CHAPTER 5- BOTCHED

CRISIONTEL

We left the building and went to the tavern, and guess what they treat me. Masarap talaga paglibre. Kaso di ako natuwa kase dapat daw talagang sabog ako uuwi.  Which is a bad idea.

I don't drunk that much because something bad might happen. And it wasn't the first time I cause a lot of trouble inside the tavern. Dati kase sabi ni kuya bartender may sinutok daw akong ten costumers and he had payed all the damage I caused. But I payed him afterward. Kaya di ko na ginagawa yun. Nawawala ako sa sarili kong katinuan o baka maibunyag ko Ang nakatago tagong kong lihim na maaaring makakapahamak sakin.

Zephylie just sitting a lot of girls in the bar are trying to get his attention but he seems unbothered. His so fine. I must say his actually good looking. By my own point of view he fits the standard of a perfect figure. The girls are desperately flirting on him but he just sip his wine. I saw his eyes twitch. By the looks of it he had enough. And just like that he walk away.

"Don't mind him. He's still a virgin"

"Uhh!" That was straight forward. Poor guy. He just came into the wrong place.

Nang matapos ay lumabas na kami at gumewang gewang na nang lakad si kuya jaiko at namumula na talaga siya. Nasobrahan at nabigla kami ng bumagsak siya sa harap namin at humagok sa lupa.

"Not here kuya! Your a big guy we can't lift you God! Kuya wake up hey!" Sigaw ni jedalion at sinubukang pukawin ito pero knock out talaga.

Tatlo kaming bumuhat kay kuya at para kaming natatae'ng di lalabas ang bigat niyang tao at di pa kami nakakalayo dahil nangatog na agad ang tuhod namin. I saw zephylie raise his hand at may lumapit na carriage at binuhat namin si kuya sa loob at nasa tabi lang kami ng driver.

"Jedalion. Can I ask something about you virtues?"

"Shh Not here kid"

"Oh, sure" these people are strange I need to gather some information about em. I have some trust issues that what if one day they'll be the cause of my death. But for now I should win their trust so I can sneak in.

Silence was taken over the whole place and theres no word heard from them only the crickets on the night. We stop at the autumnside apartment in cirius town. And the butlers help us to carry him upstairs and put him on the bed. He occupied all the space. So the only place for us to sleep is the sofa. I went to the balcony roaming my eyes to the whole place.

"Crisiontel have a cup of coffee" abot sakin ni ate. I smell the aroma before drinking the liquid. I have a terrible diseased, trust issue.

Bumalik ako sa loob at umupo and zephylie is all silent. If magkasama kami panis laway ko sa kanya. "Zeff want some dessert?" Tanong ni ate and he just nod his head. Maybe he can't talk.

"Can you talk?" Di ko napigilan ang bunganga ko at natanong ko iyon sa kanya. He gave me an icy stare and I just sipped on my coffee and pretended nothing happen. Shess his so serious. Gosh this boy is something..

"Nope. Actually kid his voice have been stolen by someone when he was your age"

"Why do you called me a kid? I have the same age as you people"

"Tell us your age then"

"I'm 26 years old" well I'm actually 24

"See your a kid. Well i'm 89 zephylie is 77 years old and kuya jaiko is 115"

I was too stunned to hear that they're actually older than their looks. But they didn't age at all. She looks like 25 years old for me. She's that old? Anong sekreto ng mga to bat di tumatanda. Siguro half hybrid sila. Mabaha ang buhay ng mga hybrid kesa sa normal na nilalang na gaya ko.

"Who asked you to captured the sins? Tsaka nasan ang iba nyong kasamahan? Pano nagstart lahat ng to may nagsusweldo sa inyo?" I ask and drank my coffee. Jedalion take a nibble on her cookies and clear her throat

"Actually it all happens on a dream. First off all, we didn't knew each other. Everything happened like  concidence, deja vu. I happens to have a dream and I know I was in a lucid dream. I'm aware of it. I was walking on the cloud. And suddenly a woman appeared in a golden robe with her enormous size even her golden wings flapping.

Then my eyes roll to the other side and I saw a two man bowing their heads at her and i didn't hesitate to bow my head too. I was all calm and didn't question the uncanny situation--"

"So let me guess yung dalawang lalake ay sina kuya jaiko am I right?"

"Yes. Dun ko sila nakilala saking panaginip. And Goddess fhiti gave us a mission to cleanse the bad spirit who has been spreading long ago by the fallen goddess. Clexa. Then I suddenly woke up instantly and I was about half an hour trying to understand my dream. Then the next day. I was halfway thinking about the dream I had that night at sa di kapa kapaniwalang pagyayari nagkatagpo kaming tatlo sa ibang daanan. Tulala kaming tatlo dahil nagkita kami sa parehong panaginip at panahon at heto naglayag kame para hanapin ang mga sins na inutos samin ng dyosa. Ang mga partisan's or what we called the pathogens ay nagfefade lang after we cleanse them but we need to find their core.. sadly yung nakasalamuha mo ay isang partisan lang pero dahil sa nagawa mo nalaman namin na nasa escavan sila na nagtatago"

Wow. Sana all na meet ang goddesses. I was amazed because of how she delivered the story it was just incredible. Ugali ko kasing hindi naniniwala pero sa mata at pagkasabi niya talagang totoo.

"So that's why you need me in the first place? As your map or a compass--"

"Yes. Because you know this place more than we do, others might suspect us strangers and we could be send to the big house ang iba naghahanap sa parte ng Glaceal kami nalang tatlo ang makakasama mo. My hometown in Ireland and--"

"Ireland?!" Medyo napasigaw ako sa pagkasabi ko. Malayo ang lugar na iyon nasa northern part of glaceal pero in order to get there you must have a ship. Pagkaalam ko noon ireland has four seasons unlike here. Kaya pala maputi at mamula mula ang kutis nila dahil galing sila sa north. Ang layo nila para maglayag sa escavan.

"Nga pala matanong kita. Pano kayo natutong mag cleanse ng bad spirit? You use latin how did you learn about it did the Goddessess teach you too?"

"Well no, Zephylie did, his an actual monk  he live on a shrine. His place are all latinas. He spend most of his time practicing and praying with his grandfather. He also expels bad spirit"

"So before kayo nagmet ano mga trabaho niyo. What will you be if this thing didn't actually happen? If you don't mind me asking.."

"Well i'm working at the coffee shop and kuya jaiko is a woodcutter and he sell them on his town"

Mabubuting nilalang ang mga ito kase nakita nila ang dyosa at ngayon pinag uutos silang nilisan ang glaceal mula sa kamay ng mga seven deadly sins. I spend my whole life hunting criminals for money. Without me knowing that there still even worser than a criminal. I have a thought that maybe i've seen them or passed them. But my eyes are all on the criminals of escavan.

Mga sugo ng dyosa pala tong tao nato. Nakakahiya. Tago ko muna sungay ko.

➖➖➖

Everyone fell asleep even my shantal. I leave the apartment. I have invaded the night rushing through the roof of the town hunting for my money. I jump down and saw four men walking to the tavern and their arrival is perfect. I enters the tavern and inhale the freshly bake bread. I often visiting this town. Cirius malayo lang sa town ko. I tore up my clothes and make some gothic style to get some attention from the crowds. Wala kasing nakasampay na damit Wala akong manakaw.

I tied up my hair messy buns and went inside. The doorbell rang and the drunken men have been interrupted by me. My eyes glanced at the four men sitting at the couch with them girls. The light is perfect for my arrival. I walk like a sassy queen and someone spank my ass and had me boiling hot. One of them aggressively pull my arms to joined them and his licking my neck but I push him away and wipe his saliwa on my neck.

Para akong maiyak sa ginawa niya pero hinarap ko lang siya. Nako yung pera ko pala ang may gawa nakatingin sila sa legs ko. First off I would like to spit on his face but not yet. I went to the bartender while his busy serving some drink and his kinda hot.

"What can I get for you tonight?"

"An angel shot please" His mood change as I ordered something and look around at the corner "May i suggest with lime?"

"With pleasure miss.."

"Four men sitting on the corner with girls"

A few minutes have delighted me when the cops arrested the four men. I drank my wine at nagmadali nang umalis at nagpasalamat ako sa bartender. Nakikita ko silang dinadala ng mga kawal na nakatali ang kamay at dahan dahan lang akong lumapit and its easy for me to knock em by hitting their pressure point. They whirl in sudden panic after the guard fell on the ground.

They tried to run away but I simply enjoying the view. Their running with their hands tied up. May naiwan sa likuran at narinig ko ang hininga niya matapos ko siyang mahawakan sa likod pati yung talbog ng puso niya narinig ko.

Sinubukan niya akong sipain pero nakangiti ako habang hinila ko siya at dinaan ang kutsilyo sa kanyang leeg. His body fell off to the ground and turn into a phantom but sadly before it could crawl away. I step on it and put it in my purse for later cleanse and look for his phantom troupe.

I jump and i saw how big is the moon is its color matches the hunting time. Burning Red

"Hurry up. I'm famished" i heard the throb of his heart as he hid beside the junkyard. I put out my mask and saw a basket nearby and carried it and saw a shadow figure from afar. The moon is the only light the lantern on the street is not that bright to lighten the way. I pretended to flop and my basket went onto his direction.

"Who are you?" I scream in terror and he ask me to untie the knot on his arms but I take a whole some drama to be a scaredy cat.

"Hurry up or i'll kill you!"

"Okay, okay" I untie him and his fussing so much and he wanted me to double time as his hand was free he choke me and drop me to the ground

"Bagal bagal!"

Di pa siya nakakalayo sa dilim ng magsalita ako na kinalingon niya "I'll count to three and if you survive I'll set you free"

"Y--your"

"Three.. one" i started but before he could take another step. His head fell off to the ground at may narinig akong babae na sumigaw at tumakbo paalis.

Nagmadali agad akong umalis habang dala dala ang ulo ng mga gagamba. Dalawa nalang. I jump up to the roof and turns out the roof is not too strong enough to hold me and I crash down. I felt my body cracks. I groaned in pain and trying to sat down and i saw the family trembleng beside the table while the father is defending his family.

"I'm sorry guys. Here fix your roof" abot ko pa ng pera sa kanila " Sensya na kakalipad kolang ngayon"

MOMENT LATER.. They called the cops and they called me a thief. Okay. My face posted outside the police station. I ordered them to draw my face right. They can't even make my eyes right I look like a cross eyed person. like what the hell can you hired someone whose good at sketch?

I sat down with my rip pants at ang mga kasamahan akong bilanggo nasa sulok. Di naman kaya kumalat yung eyeliner ko? Uling improvise. Kaloka natakasan ako ng dalawa. Sadly i left my mask while rushing for my life.

My stuff are on the police table and they laugh at the spider on my purse.

"Alam mo naglalaro din ako ng gagamba nung bata pa ako" pagbibiro ng cop sakin. Napissed ako sa kanya pero ang cute ni kuya ket kalbo.

"Bat may gagamba ka sa bag bata?"

"Bawal po ba? Lucky charm duh"

"Lucky charm e bat ka nakakulong?"

"Aba malay ko" I layed on a bed and something walking on the matress i stand and I open it up. Naipit ko yung daga. Kinuha ko ito at nagsiagawan ang mga kasama ko sa loob.

I heard a foot step coming while i 'm talking to a rat and actually were communicating. He might understand me. Sumilip ang mga cop sa kulungan at makulimlim ang lugar. And i ask them to give me back my purse and they did.

The rat simply rolling over the bed and the prisoners are about to lost conscious. How can a small rat be dangerous? Ang laki ng katawan takot sa daga. I pick some stone and write something on the wall and draw a key. The rat understood his assignment and waited for the chance.

May inabot na pagkain ang bantay at sinipa lang niya ito at tumaob ang pagkain. At napatabi naman ako ng magkandarapa sila at nilinisan ang pagkain na nasa maruming cemento at pinagsalo salohan nila at hinatian din nila ako. I was so touch ket nandidiri ako sa kinakain nila dahil sa kabaitan nila nakuha parin nila akong bigyan.

"Kailan mong kumain hijah" inilagay pa nila sa kamay ko ang hati na tinapay. Parang nakaramdam ako ng kirot habang nakikita ko sila na parang tao na hindi pinapakain Ng ilang araw

"What crime have you done. Before you came in here?" I ask them

"I have stole from an antique store and it's my fifth time to be here. Ibinebenta ko ito upang uuwi ako sa bahay na may dalang sako ng bigas. Paralisa ang aking asawa ako nalang ang nagtatrabaho hindi rin ako tinanggap ng palasyo dahil hampas lupa ako"

"Ako naman nakapatay ako ng isang kawal. Ginawa ko iyon dahil muntik nang gahasain ng lalake ang kapatid kong babae"

" Ako Naman nadungisan ko ang damit ng prinsesa" Marami silang naikwento sakin at panay punas lang ako ng luha ko. "Ikaw hija?"

"Ah nahulog ako sa bubungan" medyo napawi naman ang lungkot nila at napatawa ko ket kaunti.

But before we could done our plan. I heard a voice from outside the cell. I sat down and sighed. Gagi panira moment talaga ang mga virtues. The cops open the cell and demanded me to be free. Napalingon naman ako sa kanila at nakita ko silang masaya at kinindatan ko sila at habang patalikod na ako nakita ko na ang daga na may dalang susi pero napaisip naman ako kung mahuli sila at matatanda na ang mga iyon.

Humarap ako sa kanila at umutang ng malaking halaga at binayaran ang guwardia na palayain ang mga ito. Sumakay na kame ng karwahe at nakita ko ang bilanggo na hinalikan ang lupa at ang iba naman nanampalataya habang nakatingin sa langit.

"Well then how you gonna pay us?"

"Well its easy" i said proudly and search my purse. tanging gagamba nalang ang naiwan sakin. Hehe i'm dead. Di ko pa nakecleanse ang mga ito para iexchange kona sa goldhouse. Laking pera nato e. Di rin to tatanggapin ng hari gusto niya ang ulo ng leader ng mga blackmamba.

Natameme lang ako habang nakatingin sa langit kung pano ko isolve ang prolema ko. Hays nakatulong nga ako pero nalubog naman ako sa utang. Di bale madali lang mahanap ang pera. Charr
