Vengeance From Hell

Vengeance 44

TW:VIOLENCE

We closed the gate and all the lights. I made sure that everything is locked except the front door. The whole place is filled with the gloomy and horror of silence as me and Lucifer waited for the cops to arrived. We stayed alert and  quick while looking at every monitor from time to time. Nandito kami sa roof deck kasi nandito ang operator room. The controller of the locks and monitor of the CCTV cameras are here.

"Athena." For the first time ever, Lucy called me by my name. But instead of being grateful about it, it sent shivering of uneasiness to my system. "Wala na akong kakayahang makita kung anong susunod na mangyayare. Damon must have been waiting for this night too. Siya na lang din ang may alam sa kung anong mga mangyayare." Malungkot ngunit seryuso niyang pahayag na ikinabuntong-hininga ko.

"Hayaan mo na, Lucy." I gave him a plain smile. "It doesn't matter anyway."

"I don't wanna say this but, salamat sa lahat. Whatever happens to us tonight, please be happy. Be strong." Hinawakan niya ang magkabilaang balikat ko at hinila ako papunta sa bisig niya para yakapin. Mahigpit ko rin siyang niyakap pabalik at pasimpleng pinonasan ang luha ko. "I know you're scared, Athena, but we don't have any choice. I always have your back, okay?" Tumango ako at humiwalay sa bisig niya. Halos sabay kaming napalingon sa labas ng gate nang marinig namin ang mga sirena ng mga police mobile.

"Hindi na ako aatras, Lucy, kaya gusto kong malaman mo na labis akong nagpapasalamat sa lahat ng mga sakripisyo at tulong na ginawa mo para saakin." Maluhaluha pero nakangiti kong saad. "Pasensya kana kung hindi ko nasuklian yung nararadaman para mo saakin, pero gusto kong malaman mo na isa ka sa mga taong hinihiling ko na makasama pa ng mas matagal."

"You're so nice and beautiful, Athena, no wonder why he is so fond of you." He smiled and gently pat the top of my head. "It was nice working with you Athena Mirhone." Pigil emosyon niya pang saad na ikinahikbi ko.

"See you at the other side, Lucifer." He kissed me on my forehead like I am the most precious jewel for him.

Pagkatapos ay tinalikoran niya na ako. Binuksan niya ang pinto at bago pa man siya makalabas ay muli niya akong nilingon. He gave me the most genuine smile he has given me before he disappeared.

I covered my mouth with the back of my hand to refrain myself from sobbing. Ilang minuto pa ako tumulala at kung hindi pa ako makarinig nang sunod-sunod na putok na baril ay hindi pa ako mababalik sa wisyo.

I wiped my tears away and started scanning every monitor to see where they are. Naikuyom ko na lang ang mga palad ko nang mapagtanto kong sobrang dami ng mga pulis. And I don't think they are just an ordinary police, I think some of them are just dressed up as a police.

"Buksan mo ang pinto o papasabogin ko bungo mo ngayon din." Napatayo ako ng tuwid nang may biglang nagsalita sa likod ko. I probably can't see it but I know for sure that he's pointing a gun on my head right now. "Buksan mo na!" Ipinagduldolan niya ang dulo ng baril dahilan kung bakit tuloyan nang nawala ang pasensya ko at mabilis akong kumilos para para maagaw ang baril at mabaliktad ang sitwayson.

"You had your chance, you should have ended me." And by that, I didn't even blink as I pulled the trigger and buried the bullet right through his head. "Police are dumb."

Pinunasan ko ang tumalsik na dugo sa mukha ko at muling nilingon ang mga monitors. Nakahinga ako nang maluwag nang makita kong okay lang si Lucy. Pero mas natuon ang pansin ko kay Nathan na pilit binubuksan ang pinto at ganoon din si Haven na pilit inaalis ang kadenang nakatali sa paa at kamay niya.
