Cleo's Pov
Maganda ang planong ipinaliwanag sa amin ni Blaze, pero may mga doubts ako tungkol doon. May pagka delikado rin, pero iyon ang pinaka matinong plano na magagawa namin. Hindi namin kailangan idamay ang mga magulang namin para dito, wala namang magiging problema kung hindi kami magkakamali.
"Kumilos na pala tayo. Cleo, yung phone mo?" Seryosong tanong ni Patrick at linahad ko naman agad yung cellphone para makita nila.
"Call Zervex's phone number." Pag utos ni Blaze at napatango nalang ako sa kaba.
Kinakabahan kong tinawagan ang phone number ni Zervex. I doubt someone would even answer this, not when Zervex is injured... I doubt he is anywhere near his phone in his situation.
Ilang beses nag ring yung cellphone pero nay sumagot doon. Agad akong tumingin kay Blaze at tinanguan niya lang ako bilang sagot sa nagtatanong kong tingin.
”Vex, ikaw ba to?" Mahina kong tanong sa phone, katapos kong i-speaker mode and audio.
"Cleo." Natutuwang bati sa kabila ng phone at agad kong nalaman na hindi iyon si Zervex.
"Xeren, bakit nasa iyo ang phone ni Zervex?" Seryoso kong tanong at nararamdaman ko ang paglaki ng kaba at galit sa loob ko.
"Ah, he is not well enough to be answering the phone." Kalmadong paliwanag ni Xeren at mukhang natutuwa talaga siya.
"Don't shit with me. Ano ang nangyari kay Zervex?" Matalim kong tanong.
Linakihan ako ng mata nila Blaze pero hindi ko sila pinansin. Hindi nila ako mapipigilan at gusto ko malaman ang sitwasyon ni Zervex.
"Don't be so overdramatic, he is fine. Just bleeding a bit from a knife stab." I can see Xeren rolling his eyes and waving one of his hand dismissively. "Now goodbye–"
"Wait. I have a request. Mahal mo si Zervex diba?" Mahina kong tanong.
He was silent for a few moments, before answering a simple 'yes'.
"Help me. I would go to you guys and you can take all my magi away. But never bother our kingdoms again." I bargained. It's a horrible bargain and it makes no sense at all. He wouldn't agree to this.
"Tingin mo ba, tanga ako? Why would I agree to thay bargain? It doesn't benefit us at all." He even snorted in disbelief.
"You want Zervex out of your father's hold." Kalmado kong sagot at natahimik siya.
"I agree then, but we will not be agreeing to not meddling with your kingdoms. Your magi, for Zervex." Sagot ni Zervex.
That turned out how we expected it to be, my guess was right. Kahit kakaiba yung asta ni Xeren, pero mukha naman mahal niya talaga si Zervex. Para siguro kay Zervex, gagawin niya ang lahat para lang sumaya si Zervex.
"Where can I meet you?" Seryoso kong tanong at napatango si Blaze sa akin.
"Return to the castle grounds. We are staying here. Walang tao rito at umalis ang lahat, natira lang ang mga magulang mo." Sagot ni Xeren. "Come here in an hour and don't bring anyone else." At saka pinatay na niya ang tawag
"That worked better than expected." Salita ni Patricia.
"It did." Dagdag ni Blaze. "It could have went horribly, when someone blabbed their mouths in such a unnecessary manner." Tinignan niya ako at napaiwas nalang ako ng tingin dahil guilty ako.
It could have ended horrible dahil sa katangahan ko.
"Now, we move according to plan." JM spoke up and we all nodded in agreement.
All we need to do now is get Zervex from them and we will move in every word from Blaze's plan. If we fail, we will be murdered alive. Not by the Darchians, but by Blaze himself. He can be truly terrifying when he gets contradicted, or his plan being ruined.

Just like the plan, we all headed to the castle and I was feeling nervous and I wanted to throw up at the idea of us failing. All I need to do is go with them and then find a way to get Xeren at our side and have their father... Defeated.
"Cleo, everything would be fine. Just calm down and things will be okay." Pagpapakalma sa akin ni JM habang nakasakay kami sa kotse ni Angela.
That pink and barbie car, yes. Not really the best to look intimidating, pero ito ang pinaka malapit sa amin na sasakyan.
"I know. Nag aalala lang ako para kay Zervex." Umiiling kong sagot at napangiwi ako ng tumama yung gilid nung kotse sa isang pader papasok sa castle namin.
I guess we gotten a dramatic entrance in a way?
"Pota Angela! Mag drive ka nga ng matino!" Pagmumura ni Luke at sinamaan lang siya ng tingin ni Angela at tinigil na niya yung sasakyan sa center ng castle courtyards.
"Manahimik ka diyan panget!" Singhal ni Angela at napa iling nalang kami.
Seryoso ang sitwasyon namin tas itong dalawa nag babangayan na para nang wala lang.
"Shut up and just get off you idiots." Pagsalita ni Blaze at bigla nalang nanahimik yung dalawa.
Agad na nagsibabaan kaming lahat ag naramdaman ko na ang mahigpit na hawak ni Angela at Veronica sa magkabilaang braso ko.
"I will be fine, wag kayo mag alala masyado." Pag e-encourage ko sa kanya.
"Pero kung magkamali kami–"
"We will not fail. I will not tolerate failure." Seryosong pagputol ni Blaze.
"See?" Pilit akong natawa dahil sa pag asim ng mukha nina Angela.
"I will be fine. Stop worrying so much." Ngumiti ako sa kanila at nakita ko na ang paglabas ni Xeren sa castle. "I gotta start." Mahina kong sabi sa kanila at tinignan ko yung kamay nila na nakahawak sa kanila.
"Be careful, Cleo-chan." Mahinang bulong ni Veronica at naramdaman ko ang pag bitaw niya.
"I hate this..." Bulong rin ni Angela at binitawan na rin niya ang braso ko.
Nginitian ko nalang sila at naglakad ako patungo kah Xeren at nakikita ko na hindi maganda mood niya. Para bang may itim na aura na naka balot sa kanya, he looks really mad and it is terrifying.
"Xeren, si Zervex?" Agad kong tanong ng makalapit na ako sa kanya.
"He is held captive. Dad won't let him go unless you go meet him..." Mababa ang tono ng boses ni Xeren at nakikita ko ang galit sa mga mata niya.
"Wala siyang plano ibigay sa amin si Xeren, noh?" Kalmado kong tanong pero nahahalata roon ang pagka irita ko.
"I doubt he does. He will use him as leverage. Dad found out how you like Xeren." Umiling si Xeren at kinagat niya ang ibaba niyang labi.
"I won't give him my magi, kung hindi kayo tutupad sa usapan." Umiling ako at napatingin ako kina blaze. "Deals off." I mouthed.
"Well, its over." Pag agree ni Xeren. "We will have to murder my father. He will hurt Zervex and I won't let him hurt my baby brother."

Just one last more ❤
