Chapter 39 : Golden Arrow

[ A L E X E I ' S  P O V ] 

Yes, she is definitely here. Hindi lang sa mata ko kilala ang nanay ko. Alam kong siya iyon. Hindi ko pa man siya nakikita rito sa mismong hide out, alam kong sinundan niya kami. At higit sa lahat, alam kong ililigtas niya kami kapag dumating na ang oras na hinihintay niya. 

Oo, naiinip na ako. Ilang araw na ang nakakalipas simula nang nangyari ang pagpatay kina Ninong Jake at Ninong Achilles. Gayun na din ang pagbalik ng mga malalakas at nakakahabag na mga hiyaw at sigaw nina dad kasama ang mga kaibigan niya at mga natitirang reapers sa ibang selda dulot ng pagpapahirap na ginagawa sa kanila ng mga tauhan ni Uncle Sean. 

I don't know what is Uncle Sean is thinking. Before, I really did think that he has a one good reason for this but what good reason does he have to kill innocent people? More importantly, my mother's most loyal men! The reapers who have stayed with mom first before he became her friend! Those men who have dedicated their whole life to be a reaper and to be selected as her personal reapers! Those guys who steadily received various challenges and trainings just to be the best that they can be to protect their mistress' life! Anong magandang rason ang mabibigay niya para rito? Wala akong maisip na matinong rason para gawin niya ang mga bagay na ito. 

Napabuntong hininga na lang ako kasabay ng pagyuko ng ulo ko habang katapat ko ang kamang kinalalagakan ng bunso kong kapatid na mahimbing na ang tulog. Naaaninang ko pa rin ang mga luhang kumakawala sa kanyang mga mata hanggang ngayon. The death of his godfathers in front of his eyes became a traumatic scene for him. He cried and cried but Uncle Sean just ignored our despair. His orders are absolute and we can't do anything about it. Not until Finn's pet, Aurora, the messenger bird, a homing pigeon that mom bought for him for his 8th birthday came.

Finn and I found out that this is not an underground hide-out thus we searched for any potential window-like here in our cell and luckily, we found one! Doon din namin nalaman na may dinikit silang device mula sa labas upang maging mukhang solid na pader ito sa loob at labas. Nang akyatin namin ito ay mas napatunayan namin na isa lamang itong hologram, an advanced hologram device dahil nagawa naming ilabas ang kamay namin sa nahanap parte ng pader na iyon. Kinapa namin ang kahit anong makapa namin na hugis parisukat na kadalasang hugis ng mga device tulad ng dating turo sa amin ni Uncle Marc. 

Nang makapa namin iyon ay pinindot namin ang hinihinala naming button na siyang nag-aactivate nito. Since that is only an attached device, it is not connected to the main system of the whole hide out. There, we can see the square shaped window now. Kapag pabalik na ang mga bantay ay ibinabalik namin ito sa dati nang sa gayon ay hindi kami mahuli. Thanks to the technology, Uncle Marc was able to detect something from the watch he gave me last year. It turns out it has a mini device inside connected to the navigation system he invented ten years ago. Kaya naman nang malocate niya kami ay pinadala nila si Aurora na pinapasok namin sa bintanang natuklasan namin. 

She has a small necklace with a mini vessel carrying a piece of paper in it. She carried the message from Uncle Xander all the way from the main headquarters of the Cromello and Dela Vega family. "Please hold on. We are already on the final stage of preparing for the attack. It will happen on the day after tomorrow. Take care of yourself." I muttered almost voicelessly as I remember the day we received the message. And that is today.
