I woke up in a familiar looking room
My room
Not the room in the Aces' house but my room in my own house
"M-miss Morgan"
"Shiana"
Tinulungan niya naman akong makaupo sa kama ko. I even felt pain at the left part of my neck
"Why am I here?"
"Hindi ko po alam. Sir Morgan just dropped you here. Ngayon lang ako nakapasok"
I tried remembering what happened. I've got three gunshots. Chineck ko naman ang katawan ko
Wait, I don't even have a wound. Nangyari ba talaga yun o nananaginip lang ako?
Kasi kung panaginip yun, why does it feels so real?
Napahawak nanaman ako sa leeg ko nang maramdaman kong kumirot yun
Dad just appeared in front of us. Hindi ko man lang namalayan na nandito na siya
That's why I don't want to go against his will. If you can't hear a person's footsteps, then it means he's dangerous
"Shiana, can we have some privacy?"
Nag bow lang si Shi at umalis din agad sa kwarto ko. Kaming dalawa na lang ni dad ang naiwan dito sa kwarto ko
"How do you feel?"
"I'm totally fine except for the fact that I'm confused. Anong nangyari?"
Umupo lang siya sa gilid ng kama ko kaya umurong ako ng onti palayo sa kaniya
"I know you're confused, but try to remember"
I tried remembering what happened. The auction, the mission, the chaos
"Dad, tell me. Baliw na ba ako?"
"Ha?"
"I think my mind is playing with me. I just saw an effin vampire and wolf. Ni hindi ko nga alam kung totoo ba yun o panaginip ko lang"
He just chuckled and caressed my hair softly
"Hindi pa ba sapat na ebidensya yang sugat mo sa leeg?"
"Ha?"
Kinuha niya yung maliit na mirror na nasa lamesa ko at itinapat sa akin. I just saw my neck with two marks...
"Those are bite marks by the great vampire... Blue Vendrict"
"You're kidding"
"I am not. May gun shot marks ka bang nakikita sa katawan mo? If none, then that's the effect of a bite. It can heal your wounds"
"No way"

-Jace-
"Babalik pa kaya yun"
"Hala ka Ayen, baka hindi na yun babalik"
"Tama na nga yan Eiden"
"Ang sensitive mo Volt, inaasar ko lang naman si Ayen. Yang si Blue at Alpha pagsabihan mo"
Tinitigan ko lang silang lahat habang nakaupo ako sa gilid
Chaotic members, and all of us... Are still worried
It's been three days since that incident happened
Three days na ring walang imik si Alpha at Blue
Three day na rin silang naging utusan dito sa mansion, at three days na rin akong hindi nakakarinig ng reklamo galing sa kanila
All because of that incident
"Jace, stop spacing out"
Napatigil ako... Why? Where?
"I'm coming home"
Napatayo naman agad ako at kitang kita ko pa kung paano gumulong yung phone ko sa carpet
I knew it, It's Dione
Pero paano? Or she already knew?
"Guys, clean up. Uuwi na si Dione"
———♠️———
-Dione-
"Tapos na?"
"Yes dad"
Nginitian niya lang ako at naglapag ng lunch box sa tapat ko
"Seriously? Do I look like an elementary child to you?"
"Bakit? Take it pumpkin. Ngayon lang babawi si Dad sayo. Remember, di kita napapabaunan ng lunch noon"
I just started at him blankly. Siguro nga tumatanda na siya
"Dad, ipapaalala ko lang sayo na nag homeschooling ako since kindergarten kaya di mo ako napapa baunan ng lunch"
Napakamot na lang siya sa batok niya. Maybe he just realized it now
"Sige na, aalis na ako"
"Okay sweetie. Your mission okay?"
"Yeah, see you soon old man"
Umalis na ako sa office niya pagkatapos ko magpaalam dahil ayoko nang marinig ang reklamo niya sa pagtawag ko sa kaniya ng 'old man'
Hindi niya ba matanggap na matanda na siya?
Anyways, my new mission
Find out what creature are the remaining six
Actually five
Nadulas si dad kanina at nasabi niya kung ano si Jace. Hindi pa rin nag sisink in sa akin na may vampire at wolf sa team
Tapos malalaman ko na guardian of realms si Jace
Am I in sort of Fantasy movie or what? Akala ko sa mga movies and stories lang nag eexist ang mga creatures na nabanggit ko
I didn't know that they really exist... And those creatures are in my team
"Miss Morgan"
Napatigil ako sa paglalakad nang tawagin ako ni Shiana
"Please bring this with you. Pinapersonalize ko na po. Advanced happy birthday Miss Morgan"
I didn't know why I smiled. Simula ata nung nakilala ko yung walo, napapadalas na yung pagngiti ko
Maski si Shiana ay nagulat sa nakita niya
"Thanks for this Shi"
———♠️———
Bumungad agad yung anim na lalake sa tapat ng pinto ng mansion nung makarating ako
Mukha silang pulubi na naghihintay ng maghuhulog ng barya sa harap nila
Bumaba naman ako sa sasakyan kaya lahat sila ay napatayo. Si Ayen naman tumakbo agad at lumapit sa akin
"D-Dione"
"Hmm?"
Hinintay ko na may sabihin sila pero walang umimik. Silence just covered us
And that time, I looked at Volt who's smiling at me
"Welcome Home"
And I just smiled back. Which made them calm down a little
"I'm home"
