Blood of the Last Heir

Secret 11: Four

KYLE

"Guys..." usal ko nang makarating ako ng Angel's Trumphet. Napatingin agad sina Dean, Tris at Finn pagkarating ko. They were about to greet me when they realized I'm bruised and is currently carrying Raine in my arms.

"What the fuck?" bulalas ni Dean at kinuha sa bisig ko si Raine. Her hetochromic eyes widened when she noticed blood oozing from her head. Nilapag niya agad si Raine sa sofa at inabot ang First Aid Kit na nasa ilalim ng Coffee Table.

Lumapit naman sa akin si Finn.

"Kyle, what happened?" tanong nito at inalalayan akong umupo

Huminga ako nang malalim habang inaabot niya ang bulak at alcohol sa First Aid Kit.

"I don't have an idea. Ang alter ego ko na si Felicity ang kasama niya." saad ko. Umupo rin sa tabi ko si Tris at tinignan ang kalagayan ko.

"Then, we should ask Clandestine herself para malaman ang nangyari." saad niya at in-examine ang braso ko.

"Considering your outfit and some dirt, and knowing Felicity, nanggaling kayo sa Drag Racing. Jeez. You two have been in hot water." saad nya at lumingon sa walang malay na si Clandestine na kasalukuyang ginagamot ni Dean.

"But I'm impressed na nagtagal nang halos ilang oras si Felicity kasama si Clandestine." dagdag niya. Napakamot ako ng pisngi ko at nagtaka rin. 

Malamang, may nangyari na ayaw ipaalam sa akin ni Felicity kaya hindi niya ako hinayaang gamitin ang katawan ko kanina. Felicity gets bored easily if something doesn't pique her interest. Ano kayang nakita niya kay Raine? 

"Good thing the bruise is not that fatal as it looks." Dean said and shook her hands. Tumayo na siya at umupo sa may bandang paanan ni Raine. Her mismatched eyes are blank but a hint of sadness is visible just by looking at Raine. This sight is quite rare. Minsan ko lang makitang ganito mag-alala ang playgirl naming atleta na si Dean Margaux Gonzales.

"Any updates from last night?" tanong nito at tsaka lumingon sa amin. Tris budged me gently in the elbow, gesturing me to speak up. I cleared my throat.

"Unfortunately, our plan is foiled because of Mackenzie and Raine's involvement last night. On the positive side, the auction is a trap. Nabalitaan ko na may mga sumabak na Assassins doon at ninakaw lahat ng items na ibebenta sana sa nasabing auction." pagsisimula ko. 

"Am I only the one who's thinking that all of these are not a coincidence?" sabat ni Tris pagkatapos kong magsalita. Her other hand is on her pocket while the other is holding her chin, a means that she's probably thinking of something related to the topic.

"Suspicions have become a fact of life. Shoot." muttered Dean and leaned forward. Her inquisitive gaze are focused on Tris while her crossed fingers lie between her thighs. 

"The things is, if we did attend the auction last night, there is a an 80% probability that we are cold and lifeless bodies as we speak right now." said Tris. Napadekwatro naman ako at napatupi ang braso sa aking dibdib. I cannot ignore her statements since may sense namang talaga.

"You got a point," I darted Dean a glance when she started to speak. "But they're just buying something at the Convenience Store. Wala silang kinalaman dito. Baka nagkataon lang!"she added.

"Maybe. Maybe not." Tris said and looked scornfully at Dean using her faded grey eyes while a smirk formed at her cinnamon-colored lips. Nahalata ko ang pagdaan ng inis sa mukha ni Dean dahil sa tinuran ni Tris pero nakabawi siya agad at umiling.

"You know what? Enough with the suspicions and let's focus to the main issue. Hindi magugustuhan ng mga tao sa Faction natin ang nangyari ngayon." singit ni Finn. Napabuga ako ng hangin.
