"Kawawang bata," I heard the old lady beside me uttered. She also stopped and stood beside me to watched the scene. "Alam mo ba na ulila na siya?" Nope. I don't even know her so how would I know?  "Iniwan ng tatay tapos namatay ang nanay tapos eto, paulit ulit siyang binabalikan at sinasaktan ng mga estudyante ng Morgan." So they really are from that school.
"Ba..bakit.. walang t-tumu..tulong?" I asked in a broken tone. Tsk. I really have a hard time speaking in the language I'm not use to.
"Ah, minsan merong tumulong jan na kagaya kong nagbebenta sa eskinita, pero pinakulong siya ng pamilya ng mga batang iyan, kaya wala nang naglakas loob na gawin pa ulit yon. Ang hirap talaga pag mahirap. Kaya kung ako sayo hija, umiwas ka na lang din para di ka madamay." She said before leaving me there alone. Ah. So that's how it is. The power of money, eh? Too bad that won't work on me. I have my own rules and money and power doesn't matter. I can just kill them.
I really wanted to ignore them just like what the others are doing but what can I do, they're on my way so.. my feet walked on it's own again and stopped right in front of them.
"Pwede ba *hik tigilan niyo na ako?! *hik" I heard the girl shouted, tears are flooding in both her eyes. How pitiful. "Ano ba ang nagawa ko sa inyo?!"
"Because you're a daughter of a prostitute and your presence disgusts me! You are dirtying our country!" The one in front shouted, the fat one. That pig.
"Look who's speaking. A disgrace himself that just by breathing is already a dirt to the country." Uh-oh, words came out of my mouth as soon as I realized it. Well, there's no coming back e no? I already did it.
They're all startled when they heard my lovely voice and took a step backwards away from the girl. Looks like they were taken aback by my unmatched beauty.
"You, why don't you stand up and wipe your tears?" I pulled out my handkerchief and throw it on her lap. "You know how to stand, do you?" I don't wanna lend you a hand, consider what I did as a big help already. She really stood up by herself and wipe her tears with the back of her hands. So my handkerchief is useless? Ugh! It hurts me that I wanna cry.. as my handkerchief is crying too.
It took seconds for the boys to realize what just happened and reacted.
"Y-you! H-how dare you!" The fatty shouted. What a loud voice, I wanna tape his mouth shut. "We are students of Morgan and I am the second son of the House of Lameyris! You dare look down on us?"
Wala namang nagtanong.
I didn't know that Morgan students are loud, arrogant.. Ugly. Oops.
"So you're a second son? It means you're a... hmm what d'you call this, hmmm.. a spare son.. and you're jealousy and inferiority complex for your older sibling is sooooooo big that you bully other people just so you can feel superior even once?" Inferiority complex sure is a scary thing, good thing I don't feel that. I saw how his face fats moved in annoyance, he whispered something to the others
"Alam mo Miss, sayang ka." Fatty's subordinate spoke. "Kung hindi ka lang sana nakialam, pero dahil maganda ka.. kung gusto mong makatakas sa lupit ng pamilya Lameyris, bakit hindi ka nalang maging parausan namin? Baka sakaling mapatawad kapa."
"Ew. I'm picky." I saw how fatty's face crumpled. I just told him the truth, why does he look so insulted?
I felt a tug on my hoodie, it was the girl but I ignored her. She was just gonna tell me not to do it anyways. I don't wanna drag this for too long,
"We're running away." I held the girl at her wrist and pulled her towards them.
"Ha? S-sabi mo running away.. bakit tayo-"
"Ah yeah, we're running away from here but that is the direction I'm supposed to go. I'm getting late already." She is so confuse but still let me drag her.
"At saan kayo sa tingin niyo pupunta?" I heard them laughed and it's annoying.
"Ahh so what are you gonna do? Cry to your prostitute mama?" I felt the girl flinched but she didn't say a word. Ah. She's used to it but i can feel her body trembling in anger. Ahh.. I totally know what she feels right now.
Fatty stepped forward, both his arms were on his waist. He looked like a meat vendor by his stance. I ignored him and continued walking. Hindi kami bibili ng karne mo.
As I was just about to pass by him, I felt a hand on my shoulder making me stop. Annoying. I was waiting for this since earlier.
"Hoy-" I turned around and glared at that person. "K-kinakausap k-kapa -AHHHHHHH" He shouted in pain as I grabbed his hand and twist his fat, oily hand. I can hear his bones cracking and it was a delightful sound.
He stopped shouting as I let go of his hand but he didn't stop wailing and cursing me. Still not enough eh?
"GET HER!" He ordered the two, shouting. Well, what can they do against me?
"Step back." I ordered the girl. She was hesitating at first but I glared at her making her run towards the side of the road. Good girl.
The two boys took off their bracelets and threw it away. Those bracelets are magic supressors and I know that they are required to wear it when they are outside the university because they are forbidden to use their magic outside.
They raised their hands and opened their mouths to chant a spell. Uh-oh, not a chance.
I ran towards them in full speed, they were quite taken aback when I suddenly appeared in front of them but it's too late when they realized. I stomped on their feet making them fall on the floor, crying in pain. Well, I didn't just stepped on it, I put all my force in it breaking the bones in their feet. Ah, that satisfying sound.
I sense something coming behind me so I ducked and a loud bang was heard followed by the breaking of the wall. When I looked up, the wall fall into pieces and it was caused by a large stone. Did he lift that stone up using his magic?
He just tried to hit me with that.. Did he seriously wanna kill me? Using ability to harm others eh? Turns out he can still use his other hand, maybe I need to break it, too.
I appeared in front of him and just like the two, I didn't let him react and grabbed him on his collar, I met his gaze and give him the harshest glare I had that sweats started forming on his forehead.
"L-let me go! D-do you... know w-what will happen to you if- ugh!" Before he could speak further, my fist met his jawline enough to make him dizzy. He tried to reach me with his uninjured hand but I caught it and twisted it just like the other. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!! He shouted in pain. What a loud voice.
Not letting go of his collar, I took out my phone in my pocket using my free hand and dialled someone. You're clearly the one that doesn't know what will happen to you, but later you will.
Unexpectedly, he picked up the phone too fast or was he waiting for me to call?
"Oh?" The person in the other line answered in a bored tone.
"Ah. I got caught up in a.. unexpected situation. You know, a group of Morgan kids bumped into me,"  I said looking straight at them. "They called me parausan or something-"
"WHAT?! WHO ARE THEY?" I almost turned off the call because of that. Geez. This annoying old man. I slightly turned to the girl beside me, her tears are gone and now she has this amused look on her face.
"Who is the fat one again?" I asked making sure the others will hear what I said.
She slightly panicked by the sudden question and it was visible on her voice.
"Ah... B-bobby.. Bobby L-la-"
"Ah yeah, Bobby, the spare son of the House of Lameyris," I said on the phone not letting her finish. I didn't get a response only to find out that the call has ended. I'll teach him that it's rude to turn off the phone when someone is still talking. Let's see who is gonna cry to their mama.
I turned around to see what the other two are doing only to find out they are about to use again their magic to me.
"Do it or I'll kill him." I'm serious and looks like they believed me. As soon as they put their hands down, fatty's phone started ringing on her pants. Out of pity due to his injured hand, I took out his phone and answered it, putting it on loudspeaker.
"D-dad.." He spoke but cut off by an angry voice shouted on the other line. His angry expression to me earlier turned into a scared one just by amswering the phone. Is he scared by his father? Poor him.
"Where are you bastard? Do you know what you've done?!" Fatty's face was filled with confusion and  fear. Fear from his dad maybe. "The university kicked you out and I was being summoned by the dean just because of your stupidity! You're so useless!"
A sly smirk formed on my lips before letting go of his collar making him cough. He glared at me when I threw his phone in front of him.
"You better go home and cry to your mama." I gave him a mocking smile and turned to his companions. "Watch out, maybe your family will disown you next." I chuckled before looking at the girl at the roadside and signalled her to follow me. There, I just noticed the number of people watching increased compared to earlier and they have this wide smile to their faces. Ah, are they happy that the thorn in their asses were given a lesson?
Men dressed in black suddenly appeared out of nowhere. There are so many of them and they started approaching the audience.
"T-thank you." The girl said as soon as she reached me. Ah this annoying word.
I ignored what she said and proceed asking what is her name.
"L-leanne.." she said in a soft tone.
"Leanne. Does that happen to you often?" I asked, the two of us still walking.
"H-hindi naman palagi.. k-kapag nagkakasalubong lang kami.. a-ayaw daw niya sa akin kasi... kasi anak ako ng-"
"Stop." I cut her off. "I get it. Where do you live?" I asked but I was answered with silence. I glanced at her and she looks so down. I see. I suddenly stopped walking and she was startled by my actions, yet she also stopped.
"You.." she raised her head and looked at me. "Follow me, I'll take you out of your darkness." And bring you in my own darkness.
"You've made quite a mess." I heard as soon as I got in the car.
"They insulted me." I simply answered before looking at Leanne still standing outside the door.
"What are you waiting for? Get in. No one's gonna open the door for you." I ordered. She slightly panicked before entering and sat at the backseat.  "She's Leanne and she'll be coming with us. Take care of her."
He opened his mouth to say something but stopped and just scratched his nose. "Me again?" is what I think he is thinking but of course, he kept it on himself. He just sighed and started driving. He just force himself to get use to this cause there is no day that I don't bring anyone home and let him take care of them.
"Will you stop that?" I turned to him in the middle of his driving. I heard him sigh for the hundredth time since he started driving earlier and it is annoying. I looked at our guest and she had fallen asleep, sadness still visible in her face. As I look at her, she doesn't look like a homeless. If she'll just take a bath and dress up, she would look like a noble's daughter. She is just thin maybe due to malnutrition but she is pretty.
"Stop what?" He asked pretending not to know the reason. I know that he knew yet he just love to annoy me and it is really annoying me.
"Continue that or I'll kill you, right here, right now." I warned. I'm not joking. Now, how should I kill him? Should I throw him out the moving car? Stab with a poisoned needle? Cut off his head using thin, white paper and I'll feed his corpse to mosquitoes? Maybe I'll throw him in a lion's den and make him fight them but his hands and feet were tied..
"F-fine!" He spoke in a calm tone, but I heard him stutter. "I.. I know what you're thinking so.. I'll stop.. okay?"
Good. "What's your problem? Are you trying to annoy me? Even if you don't do it, your mere presence annoys me."
"Gosh you're so mean!" He grunted. "I'm just worried okay? You made an enemy of the Lameyris and-"
"Are you worried about me? How sweet." I said in a sarcastic tone but it backfired.
"No. I'm worried about them." Tsk. I rolled my eyes at him and looked outside the window. I just notice that we're now outside the city and were entering what looks like a forest to me. I was startled when the trees started to move. The fck?
"It's because of magic." I know, did I ask for your opinion? I was just startled. They all look beautiful and peaceful yet when they began to move, they're creepy.
Ah. What a weird place. I leaned on the car and closed my eyes. Leanne is still sleeping soundly at the back. Ah, I badly want to sleep but I can't. I'm jealous of people who sleeps peacefully.
I wonder, when will I have a chance to sleep like other people do?
