Midnight Angels: The War

Chapter 30

Zia's nose was still bleeding kaya nagpalit na ng anyo si Shinshi at tsaka nila sinakay si Zia sa likod nito at tsaka dinala sa office ng dean.

"We heard the news. About the poison." Tumingin lang si Xin kina Zeus. Team Alpha had reported themselves in Olympus at nakayuko lang 'yung iba habang nakikinig sa usapan nina Xin.

"What's your plan now? You obviously can't use her abilities anymore, looking at how her strength went down. It's not like Xy and the others can win a war without Zia." Poseidon said but Xin just narrowed her gaze at them.

"I thought you promised me something. When I declined to be one of you, akala ko sinabi niyo na hindi mauulit sa iba ang ginawa niyo sa akin? I agreed to be your tool, your weapon and your sole warrior back then. Why the hell are you doing this to my daughter again?!" Sigaw ni Xin.

She was even fazed that she was yelling to the gods. She was used to it.

"Point well taken, sweetie." Hades supported her words. Tumingin naman ang iba sa kanya.

"We agreed to not let it happen to your child, so, we did not pressure Xy. But the agreement was your child, not children. We picked Zia this time since she has potential." Nakangiting sabi ni Aphrodite kaya muntik nang sumugod si Xin dahil sa galit pero pinigilan na siya ni Seth.

"Why are you even called gods when you depend on us for the salvation of this realm?" Natatawang tanong ni Walter at umayos na ng tayo. He wasn't having any of their words today and upon hearing them lightly calling Zia as a weapon, he had enough.

The others thought so too.

"Zia is still a child! Gulong-gulo na ang isip niya at hindi na niya alam ang gagawin. And it's all because of this pressure you're giving her!" Galit na sabi ni Jun sa kanila. He had to speak up too. It was his daughter that they're talking about.

"A child? How is she going to grow up—"

"She will never get a chance to grow up because if you keep pressuring her like this, she'll die!" Mariing sabi ni Matthew at nakahalukipkip na tumingin sa kanila. Agad na natigilan sina Xin at tsaka tumingin kay Matthew na nakatingin lang sa baba.

"Her body, it won't function without the poison." Aniya kaya nanginig na ang labi ni Xin.

"W-What?" Nauutal niyang tanong kay Matthew at hinarap na ito. Kinuwelyuhan kaagad ni Jun si Matthew at pinatingin ito sa kanya. "Bakit wala kang sinabi tungkol dito? Why just tell us now?!" Pigil ang galit ni Jun habang tinatanong niya si Matthew.

"I want everyone to hear it. Para hindi na sila umasa kay Zia." Sagot niya. Hinila nalang nina Jayden at Wolfie si Jun palayo kay Matthew.

"Let's not bother pressuring Zia about this war anymore. She won't even make it 'til the war begins—" Sinuntok na ni Jun si Matthew sa harap nina Zeus. Agad na lumapit ang team sa kanila at pinaghiwalay silang dalawa.

"Bakit ba nagsasalita ka na parang mamamatay na talaga si Zia?! She'll live!" Galit na sigaw ni Jun habang napaupo nalang si Xin sa gilid kaya lumapit na si Wolfie sa kanya at tinulungan siyang tumayo.

"Her body won't survive without the poison! Kailangan kong sabihin ito dahil kung hindi, gigising nalang tayo at malalaman nating wala na si Zia. The only thing that can get her body to function again is if we put the damn poison back!" Galit na sigaw ni Matthew at tinulak na si Jun palayo.

Everything was absurd thinking that Zia can only be saved if the poison made its way back to Zia's body.

"Wala na ngang Hunter's poison!" Sigaw ni Walter sa dalawa.
