#TCS44: The Lawless Auction

Honoka Reign's POV

When we were back at Luna's house, everyone was quiet, probably because of exhaustion. A lot has happened tonight. From the happiness, I felt when I was with Rebel, to Ate Amythee's tears, and to Kuya Theon's gunshot. I felt like a week has passed.

Inalalayan ko na lang na maka-upo si Kuya Theon sa sofa sa living room. I noticed how he winced in pain after he sat. Good thing, Justice appeared after fifteen minutes of waiting inside the room. S'ya na mismo ang gumamot kay Kuya Theon at nagtanggal ng bala rito. Laking pasasalamat na lang namin nang matapos 'yun nang maayos.

Ah... hindi talaga gano'n kaayos dahil sa tindi ng sigaw at sakit na nadama ni Kuya Theon. He endured all of it without anesthesia. Goodness, it was horrifying to watch and we really couldn't do anything about it. Parang nabawasan nang ilang taon ang buhay ko nang matapos lahat lahat nang 'yun.

"Amythee..." Mahinang tawag ni Kuya Theon kay Ate nang makita n'ya itong aakyat na sana sa taas.

I distanced myself when Ate looked at Kuya with soft eyes. However, she shook her head lightly. "Not now, Theon..." She whispered and before she avoided his gaze, I saw hesitation, but with Biblee beside her they both went up to the second floor.

I went to the kitchen to get Kuya Theon some water and gave it to him. He looked so lost and defeated. "Magpahinga ka na, Kuya." Sabi ko sa kan'ya at saka ko kinuha 'yung naubos n'yang baso ng tubig. He sighed deeply and I could see his teary eyes.

"Fuck..." He whispered in a tone that almost cracked.

Tinulungan ko s'yang tumayo at gano'n din ang ginawa ni Art at saka namin s'ya inalalayan sa kwarto nila ni Kuya Cleon. Art helped his brother, at kahit inis pa rin si Kuya Cleon sa kakambal dahil sa nangyari tinutulungan pa rin nito ang kapatid.

"Thank you, Honoka..." Art told me sincerely. I smiled faintly at her and answered, "no worries."

"Maiwan ko na kayo, ah? Kapag may kailangan ka, sabihan mo lang ako." I told Art and she nodded at me while conveying her gratitude. Nang makalabas ako sa kwarto ay nakasalubong ko si Harper na mukhang nag-aalala rin.

"How's Theon?" She asked in a little voice.

I sighed. "Not okay at all." Sabay kaming bumababa muli sa living room at do'n nakita si Pierce at Thorn na nakaupo at tulala sa sofa. Sa sobrang dami ba naman kasing nangyari hindi na ako magtatakha na hindi lang pagod ang katawan namin, pati na rin isip.

"Okay lang kayo?" I asked them gently which made them faced me in synch.

"Tired..." Nakangiting sabi ni Pierce.

"Still processing everything..." Thorn retorted with a lazy smile.

Harper and I sat down across them. "What a night." Harper commented as she rested her back on the sofa.

"I still don't think Kuya Theon hurt Ate Amythee intentionally." Thorn allayed.

"But hurting is hurting, with reason or without." Kuya Akira suddenly joined the conversation from behind. He tousled my hair and jumped from the back to sit beside me. He sighed and thought about what happened tonight.
