Cleo's Pov
"You're serious? You would betray your own family?" Pagtatanong ni blaze.
"Family? Zervex is my only family. I won't be our father's puppet if he will hurt my brother." Seryosong sagot ni Xeren.
"Paano kami makakasiguro na hindi mo kami niloloko? For all we know, you're fooling us." Pag sabat ni Patricia.
Tumingin naman sa kanya si Xeren at hindi nagsalita. "Hand me a knife or dagger." Biglang sabi ni Xeren na ikinagulat namin. "None? Alright." Napailing si Xeren at bigla nalang nag transform yung ES niya sa isang maliit na kutsilyo.
Umatras sina Angela, pero ako at si Blaze ay nanatiling nakatingin kay Xeren na walang takot. Wala na akong takot sa kanya, I have a gut feeling to trust Xeren. He seem to really care about Zervex and won't let anyone stand in his way to get his brother.
"Would this be enough as proof?" And in a quick motion, Xeren slashed his own right arm, close to his shoulder and it wasn't light at all.
"Xeren!" Bulalas ko sa gulat at natataranta ko siyang nilapitan. Hindi siya si Zervex, but seeing him injured made me worry about him.
"Dude, we trust you know. You went too far." Umiiling na salita ni Patrick.
"It was to prove my point. That barely hurts anyway." Xeren shrugged and turned his ES back to an accessory.
"Come here." Umiiling na utos ni Angela at ginawa niyang yelo yung sugat. "This will stop the bleeding for a while."
"Oy atras. Wag hahawak." Saka hinila ni Luke si Angela palayo kay Xeren habang masama ang tingin niya.
"Stop the nonsense." Umiling si Xeren at sinamaan lang niya ng tingin si Luke na parang wala lang. "So are we gonna just charge and attack dad? I doubt that would work." Pagsasalita ni Xeren habang nakatingin siya kay Blaze.
"We will confront him and let Cleo catch him off guard." Sagot agad ni Blaze at saka sumulyap sa akin at napaiwas ako ng tingin.
"How will that work? There would be no negotiations with dad, he will take her magi and use it to take over the Larchians. That's his plan." Malamig na sagot ni Xeren at nagkaroon sila ng staring contest ni Blaze.
"Well, she just needs to be creative then." Walang pake na sagot ni Blaze.
Agad akong tumingin sa kanila at sinamaan ko ng tingin si Blaze. Does he plan to have me killed? Wow, talk about friendship.
"What? No. That is reckless. My brother would kill me when he gets better if he finds out Cleo had been harmed. He would kill all of you." Nakakunot na pag-angal ni Xeren.
Natigilan ako sa pananakot ni Xeren at alam kong hindi kaya gawin ni Zervex iyon. Hindi sasaktan ni Zervex ang mga kaibigan ko, hindi diba?
"Tinatakot mo ba kami?" Sabat ni Luke.
"I am stating the facts." Walang takot na sagot ni Xeren habang nalatingin pa rin kay Blaze.
"Then you should join Cleo. Pretend you have captured her, you can protect her right? Unless you are truly as weak as I thought you were?" May konting ngisi sa labi ni Blaze at mukhang ang sinab niya ay nag strike ng isang nerve kay Xeren.
"Ah, don't challenge me. You prince." Naka angil na salita ni Xeren. "I would accompany her. I'd rather not incur my brother's wrath if something goes wrong." Galit na sabi ni Xeren at matagumpay na ngisi ang bumalot sa nga labi ni Blaze.
That guy can really manipulate someone, a trait I really grown to dislike about Blaze.
"If you say so. Now go inside and we will soon follow after if you give us a signal." Nakangising sabi ni Blaze.
