Naging mas seryoso ang labanan ng dalawa. Still on their half-form, they're now snapping their sharp teeth and fangs against each other, targeting the throat for a sure kill.

They have completely forgotten sense and reason. Oxalis Pack will retaliate if something bad happened to their heir. Hindi rin pwedeng mapahamak si Kaizon. Wala pang pagkakataon ang Oxalis Pack upang linisin ang kanilang pangalan laban sa bintang na ibinato ng kabilang kampo. Add the fact that their heir is currently vent on killing the Alpha of Oleanders is not helping either.

Considering someone out there set this up, I could clearly imagine the culprit watching us in amusement. Hindi ito pwedeng magpatuloy. We're playing a game we couldn't win because someone out there is still manipulating our strings. At this moment, the end game is clear, matatalo kami at magtatagumpay ang plano ng nagpakana nito.

The Oxalis are silently waiting for me to act while the Oleanders are sending daggers on my direction. If looks can kill, kanina pa ako nabiktima ng mga titig ni Stephanie. She looks like an angry barbie, with that wavy long blond hair and flawless make-up on her face. Her secret boyfriend, meanwhile, has a hand around her waist, silently plotting inside his head. Tinitigan ko siya at nag-iwas ito ng tingin. Beta Oleander could benefit from this, I just found a suspect.

Patuloy pa rin ang rambulan ng dalawang purebloods. I don't want to use my ability on them, especially on Alekxus, but now I have no choice.

Nakabuka na ang aking bunganga, handa ng sabihin ang incantation na gagawa ng isang ilusyon base sa mga kinatatakutan ng mga maapektuhan nang biglang, "Zafeera sarhi."

That's not me.

Someone unknown said it instead.

Parehong natigil sina Alekxus at Kaizon hanggang sa napaluhod at napasabunot ang dalawa sa sarili.

I looked around in panic, searching for the person who seemed to have the same ability as mine.

Kaagad na nilapitan ni Luna Miadyn si Alekxus at niyakap ito habang patuloy ang panginginig at sigaw ng kaniyang anak. Pareho ang nangyayari kay Kaizon, only that it is Stephanie who's on his side, trying her best to contain the raging and fearful werewolf.

"Stop it, bitch!" galit na utos sa akin ni Stephanie.

"Red," napabaling ako kay Luna Miadyn, "What's happening?" bakas ang panic sa boses niya.

Nagbalik ang attensyon ko kayna Alekxus at Kaizon. They're now voicing out their fear.

"She didn't choose me...she's gone..." mumbled Alekxus, nanginginig ang katawan katulad ni Kaizon, his eyes are reddish and distant. Pinipilit niyang hindi umiyak but he's bound to lose any time now.

"She died. After everything I did to prevent her death, she still died..." bulong naman ni Kaizon sa kawalan. His lips look bloodless. Nanlalambot ang katawan, parang wala nang ganang mabuhay.

"It's not me, Luna, not me!" sambit ko. Akala siguro ni Stephanie, siya ang kinakausap ko kaya sumingit siya,

"I don't believe you! I said stop it, bitch!"

And then as if a phantom of air, a person in a hoodless black cloak with a white expressionless mask appeared at Stephanie's side.

Bigla nitong hinila ang mahabang buhok ng Luna ng mga Oleanders pataas, lifting Stephanie's body with this movement.

And in a flat, robotic tone, sinabi nito, "The name for our kind may sound the same, but based from what I've seen and what I just discovered about you, my dear," inilapit nito ang nakamaskarang mukha kay Stephanie, "It's clear who's the real bitch here, isn't it, fuckin' whore?" And with that, sinapak niya si Stephanie at tumalipon ito papalayo.
