"What did you f*cking do to me, CRAYTON?!" dumagondong ang walang emosyon at nagyeyelong boses ko sa buong paligid.
Saglit itong napahinto at medyo humarap sa'kin. He's now wearing a mocking smile. "Tsk, now playing innocent, huh? Nice try, but your dirty tricks won't work on me." tapos umiling ito.
Lihim akong napatiim bagang sa pinagsasabi nito pero hindi ko pinahalata at naglakad papalapit dito. Hindi ko inalis ang mga tingin ko dito at ganun din ito hanggang sa magkapantay na kami. Hindi ko hahayaang tapakan nito ang pride ko.
"I don't care what you think about me, but remember this..." then I smirk, "Worst than hell will come after you" tapos umalis na ko.
Hindi ko na kayang makataggal na kasama ito dahil hindi ko na mapigilan ang sarili ko.

ONE WEEK LATER
Since our last encounter at Moscow, I and Cray haven't spoken then. Minsan na lang din ako pumupunta sa Bachelor Empire kung may importanteng meeting lang. Bukod pa duon, nitong huling linggo madalas akong tumambay sa Domos Haidou na tulad ngayon.
I was enjoying my favorite relaxation ritual when I heard footsteps entering my sanctuary. Nasa pinakailalim ito ng Domos Haidou at tatlong tao lang ang nakakaalam ng lugar na ito.
"Tsk, like I've thought." sabi ng isang malamig na boses.
Unti unti kong dinilat ang mga mata ko at nakita ang isang lalaking matiim na nakatingin sa'kin pero bingyan ko lang ito ng isang ngisi, "Xydex, what a pleasant surprise."
"I didn't know you still using this filthy place" seryosong sabi nito at halata sa itsura nito ang pagdis-gusto.
I stood up from the bathtub only wearing two piece bikini and step outside it and started to walk towards him, while the blood drips all over my body, then stop in front of him.
"My body's craving for it...and it's been a long time since I have a bloodbath." nakangising sabi ko dito.
Yes, a bloodbath. Ang laman ng tub na hinihigaan ko kanina ay hindi tubig na may mga bubbles at kung anu-ano pa kundi dugo ng mga taong pinaslang ko kanikanina lang.
"Tell me you didn't do some reckless killing, do you?" Xydex habang tinutulungan nito akong isuot yung robe ko.
Humarap ako dito ng matapos kong itali yung bathrobe ko, "Don't worry, they're just some rats who have the guts to infiltrate my playground." tapos nagsimula na kong maglakad paalis ng sanctuary at ramdam ko naman ang pagsunod nito.

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...
