DRAGON KNIGHT GANG

♚•♘•ⓓⓚⓖ•♘•♚

Flame POV

We're here right now in our hide-out. The dragon Knight Gang main base. Dito namin dinala si Serenity habang mahimbing pa itong natutulog. Ibabalik lang namin siya sa dorm pag gising na siya.

I'm watching her. She's sleeping now in my bed. Hinawi ko ang hibla niyang buhok dahil natatabunan nito ang maamo niyang mukha. I don't know what to do but cussed. She's like an angel, a fallen angel who experienced a painful resentment.

I could feel her pain, her angelic sleeping face... tainted with her tears. Marahan ko namang pinahid ang luhang dumaloy sa pisngi nito. I cussed many times to myself. Fuck! I really missed this girl so much! I remembered when we first met at the restaurant; I didn't recognize her that time because she's already become a lady. We're just fucking 8 years old when we part ways, di ako makapaniwala nung napag-alaman kong si Chloe at Serenity ay iisa. malaki ang pinagbago niya pero yung pagkahardheaded at tapang ay dala-dala niya parin. I just smiled of the thought na tinangka ko pa siyang pahirapan dahil sa pagnakaw ng halik niya sakin. This girl always did something stupid.

kahit nawala ang alaala niya ay di makakailang siya parin si Serenity, ang batang nagligtas sa amin lahat mula sa kamay ng organisasyon na 'yun.

While waiting her to regain consciousness... I didn't do anything but to remember the memories the first time we met after we got separated 8 years ago.

[Flashback]

Palabas ako ng sasakyan ng tumunog ang phone at agad ko naman itong sinagot habang pinagmamasdan ang restaurant sa tapat ko.

"What?" Inip kong tanong sa kay Art. Si Art Klien Vessarius, one of my comrades. Siya ang nagbibigay ng imporamasyon tungkol sa whereabouts ni Serenity Baskerville.

"I found out that posibleng isa sa mga business tycoons na nasa loob ng restaurant ang umampon kay Serenity, still I can't easily find some access to that man" kumunot naman ang noo ko sa sinabi niya, 'yun lang yung nakuha niya? mabuti pa sigurong maghire na lang ako ng private investigator kesa aasa sa glutton na 'to. ang laki pa naman ng expectations ko sa investigation skills niya. tsk.

"hoy Flame, I know na nakakunot yang noo mo, but believe me that man is difficult to deal with. He ensure that no one could easily find out the true identity of Serenity, he even change her name" aniya.

"tch. fine" I said grunted. Sino ba kasing umampon sa kay Serenity at ganoon ka over protective sa kanya? tsk. He's sure powerful. I didn't expect that finding her will be this difficult for us. If we will soon found out where Serenity whereabouts', that damn geezer will surely pay.

"Good, meet that girl. Just act as if she's your girlfriend. Don't be rude to her understand?! She's our ladder to meet the most powerful businessman who adopted Serenity" he said. Art sounded like my Mum. tch.

"Geez. Alright" and I hang up without warning. bakit ako yung ginawang pain ng mga asungot na 'yun. I'm their leader but I'm the one who take action. geez.

Inayos ko na yung necktie at kwelyo ko. makikita ko na naman ang babaeng yun. She's not even pretty, there's no way na maging girlfriend ko 'yun. We're just using her for the sake of connections. She's so clingy or something. I really can't understand girls. She's irritating like hell.

Pumasok na ako ng restaurant. This kind of place is the best meeting place for business tycoons, very luxurious.

Nilibot ng mata ko ang buong paligid. Where is that bitch?!

I started walking inside pero hanap-hanap parin ng mata ko ang babaeng ka date ko. saan na ba 'yun napadpad?

Nahagip ng mata ko ang isang grupo ng teenagers na nagsasampalan, geez. They're embarrassing to watch. I just continue finding my date and didn't give a damn care to their scandalous cat fight.

Di nagtagal ay nakita ko rin yung babaeng makakadate ko. She's sitting near the table of those teenagers. I calmly walk towards her, hiding my irritation.

"tss.. akala ko ba Mariz best kisser ka? bakit di kayo nagtagal ng isang minuto? mukhang di yata ginanahan si Lim eh.. dahil kung ginanahan siya baka aabot pa kayo ng dalawang minuto." I heard the girl said. nakatalikod ito sakin. ang iingay nila. I just coldly walk towards them. lahat ng bisita sa restaurant ay nakatitig sa kanila. geez. bakit ba nila pinagkakaabalahan ang mga walang kwentang bagay?

"b-bakit naman namin patagalin, eh araw-araw naman namin yun ginagawa" depensa naman nung isang babae. I could clearly hear them.

lalampasan ko na sana ang table ng mga teenagers ng magsalita ang babae.

"Oh. really? ipapamukha ko ngayon sa inyo kung sino ang mas magaling humalik"

Natigilan ako ng hablutin ako ng babae. Damn it! Di ako nakapaghanda sa sumunod na nangyari ng halikan niya ko sa labi. I didn't respond at first. I want to push her away and punch her to death but my body didn't bother to move. Fuck! pakiramdam ko ay niloloko ako ng sarili kong katawan.

I closed my eyes. Shit! Why it is my body wants to respond to the kiss of this girl?! Something's different, ngayon ko lang naramdaman 'to... the feeling of wanting something... this girl...

Di nagtagal ay tumugon ako sa kanyang halik. Fuck! I think I fell into this girl's curse. It was like a game, this girl was obviously a trap but I just wholeheartedly accepted it, I felt cheated. I'm being stupid again! But this sensation triggers my desire... the desire to touch this girl.

I kiss her gently, her lips.. so soft. I can't get away with her. Damn! What you have done to me?

I wrap my arms to her waist, tasting her mouth to the fullest. I can't help but cussed. laki ng epekto sakin ng halik niya. F*ck! I want more!

Di nagtagal. napansin kong natigilan siya. She bumped into something which I really want to destroy that fucking thing where she bumped into. agad siyang humiwalay at pulang-pula na humarap sakin. I can't think anything right now but to kiss this girl again as a payback. I want more! Binitin niya ko pati ang mga readers! Fuck!

I tried to memorize her face; she's very fair, black straight hair, pointed nose, and has a very cute pair of black eyes, her pinky cheeks, and lastly her pouty red lips. You can't get away with this girl. I tried to open my mouth to speak but she already looks away and faced her friends like it was nothing. She suddenly bids goodbye to them and walks out. She left me dumbfounded.

Fuck! It's really just like a game. Once again, I've been cheated.

~*~*~

After that incident, pinatawag ko na kaagad ang maasahan kong investigator. Pinahanap ko ang babaeng humalik sa'kin sa restaurant. Di ako titigil hangga't di ko siya makikita. She'll pay for her rudeness a while ago. Lahat ng plano namin ay nasira ng dahil sa kanya, di ko agad naisip na makikita kami ng babaeng makakadate ko. I felt stupid thinking like that na obvious naman talaga na makikita kami ng babaeng 'yun dahil 2 meters away lang yung table niya. I groan when I touch my left cheek, that bitch slaps me hard, but I felt pity for her car though. I let my underlings wreck her baby and its fucking serves her right.

"Hey Flame, seems like your interest change" Art suddenly came out from nowhere. I'm just looking outside the window, thinking about that girl again while sipping my wine. I'm just staring at the dust of buildings below.

I didn't bother to look at him. I'm still thinking. Asking myself why that girl caught my interest. "Don't ask me about that. Even myself, can't answer that" I'm still confused. Serenity is always my top priority, but now that girl's kiss kept bugging me. It's not really my first kiss but why is it that it's so big deal when it comes to that girl? I admit that she has a pretty face but damn! This is not the usual me! I don't fucking care about romance!

That time, Art kept pissing me off. He really believes that I'm attracted to that girl at the restaurant and I'm always defending myself even it is really true. True, that I'm attracted to that girl. I might be put into jail because I'm fucking guilty!

~*~*~*~*~

[End of Flashback]

"tsk. I'm attracted to you that time because you are Chloe and not Serenity" I murmured. The resemblance didn't change, She still the same as Serenity that I know, always reckless, always doing something stupid, and risking her life for the sake of others. Which is makes us insane. She really likes torturing us from worries. What a horrible woman.

But there are still differences between Serenity and Chloe.

Chloe was a crybaby, she always running away and afraid to face her fears unlike Serenity that I know, she always faced everything even risking her life. She didn't let herself cry in front of others, she is very strong emotionally.

But right now, Serenity became a shadow, shadow of Chloe Rosencranz, she buried Serenity and left her with the grievous past. She let herself change and act as a different person.

But now...

I won't let her allow running away; I won't forgive her for being weak. I will do everything to make her remember if it takes years. Because if Chloe faces her fears and she remember the past, this fight will eventually put to an end.

3rd Person POV

"Crimson, they're now started taking some actions" A guy with black suit said. He appears from the dark part of the room like he always did. Hindi na nagtaka ang mga kasamahan nito dahil isa itong assassin. Assassins love to hide in darkness, which the stain of blood could be cleansed effortlessly.

"I know" tipid na wika naman ni Crimson. He calmly sat at his favorite chair, facing the glass window while hiding his grin. "hayaan na muna natin sila" he added. Pinaglalaruan nito ang isang baso ng alak and purposely spill the wine to the clean white carpet.

"As you wish" wika ng lalaki at nilamon na ito ng kadiliman. Tahimik ang lahat sa loob ng apat na sulok ng silid. Walang nagtangkang magsalita.

"All of you, go back to your own gangs" ma otoridad na wika ni Crimson. Lahat naman sila ay sumunod at siya na lang mismo ang natira sa loob ng tahimik na silid.

"Just let them happy today but soon I'll make those smiles fade" Crimson said while grinning.

"This White carpet, it's clean but easily stained. Just like that girl, I'll make her stained with blood once more"

~*~*~*~

Chloe POV

I found myself lying in a bed. Umaga na pala, ramdam ko ang nakakasilaw na liwanag ng araw. Saan na ba 'ko? Hinay-hinay akong napaupo sa higaan. I'm not familiar in this room, why is it that smells like a guy's room. Pinagmasdan ko ang sarili ko. I'm still wearing a black jacket and black jogging pants. Kinapa ko ang bulsa ko, hinahanap yung cellphone. I need to check if hinahanap na 'ko nina Junho. Pero walang cellphone sa bulsa ko, nahulog ko ata sa... shit! A realization hit me. I just remember what happened yesterday. The Dragon Knight Gang... the revelation, I still can't believe it.

And right now... I think, I'm in Dragon Knight Gang's abode. I still can't face them. What should I say to them? I don't know what they will do to me. Arg! Shit. Sakit sa ulo.

"Where's my phone?" I asked while looking at the curtain by the window. Bigla namang gumalaw ang kurtina at lumabas ang isang lalaki roon.

"You really didn't change Serenity, you're still sharp" he said while smiling. I saw him yesterday. But I didn't bother to remember his name.

"Don't call me that, I'm now Chloe Rosencranz" I coldly stare at him. Magaan ang loob ko sa kanya but I don't want to be friendly either. Di ko alam kung sino siya in my past memories. I will not easily trust them.

"That's rude, Serene" He said still smiling. Lumapit siya sakin at inabot ang phone ko. I just look at my phone like I'm inspecting it.

"Aish, so you really that Chloe, huh." He suddenly said. "The stubborn, Chloe" he added. At ginulo ang buhok ko. I just look at him emotionless.

Kinuha ko yung phone ko mula sa kanya at nagsimulang i-check habang yung lalaki naman ay napaupo sa bed side. Tinitignan niya ako pero di ko na lang pinansin.

"I'm Art" he said. I just look at him in a moment then eventually look back to my phone. I don't know how to talk with this guy. He's not really that bad.

"Just ask me if you have a question, I know you're still confused" he said.

"Wala bang tumawag o nagmessage sa phone ko?" I asked. My phone's memory is empty. Lahat ng contacts, call history, and messages ay nabura na. I don't know how to react. It seems like it was purposely deleted.

"Di ko rin alam, pinabigay lang sakin 'yan ni Flame eh. Siya ang may hawak niyan mula pa kahapon" aniya. I groan in despair. That guy loves pissing me off! Nagtaka naman si Art habang nakatingin sakin.

"Nasaan na ang lalaking 'yun?" mahinahon kong tanong sa kanya pero halata sa boses ko na nagpipigil lang.

"He's currently down stairs, tawagin ko?" Tanong naman niya. I just nod at agad itong lumabas ng silid.

I smiled.

This is it! I'll grab this opportunity to escape. I dial the number of Silver, thank God at nagawa kong imemorize yung number niya kahapon.

"Silv, I need your help" I said at cool lang itong sumang-ayon. I'm very grateful na hindi siya katulad nina Maze na ang hilig mataranta.

I explained the plan to him then hang up. Buti may GPS yung phone. They'll know my location. For now, I need to run away from this place.

"Let's see if magagawa pa nila akong mahuli" I smiled to myself. Mabilis kong hinalungkat ang mga gamit sa loob ng kwarto. Buti may damit dito na nakahanda, mukhang para sakin 'to. Sinuot ko kaagad ang damit. White dress na hanggang knee lang ang taas at may sleeves ito na hanggang elbow lang. ayos na 'to. I suddenly found some weapons. Good. How foolish are they, sana tinago na nila ito habang tulog pa 'ko. Napaka careless naman ata nila.

Flame POV

Nasa sala kami ngayon. Kasama ko ngayon ang anim na myembro ng Dragon Knight Gang at sina Blue, Doll, Daimon at iba pa. Nagtipon-tipon kami ngayon dahil kailangan namin ng panibagong plano.

"alam na nila, di ko akalain na ang tatalas nila. Tch" Blue said. I just cross my arms while thinking deeply. The enemy is not that easy to deal, ha.

"King, gising na si Serene, hinahanap ka" Art said. Di ko namalayan ang pagbaba niya. I'm thinking too deeply that's why my concentration is not stable.

"talaga?! Gising na siya?" Chase gladly said.

"Pupunta ako sa taas! Wag kang harang Zero!" Daimon shouted. Hinarangan kasi ni Zero si Daimon dahil may balak itong puntahan si Chloe.

"Shut up!" Neru shouted.

"Hey! Di ba si Flame lang yung hinanap niya. Bakit kayo ang pupunta?!" mataray namang wika ni Doll.

I stood up.

I don't want to hear their irritating voice. Paalis na sana ako ng bigla akong may narinig na nabasag sa 2nd floor. Napalaki ang mata ko. Damn! Si Serenity!

Na-alarma naman ang ang lahat sa narinig.

"Dito lang kayo, I'll go there" Neru calmly said but in just a blink ay nawala na silang lahat dahil lahat sila ay pumunta na sa taas.

I just calmly watch outside the building. Puro glass window ang nakapaligid sa 1st floor. I slowly walk towards the entrance of the building when I saw her. Falling like an angel from above, she wears the white dress, I grin when I saw the thing in her back; instead of white wings I saw a katana in her back. She jumps from 2nd floor even though she's afraid of heights. I'm just standing, watching her gracefully falling. Her face was glowing brightly. She's smiling. Shit! Why is she still happy after facing her fear? What a courageous girl she is. She's very beautiful. Her long black hair slowly falls down and it's shining because it hits by sunlight. I can't move or something. My body tells that don't destroy this beautiful scene.

"King! Si Serenity, makatakas!" sigaw naman ni Art sa bandang likuran ko. I'm still dumbfounded. Ano na namang ginawa ng babaeng 'to sakin. It's the same when I first saw her at the restaurant. She controls my body.

Naramdaman naman ni Serenity na papalabas na ang lahat kaya ngumisi ito at nakatingin sakin. She murmurs something which is di ko maintindihan at agad na naglabas ng...

"Potek dude! Granada!" Sigaw ni Chase na nagpabingi saming lahat. She's really...

Cruel little devil.
