I'm in my usual dress up when I would meet people who know the other me. Many people as Naiarah Montmeyer an adopted child of a commoner, but what they doesn't know that I have been keeping secrets from them. I'm hiding the real me from them, to keep them safe. In the normal world I'm Naiarah but in the underworld I'm Shadow.
Habang papasok ako dinig na dinig ko ang ingay ng hall kay naman nag-simula nakong mag-lakad palabas automatic namang namatay ang mga ilaw na nagpa-tahimik sa lahat ng naruon.
Nang makarating ako sa gitna ay agad bumukas ang dim lights upang makita nila ako sapat lamang, pero hindi talaga gaano kaliwanag.
"It's been a long time..." I heard gasps from the crowd as I said that, I used my coldest voice. Kita ko sa mga mukha nila ang pagka-gulat at takot nang makita ako and I won't deny that I love seeing fear in their eyes. Mask isn't required in here it's up to you, and the only ones who wear mask are the Rank 1-10 and me.
Nang maka-bawi sila ay agad silang tumayo at yumuko at sabay-sabay nagsalita.
"Welcome Back, Your Highness!."
"Sit down..." I commanded them agad naman silang nagsi-upuan at talagang ibinibigay saakin ang buo nilang atensiyon.
"I know you're wondering, where I've been for the past two years. I was taking care of something and I still wasn't finished taking care of it when a news came to me." I said coldly.
"W-What...news Q-Queen?" Someone in the crowd ask while stuttering. He's from the Jorn Gang the leader to be exact.
"Someone was moving behind my back. DISOBEYING ME AND GOING AGAINST MY RULES. And most of all,USING THEIR POSITION TO ABUSE AND HURT PEOPLE WHOSE UNDER THEM!." Malamig kong sigaw ng may diin.
Agad namang napatayo ang lahat at halos mapatalon ng ilabas ko ang baril ko at pinaputok iyon. Halos lahat sila ay lumuhod sa harapan ko pati narin ang sampung pinaka-malakas na mga gang maliban sa rank 1 na naka-tayo lang.
Sunod sunod na ang pag-tatanggi ng mga ito at pagsasabi na wala silang nalalaman at kinalaman duon. Alam ko yun pero kailangan kong paaminin ang mga yun ng hindi gumagamit ng dahas at baka mapatay ko pa sila. Sa lahat ng pinaka-ayoko ay yung nang-aabuso.
"Uno..." Tawag ko dito. Para naman itong natulos sa kinatatayuan nito maging ang mga kasama nito.
NAPA-TAYO kaming lahat ng magpa-putok siya. Mukhang galit na galit talaga ito dahil hindi si Queen yung klasi ng leader na mananakit ng walang dahilan kaya lubos na ginagalang siya ng lahat.
Kung nakaka-matay lamang ang tingin malamang ay patay na kaming lahat makikita sa mata ni Shadow ang galit. Mahigpit rin ang kapit nito sa baril na parang papatay ito ngayon.
"Uno..." Napa-tayo ako ng tuwid ng tawagin niya ang pangalan ko. Parang aatakihin ako sa pusi ng hindi ko alam kong bakit, sobrang lakas ng tiboj ng puso ko. Kahit naman kasi nakaka-takot siya ay matagal ko na siyang hinahangaan.
Agad akong yumuko, pagbibigay respeto bago sumagot.
"Y-Yes, My L-Lady?" Napa-tikhim ako ng mautal ako, damn! Narinig ko pang humagikgik si Rica. Fuck! So gay!.
"Bring my pet here." She said. Para naman akong nabingi.
"W-what?" I ask not processing what she just said, her pet? You mean, the Tiger? Oh no!.
"Do I have to repeat myself" she said coldly kaya naman napa-tango na lamang ako bago nag-lakad papunta sa kulungan ng 'pet' niya kuno.
"Goodluck..." Sabi nina Sean sabay tawa ng mahina pero alam kong narinig iyon ni Shadow walang nakaka-takas sa pandinig nito na animoy ma'y stethoscope sa tenga na kahit heartbeat yata namin naririnig. Well what would I expect she's My Queen after all.
Nang maka-pasok ako sa luob ng selda kung matatawag ba tong selda eh maganda panga toh sa kwarto ko. Nevermind I'm here to get that beast that I've never been scared in my life. I defeated many monsters in my life but this one is different I can't use my power I could kill it and Shadow will definitely be mad at me so no.
Dumiretso agad ako sa Tigre na naka-higa at tulog, dahil hindi ko alam kong paano ito gigisingin ay inalog-alog ko muna ito. When it woke up, it immediately roared at me kaya naman ginamit ko nalang ang kapangyarihan kong kontrolin ang utak nito. Agad naman itong kumalma at umamo.
'Come here' agad naman itong lumapit saakin, I rubbed it's furry head.
Nang lumabas ako ay agad itong sumunod sa akin. Nang maka-balik kami ay kita ko nag hulat sa mukha ng mga naroon na ang sinasabing pet ng Queen ay isang tigre. Agad ko itong inilapit kay Shadow bago tinanggal ang mahika. It immediately roared that scares the crowd.
NAPA-TAAS ang kilay ko ng hindi pa nagli-limang minuto ay lumabas na agad si Uno at kasunod ang alaga ko. It's strange. Mailap ang tigreng ito saakin lamang ito sumusunod at umaamo. Kaya paano niya ito napa-sunod.
Nang bumalik si Uno sa upuan niya. Light immediately roared that causes the gangster's in here to shrieked especially the girls. I didn't know what he did but he's lucky that Light didn't growl at him. Bago kopa makalimutan kung bakit ko si Light kinuha ay agad kong hinarap ang mga tao ko.
"To those fuckers, I'll give you a chance it's your choice. You'll surrender on your own or I will make him bring you here." I said coldly bago umupo sa upuan ko.
Mukhang walang planong umamin nga mga gago kaya naman agad kong tinapik ang tigre dahilan para mag-wala ito at akmang aatakihin ang Rank 2 ng biglang mag-salita ang leader nila.
"We admit it!." Sigaw nito na ngayon ay naka-patong na sa mesa
"I'm sorry, Queen. Please forgive us." Hingi ng tawad ng mga ito.
Agad ko namang tinawag si Light at pinabalik sa kwarto nito. Nang maka-alis si light ay agad kong hinarap ang Rank 2 or ang Poison gang. Sa isang iglap ay may naka-baon ng shuriken sa mga katawan nila. Sakto lamang para maging torture sa kanila pero hindi naman sila mamamatay. Mamimilipit lamang sila sa sakit dakit parang susunugin ng mga lason ang katawan nila.
"You know that I hate traitors the most, yet you still did it." I coldly said and walk towards them slowly. I squatted in front of Raven their leader. "This is your first warning don't test my patience." I said before going out.
But before I left I told Kane that Raven's Gang will be drop on the lowest rank. That's enough for today, I just want to scare them. Even I'm still piss it's fine, but next time if they'd do that again I will not hold myself and I might massacre them.
NANG MAKALABAS si Shadow saka lamang naks-hinga ng maluwag ang mga nandito. Everyone fear her because she's the most unpredictable monster they call, but I can feel even though she's cold and deadly yet she's concerned about her people. She has this equal law at kahit na takot ang lahat sakanya ay walang nag-subok na trydorin siya hindi lang dahil mahirap siyang kalaban kundi dahil narin isa siyang mabuting pinuno.
Nagagalit siya kapag may nag-aaway na gang dahil sa kasakiman ng ibang gang, kung gusto mong makuha ang position o rank na inaasam mo dapat lumaban ka ng patas at pagsikapan mo ito. Kaya taon-taon ay may ginaganap na Battle Of Throne kung saan nagla-laban laban ang mga gang para mas tumaas ang ranks nila o mapanatili ito. Maging ang pagiging pinuno pumapayag siya na hamonin siya at kung sakaling matalo mo man siya ay handa siyang ibigay sayo ang titulo at trono niya.
Many assassins, gangster's and Mafia's tried to challenge her but they all end up being comatose for months or even years. Challenging Shadow is like selling your life in the hands of kamatayan.
And 3 months from now Battle Of The Throne will be happening again after two years. I know everyone is preparing for it, training and getting their body in the right condition. For the past two years everyone is determined to conquer higher ranks so I bet this will be a bloody one.
Also, many of them is determined to challenge Shadow especially Raven. He has this crazy desperation on becoming the Underground World's most widely powerful Gangster. But, I won't let him do anything that would harm my queen. Hell! I can even bring heaven and hell for shadow.
I, ought to protect her, serve her, follow her, and I am not planning to break that ought. Just like the princess, I will find her and protect her. I hope I can find her sooner or later. We really need to find her, were already running out of time.
