KACHINO
Lihim na lang akong napangisi sa tinuran ni Xydex but I masked it with other emotion.
"Don't worry. I came back here 'empty handed'." Simpleng sagot ko.
Xydex scrutinize me, but when he realized he won't get anything from me he decided to drop the subject. Nagpatuloy na lang kami sa pagkain at ng matapos ay dumiretso kami sa living area nito.
"I'm really full. You really have amazing cooking skills, Xydex. Your wife-to-be must be lucky" puri ko dito ko habang komportableng nakaupo sa sofa nito.
"Tsk. I told you not to call me with that name." iritang sabi ni Xydex.
Marahan akong natawa "Why? You should be grateful you have such nice name." sabi ko dito causing him to looked at me and then I saw some emotions flicker into his eyes pero saglit lang ito at nawala din agad tapos iniwas na ang tingin.
"Call me Rage." He then command, " Anyways alam na ba ni Liyah na nandito ka na?" pag-iiba ni Xydex.
Napansin kong medyo natigilan si Morgan. So, their dispute hasn't settled yet, but it's been five years.
"I still prefer Xydex" giit ko at napabuntong hininga na lang ito, "Yes, she was the first one to know that I'm back." Pagkuwa'y sagot ko sa tanong nito.
"Tsk, sya pa talaga ang unang pinuntahan." Nakabusangot na sabi ni Morgan.
"Grow up, Morgan. It's been five years." sabi ko dito samantalang si Xydex ay tahimik lang.
"Ganun na lang yun!" pagmamaktol nito
"Just forget it."
"How could you say that? Tss. That woman disgusted me to the bones." sabi nito at halata sa itsura nito kung ga'no kinamumuhian nito ang nasabing babae.
"What else can you do? The deed has been done. Whatever you do nothing will change. So, just forget it and pretend that it didn't happen" I casually said.
But then it struck me what I just said. I become stiff and images started flashing in my mind. Hindi ko na din alintana kung ano pa man yung mga pinagsasabi ni Morgan at yung paligid ko.
"Stop.It" I said in a terrifying voice making Morgan stopped to what he was saying.
Pinakalma ko ang sarili ko then I stood up, "Would you like to join me tonight?" pagkakuwa'y nakangisi ko ng tanong.

MASKED (Rewritten)
Action'FEAR' The word that I'd hate the most a very LONG LONG time ago. But as time passed by, it became like a drug that makes me so HIGH together with BLOOD AND DEATH. A not so ordinary story of Underworld. P.S. I do not own this cover just saw it onlin...
