One and Only

War 18

Zelene's POV

"What's going on here?" His cold and deep voice echoed through the place. As if like a slow motion, he walk towards me making those expensive looking shoes make a sound.

I watched as he stand beside me putting his hands inside his pocket.

Even though his group only consist of 5 members including him, they're the highest rank in here followed by my team. 3 sa 5 nilang miyembro ang kabilang sa grupo na tinatawag na Cards.

Cards consist of 6 members. Sila ang namumuno sa lahat ng nangyayari sa loob at kahit sa labas ng territory.

Ang King, the highest. Sila ang may pinakamatas na kapangyarihan at namamahala dito ganun din ang Queen na sumunod sa King.

Ang Ace, just the word itself, sila ang Ace ng Cards. They're the third in the ranking but don't underestimate them. They're not called Ace without one.

At pang apat ang Jack na sinundan ng Joker.

Everyone has their own capabilities and specialties.

"Isn't it obvious?" Sarkastikong saad ko. I saw him looked at me in my peripheral vision. That red half masked that were everyone terrified seeing was facing me.

Isang beses sa isang linggo lang siya nagpapakita dito o baka hindi lang namin alam na nandyan lang pala siya nagmamasid sa paligid. Not that I care, ganoon din naman ako.

Yes, he may be the King and I am the Queen but we don't get along. Hindi din kami close at wala akong balak na makipag close sa kung sino mang lalaking 'to. We just wanted the same, to keep this place organized and untouched by enemies.

And I want to maintain to be the queen in this place because I know...

I can rule this place better than anyone else out there.

He chuckled at my remarks. "It's been a long time since I've heard that feisty mouth of yours." He said earning a scoff from me.

"King, what punishment should be given to them this time?" Ask by the Joker.

"Let's gave them a light punishment this time since I'm in a good mood. What do you think, my Queen?" I almost gasped of what he just said.

My?!

"Do whatever fuck you want." I said crossing my arms. Kakasimba ko lang kanina pero heto na naman ang bibig ko. Bwisit kasi siya.

Narinig kong natawa si Ace kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. Kaagad naman siyang yumuko pero nakita ko pa din na pinipigilan niya ang pagtawa.

"Do you want to die?" Kaagad naman itong natahimik sa sinabi ko. Pft.

My phone vibrated so I picked it up from my pocket.

From: Unknown

Where the hell are you, Zelene?

Why aren't you answering my call?

Answer the damn call.

Bakit hindi sumasagot ang driver mo? Where the fuck are you?

Napaikot na lamang ako sa aking mata. Hindi ko alam kung sino man demonyo sa magkapatid 'to. Bakit ba text ito nang text?

From: Unknown

Do you want me to tell this to your mother?

I was about to put it back inside my pocket when the fucker texted me again. Ang alam ni mama ay nagsimba ako but she's not stupid to not know na tapos na ang misa ngayon. Hindi niya pwede malaman na bumalik na naman ako dito. Sigh.

"Shit." Bulong ko at saka inis na ibinalik ang cellphone.

"Just fucking kick them. Fuck that light punishment." Naiinis kong saad saka tinalikuran silang lahat. I walk towards the door where I enter earlier saka sinara iyon ng malakas.

Nang makalabas ay nakita kong nagpa-panic na ang natutulog kanina. Kinakalampag pa niya 'yong pinto. Parang tanga lang. He's just wasting his energy.

I opened the door of the car and throw him the key together with his phone. Sumakay na kaagad ako sa backseat.

"If you'll tell where I've been today, I'll kill you." Banta ko dito. Hindi ko naman talaga gagawin 'yon. Tinakot ko lang.

"Y-Yes, ma'am."

"WHERE have you been?" Asked by Kuya Henry when I open the door. Siya lang ang nakita ko. Mabuti naman.

"Sorry po. May dinaanan lang po ako kaya hindi kaagad ako naka-sagot."

Bitch, kakasimba mo lang.

"Is that true?" Nilingon din niya ang driver kanina. Sumulyap ito sa akin kaya tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.

"Yes, Mr. Henry. Pasensya na din po at hindi ako nakasagot. Nalowbat kasi 'yong cellphone ko." Muntik na akong mapangisi dahil sa sinabi niya. Not bad.

"Fine."

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang tumalikod na ito at umalis. Nginitian ko naman ang driver at tinapik sa balikat.

"Good job."

"Zelene." Muntik na akong magulat ng bumalik bigla si Kuya Henry.

"Yes po?"

"Come with me in my office." Sabi nito.

Ano na naman ba ang gusto niya?

"THIS is the rules and regulations inside this household. You need to follow all of this for your sake. Read it."

1. DO NOT lie.
2. NO cursing.
3. Someone SHOULD accompany you when you are going outside.

Muntik na akong natawa. Anong klaseng rules 'to?!

"What? Bakit may ganito?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko sa kaniya.

"There's something that you still don't know about kaya kailangan namin itong gawin para manatili kang ligtas."

"Pero-"

"Madadagdagan pa 'yan, just wait. And also, any of the four will be the one who will accompany you inside the school."

"What? No-"

"You can come out now. Just call the maids if you need anything or call someone from the boys. They're in their rooms."

Napapamura akong lumabas ng kaniyang office. Mukha ba akong bata na kailangang pang bantayan?! Inis kong ginulo ang buhok ko at pabagsak na sinara ang pintuan ng kwarto ko.

Bwisit talaga!

"Be fucking quiet!"

Napaigtad ako sa kinatatayuan ng marinig ang boses ni Ged. AHHHHHH!! Bwisit.
