Deltha: Avenue of the Esoteric

Chapter 30

Safe

"Everyone should see these!" Isang sigaw mula kay Phaedra ang pansamantalang nakapagpatigil sa akin sa pag iisip.

All of us rushed to their direction while looking at Coven's mobile device. Isang madilim na video ang laman noon. Nabalot kami ng pagtataka pero kaagad na nasagot ang mga tanong namin ng I-play niya ang video.

Muling nag umapaw ang matinding galit sa sistema ko nang bumungad sa amin ang nakangising mukha ni Night Caller.

He was holding a time bomb, and from that moment, I already knew that video was a kind of threat.

"Lexus, do you think I'm a damn fool?" He was pertaining to President X.

Gumalaw ang panga nito, halatang gustong basagin ang mobile device na hawak ni Coven dahil sa matinding galit.

"I will not waste time finding your fucking whereabouts. Half of your team died already and if you didn't surrender yourself within this day, then prepare for a bloody explosion."

Matapos niyang sabihin iyon, ipinakita niya sa amin ang sentro ng Norteng bahagi ng Pardua. At katulad ng ginawa nila sa syudad ng Ortho, hindi malabong totohanin niya rin lahat ng sinabi niya.

Walang makakapantay sa kademonyohan nila.

"What are we going to do now? Night caller was right. Half of our team died already! Will we follow his bullshits or we'll just stick to our plans?" iritadong sambit ni Ashanti.

Walang gustong magsalita-tila lahat ay nag iisip kung paano namin ito malulusutan.

"We need to talk," sambit ko habang nakatingin kay President X.

I didn't wait for him to respond. Derecho akong naglakad papalayo sa mga kasamahan namin. Ramdam kong nakasunod siya sa akin.

Nang makasiguradong tanging kaming dalawa na lang ang nasa lugar na ito, muli ko siyang hinarap.

"I already attained my full power," buo ang loob kong sabi. Hindi ko inaasahang tatawanan niya iyon.

"Is fooling a fool your type of game, Dasha?"

Hindi ko inaasahang maski pagsisinungaling ko ay mahahalata rin niya.

"What should we do then?"

Nanatili siyang kalmado habang magka ekis ang dalawang braso.

"We'll proceed to the second plan."

That explains why his confident is overflowing. Wala man lang kahit anong takot ang makikita sa mga mata niya.

"I'll join—

"You'll hide."

Nag init ang ulo ko sa sinabi niya. 

"Do you know how hard for me to just stay here doing nothing!? And now you wanted me to hide again?"

Nilabanan niya ang titig ko, halatang hindi gustong magpatalo. 

"You'll just be a burden to the whole team while you're under the special process. Everyone must protect you and if you want to lessen our work, you need to protect yourself too."

Natahimik ako ng ilang segundo dahil sa sinabi niya bago pa muling nakapagsalita.

"What should I do?"

"We prepared a place in Syveria. You'll stay there with Severin and Headmistress."

"I can't just—
