Good Girl Gone Bad [MGGIGA BK2]

23 ♠Meeting Once Again♠

*ting*

Bumukas ang pintuan ng elevator at bumungad si Lyn sa floor kung saan nakadestino ang room ni Caitlyn at ni Freia. Mula sa kanyang kinatatayuan, kita nya ang Copycats na naghihintay sa harapan ng dorm nila Caitlyn at Freia, mukhang balisa at nag-aalala, maliban sa isa na kahit blangko ang mukha, makikita pa din na gusto nya ang mga nangyayari.

Clarisse. Lyn felt annoyance bubble in her.

She shook the annoyance away and started walking towards them.

Ng madinig ang kanyang mga yabag, sabay sabay na napalingon ang mga ito at agad na nanlaki ang mga mata.

"Caitlyn!"

"Where the hell have you been?"

Agad syang pinalibutan ng mga ito, maliban pa din kay Clarissa na mukhang dismayado ng makita sya. Lyn stared at her with unblinking teal eyes. Tumaas ang kilay ni Clarisse na tila ba na hinahamon sya. Lyn felt her lips twitch.

"Caitlyn. Ba't ka nawala at the same time with the Hunters? They kidnapped you, didn't they?" Nang hindi sya sumagot sa tanong ni Freia ay mas lalong umasim ang mukha nito. "I swear makakatikim saakin yung mga 'yun!" Zoe and Krista made a noise of agreement.

Dahan dahan, isang ngiti ang sumilay sa mga labi ni Lyn.

She forgot how protective Caitlyn's friends could get.

It's nice to know na hindi lang ako ang nag-iisang obsess sa kaligtasan ni Cate. Lyn's teal blue eyes lit up in glee.

Napatitig si Freia sa mukha ni Lyn, sa mukha ni Caitlyn. Tila ba ino-obserbahan nito ang bawat detalye ng kanyang mukha.

Hindi nya alam pero... Parang may mali. Parang may kakaiba kay Caitlyn. Her teal eyes doesn't look droopy and kind, it looked mischievous and cunning. Her smile doesn't look soft and gentle, it was playful and dangerous.

Mischievous. Cunning. Playful. Dangerous. It's all too familiar to Freia. Bahagyang nanlaki ang kanyang mata.

Lyn's smile widened when realization dawned on Freia. Alam nyang alam na nito na hindi naman talaga si Caitlyn ang kausap nila, pero sya. Si Lyn.

"Ibalik mo si Caitlyn." Mahinahon lamang ang tono ng pananalita ni Freia pero may diin ang bawat letra. Nagulat sina Krista at Zoe, maging si Clarisse. Hindi nila Kailangan maging genius para lang malaman kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng kanilang leader. Dahan dahang umatras sina Krista at Zoe kay Lyn, mababakas ang pagkabahala sa kanilang mga mukha, pati na din kay Clarisse na sinubukan itong itago ngunit bigo.

Matalim ang mga mata ni Freia at wala sa sariling napahawak sakanyang pisngi, kung saan may peklat na nakuha nya nuong nakaraang Bloody Luna, ang babae mismo sakanyang harapan ang nagdulot.

"Chill. That's what I'm gonna do, okay? Babalik din sya. No need for the hostility." Lyn put her hands on the air to show that she's not a harm, though the smile on her face never left.

Nang namutawi ang katahimikan, nagkibit balikat si Lyn atsaka pumasok sa dorm nila Freia, walang ingay naman na sumunod ang Copycats, may distansya at alerto pa din.

Lyn took off the hoodie and fixed her pajamas, then she went to the bathroom and stayed there for a few minutes. Nagkatinginan ang Copycats. Di pa tumagal ay bumalik na si Lyn atsaka tumalon sa kama ni Caitlyn.

Hindi na nakayanan ni Zoe at biglang nagsalita, unlike sa masayahin nitong personalidad, madilim ang ekspresyon nito sa mukha.

"Don't think na nakalimutan namin ang pagsali mo sa Hunters! Are you crazy? Paano kapag nasaktan si Caitlyn?" Hinawakan ni Krista ang balikat ng dalaga upang pigilan ito atsaka marahang umiling.

Tiningnan sya ni Lyn, "Don't worry, alam ko kung anong ginagawa ko." Atsaka sya nagpatuloy, "And it's not like hahayaan kong mapahamak si Cate."

Natahimik si Zoe.

Right. Kahit gaano nila kinamumuhian itong ibang katauhan ni Caitlyn, may iisa pa din silang pingkakasunduan, ang protektahan at kaligtasan ni Caitlyn.

Natahimik sila at pinanood lamang si Lyn na humiga sa kama ni Caitlyn. Naghikab pa ito atsaka ipinikit ang mga mata. There was silence for a few seconds, before Lyn opened her eyes

"Oo nga pala. I almost forgot." She looked at Clarisse who went rigid on her spot once she saw Lyn looking at her with a nasty glare that could instantly kill her if looks can actually kill anyone.

"Clarisse. Just so you know, hindi ako natutuwa sa pinaggagagawa mo kay Caitlyn. Kung may gusto kang sabihin, say it now, straight to my fúcking face. Hindi yung pati si Caitlyn ay inaaaway mo." Lyn rolled her eyes as though Clarisse was being unfair and childish to Caitlyn.

She had two objective she must achieve before she return in the Dark Void:

*hunt Sasha and her gang down

and

*warn Clarisse

Clarisse's eyes narrowed into a death glare.

Lyn's eyebrow raised in question, not fazed at the glare at all. "What? You wanna go? Just a warning though, since wala akong balak na masaktan ang katawan ni Caitlyn, willing akong saktan ang sayo." Lyn was so casual when she said that that it actually made Clarisse feel dread and nervousness. Zoe and Krista gave each other unsure looks while Freia sighed in defeat. She knew that Clarisse had zero chance winning against someone like Lyn. Even she had a hard time defeating Lyn back then, and she's the leader of Copycats.

"Just drop it, Clarisse." Freia turned to Lyn with a warning look on her black eyes. "I really hope na alam mo kung anong ginagawa mo. Dahil sa oras na masaktan si Caitlyn," Freia straightened her back, chin up and black eyes as cold as winter ice and dark as moonless night. "You'll find yourself facing not only the Copycats' wrath, but the deadliest gangs in this fucking Academy."

Ngumiti lamang si Lyn.

Hindi na sya nagsalita. Alam nyang hindi empty threat ang binigay sakanya ng leader ng Copycats.

Lyn is smart enough to take the threat seriously.

"It's nice meeting you all again." Humiga na sya atsaka pinikit ang kanyang mga mata.

Alam nyang hindi katulad nya, hindi nagagalak ang mga ito na makita syang muli.

But she doesn't care.
