Napapikit ako, all my hopes were suddenly crushed. Does this means my parents are really dead. Sino ba siya, is he dad's twin--
"Let me stop what you're thinking my little demon." napalingon ako sa kanya na para bang nababasa niya ang nasa isip ko.
"Ivanno Furuyuki, the man you call your father is not dead." natigilan ako doon, it's been so long since I've heard that name, iyon ang pangalan nang ama ko and that's the reason I insisted in using that surname sa pagpasok ko sa paaralan. Biglang akong nabuhayan nang loob sa sinabi niya, does that mean--.
"It's simply because he does not exist. " bigla akong napasigaw nang itarak niya ang punyal sa balikat ko.
"The parents you wanted to avenge does not exist. " isa nanamang hiyaw ang lumabas sa aking bibig nang sinaksak naman niya ako sa kabilang balikat.
"..n..not t..true." Sa kabila nang sakit ay pinilit kong magsalita. It can't be true, Impossible iyon. He is just saying that to put me to insanity, to bring more pain.
"Oh but it is, everything was perfect. All it took was 5 years of waiting and my investment paid off, I had my own personal killing machine."
I eyed him with confusion and pain.
"Everything was a lie darling, I planned it all out, I had seen so much potential in you, all I need was a tragic incident to trigger the demon in you. An incurable wound too painful enough to forget and keep the hate fire going." Lumapit pa siya sa akin. " In other words, it was all an act, and that guy right there... " turo nito kay Dante. "...was a part of it. Too bad for Katarina though, the woman you called your mother, it turns out she had a soft spot for you so I got her killed. I can't risk it after all. "
Biglang kumirot ang sugat ko sa pisngi, these fucking tears are once again flowing from my eyes continuously.
"Why are you crying? You should be thanking me, you've become strong. If it wasn't for me, you'll just be another weak bratty mafia heiress just like them" turo nila kina Brianna na hanggang ngayon ay umiiyak at pilit sumisiksik kina Angelo. Napatingin ako sa kanila, to those three stooges, another pain striked through my heart. Is it me or I could see concern in their eyes. I continued gazing into them nang masink in sa utak ko ang sinabi ni Tsushima kaya agad akong napabaling sa kanya.
"Haruka, haruka, you naive little girl, you didn't even think about why I appeared at your doorstep the day your so called parents were 'murdered' and blamed it to the Imperial mafia." I heard collective gasps from the bunch. " Children are so easily manipulated, you were too blinded by revenge."
"....f..uck...y...you...."
"Haha, talk all you want. You know, all was really going well, if you just had stuck to your revenge and get on with killing every one on the Imperial mafia, I would've consider not killing you. Too bad, curiosity got the best of you. "
I didn't give a fuck at what he's saying. Nakayuko lang ako. Pabalik balik ang tanong sa sarili.
Who am I, who the fuck am I?!
"It would've made a great plan you know. Training you to be a killing demon then feeding you lies to kill the Imperial mafia clan. I wonder what would've they feel when their own little mafia heiress would be the one to kill them all. "
Napaangat ako nang ulo at napatingin sa kanya.
"Yes darling. You're the one and only daughter of Aurora and Lucca Leferius, my dear little mafia heiress."
Muli na nanaman akong napahiyaw sa sakit. He had stabbed my thigh.
But apart of that, I'm quite appalled by his words. Di ko alam kung papaniwalaan ko iyon o hindi.
Right now, I was wishing I could die. The pain, di ko na kaya. It hurts everywhere. My body, my heart and now I'm beginning to question my sanity.
I feel helpless. Tumatawa si Tsushima but it hurts too much to care.
Lahat nang tunog na naririnig ko, it quite really didn't reach my mind.
"Tsushima Otokawa, you fucking bastard." isang baritonong boses ang narinig ko pero nanatili parin akong nakayuko.
I wondered what was I suppose to be if I was not the dark demon, if I wasn't caged in a world full of lies. , I would've been just like any other student na namomroblema sa mga projects and assignments. Attending sleepovers or parties.
"If it isn't Lucca Leferius. So you finally came, I'm guessing you've heard our little conversation."
Wala akong narinig na tugon mula dito. Nanatili parin akong nakayuko, I could feel a pair of eyes on me but I did not seem to care about my surroundings. I was too consumed on my own insanity.
Ilan na bang tao ang napatay ko, Do they have families waiting for them at home? . How could I smile as I stare into their lifeless eyes.
"You bastard, you heartless son of a bitch! "
How many people begged for my mercy but I killed them anyway? Am I really that heartless?
"Hahaha, that's what you get for messing with me Lucca!"
I am a monster, how could I have ended like this. Their screams, their cries, every single one of them, it's all coming back in my head.
"I didn't do anything wrong to you! "
I'm pathetic.
"Damn it, you killed my wife!"
I'm weak.
"She brought it on herself when she tried to harm my family."
Trash.
"It doesn't matter now, I've got my revenge, you killed mine, I had killed yours."
"No! My wife died in a ...."
"Car accident and fell of a cliff along with your 1 year old daughter whose body was never found. A week after that, you're whole clan was massacred" nanunudyo nitong pahayag.
"That's enough, let her go!"
"And why do you think I would do that. "
Nakarinig ako nang pagkasa nang baril.
"Uulitin ko, LET. HER. GO. NOW."
"You're saying bullshit Lucca. I have the upper hand here and you forgot one tiny little detail..."
"Us." sabay rinig nang pagkasa nanaman ng baril.
My ribs are screaming in pain pero sinikap kong huminga nang malalim and gathered up all my strength and finally lifted my head.
Tsushima is calmly standing beside me. I shifted my gaze somewhere else at napunta iyon kay Lucca na nakatutok ang baril kay Tsushima pero sa likod niya ay tinutukan din siya nang baril nina Kairo at Dante.
Tumawa si Tsushima. " You're a weak man Lucca, look where it got you. Now you're gonna watch every single kid here die and then you'll be next---."
Naagaw ang pansin ng lahat ng isa isang nagsibagsakan ang mga tauhang ni Tsushima na nakabantay sa silid.
"Sorry, pero wala pa kaming balak mamatay!"biglang pahayag ni Ianna
Nabaling ang atensiyon nang lahat sa kanila. Nakawala na silang lahat sa pagkakatali nila at may hawak nang dalawang baril na may silencer si Ianna T ngayo'y nakakatutok na kay Tsushima.
Gumihit sa mukha nito ang pagkabigla.
"H..how did you..u.." Napailing siya. "It doesn't matter, I have my men outside ready to splatter your brains at my command!" halos pasigaw nitong sabi but another surprise shook him nan biglang pinatumba ni Kairo si Dante at dinambahan. Pinaputukan din niya ang mga tauhang nakapaligid hanggang natumba ang lahat. The poor guy was struggling then Kairo shut him up with a bullet to his head.
Hinagilap ko kung may maramdaman ba akong pag alala sa kanya but after that revelation, I felt none. He is just as heartless as his boss, bagay lang iyon sa kanya.
"I'm afraid that it it won't happen Otokawa. You see, I may have miscalculated. She took down two dozen of your men not just two." sabi ni Kairo.
"You traitor! You fucking bastard!" he shouted in frustration.
"Pasensiya na, walang personalan trabaho lamang." sabi ni Kairo na nakangisi.
"No, this can't be! I won't let it end here."
Before I knew it, bigla niyang hinugot ang punyal sa balikat ko at itinutok sa leeg ko.
Malakas akong napahiyaw sa sakit. I could feel blood rushing out of my wound.
"Go ahead, shoot me. But before that bullet hits me, I'll make sure to slit her throat first."
Diniin niya ang punyal sa leeg ko. I could feel blood flowing from it.
"What will you do now Lucca? You're finally reunited with your daughter but it looks like it's gonna end here. " sabi nito tsaka tumawa.
Nagsisimula nang umikot ang paningin ko kaya napapikit nalang ako nang mata. Nahihilo na ako dahil marami nang nawalang dugo sa katawan ko.
My heartbeat was beating erratically.
Tahimik ang buong paligid until a loud gun shot was heard.
Everything happened so fast. I can feel my consciousness slowly fading.
I hear faint footsteps papunta sa akin. I could feel soft caresses on my hair and cheeks. I could hear soft murmurs but all of them feels incoherent.
"Don't worry love, daddy's here." dinig kong sabi nang nasa harap ko.
Sinikap kong imulat ang mga mata ko and I could see Lucca kneeling in front of me, crying. He murmuring something pero wala akong makuha, everything sounds like echo now.
Napaisip ako sa sarili ko, at least I could die happy now, knowing that I've known my real father.
I managed to force a smile hanggang sa unti unti nang bumigat ang aking talukap.
I am Haruka and I'm the Legendary Dark Demon .I am ruthless, I am rude, I am mean, I am of many things pero as I looked back a few months to now, from the day I went to that school hanggang sa ngayon, narealize kong I'm no longer cold and heartless. I have a heart and it's filled with many emotions too many to comprehend right now .
I felt a single tear dropped from my eyes and then everything numbed away. I felt nothing as I drifted off to darkness.
Satan better be ready to greet me now 'cause I'm going to take his throne.
