Midnight Angels: The War

Chapter 10

Dior, their eldest female cousins, the foxy one, threw pillows at Deval and Dash to shut them up.

"That question is private. Shut up both of you and go find some girls to kiss para hindi na kayo magtanong kung anong feeling nun." Suway niya sa dalawa na pareho lang natawa.

"Oh, come on, Ate Dior. You know what we're talking about. He kissed the daughter of the great Xinny Muirgen! He kissed Zia Muirgen. That's a jackpot!" Parang baliw na sabi ni Deval kaya tiningnan lang siya ng masama ng mga pinsan niya.

"Iba talaga kapag si Dimitri. Buti nga sa 'yo ikakasal ka na." Sabi ni Dash. Blu was silent as always but he was always listening. "Selos ka lang kasi nabihag niya si Zia. Ikaw nga pati tindera sa cafeteria dun sa academy natin, hindi ka pinapansin." Dumbat ni Dalton kay Dash na agad namang tumingin sa kanya.

"Hey! I have high standards! Hindi ako pumapatol sa tindera. Papatayin ako ni Mommy. At tsaka, I'm Dash Van Saint. I deserve better." Napairap lang ang mga pinsan niya dahil sa sinabi niya at mahina lang natawa si Blu.

"Oo nga pala. Prepare yourself, Dimitri. Papunta raw sina Zia at ang team mo rito." Sabi ni Dior kaya agad na humigpit ang hawak ni Blu sa wine glass na nasa kamay niya. His cousins looked at him because they knew how he did not want any of them to come.

Napabuga nalang sila ng hangin.

"Sabi ko sa 'yo pupunta sila." Dorothy said.

"So, tuloy 'yung plano?" Biglang tanong ni Deval kaya kumunot naman ang noo ni Blu. "Anong plano?" Tanong ni Blu at nagkatinginan naman ang mga pinsan niya.

"Oh, nothing. We just want to shove Kharis out of the way so you could be alone with your one true love—ew, love." Agad na sabi ni Deval at mahina namang natawa ang mga pinsan niya sa kanya dahil sa huling sinabi niya. He is cheeky but he hated the sound of love.

"As if he'd have time with her. Reed and Lucas will be here too, you know." Sumulpot sa gilid ni Blu ang isang pinsan niya, silver hair, eyes that are the color of mixed red and orange, and the social one, Dawson. Napasapo nalang si Dash sa mukha niya.

"Bro, nakajackpot ka nga, ang dami mo namang kaagaw." Sabi ni Dash sa kanya.

"At isa pa, Tita wants Dimitri to be by Kharis side all night. How are we even going to execute the plan to get rid of Kharis?" Tanong ni Dawson at inakbayan si Blu. Blu and Dawson were almost the same height but Blu is still an inch taller than him.

Sasagot na sana si Deval nang bigla nalang nag-ingay ang mga tao sa paligid kaya tumayo sila at tumingin sa labas kung anong meron.

"It's them." What Dior said was short but it made Blu froze from where he was standing. They went out of the lounge at pumunta sa indoor terrace para mas makita ang pagpasok nina Zia.

Everyone around them was murmuring praises of how lucky they are to meet the royalties of Archia in person. Everyone praised the King's god-like features, so as the Queens. Some of them are also seeing the Princess of Archia for the first time.

"What? No guards?" Tanong ni Dash nung mapansin niyang walang mga rangers na sumama sa kanila. "They must be too confident with their defense, huh?" Tanong ni Damien pero mahina lang natawa si Dalton na naglalaro parin sa cellphone niya.

"Who needs rangers when you have a whole team with you?" Tanong ni Dalton at sumulyap lang saglit sa pagpasok nila pero agad na napako ang tingin niya sa kanila nung makita niya ang pagpasok ni Zia.
