartboard. I smirked when I hit the inner bull's eye.

"Candy Productions' office was located in SJDM," Kaiden informed us, slowly reading it.

I turned to him for a while. He's typing on a laptop with narrowed eyes, reading the informations. Laxner and Mako were sitting beside him, looking at the laptop too.

Not far from them was Magnus, slowly cleaning a handgun with a small cloth. He's staring on it, surveying the gun quietly.

My gaze transfixed to Trevan. He's leaning on chair while holding his chin, thinking deep. I immediately shifted my gaze back to the dartboard when he tilted his head upon me.

"Tingin ko hindi sapat na si Leuxia lang ang ipapasok natin sa agency," nag-angat ng tingin sa akin si Kaiden. "Masyadong malawak ang sakop nila."

"I agree," Yuno nodded and glanced at me.

Naghihintay ng opinyon mula sa bawat isa. Hindi pamilyar sa akin ang modeling agency na 'yon, pero mukhang kilala nga sila.

Lalo na't nakarating sa Domina ang isyu.

"Sino pa bang ipapasok niyo? Syempre ako na."

Napatingin kaming lahat sa pinto nang marinig iyon.

It's Vlast who's walking like a model towards us. He's even holding his hair like seducing someone.

"Bobo walang slot para sa mga lalaki," humalakhak si Mako.

Agad niyang ibinaba ang kamay na nasa ulo kaya natawa sila. Lalo na nang makita ang mukha niyang dismayado.

"Unless you will dressed like a girl, Vlast," Magnus smirked at him mockingly. "What do you think, Trevan?"

"He'll eventually agree with it," Trevan smirked.

"Oo nga," tumawa si Kaiden. "Langit sa kaniya roon, maraming babae!"

"No f*****g way," Vlast exclaimed with eyes widened in disbelief.

They all laughed at him, especially with his disgusted face. I pursed my lips and shook my head.

Narinig na rin namin ang iba pang mga Bloodfeud mula sa labas. Segundo lang ay sunod-sunod na silang pumasok.

"Si Azea!" Laxner exclaimed.

"Why, Laxner?" Giusteo shot his brow up.

I nodded at Laxner when he turned to us before Giusteo. Azea's forehead creased, she turned to us perplexedly.

"Chill," Laxner chuckled. "She can join our plan with Leuxia for the mission."

"Si Atasha rin," tumango si Mako at nilingon ang kapatid. "Nasaan ba siya? Hindi niyo kasama?"

"Hindi na," umiling si Kael.

"Nagmamadali siyang umalis," Azea shrugged.

"Yeah, she left without telling to me," Vlast leered irritatedly.

"Bakit? Magulang ka ba ni Atasha at kailangan niya pang magpaalam sa 'yo?" Kyro asked him casually.

There's no tone of sarcasm with his question so the Bloodfeuds almost did a face palm.

Tiningnan siya ng masama ni Vlast at umamba ng suntok pero hindi pa rin tinuloy.

"Bakit? Totoo naman," nagkibit-balikat siya na lalong nagpapikon kay Vlast.

"May gusto ka ba kay Tasha?" maangas na tanong ni Vlast sa kaniya.

"Ha? Anong gusto?" takang tanong ni Kyro. "Ang labo mo naman."

Kyro is a hitman. Kung gaano siya kabilis umasinta at pumatay ay ganoon naman kabagal ang utak niya.

Natawa ako ng mahina, parang siya.

"Ako pa tal-"

"Enough with fighting just over a girl," Trevan remarked. "Are you dumb?"

Vlast smirked at him mockingly.

"Okay, Trevan," Vlast chuckled.

"Shut up, Vlast," he glared him.

We saw Magnus chuckled with so Trevan transfixed his glare to his cousin.

My brows furrowed at them but I ignored it when I noticed something.

"Where's Hattie?" I suddenly asked so they turned to me.

"Wala rin si Terviel," Zyon said. "Magkasama pa rin siguro ngayon."

Tumango ako sa kaniya. May tiwala naman ako kay Terviel na walang mangyayaring masama kay Hattie. Kailangan bantayan siya lalo na ngayong bumalik ang mga Caceres.

Pero nanatili ang pagtataka ko. Saan naman nagpunta ang pinsan ko? Tss.

"Azea," Magnus called her. "Is it okay to you to join the modeling agency? For mission purposes only."

"It's okay, as long as Leuxia is there too," she nodded.

Ibinalik ko ang dart sa hawak nang makitang papunta siya sa akin.

"Pupunta ako sa VG ngayon, kila Yara," ani Azea nang makalapit. "May karera raw ulit mamaya sa junkyard."

"Sasali tayo?" I asked excitedly.

Hindi ako kuntento sa bike lang kanina sa Arena. I want more.

Azea nodded. "Hindi ko lang sigurado kung makakasama si Tasha mamaya."

"Sasali kayo ulit a street racing?" singit ni Killian na malapit sa amin.

Medyo napalakas ang tanong niya kaya nagtinginan ang mga Bloodfeud. Their brows furrowed on us.

"What?" Trevan asked.

"The underground street racing last time?" Primo asked too.

"It's illegal," Lenus added.

I shrugged. I glanced at Mako who laughed.

"Gawain na nila 'yan dati pa," ani Mako habang nakaturo sa amin.

"Pati si Tasha?" Vlast turned to us.

"But it's still illegal," Magnus shot his brow up.

Azea shrugged. "Kung mahuhuli kami."

"Isa pa... hindi pa nagbibigay ng misyon si Domina tungkol sa street racing dito sa Gorostiza," matigas na untag ko. "She's on the side of street racers here and in favor of it."

Wala silang ideya tungkol sa karera tuwing gabi rito sa amin nang dalhin ko sila roon. Kaya alam ko na hindi pa nagbibigay ng misyon ang Domina.

"Remember that a fish can be caught with its own mouth," Trevan remarked like a warn.

I smirked. I already told them that I'm not the freaking Domina. This fucker.

"Dumb," I muttered.

All the Bloodfeuds looked at me harshly. Mako shook his head and the founder leered.

Nagpaalam na rin sa akin si Azea na pupunta na roon, para na rin makasiguro. Sinundan ko silang dalawa palabas ng tingin hanggang sa makalabas.

Naupo na rin ako sa mesa kung nasaan ang ibang mga Bloodfeud. Si Mako at Primo ang nasa magkabilang gilid ko.

"Kaiden, give all the requirements that Leuxia and Azea needed to join the production," Trevan commanded him immediately.

"I can take the shots they wanted," Lenus offered.

Trevan and the Bloodfeuds nodded at him. I leaned on the chair and observed them planning about the mission.

"When?" Magnus asked.

"Maybe tomorrow," Trevan drawled lazily. "Then we will take the plan the next day."

A knock from the door interrupted us. Our heads turned to it in sequence with perplexed expressions.

The door slowly opened, letting in a alluring girl with a tan skin and wavy short hair. She smiled like an angel, pure and innocent.

At her back was a tall and fair skin boy. His presence and looks can distract you, especially right now, he smirked.

"Hesine?!" gulat na untag ni Zyon. "Krade?!"

Napaamang o kaya napatayo ang mga Bloodfeud nang makita sila. Maliban sa akin dahil hindi ko naman sila kilala. Nanatili akong kalmado at nakasandal, nagtatakang nakatingin sa kanila.

I glanced at the girl again. She looks fragile, like a expensive glass but easy to break.

"Hesine," Trevan stood and called her.

Nang igala ko ang tingin ay nakita kong nakaupo rin pala si Magnus pero gulat ang ekspresyon. Nagtaka ako nang mabilis niyang itinago ang baril na hawak... na para bang ayaw ipakita 'yon.

"Hien," Magnus slowly called her.

The girl smiled again and walked towards the two.

Bumalik sa pagkaka-upo ang mga Bloodfeud. Nakasunod ang lalaki sa babae habang naglalakad papunta kila Trevan.

I saw her hugged Trevan and Magnus. She also greeted the Bloodfeuds around.

I looked at my cousin beside me to ask about them. I usually don't give a f**k about cases like this... but I don't know why? I wanted to know.

"Who are they?" I asked Mako.

"Si Krade, pinsan ni Zyon," nilingon ako ni Mako. "Muntik na makasali dito sa Bloodfeud kaso kinailangan nilang umalis."

"And?" I asked again, not contented.

"Si Hesine," tumikhim si Mako. "Kababata nila Trevan, pinsan ni Krade."

So that's why they are very close. I saw Primo shifted on his seat beside me.

"I just wish they won't fight again," Primo chuckled.

"Fight for?" I asked perplexedly.

"Her."

I suddenly turned my head when I heard her exclaimed. She has a soft voice.

She looked at me amusingly.

"Sino siya?" marahan na tanong niya kila Trevan.

"And why there is a beautiful girl here?" Krade's brows shot up.

"The new member," Magnus answered then smiled.

Hesine smiled at me. Krade shook his head.

"What? She's a girl?" his brows furrowed.

I frowned a bit, still the stereotype.

"She's not like Hesine, Krade," Lenus smirked. "She can even beat you."

His eyes narrowed at me before smirking.

"What's your name?" he suddenly asked.

"Pinsan ko 'yan, Krade," may banta sa tono ng boses ni Kael.

"Oh," he chuckled.

I leaned on my chair, watching them talking.

"Sakto ang pag-uwi niyo, lalo ka na Hesine," untag ni Kaiden. "Siguradong walang alam si Leuxia sa fashion at kaipangan namin ngayon para sa misyon."

I almost glared him.

"Can you help us with the mission, Hien?" Magnus slowly asked.

"Pumapatay pa rin kayo?" mahinang tanong niya.

"Sometimes, if needed," Trevan shrugged.

"It's okay," Hesine nodded then smiled at me. "I won't hold a gun, right?"

I can't smile back.

"No," Magnus shook his head instantly.

Hesine hates violence? She's so pure and innocent. She doesn't even want to touch a gun.

"Hesine!"

Biglang nabuhay ang nabuburyo kong loob nang marinig ang boses ni Sage. Pumasok siya bigla at dumiretso kay Hesine.

She's here, so is Lourd? Freak, I need to talk to him.

Should I sneak into their mansion? Or ask Sage instead? But I'm not sure with their answer. Trevan didn't even want to tell where he is earlier.

Saglit akong natulala at nag-isip ng gagawin. Mababaliw na ako kapag hindi ko pa naitanong 'to kay Lourd.

"Leuxia!"

Natauhan lang ako nang marinig ang sigaw na 'yon.

"Damn," I cursed when I heard Kaiden shouted. "What?!"

I irritatedly looked at them. I heard Mako chuckled so I glared him.

I stiffened when I felt something down on my feet. I quickly grabbed the gun below the table.

Pakalat-kalat na baril, tss.

"Sasama ka kay Hesine, pipili kayo ng damit," imporma ni Yuno.

I nodded and put the gun inside my pocket. I stood up and walked towards them.

"But I need to talk first with Lourd," I said in monotone and glanced at Sage.

"No-"

Hindi natapos si Trevan sa pagsasalita nang bigla kong itutok ang baril na napulot ko kanina sa kaniya. Tinitigan niya ako nang masama.

"Woah," Krade chuckled beside him.

I saw near him was Hesine with eyes widened. She's swallowing hard while looking at the gun.

"Leuxia, put the gun down," Magnus pleaded.

"Bakit walang gumagalaw na Bloodfeud?" natatawang tanong ni Krade.

"Walang palag," humalakhak si Killian.

Masama silang tinitigan ni Trevan.

"Dalhin mo 'ko kay Lourd."

"For what?" he calmly asked.

Hesine turned her back, hating the sight of a gunpoint to her childhood friend. Or maybe more than that?

"Basta," untag ko.

Seryoso siyang tumitig sa akin. Muntik akong mapamura nang marahan niya hinawakan ang dulo ng paril. Itinatapal ang sariling kamay doon.

"You are rude, Leuxia," he smirked before holding my wrist.

Bigla niya akong hinila palabas ng kwartong iyon. Narinig ko pa ang pustahan ng mga Bloodfeud sa loob. Hawak niya pa rin ang palapulsuhan ko hanggang makalabas kami roon at makarating sa mansion.

I saw the elegant interior of their mansion for the first time. It looks so classy with a touch of modern furnitures.

Their mansion was good. The maids around are in uniform so I put the gun inside my pocket. I might scare them, like on Hesine.

Mahaba pa ang inilakad namin sa elegante at kahoy na hagdan nila dahil sa laki ng mansion.

We stopped beside the huge and wooden door carved with some symbols on it.

Isinandal niya ako sa pader bago humarap sa akin na masama ang tingin.

"Don't point a gun against me again," he said, still staring.

"Okay," I nodded and turned to go through the door in a hurry.

Bt he extended his arm, stopping me from going away. I looked at him perplexedly.

"What?" I asked staring on his face.

"I'm not yet done," his brow shot up. "I said follow my orders, not you commanding me."

I hid my real expression upon him, near to me. I still can take his presence. Well, that's what I think.

"Oh ano pa?" naiinip na tanong ko.

"Tss," he glared me. "I'm not even sure if you are really listening for f**k's sake, Avior Leuxia."

I stiffened. I swallowed when I heard him say it. He was glaring at me, alluringly.

He suddenly pulled me again through the huge door. He knocked twice before entering it.

My focused on the table I immediately saw where Lourd is sitting now. He looked up on us before smirking.

"Anong kailangan sa 'kin ng founder at ng nag-iisang babae niya... sa grupo."

Trevan glared him.

"Hindi ko rin alam," Trevan remarked before turning his back. "Make sure that you won't, Lourd."

"You know that I can't," Lourd laughed at him.

I glanced at them perplexedly. Trevan gazed at me for a while before going out.

Agad akong lumingon kay Lourd nang makaalis si Trevan. Sumandal siya at mukhang naghihintay sa sasabihin ko.

"Kilala mo ang mga Levesque at Solasta," untag ko, hindi sa patanong na tono.

Sumeryoso ang mukha niya nang marinig iyon.

"Maging ang mga Caceres," dagdag ko.

Lourd nodded.

Nang makarating sa harap niya ay inilabas ko ang mga litratong nakuha sa kwarto ni Lola.

"Anong mayroon sa pagitan ng tatlong pamilya?" diretsong tanong ko.

"Wala kang alam?" salubong ang kilay niya.

Tinuruan kami ng tiyahin namin, ni Lucien na gumamit ng dahas. Bata palang ay baril at punyal na ang mga nilalaro namin.

Bata palang ay kaharap na namin si Satanas. At ginagawa namin 'yon, sinusunod namin... kahit hindi alam ang tunay na dahilan kung bakit.

"The Lady, Lucien, trained you all but didn't inform," he said in a monotone.

Lady? Of f**k it, another clue for the Domina. Lady means f*****g Domina in Latin.

But it's wide, everyone can use it. Darn it.

"Lady? Siguradong may alam ka nga," my brows furrowed. "Lalo na't narito ka sa mga litrato."

And plus the guns and dagger of Levesques and Solastas on their collection. They really have an connection to each other.

"Hindi sinabi nila Lucien Levesque at Azria Solasta," humawak siya sa baba at tumango. "Hindi ko rin sasabihin."

"Ano?!" iritadong untag ko.

"Lucien was the one who have the right to tell it," he smiled sadly. "Especially, it's like tragedy for her."

Lalo akong naguluhan nang marinig iyon.

"But I'll try to give you some clue," itinukod niya ang siko sa mesa.

Agad akong tumingin sa kaniya na nagtatanong ang mga mata. Kahit kaunting impormasyon lang, sigurado akong malalaman ko rin 'yon.

"What is it?"

"Levesques are the angels craving for chaos... and the Solastas are demons seeking for peace."

He smirked devilishly.

"And the Caceres are demons but dressed like an angels smiling in m******e manipulation."

Massacre manipulation... it happened before. I heard it from Lola.

I looked at him perplexedly.

"And you? Why are you here?"

He leaned and smiled. I can see the demons on his eyes.

"I was the instrument for that bloody feud."
