Flare

I grabbed his wrist and pushed him over the wall, and in a split second, the surroundings changed. I teleported ourselves in the abandoned room, a place where nobody would expect us to be here.

"Never seen you around here," I mumbled. Lumapit ako sa gawi niya't napangisi ako nang makitang may nakausling munting kulay asul na balahibo sa balikat niya. "Turns out you pretended to be an animal. Less problematic, ayt?" Nanatili siyang nakasandal sa pader habang nakayuko.

"Is Canaan Sparrow your accomplice?" Hindi na naman siya sumagot kaya naigulong ko na lang ang mata ko.

I really thought it was Canaan Sparrow. I never thought he's actually the parrot. Who the heck would expect that animal is a human being?

"Ain't gonna talk?" pagtawag ko ng pansin sa kaniya. Pinagkrus ko ang braso ko't nagsimulang humakbang papalapit sa kaniya.

I just need to have contact with his eyes and I'll know his name for sure.

"Look at me." utos ko. His lips formed into a smile. He then took off the hood of his cloak and look straight into my eyes.

I stared at him. He has this thick brows and fair skin. Hazel pair of eyes and berry lips. Strong structure of jawline and a dimple on his left cheek. He looks innocent and harmless.

"I'm Eagan Thornton." he said in his baritone voice. I can't be mistaken, I know that voice very well.

Eagan?

Wasn't that the name of the man Yeal had a conversation with? Are they the same person or it's just a matter of coincidence?

Even so, their voice is not the same. It couldn't be him or it could be him too.

"Smooth," I sneered. "Is that your real name?" nakangisi kong tanong. For a guy like him who needs to hide, he introduced his name.

"Yes, m'lady." Napataas ang kilay ko nang magbago ang tono ng pananalita niya. My eyes widened when he sounded like the guy who talked with Yael.

His casual voice just turned into a very formal one. l remembered him saying Yael was the Spirit Tribe's prince. His voice was formal back then, maybe that's why I didn't recognized him.

Does that mean they both know each other and they are in to this? But why is he being formal with me?

"Eagan, what do you know about the Carson a decade ago?" diretso kong tanong sa kaniya. He just stared at me, like he was constructing the sentence of the words he's about to say.

"The Carson was a revenge. It's a warning that they should prepare for his revenge." Mas lalong nagkasalubong ang kilay ko.

His revenge?

"Who's he? Give me his name. Because of him my foster mom died! Ang tanging tao na umaruga sa akin matapos akong abandonahin ng mga magulang ko ay namatay dahil sa paghihiganti niya!" Nagtatagis bagang kong sigaw. My jaw's clenching, ang I balled my fist.

"They did not abandoned you." Mas lalo lang nadagdagan ang galit ko sa sinabi niya. I scoffed, and glared at him.

"What do you know? You don't know what I've been through. You don't know anything about me." I spat at him. He shook his head and step closer.

"Believe me, I know better than you do. Trust me when I say your parents did not abandoned you." I laughed at him sarcastically.

"You are the one who planned the assassination, didn't you? So tell me, how can I trust you?" Hindi siya nakasagot. Of course I was right.
