Horizon Pirates

Kabanata 33

- THIRD PERSON'S POV -

"So you already know who I am from the very beginning. Is that why you invited me to join your crew?" Zech leaned on the edge. Malayo na ang Weipan Island sa kinaroroonan ng kanilang barko. Kapwa sila ni Frost nasa itaas ng crow's nest.

"Yeah. But I didn't invited you just because you're already a pirate at a young age."sagot ni Frost,hawak niya ang lumang wanted poster ni Zech. Batang lalake ang nasa litrato,malayo sa kasalukuyang pisikal na anyo ni Zech.

"Then why?"

"Because you're strong."simpleng saad ni Frost. Napatango si Zech. Understandable.

"You knew what happened to Azra. Were you following us?"tanong muli ni Zech. Kinagatan ni Frost ang mansanas,lips much more red tinted than the apple.

"Jewel told me."

Totoo. Si Jewel ang nagsabi kay Frost kung anong nangyari. Jewel was mad about Zech for selling Azra at nararapat lang naman talaga malaman ni Frost dahil siya ang kapitan ng barko. At kahit na hindi itinala ni Jewel ang nangyari,alam padin ito ni Frost.

"Correct. I was following you that night." Frost smirked when he saw how Zech's face crumpled.

Noong umalis sila Azra,Jewel at Zech kasama ang mga bata pagkadating ng Weipan,iniwan nila si Frost mag isa sa barko para maging bantay. They all thought that Frost was sleeping and guarding the ship. Walang kamalay malay na itinago ni Frost ang barko sa liblib na kweba at sinundan sila.

The sleepyhead spied Azra and Jewel. Frost knew what people of Weipan had been through. Wala siyang ginawang aksyon, ipinagkatiwala niya sa mga ka miyembro ang bagay na'yon. Ang plano niya ay obserbahan lang silang tatlo.

"I didn't even sense your presence."ani Zech. Naghahalo ang pagkamangha at inis na nararamdaman nito.

"That's because I'm secretly a ninja."seryosong sambit ni Frost. Zech glared at him.

"F--k off. Tell that to Azra and she'll surely believe."nadamay pa ang dalaga na nangungulangot sa ibaba.

"The fact that you followed me reveals that you don't trust me."dagdag ni Zech. Sang ayon na tumango si Frost.

"I was right not to trust you though."

Kampante si Frost at walang pakialam sa kung anong pwedeng mangyari sa sarili tuwing kasama si Zech ngunit kabaligtaran naman kung pag uusapan ay ang kaligtasan ng iba ang nakasalalay. Frost does not trust Zech around Azra and Jewel. He's got the gist about the man's true nature. Tama nga ang hinala niya,nangyari ang inaasahan.

Frost witnessed how Zech drugged Azra to sleep and sold her for money.

"You saw what happened to Azra and you didn't even save her?" Zech raised an eyebrow,hindi niya talaga maintindihan minsan kung paano umikot ang kokote ni Frost.

Dating kapitan si Zech at mas malalim ang karanasan, kapag nasa kapahamakan ang isa niyang kasamahan,hindi siya magdadalawang isip na iligtas ito.
