Author's Note (The Villain Series 1)

Kabanata 9

"Hmm?"

"Wala. Ito si Adamas nanunulak," sumbong nito. Hinawakan nito ang mukha ni Logan nang mapansing nakasimangot ito. "Anong nangyari sa 'yo? Ba't parang ikaw pa ang nagmukhang sinampal ni Adamas?"

Adamas chuckled while listening to them. Unti-unti nang nawawala ang kakaibang emosyong lumalamon kay Logan. But not totally. It was still there. But because of the woman's presence, it concealed those by replacing it with another strong emotion.

One strong emotion he was most familiar with.

Is this the human's favorite feeling? He wondered because he had also saw this from her Noa. All the time. From all her dumps.

Adamas paused when he felt a familiar aura lingering around the street. An aura similar to him. 

Kaagad siyang lumingon sa direksyon ng kalsada at hinanap ng mga mata ang kauri niya.

Hindi siya puwedeng magkamali. The aura he felt was from a fictional character like him.

"Adamas?" tawag ni Goniettta sa kaniya pero hindi siya nakinig.

Napako ang mga mata niya sa lalaking nakaluhod sa kabilang bahagi ng kalsada na para bang may kinukuha sa nakabukas na metal bars ng drainage. Nakasuot ito ng laboratory gown at sa katabi nito may bat na nakalagay.

Cretaceous?

Patakbo siyang tumawid sa kalsada upang puntahan ang lalaki. Rinig niya ang tawag ng dalawang kasama pero hindi niya iyon pinansin.

'Go back home. Susunod ako mamaya.' He delivered them a message through his thin threads.

"Cretaceous!" muli niyang tawag sa lalaki nang makasigurong tama nga ang hinala niya.

The man turned to look at him. Pinilig nito ang ulo na para bang nag-iisip kung sino siya. Ilang saglit, napanganga ito at kaagad na sinalubong siya ng yakap.

"Adamas! What a timing! Kailangan kita ngayon!" Humiwalay ito sa yakap at tinuro ang drainage. "There's a Felis catus stranded under that. Will you help me get him out, my dearest species friend? Hindi ko kasi maabot."

"Of course." Ginamit niya ang kaniyang mga sinulid upang kunin ang pusa na nasa ilalim. He lessen the thickness of his threads, like that of his messenger threads, to make it not very visible.

Cretaceous was also one of the villains from the top ten popularity rank. They had quite the similarity when it comes to their murderous side, and that what made them in accordance to the point they became friends.

"Here's your cat." Isang basang pusa ang nakuha ng kaniyang mga sinulid. Inabot niya ito kay Cretaceous na mabilis naman nitong tinanggap. Hindi nito inisip na madudumihan ang maputi nitong gown at niyakap ang pusa.

"Poor you. But no worry, you are in my care now. Simulan nating parusahan ang may gawa sa 'yo nito mamaya after I clean you, okay?" Cretaceous kissed the cat.

He smiled at the man. "I didn't expect to see you here. It seems that I am not the only one who got out from Fictosa."

"Correct! The other villains are here too." Kinuha ni Cretaceous ang baseball bat. "You got a new outfit kaya hindi kita nakilala agad. Where do you get that?"

"From my reader."

"A human, huh?" Napasingkit ang mga mata nito.

"He is not what you think."

"I don't believe you. Humans are all the same. They are cruel and deserving to die." He shrugged. "But anyway, do you want to see them? Looking at you right now, it seemed that you have a lot of confusions."
