Kitsune Pledge Of Love

Kabanata 11 (I won't hide)

Dahil sa nangyari mas nag-uumapaw ang galit ni Duke Araya.

"Sige kung iyan ang nais mo prinsipe panahon na para makita nila ang nakakatawa mong anyo" wika ng duke sabay wasiwas ng tungkod nito saka pinatamaan ang kwintas ng prinsipe dahilan upang matanggal ang crystal.

But to their suprise nothing happened. Nilingon niya ang prinsipe.

"Wala na ang sumpa prinsipe" masaya niyang saad dito.

"Pero paano?"

"Hindi kaya dahil sa halik? Pero hindi na mahalaga iyon."

"Hindi maaari ito!" galit na wika ng duke.

Because she was facing the prince she did not notice the danger but before the duke could thrust his sword to her Rayden blocked it. Her eyes widened at what he did. She quickly run to him.

"Rayden, oh my god you're bleeding" pag-aalala niya rito.

"I can heal myself remember" he smiled, assuring her everything is fine.

"Sira ka ba, malalim ang sugat mo. You can't heal yourself idiot" naiiyak na siya habang tinitingnan ito.

"Napakawalanghiya mo talaga duke!" galit na wika ni Prince Hector then he order his guards to take the duke.

Pero biglang nagbago ang anyo ng duke. Naging halimaw ito. Winasak nito ang bawat madaanan. Even Mallow's arrows can't penetrate the body of the monster.

"Help me stand" ani Rayden.

"Why? Huwag mong sabihin na lalabanan mo ang halimaw na 'yan?"

"I have no choice or else all of us would be in danger."

"I can fight him."

"No way, Caia. You don't have your trident."

Doon niya naalala na iniwan niya nga pala sa kwarto ang trident.

"Pero––"

"Please Caia."

"Fine." Tinulungan niya itong makatayo.

"Umalis na kayo ng prinsipe rito, take Mallows with you."

She did what he instructed.

"Kaya ba ng kaibigan mo ang duke?" tanong ni Prinsipe Hector.

"He can but I'm not sure with his current situation."

"He can do it, Caia. Maniwala lang tayo sa kanya" ani Mallows.

Tama si Mallows. All they can do now is trust him.

"Dito lang kayo may kukunin lang ako sandali. Mallows, ikaw na muna ang bahala sa prinsipe."

Inangat niya ng bahagya ang gown para hindi siya mahirapan sa pagtakbo. Agad din naman niyang nakuha ang trident.

Palabas na siya nang masira ang sahig. She will fall. Damn. Ito na yata ang magiging katapusan niya.

"Ang ingay mo" saad ng isang boses. She open her eyes and saw Rayden carrying her.

"Rayden?"

"Idiot! Why are you here?"

"Kinuha ko ang trident hindi ko naman alam na katapat pala nitong bulwagan ang kwarto ko."

"Tsk. Aughh" he writhes in pain.

Ibinaba siya nito.

"Your wounds still bleeding. Baka maubusan ka ng dugo ah. Dugo ni Mallows ang ipapalit ko sayo" biro niya.

"Evil woman."

The monster is coming towards them.

"Hide Caia."

"I won't hide, Rayden. Tutulungan kita."

"I said I can....ugh!" holding his wounded stomach.

"See? Hindi mo na kaya."

With the help of her trident and Rayden's falcata they caused a great damage to the duke. Sabay nilang tinapos ang halimaw na anyo nito.

"Ang galing mo doon" Rayden said catching his breath.

"Of course, it's me."

Nakita niya na lang itong bumagsak. Dali-dali niyang binuksan ang damit nito. Damn, this fox is dying.

She shouted for help. Mabilis naman nalapatan ng lunas si Rayden. All they can do now is wait for him to wake up.

﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

Tinitigan niya si Rayden na hindi parin nagkakamalay. Huminto na rin ang pagdurugo ng tiyan nito. He saves her life twice this day. She might be seriously injured if it wasn't for him.

"Do you really need to play a hero? Do you think you're cool? Well, you're just a foolish kitsune" saad niya rito.

"Thanks for badmouthing me while I'm sleeping" ani Rayden and slowly opening his eyes.

"Mabuti naman gising ka na. I and Mallows are so worried."

"It's nothing, Caia."

They stay there for another day until Rayden's recovery.

"Caia, hindi mo na dapat ginagawa 'yan. He was only stab, his hands weren't cut" ani Mallows.

"Tumahimik ka ngang kuneho ka" bulyaw dito ni Rayden.

"Sus ang aminin mo nagseselos ka lang dahil pinagsilbihan ni Caia ang prinsipe kanina."

Totoo kayang nagseselos ito?

"Bakit naman ako magseselos? I and Caia were not a thing Mallows at isa pa si Anais lang ang mamahalin ko."

"But she's not here."

"Don't say that!" he said angrily.

Tumindig ito at iniwan sila.

"Mallows, hindi mo na dapat sinabi 'yon. Alam mo naman kung gaano kasensitive si Rayden pagdating kay Anais. Look what happened."

"Hanggang kailan siya magiging ganyan?"

She shrugged her shoulders dahil kahit siya hindi niya rin alam. It's been so long yet his heart only beats for Anais.
