Midnight Angels: The War

Chapter 46

'Dark Rose'

"I want to marry your son, Mr. and Mrs. Van Saint."

That's what Zia wanted to say. That's what she wanted them to hear. But something at the back of her mind stopped her.

"You want to say something, sweetie?" Tanong ni Jun sa kanya at binaling naman ni Zia ang tingin niya sa ama at tsaka ngumiti tsaka binalik ang tingin sa mga magulang ni Blu.

"I apologize for not announcing my visit to your mansion. But Blu and I had something to discuss and I happened to have fallen asleep. We continued the discussion the next morning but hot choco accidentally got spilled on my shirt so I had so borrowed a shirt from him. I hope you don't mind." Nakangiting sabi ni Zia at ngumiti narin ang mga magulang ni Blu at tsaka tumango.

"Is that all you wanted to say, baby?" Kalmadong tanong ni Xin sa anak. Zia breathed out and smiled.

"Masarap po 'yung pagkain na niluto nina Tita. I enjoyed the breakfast. Lalabas na po ako." Zia said politely and bowed in respect at tsaka na lumabas ng meeting room. Pababa palang siya sa hagdanan ay nakasalubong niya si Blu na paakyat sana.

Blu's eyes flashed as he locked eyes with her.

Napangiti nalang si Zia nung makita ang mga mata nito.

"Hey, I wanted to ask. What do I need to get ready for?" Blu asked softly at tumingin naman si Zia sa kanya.

"Nothing~" Nakangiti nitong sagot at pinisil pa ang pisngi ni Blu bago siya lumabas ng alpha mansion at pumunta muna sa bahay nila para magbihis. She came back wearing her own clothes pero bigla nalang siyang huminto habang nasa gitna siya ng alpha village.

Xy and the others looked at her through the glass walls.

"Zia! Pumasok ka na!" Tawag ni Wilder sa kanya pero nanatiling nakatingin si Zia sa araw hanggang sa para siyang kinapos sa hininga at sandaling napayuko. Sekretong napahawak si Zia sa dibdib habang unti-unting nagdidilim ang paningin niya.

"Wesy.." She called out kaya agad na napatayo si Wesy at kunot-noo siyang tiningnan.

"Zia, what is it?" Tanong ni Wesy habang dahan-dahan nang naglalakad palabas.

"M-My body.. I can't feel it." Zia said, communicating with Wesy through his mind. Naikuyom ni Wesy ang kamao niya at tiningnan si Zia na bigla na namang tumingala at tsaka ngumiti kahit nahihirapan siyang huminga.

"Zia! 'Wag kang magbibilad sa araw!" Sigaw ni Keya mula sa kusina. Dahan-dahan namang tumingin si Zia sa kanila mula sa labas at nakita nila ang ngiti sa mga labi nito. But then, her smile suddenly changed and that's when fire started surrounding her body.

The unkillable flame and the unbreakable ice formed around her, shaking the whole village.

"Teka, Wesy. Ano bang nangyayari?!" Gulat na tanong nina Wilder kay Wesy na agad na tiningnan sina Lesis at Lezo. Lesis had to finish his bacon strip before standing up.

"Lezo, Lesis, glass wall." Kalmadong utos ni Wesy. Tumango naman ang kambal at tsaka lumabas. They both enchanted something and immediately created a glass wall surrounding Zia. Agad na lumabas si Wesy at sinimulan nang gumawa ng barrier.

Everyone looked in horror as the Hunters tried to tame the wild fire that was coming out from Zia's body.

Nagmamadali ring bumaba sina Xin para makita kung anong nangyayari sa anak nila. Wesy enchanted something while he was holding the barrier. He made a hand signal in front of it at tsaka hinawakan ito. But as soon as he touched the barrier, Zia screamed.
