Someone's Point of view
"Ano nang gagawin na'tin? We've been waiting. Nauubos na oras na'tin." Halata sa boses nito ang pagkainip.
"Don't be so excited. Lalo na ngayong mukhang may magandang palabas ang mangyayari. Let just watch how that Ganther and Onyx ruined each other. Saka na tayo kumilos. Mapapatay rin na'tin ang mga Leighton na'yan gaya ng plano." Bakas na bakas sa mala anghel nitong mukha ang galit.
"Don't you like it? The people that you hate so much will be going to destroy each other?" A man beside me asked. As that person heard that a smirk appeared on the demon's lips. I grin at that thought. All of us are demons. Demons that hiding. Pero sisiguraduhin ko, mapapabagsak namin ang mga naghahari-harian sa impyernong 'to.
Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of view
"You are late." His cold voice welcomed me. I'm panting as I reached his lair. The mansion at the back of the university. Maaga akong nakatanggap ng text mula sa kan'ya. I don't know how he gets my number but I don't really care. Rinig ko ang tawa ng mga kaibigan n'ya. Habang nakatingin sa kin. Inabot ko sa kan'ya ang pinabibili n'yang breakfast. Isang buwan ng ganito ang buhay ko dito sa loob ng university na'to. Onyx makes my life here living hell. And I am not new in that setup.
"I-inantay ko pa kasing maluto. Kaya natagalan ako." Kinuha n'ya ang styro na pinaglalagyan ng pancake with syrup. Napapikit ako ng itapon n'ya sa ulo ko ang pancake. Ramdam ko ang lagkit at init nito. Napaltan ito ng lamig ng ibuhos n'ya rin sa 'kin ang chocolate shake na kasama na binili ko.
"I changed my mind. I don't want a pancake anymore. I want rice and bacon. Bilisan mo nagugutom na ako." Tumango ako at ngumiti saka tumakbo paalis. When I entered inside the cafeteria. All of them looked at me with disgust. Some of them laughing pero hindi ko pinansin. Agad akong umorder ng rice with bacon and egg saka sinamahan ko narin ng tubig. Saka mabilis tumakbo pabalik kila Onyx. Inabot ko ulit sa kan'ya ang pinabili n'ya pero gaya ng ginawa ny'a sa pancake. Itinapon n'ya sa'akin ang binili ko. Napangiwi ako sa init. Their laughs echoed in the place.
"Do you think kakain ako ng galing sayo. I heard you are gay. Baka may gayuma 'yan. Tsk." He said. I wonder why people always make being gay an issue? It's not a big deal. Mas big deal panga ang bullying but why no one makes a move to stop it? See? Foolish tsk.
Tinulak n'ya ako bago umalis sumunod sa kanya ang mga kaibigan n'ya. Except for Orion. He walks toward me and offer his hand. I accepted it.
"Are you okay?." He asked. I nodded. Lumapit ito sa 'kin at s'ya na mismong nagpagpag ng uniform ko.
"I'm sorry about Onyx's attitude." Ngumiti ako.
"It's okay. Thanks by the way," He nodded saka tumalikod at iwan ako. Pinagmasdan ko ang likod ni Orion.
"You are a good boy type. Tsk pero hindi mo matatago ang totoo mong baho. Pathetic." Bulong ko saka bumalik sa dorm ko para magbihis.

"Ayos kalang ba?" Kit asked as I sat down beside him. I can feel their stare at me. Especially Onyx.
"Yes, bakit hindi naman ako magiging okay?" He give me a pity look and touch my neck. Naramdaman ko ang sakit.
"It's swollen. Saan napaso 'yan?" Bigla kong naalala ang kanin na itinapon sa 'kin ni Onyx. Imbis na sumagot kay Kit, I just smile at him and keep my mouth shut. Laro ko 'to. I don't want a pawn to be part of it. It's between me and the king. Buong araw walang ginawa si Onyx kundi utusan ako at ipahiya ako. Pwede na nga akong maging oscar awardee dahil sa ginagawa ko.
"I don't like that." Binato n'ya ang platong inabot ko sa kan'ya. He asked me to buy dinner for him. Ilang beses na ako bumalik pero wala s'yang nagustuhan. Tahimik lang akong buong cafeteria. Alam kong nag-eenjoy silang makita akong nahihirapan.
"A-ano bang gusto mo?" I asked. He just smirked.
"Wala." After he said that tumunog ang bell means dinner is done already and all students should go back to their designated dorm.
"I-I'm sorry Ganther. Wala akong magawa." Kasabay kong pabalik sa dorm si Kit.
"It's okay. Dapat matuwa kasi hindi na sa 'yo ang atensyon nila. You are not their prey anymore. Just keep lie-low baka ikaw ulit ang mapag-tripan nila."
"Just tell me, if 'di mo na kaya—" I cut him off.
"Why? May magagawa kaba? If I said that I had enough and I don't want to be their victim anymore. May magagawa kaba para pigilan sila?" Napangisi ako ng natigilan s'ya. Napaatras s'ya ng makita n'ya 'yon. Lumapit ako sa kan'ya at bumulong.
"Don't try so hard Kit. Wala ka ngang magawa sa sitwasyon mo. Tingin mo may magagawa ka para sa 'kin? Just hide. Hide like a little kitten. Act like a weak one even though you are a big tiger waiting for your prey. Sunod-sunuran ka lang naman. So why bothered?" I saw how his hands trembled. I tapped his both shoulder. And smile.
"W-who are y—" I placed my forefinger to his lips to stop him from talking. Pinunasan ko ang pawis na nabuo sa noo n'ya.
"Don't try to dig in. Baka mawala sa isip ko na isa ka lang walang kwentang pawn at madamay ka. Don't worry your secret is safe to me. Just mind your own f*cking business." Pagkatapos kong sabihin 'yon. I left him. Pagdating ko sa tapat ng dorm ko. I saw Orion. A smile crept to his face as he saw me. Napatingin ako sa dala n'ya at tray of food.
"You're here." Lumapit ito sa 'kin at inabot ang tray na hawak n'ya. When I saw the food to the tray my stomach rumbled. Natawa naman ito.
"Here, it's for you?" He pats my head. Bago s'ya makaalis I called him.
"Orion..." Napahinto ito saka humarap sa'akin. "Why? Why are being nice to me? You should be tripping me like your twin." His expression becomes soft.
"I don't know either. Just accept my help little bean. Goodnight." Tuluyan na itong umalis.
"Acting an angel in the hell? Don't be so pretentious Orion. I pity you..."
Orion An-nelle Baileigh Leighton's Point of view
Pagkatapos kong iwan si Ganther pinuntahan ko si Onyx. He's in the bar area of the mansion. Sipping liquor with a smile on his lips.
"What are you planning to do?" His smile was gone as he heard my voice. Malamig na tingin ang binigay n'ya sa 'kin.
"On what?" Even his voice is cold. Malayong-malayo sa Onyx na kilala ko dati. Pain could really change a person.
"Ganther." Umupo ako sa high stool na at kumuha rin ng alak.
"Bakit? Pipigilan mo na naman ako?" Humigpit ang hawak ko sa baso.
"No, I know you will not allow me to. I just want to know what's your plan about him, brother?"
"You don't need to know. Just watch how I'm going to break that littl—"
"Just because of Misha?" I spat. Kita ko kung paano s'ya natigilan. I smirk at him. "Don't be so fond of yourself Onyx. Misha is mine don't you ever steal her from me or else..."
"Or else what? I'm going to see how the angel named Orion become a demon. Misha is mine, to begin with. Inagaw mo lang naman s'ya. 'Doon ka magaling ang mang-agaw." I can saw the madness he has for me. Sa sobrang galit n'ya nadurog na ang hawak n'yang baso. Dumugo ang kamao n'ya.
"I am just starting my game with Asuncion. Stop meddling with my toy." Iniwan n'ya ako pagkatapos n'yang sabihin 'yon. I clenched my fist.
"Babe?" I immediately smile as I saw her. I pull her into a tight hug.
"I love you, Misha, so much..." I whispered to her. I heard her giggle.
"I love you too so much Orion..." I lifted her up to the bar counter. I cupped her face and kiss her passionately. She kissed me back which make me smile into victory. She mine Onyx. Whatever you are planning to. In the end, Misha will be back in my arms because she loves me.
