"Andyan na yung mga pulis! Leuxia at Trevan!"

Naalis lang ang titig ko kay Trevan nang marinig ang sigaw ni Kaiden sa earpiece. I cursed loudly when I just realize the situation here.

I almost forgot about it. f**k it.

"You are so loud," Trevan remarked calmly, pertaining to Kaiden.

Napailing ako at mabilis na sumakay sa motor dahil mas lumalakas na ang sirena ng mga pulis. Papalapit na sila.

"s**t," Trevan cursed.

I transfixed my glance on where his eyes were, I gaped. I saw two police cars driving fast towards us. The red and blue lights awakened me more.

"Damn it," I hissed and started my Ducati Panigale.

Agad kong naramdaman si Trevan na umangkas sa akin. I glanced at him once on the side mirror... and never repeated it again, I'll be distracted.

Kumambyo ako habang nakatitig sa papalapit na mga pulis. Halos umangat ang unahan ng motor nang pakawalan ko 'yon. Binigla ko ulit ang pagliko dahil sa pagmamadali kaya narinig ko na naman ang mura ni Trevan.

Namataan ko pa habang humaharurot sina Zyon at Kyro na may hawak na malalaking baril. Nag-aabang sila sa pagdaan ng pulis at siguradong pupuntiryahin iyon para hindi na kami mahabol pa.

Ilang segundo lang nung makalayo kami sa kanila ay narinig na namin ang sunod-sunod na putok ng mga baril. Pero mas binilisan ko pa rin takbo para makasiguro.

"What the heck," Trevan whispered from behind. "Am I riding a roller coaster? For f**k-"

I cut him from drifting again. I heard him continuously cursing. Damn, I pursed my lips to contain a laugh.

I can even laugh in the midst of chase with the policemen huh? I winced to focus myself from driving.

I instantly turned my head when I heard a gunshot. I muttered a curse when I saw another police car.

Hindi na nakasunod yung dalawa kanina, pero may bago na naman.

"Hold on," I glanced at him again in the side mirror.

Iniliko ko agad ang motor kahit na wala pang nakukuhang tugon sa kaniya. Malutong siyang napamura, ramdam ko ang kamay niya na nakakapit sa makapal na hoodie ko.

I shook my head and didn't mind his hold on my waist. My lips twitched as I gaze at him from the side mirror.

Sinadya kong igewang ang motor para hindi kami maasinta ng mga pulis. Trevan started shooting them back, making them to drive slower.

Because of it, we got a bit far distance from them. But still, I cursed loudly. And I heard Trevan too when I suddenly braked the motor.

"Darn it, Leuxia!" aniya at hawak ang ulong nauntog sa akin dahil sa biglang preno ko.

Ramdam ko pa rin ang mahigpit na hawak ng isang kamay niya sa bewang ko. Bumaba ang tingin ko roon at ibinalik sa kaniya.

Pinigilan kong matawa sa itsura niya, lalo na't hindi maganda ang nangyayari. May barikadang nakaharang, hindi kami pwedeng makadaan.

Kahit na may maliit na eskinita sa gilid na pwede kaming magkasya. Hindi pa rin, dahil nakalagay sa tarpaulin na may checkpoint sa unahan nito. Nasa kabila ang bantay na siguradong mga pulis din.

We are caught off.

"Maco-corner tayo rito," untag ko sabay lingon sa kaniya.

Wala kaming ibang madaraanan kundi ang pabalik. Masasalubong namin ang pulis kapag babalik kami.

"I can remember that we passed a street earlier," he slowly said.

"Okay, babalik tayo," tumango ako.

Siguro naman hindi nila kami agad maaabutan. Lalo na kung mas haharurot ako ngayon.

I slowly turned my motor to face the opposite direction again. I can't see any car right now. But a motor driving expeditiously towards us.

I gaped while looking on it. I already knew who is it, even though she's under her black hoodie too.

My brows furrowed at the man behind her. A Bloodfeud member. She smoothly parked it beside us.

"Azea," I drawled, a bit shock.

She took off her hood and smirked at me. I glanced at Giusteo who's riding at her back. What the f**k?

"How did-" huminto ako para bawiin ang tanong.

I was about to ask her how did she knew it. But obviously, it's because of Giusteo. There's no other reasons... surely.

And I'm thanking it. They can help us now.

"You two are look alike," Trevan suddenly blurt out.

I agree on it. Especially now, she's wearing a black hoodie too. And I know she did it on purpose, to help us.

"Kami na ang magpapahabol sa pulis," untag ni Azea. "Siguradong aakalain din nila na ikaw ay ako."

"Okay," I nodded at her. "To the first street we'll reach?"

"Yeah," she nodded. "And by the way, we will having a practice tomorrow. The race is near."

I smirked and nodded at her. I started the engine. Sabay kaming bumulusok ng harurot pabalik sa dinaanan kanina.

Malapit na kami sa kantong lilikuan ay wala pa rin ang sasakyan ng mga pulis. 'Di kaya'y hinarang na ng ibang mga Bloodfeud?

I shook my head and continued driving fast, like what Azea's doing.

Napangisi ako nang marinig na ang sirena noon lalo na't mas malapit na kami. Siguradong nagkaproblema ang gulong nila dahil sa baril ni Trevan kanina kaya hanggang ngayon ay naroon pa rin sila.

Bumilis ang takbo nila, malamang ay natatanaw na kami ngayon. Yumuko ako at isinuot lalo ang hood, ganoon din ang ginawa ni Azea.

Nakita kong natigilan sila bago kami makaliko sa kanto ni Trevan. Dire-diretso lang ang naging takbo nila Azea kaya nagkahiwalay na kami.

I smirked devilishly when we didn't see them following us. They took the bait.

I'm driving slowly now because no one is chasing us. At medyo namamanhid na rin ang kamay ko kanina pa. I'm not wearing my leather gloves now.

"I almost thought that she's the Domina," Trevan blurt out. "Like how the Bloodfeud accused you before in wearing hoodie."

"She's not," I said while looking at the dark road.

"And you two really looked alike," he added. "Are you related to each other aside from being friends?"

I looked at him at the side mirror. He's not the only one who's telling me about that. All them almost thought that we are sisters by blood.

Lalo na kapag kaming apat ang magkakasama. Lalong nakikita ang pagkakapareha namin dahil sa pagiging iba namin kila Hattie at Atasha.

And I guess it's normal. And heck, that's the main reason why we are so close to each other. Because we are same.

"We are not blood related," I answered him.

"Really? I doubt it," he drawled lazily.

"Wow."

I sarcastically glared at him once before driving fast again. This s**t is irritating me.

Sa Hood Association na kami agad dumiretso para ibigay na ang D'Or Black Pearl kay Domina. Madilim na doon nang makarating kami. Tahimik at walang kahit na sino sa paligid.

"As I expected," Domina smirked. "Hindi ako bibiguin ng Bloodfeud."

Napatitig ako ulit sa tila anino niya lang dahil sa madilim na paligid. Inobserbahan ko iyon kahit na alam kong wala pa ring mapapala.

Hindi ko pa rin siya makilala... kahit ang boses niya.

Is she using a voice changer? Because I felt that she's somewhere... pakiramdam ko nasa paligid lang siya at nagmamasid.

Trevan put the elegant necklace on the top of slim white table. It's slowly going down like there's a underground hideout too below.

"Are you connected to the Caceres?" I bravely asked her.

"Leuxia," may banta sa tono ni Trevan.

I turned to him and saw his eyes darkened while glaring at me. Seems so dangerous huh?

I gulped, when I heard her chuckle. It's like a music, but not familiar.

"You are really a Levesque, Leuxia," she dangerously said with a serious tone. "But it looks like not a Levesque only..."

"What the f**k are you saying?" my brows furrowed.

"Leuxia!" Trevan exclaimed, giving me a warning again.

Nakita kong mariin siyang napapikit habang hawak ang sintido nang lingunin ko. He looked so stress, darn it.

"Be careful of your words, Levesque," Domina said in a monotone.

"Why?" I chuckled sarcastically. "One of these days you will appear and shoot me with your gun? Damn."

Masama titig ko sa kaniya. I glared at her beyond the black screen. She's stopping herself to laugh because her shoulders are moving but I can't hear any sound.

"Avior Leuxia..." Trevan called again, pissed off.

Nilingon ko siya na salubong ang mga kilay. I raised my brows at him. Mahina siyang napamura.

"I apologize, Domina," Trevan said politely. "We are going now."

He carefully grabbed my arm and started pulling me outside. But my eyes were still in the screen.

I can feel the creep with the last words she drawled perilously.

"I don't need a gun, Avior Leuxia... my eyes are enough."

That's how she can make feel a person, with just words only.

Tumatak iyon sa akin hanggang sa makabalik kami sa hideout ng Bloodfeud. Naroon na silang lahat at naghihintay na sa amin.

"Cheers for a mission success again!" Vlast exclaimed while holding a wine and a glass.

Naghiyawan ang mga Bloodfeud na nasa paligid ng gazebo ngayon. Katabi ko si Azea, dito rin sila dumiretso ni Giusteo.

"Siguraduhin niyo lang na walang pulis ang pupunta rito maya-maya!" sermon sa kanila ni Lourd.

"Kalma ka lang Lourdes!" Kaiden mocked him.

They all laughed when they heard what Kaiden shouted. He's a bit tipsy now.

Natigil sila sa pagtawa nang may marinig na kasa.

"Nasasanay na kayong hindi rumespeto! Nawala lang ako ng taon?" iritang untag ni Lourd. "Nawala na rin ang takot niyo?"

"I didn't even flinch when you pointed and shot the gun towards me," I said, mocking the old man. "You're not scary at all."

Ibinaba niya ang baril bago humarap sa akin. Nagkibit-balikat ang matanda.

"Naiintindihan pa kita," bahagya siyang natawa. "Levesque ka e."

Napailing ako nang marinig iyon. My aura was always been glued with my surname. I already knew it.

Nagpatuloy ang malalim na gabi habang nag-iinuman pa rin sila. Nagkakatuwaan at kasiyahan dahil sa misyong nairaos.

Hindi ako uminom gaya ni Azea kaya hanggang ngayon ay nasa katinuan pa rin kami. Nakaisang baso lang ata kami pareho kaya walang epekto.

I surveyed the Bloodfeuds around. Some were lying down on the floor, on tables and chairs. They all looked pityful.

"Leuxia, Azea," we heard a voice.

We turned our head in sequence at the back. It's Magnus with the founder and Yuno. They are all sober, unlike the other members.

"Bakit?" sabay naming tanong ni Azea kaya napatitig pa sila.

"Follow us," Trevan command and turned his back.

Sumunod na rin sa kaniya ang dalawa. Nagkatinginan kami ni Azea bago nagkibit-balikat.

"Bakit tayo susunod?" ngumisi si Azea sa akin kaya bahagya akong natawa.

Hindi pa sila tuluyang nakakalayo ay lumingon ulit si Trevan sa direksyon namin. Masama ang tingin at tila nababagot.

"Ang hirap niyo talaga pasunurin," he drawled lazily. "Basta sumunod kayo."

"Kung hindi kayo nagtitiwala, alam kong kaya niyo kami, Leuxia," Yuno said in a monotone.

I shrugged and stood.

Sabay kaming sumunod ni Azea sa kanila. They are going at the hideout. My brows furrowed at them instantly when we didn't enter it.

Nilampasan namin iyon at pumunta sa likod. We walked towards the shooting range, to the patterned wall beside to be exact.

Malaking pader iyon na nagdudugtong sa mansion. It's patterned by the white and black brick walls.

I gaped when Trevan pushed it and results to a secret passage.

"What the-"

Hindi halata iyon dahil sa mga brick na pintuan noon ay may pagkakasunod-sunod. Mukhang normal lang na pader at hindi lagusan.

Trevan was leading the way with a flashlight. Magnus was the last to enter it. He was the one who expertly closed the wall again.

Hagdan ang nilalakaran namin ngayon pababa. Semento at hindi lupa gaya ng inaasahan dahil nasa ilalim kami.

It's an underground hideout.

"Did you get in here before?" Azea whispered.

"Not yet," I shook my head.

After the long stairs, a narrow hallway welcomed us. Trevan turned the flashlight off since there's a lamp in the side walls now.

Hindi masyadong mahaba ang hallway na 'yon dahil tanaw ko na ang bakal na pinto. Huminto si Yuno na nasa unahan namin kahit medyo malayo pa kay Trevan.

I saw Trevan typing something, maybe the password code to the door. Then it opened widely.

Namangha ako nang makapasok. May iba't ibang baril na nakasabit sa pader. Medyo madilim din ang ilaw sa loob. Itim at puti lang ang makikita.

May isang malaking white board sa harap, maraming papel ang nakadikit doon. There are computers also and huge monitors. It's like the office of Bloodfeud in the hideout but more expensive.

"Ang tagal niyo," Sage surveyed us.

My head tilted to the glass cabinet in the left. It looks like a collection so I decided to take a look.

It's a collection of handguns with bullets. But I noticed that it looks like a gun for a specific person. Because I can see their names written on it.

Napaawang nang mahagip ng mata ang isang pamilyar na baril.

"This is Lucien's gun and bullet," I slowly said before turning to them. "Why do you have it?"

Lucien's intials are engraved on the bullets. Hindi mo basta-bastang magagamit iyon na iba ang bala dahil ipinasadya iyon sa kaniya.

Sa pagkakaalam ko, isa lang ang ganito niya... at nasa kaniya pa rin iyon.

"I can't answer your question," Trevan shook his head.

"Try to ask Lourd, instead," Magnus suggested.

Mas lalo akong nagtaka nang makita pa ang iilan sa mga 'yon.

"My Mom's dagger is here too," Azea pointed the another cabinet.

"And my Mom's too," I slowly said.

I gaped. I didn't know that my Mom has an exclusive dagger too. But why the f**k? I stared on her name engraved on it.

Elixia Levesque

"Survey it later, we need to talk now," I heard Trevan's voice.

I turned to him, he's sitting on a wide table in the middle. They are all sitting so we followed them.

"Alam ba ng ibang mga Bloodfeud 'to?" I suddenly asked.

"No," Magnus shooks his head. "Only trusted people can enter here."

I smirked at them.

"May tiwala na kayo agad sa amin?" napatingin pa ako kay Azea na nagtataka rin. "Pero sa ibang Bloodfeud wala?"

"Hindi niyo pa kami kilala," Azea smirked at them.

I glanced at Trevan when he chuckled devilishly. I stared at him, leaning on the chair while holding his temple.

"Can we ask first?" he pursed his lips. "Wala ba talaga sa inyong dalawa ang Domina?'

"Wala," I casually answered.

Trevan nodded at me. He looked down, thinking something.

"I can sense that you are doubting her, Leuxia. So I invited you here..." he glanced at Azea quickly. "With her because maybe she knows something."

"I don't believe that it's just like that," Azea smirked. "How can you trust us?"

He raised his hand on us.

"Okay, fine," he nodded. "Lourd told us that we can trust a Levesque and a Solasta."

I looked at him, surveying his reaction and expression.

I suddenly remembered the old man. What is his connection? Kilala niya ang pamilya namin?

"Then why are my cousins not here?" I raised my brow.

"Bukod sa lasing sila," Sage chuckled elegantly. "Madali silang mauto ng babae."

"Not now, Sage," Magnus warned her.

Nanatali ang katahimikan sa amin saglit. Napatitig ako sa salamin na mesa nang maging screen iyon. Lumabas doon ang litrato ng Domina, anino lang halos iyon gaya ng nakikita namin palagi.

"So this is all about the Domina," I whispered.

"We will try to find out who is she," Magnus started.

"Leuxia at Azea, may nawawala kayong kapatid... hindi ba?" Yuno asked slowly.

Agad na tumalim ang tingin ko sa kanila nang marinig iyon. Dumiretso ako ng upo.

"Paano niyo nalaman 'yon?" may diin sa tanong ko.

They knew that she's a Solasta-Levesque.

"Don't worry, Mako told it," Sage said in a monotone. "We are not searching about your families. We can't."

"I'm doubting the Domina now because she let Breck to enter the association again," Trevan licked his lower lip. "And with the Caceres cousins that I'd knew just right now, are your family enemy."

I nodded at him.

"That's my reason too why I asked her earlier."

"Let's build a conclusion," ani Trevan at pinatay ulit ang screen na mesa. " What if... the Fortnite Hood is connected to the Domina and with the lost of your sister?"

We all looked into each others with confused eyes.

"They are too mysterious," Yuno shrugged. "Kahit ang founder nila ay hindi natin kilala."

"The founder was hiding like the Domina," Magnus leaned on the chair while holding his chin.

"It's been a year since Vielle gone missing," Azea frowned. "And if the Domina was really related to the Caceres, they probably have her now."

My brows furrowed on the topic we are talking now. All of a sudden, why?

"Just investigate more for now," Trevan said with authority. "We need to know a lot about her."

"I just want to know why?" I surveyed them. "Are you aiming for something?"

Trevan smirked at me devilishly.

"I don't want the words to fall out, Leuxia... you'll know about it soon."
