Midnight Angels: The War

Chapter 47

"Hey, do you really think dreams come true?" Tanong ni Archer kaya tumingin naman si Reed sa kanya.

"Tungkol parin ba 'to sa panaginip ni Celise nung gabing 'yun?" He asked. Tumango naman si Archer bilang sagot. Reed breathed out and shrugged his shoulders. "Hindi lahat." Tipid niyang sagot at tiningnan si Audin na bigla nalang nadapa kaya tumingin si Lucas sa kanya.

"Naglalakad ka na nga lang, madadapa ka pa?" Tanong ni Lucas sa kanya.

"Hmp! Sungit!" Sigaw rin ni Audin at tsaka tumayo at naglakad muli.

"Zia saved me that night, right?" Archer asked, referring to how Zia made Uno stop his plans to attack. Hindi nakasagot si Reed at tumingin muna kay Shinshi. He looked at her and flicked his tongue. "She saved her too." Aniya.

Kumunot ang noo ni Archer dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Pati si Wilder." Dagdag ni Reed.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Tanong ni Archer sa kanya.

"I had a hint of Uno's plan or should I say, Zia had a hint. Uno was going to use two of our siblings to shift into wolves and mark Shinshi. At alam kong alam mo na kung anong ibig-sabihin kapag pwersahang minarkahan ang isang wolf. If Zia didn't stop Uno's attacks, Shinshi would've been marked by my siblings and if she did, Wilder will have a paradidomi." Pagpapaliwanag ni Reed at hindi niya namalayang napalakas pala ang boses niya kaya saglit siyang natigilan nung malamang nakatingin pala ang lahat sa kanya.

Pati sina Wilder na kararating lang ay narinig ang sinabi niya.

"What?" Nauutal na tanong ni Shinshi at dahan-dahang tumayo. Reed just breathed out.

"Yes, that was one of Uno's original plans that night. Buti nalang hindi niya tinuloy." Sagot ni Reed at dahan-dahan nang lumapit sa kanya ang team.

"Wait, that was Zia's hint. Paano mo nalaman? Sinabi niya sa 'yo?" Tanong ni Archer sa kanya at mahina nalang natawa si Reed.

"You guys always forget that we were bounded ever since we were born. What she thinks, I know." Nakangiting sagot ni Reed at sinadyang tingnan si Blu na nakatingin ng diretso sa kanya.

"How does that make you feel, Van Saint? It seems like I have a better connection with her than you do." Reed said, trying to taunt him. Saglit na yumuko si Blu pero bigla nalang umangat ang tingin niya kay Reed at may nakakalokong ngiti sa labi niya.

"It doesn't really bother me, Reed. She's already mine." Blu said, wearing a sneaky grin on his face that none of them are used to seeing.

"Just because she asked you to sleep with her? But you didn't even do anything, Van Saint. Masyado kang takot." Nakangising sabi ni Reed at dahan-dahan nang tumayo. Agad na kumunot ang noo ni Lucas at tiningnan si Blu na mas lumawak ang ngiti sa labi niya.

"I wasn't afraid. I was being respectful." Sagot niya.

Audin immediately crossed his own wall and went on to read Blu's mind. Kumunot pa ang noo niya habang ginagawa niya ito and after seeing flashes from his memory, Audin fell on the ground. Too shocked and traumatized.

"Nani?!" Naguguluhan niyang tanong habang turo-turo pa si Blu.

"Bastos! Ang bastos niyo! Isusumbong ko kayo kay King Jun!" Sigaw ni Audin habang tumatakbo palabas ng training site. Agad na kinuwelyuhan ni Lucas si Blu at galit itong tiningnan.
