"Pete!" Abo't-abot ang kaba ko habang pinapanood ang anak kong umiiyak at nanghihingi ng tulong.

Nagkagulo ang paligid. Ang iilang bisita na inosente sa mga nangyayari ay natataranta. Kylie run towards Kelly's direction. Adam held Ella's waist, hiding her behind him. Jared running towards us but was immediately attacked by an anonymous person from God knows where using a dagger.

Ramdam ko ang paghigpit ng kapit ni Chanel sa braso ko. Hinawakan ko ito at niyakap ang dalaga. I saw kuya Raiven went to his family and place them behind him. Mommy Nathalie, together with Taylor family was covered by the other Alas while the Royals secured the inoccent visitors.

"Bitiwan mo ang anak ko," mariing sambit ko. I'm nervous on what he's going to do.

He laughed nonchalantly as I feel Chanel's embrace tighten. "Not until you come with me, Empress."

I bit my lip as I roamed my eyes around the church. The armed visitors points their guns towards our team. Si Wenchie at Rochelle naman ay may hawak na baril na hindi ko napansin kung saan nila kinuha.

"Bitiwan mo ang bata, Redmond." Adam's baritone voice filled the church. Tahimik ang mga bisitang walang kamalay-malay habang ang mga armado ay nananatiling nakatutok ang baril sa isa't-isa. No one dared to make a move. No one dared to break the silence.

"M-mommy..." Nanginig ang katawan ko. Hindi sa takot. Kundi sa galit. He's pointing a gun on my son's temple. Any moment, he might pull the trigger and end the life of my precious son.

Kita kong nilingon ni Cyrus si Adam at humalakhak. "You knew this coming, yet you remained in silence, Walker. Napahanga mo ako."

"Traydor." Nabaling naman ang tingin ni Cyrus kay Jared nang magsalita ito. He's standing next to Adam and Ella, holding a dagger in his hands.

"Masyado kang tanga, Montenegro. Hindi mo man lang napansin ang mga binabalak ko."

Nasimple kong kinalabit si Rochelle at Wenchie sa tabi ko. "Protektahan niyo si Chanel. Let me handle this. The others are on their way. Keep safe."

Ayaw pa sanang bumitaw ni Chanel ngunit pinilit ko ito. Wenchie and Rochelle guarded Chanel between them.

Wala akong dalang armas. Masyado akong nakampante.

My eyes looked at Cyrus who is now looking at me. Redmond. Blood. Red Mafia. How ironic. Everything was so obvious, yet I was oblivous. The mysterious enemy was one of Jared's friend.

"Bitawan mo ang anak ko, Blood."

He smirked. Mas diniin niya pa ang bibig ng baril sa sintido ng bata. "Sa isang kondisyon.."

Pete's sobs filled the room.

"Sumama ka sa amin."

I took a step forward. Nabaling ang paningin ko kay Jared. I saw him shooking his head, like he's telling me a that it's a no. Pero ang bata..

Ngiti lamang ang iginanti ko kay Jared at muling bumaling sa pwesto ni Cyrus. "Bitiwan mo muna ang bata. Then I'll come with you." Saka na ako iisip ng paaran para makatakas.

"Wise choice." Ngumisi si Cyrus at dahan-dahan pinakawalan si Pete.

Nang tuluyan na itong binitawan ni Cyrus, nakarinig kami ng sunod-sunod na putok mula sa labas ng simbahan. Muli na namang kinarga ni Cyrus ang bata at tumakbo palabas ng simbahan. I gritted my teeth and followed him.

Shurikens, daggers, air blades, arrows and bullets flew around the church. Tinaasan ko ang pakiramdam habang iniiwasan ang mga nakakasalubong at sumusunod na atake sa akin. Nang makarating ako sa pinto ng simbahan, doon ko nadatnan ang sapilitang pagpasakay ni Cyrus sa bata.
