Chapter Twenty
I am in deep sleep but I heard some weird noises. I ignored that but when I literally heard the footsteps coming, I immediately opened my eyes.
I am in shocked when I saw those traps are gone around. As in all of it! No tracks.
"W-who are you?! " I still have some guts to shout even though I can feel the pain in my whole body and I'm hungry too.
I can take all of that. It's just a piece of cake.
"Xeena... " It's dark and I guess, it's still im dawn that is why I can't see clearly who was calling me. But when she moved closer to me, I saw the innocent face of Freyia.
"Freyia, what are you doing here?! You thick face! After what you did? I know you're at fault! " I shouted.
"… " She didn't answer me and just looked at me.
She really did it.
How dare her!
"Y-you! W-why did you d-do that? " I can't help myself but to cry.
"I'm sorry... " She whispered. "I did it on purpose. This is for your safety. " She kissed my forehead gently.
"Happy birthday, Xeena. Wish me luck. "
* * *
Almost sunrise when the heads decided us to get back. They helped us to walk until we came in the front door.
"I can walk now. Take him to his room, carefully, " I said.
They nod.
I started walking in the hallway and I'm thinking what would I do next. And, I'm thinking on how can I clean myself for now especially I have deep wounds. It will be more painful.
I am still at the hallway when I feel my hunger again. Maybe I can eat now?
Suddenly, the high-ranked agents rushed towards my side and it piqued my curiosity especially when I saw them running at the heads offices.
My forehead knelt.
What is that?
Is something wrong?
Because of that, I walked to the place where they're from. But, when I reached the cafeteria, my eyes literally widened when the other agents just like me are all lying on the floor with opened mouth and has some bubbles on it.
No way!
This will be lost of agents!
And all of them got poisoned!
But who did it?
I was able to roam the whole area when I saw someone is standing in the middle. She slowly turning her front on me until I saw her clearly.
And I just realized it is my sister, Freyia.
She raised her left hand and with the right, she's holding a knife.
She made a scratch on her left hand and let the blood run in the floor.
What the...
After that, she's gone like a whirlwind.
* * *
After what happened, I never saw my sister, Freyia again. I mean, she really hid herself from me. Even my bestfriend. But I know they're still communicating, Klein and Freyia. It's like they're hiding something.
Hay.
Even my dearest friend, I can't trust him that much.
I might be worst in the future if I did.
That is why I'm always with Celestina now. And just like what I said, she's in my room now. She's busy writing something.
"And then? " She said.
"The next day, the heads untied us and of course, I got hungry but the agents who passed by in my front ran so I got curious and ran from where thet came and I saw Freyia standing in the middle and she did something. After that, she made a scratch on her hand and let the blood run on the floor and it's really ridiculous! " I taled to my cousin.
I also shooked my head when remembering that scenario in my mind. And, I forgot to say that I didn't eat after that incident. Who knows? What if the food that they will prepare for me has a poison too and I'll die. That would be bad for me. I'm still gonna kill H.
I took a deep breath before looking at my cousin.
But, I became mad when I saw her doing her things and looks like she didn't even heard what I said.
"Tina! Are you listening?! " I shouted.
"W-what?!! Calm down! I'm studying! " She said.
"I'm telling a very important story here! Respect! Respect, okay? Respect! " I said while emphasizing the word "respect".
"There's nothing interesting in your story, Xeena. Tsk, I'm studying and I said you should eye your sister. She's doing something bad and it already reach in the heads. Just one more report of that, she'll end up like you but the punishment is more cruel, " she said.
"Really? I just said she's doing a ritual. And please, don't you ever slap on my face that you're freaking free, okay? I'll freaking kill you. "
"I'm studying. You should be nice starting today, change your life so you can be one of us, heads and then we'll study together. "
"I'm doing my missions properly, okay? It's just that someone always sabotage me... " I whispered.
"Whatever you say. I was able to nominate you since all of the heads are debating you but well, you did something wrong just this days! So, we cancelled it. That's freaking a good opportunity for you. You'll be free like a bird. "
I just shooked my head on her.
Unlike us, agents who summoned by missions. Our heads can freely go out and get back here as long as they want since they're our leaders. Es Sorores didn't eyeeing them also so that's why Tina wants me to become a head. I can freely do whatever I wanted to do in that.
But, that would be impossible for me to become a head. I want a calm life. If I become a head, it's worst and… messy.
"I don't want to. Back to the topic, just like what I said, I saw Freyia, my sister doing a ritual! " I really did to shout that at her face to she clearly hear it.
"Wait, what?! Why you didn't tell me?"
"I already told you but you're not listening! "
"Tsk, so then what kind of ritual is that? "
"Loyalty… "
"Seriously? "
"Yes. "
"The loyalty ritual is done in some mafia group especially when you're a member of it. This is also done when you're in Bruse. How come Freyia did it? " She asked herself.
"Maybe, she's part of it? " I said without knowing what did I told her. But when I realized that, my eyes widened and I stunt.
I-Is she?
"Hey, you have a point! "
"Tina! Did you remember what I said to you last time? That she said our missions to H? And their I discovered that H is the mafia leader of Bruse because we've been fought. They're also the one who took us in that freaking city! That is why my hand can't wait to hold a gun and rain them with bullets, " wika ko sa kay Tina
"But, we're still not sure. Who knows? Maybe she has a plan? "
"Are you defending her? "
"No. I mean, what if she has another plan? "
"And what is that? " I almost laugh. "To brag down Es Sorores? "
"Nope... "
"But promise, you'll help me, Tina. "
"Yes! And I'm the one who commands you, right? Don't command me. "
I stood up on my seat and went to my window. I closed my eyes and felt the cold breeze but refreshing wind. But it's kinda disgusting because I can also smell the soil. Err.
"Okay. But, do you have plans? " I asked her while my attention is in the forest.
"I have on my mind but not still sure. I'll tell you when I'm done. Es Sorores is also facing a big problem and we're busy on that. "
I nod while my eyes is exploring the forest.
All trees, tall trees, green trees. Starting today, this is the only thing that I can see. I can't come back to that city again. This is really my home. I'm just lost last time. And, Bruse at fault. And someday, I'm gonna be the one who'll place a bomb on their HQ and let it explode.
I promise that.
