Bitten By His Fangs

Chapter 13 - He's in the Cell

He's in the Cell

"You should spend more time with each other," ang Heavenly God sa harap namin ni Nyx.

He tricked me into going here. Ang ending, kinailangan ko pang makipag-dinner sa kanila.

Nyx didn't talk. Tumango lang siya.

Ako ay walang kibo.

"Iliana," tawag ng Heavenly God sa pangalan ko.

I raised a brow.

"Serve him," utos niya.

I gave him a confusing look, "No."

"I-It's okay, Your Majesty," kumuha si Nyx ng isang ulam na nakahain doon at kusang inilagay sa bowl niya.

My father gave me a dissatisfying look. Iniwasan ko siya ng tingin.

Nagmadali akong kumain at agad na umalis. Iniwan ko sila sa patio ng residence ng Heavenly God.

Habang busy pa siya ay may kailangan akong gawin.

"Hey," sunod-sunod akong kumatok sa pinto.

I waited for a while at sinalubong ako ng isang babaeng mahaba ang buhok. Her hair was black. Her eyes were small and so are her lips.

"What do you need?" bungad niya sa akin.

"Your help, ate," I smiled at her.

Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay, "Pumasok ka nga."

Umupo ako sa isang chair na nandoon sa may mini table niya. Siya naman ay umupo sa katapat ko.

"What is it this time, Iliana?"

I grinned, "How did you know?"

"Pumupunta ka lang naman sa akin kapag may kailangan ka," inirapan niya ako.

I smiled, "You know Magnus...right?" tumango siya kaya tinuloy ko, "What is father going to do to him?"

She shrugged her shoulders, "To him specifically, I'm not sure. But I know he wants to keep him to lure his father out."

"He'll be keeping him alive? Parang hostage?" tanong ko.

Tumango siya.

Tumayo ako at lumapit sa kaniya, "It was you who were assigned to put the magic barrier, 'di ba?" hinawakan ko ang dulo ng damit niya, "Can you, uhm-"

"Uncast the barrier and let you visit him?" pinutol niya ang sasabihin ko.

I slowly nodded.

Nginitian niya ako, "Do you like him?"

Nanginit ang tenga ko, "No! Why would I?"

She laughed, "Defensive."

Umirap ako, "Fine, huwag na kung ayaw mo. Madamot," ngumuso ako.

"Okay, but I can only give you a few minutes. The guards will go back there soon," tumayo siya.

I hugged her, "You're the best, sis!"

"'Dun ka nga!" inalis niya iyon at biglang naglaho.

Natawa ako.

She's the best.

We're actually half-sisters. Ang mom niya ay ang unang asawa ng dad ko. When her mom died, my dad soon later married my mom. She's older than me and that explains why she's the crown princess, na wala namang issue sa akin. She's also the Goddess of Time.
