Icelle

"Should I cut your head now?" Nanindig ata lahat ng balahibo ko sa katawan nang bigkasin niya ng parang normal lang sa kanya ang mga salitang iyon. 

I want to stop Fire pero parang may pumipigil sa akin. Oo nga step sister ko si Halley pero napaka sama naman ng ugali niya. She never really treated means her brother, and so do I.

"What?!" gulat na atugal ni Halley. Makikita mo sa mukha niya ang takot pero pilit niya itong itinatatago para magmukhang matapang sa harap ng mga tao. 

Naglabas ng shurikens ang mga alipores niya papunta sa gawi ni Fire subalit parang magnet na dumikit ang mga ito sa katanang hawak niya. Walang ano-ano'y iwinaksi ito pabalik ni Fire sa kanila bago muling ibalik ang matulis na blade ng katana sa leeg ni Halley. 

Her speed, it happened in a blink of an eye. Is she a gangster? No, it can't be since she's from the mortal world right? He moves are quite faster than a normal magic user. 

"You and your gang of thugs aren't enough to defeat me, Demon Princess." Natigilan kami pareho ni Halley nang bigla niyang sabihin ang mga katagang 'yon. 

How did she?

"Who do you think you are?!" Halley hysterically shouted as she took a dagger hidden in her boots. 

Looking how fast and agile Fire was, I'm sure she could stop her just before Halley could get her hands on the dagger. However, she didn't stop her. Akmang sasaksakin na sana siya ni Halley sa balikat nang marahas niyang hawakan ang pulsuhan nito at inilapit papalapit sa kanya. 

"Does it matter if who I am?" Mapanloko nitong bulong na siyang ikinalisik lang ng mga mata ng maldita kong kapatid.

"What's going on here?" Napalingon naman ang mga ito nang may magsalita mula sa likuran. 

It was Kent. He, together with his gang rules the school kaya todo apila ito sa mga gulo na nagaganap sa school. It was his responsibility to keep things in order and peace. He disciplines students who are fond of making troubles.

Instead of answering, Fire just deadass stared at him with a cold expression on her face. They lock gazes within a few seconds, pero kaagad din napaiwas ng tingin si Kent matapos ng ilang sandali. 

"Ice, sino siya?" Rinig kong tanong ni Sena. 

"He's Kent. Siya ang batas dito." I answered shorty and she nodded. 

"Halley, what's happening here?" Matigas na tanong ni Kent habang nakatingin kay Fire na may hawak na katana't mahigpit na nakahawak sa pulsuhan ni Halley. 

"K-kent. . ." She looks nervous. Of course, she would be. Siya naman ang nagsimula ng gulong 'to. 

"T-this girl is from the Black Government!" I scoffed in my head. Black Government, really? I never thought she would go as far as accusing Fire as someone from the Black Government. 

Napansin ko naman ang pagkunot ng noo ni Shandice at ang pagtalima nito. 

"Hoy, anong Black Government pinagsasabi mo? Nahihibang ka na ba? Malayo maging Black Ally si Fire dahil una sa lahat, si ang—" Bigla itong napatigil sa pagsalita. Nanlalaki mata itong napatingin kay Fire habang pilit na kumikibot ang bibig niya upang magsalita pero walang lumalabas na boses doon. 

"Shut up, Cera." Walang emosyon nitong wika bago ibalik ang katana sa loob ng flute niya. I couldn't help my amusement. Kahit talaga anong isip ko ay hindi ko alam kung paano nagkasya ang katana sa flute niya. It's just cool!

"Is that true, Miss?" Tiim bagang na tanong ni Kent. 

Fire didn't bother to answer his question. Instead, she started to play with the flute in her hand. Everyone knew Kent was mad at the Black Government, everyone of them are. Black Government is an organization that is involved with child trafficking, drugs smuggling, and murderers. Kent's parents were murdered by them too. Kaya naman ganyan na lang ang naging reaksyon niya nang marinig ang Black Government. 

"What is this commotion about?" Tanong naman ni Ryan, ang second in command ni Kent.

"She's from the Black Government." Napaseryoso naman ang mukha ni Ryan. Kaagad nitong sinuri ng mabuti si Fire. 

Binalik ko naman ang atensyon ko kay Fire. Instead of answering their questions to refute Halley's accusations, she remained silent. Wala itong ibang ginawa kun'di laro-laruin ang flute na hawak niya. 

"I said, who are you?" Marahas na pinatigil ni Ryan ang pagpapaikot nito ng flute niya. Fire lifted her gaze at him with a bored look on her face. 

"Is there a problem?" Pa-inosente nitong tanong na ikinatalim lang ng titig ni Kent at Ryan dahil sa pagmamang-maangan nito. 

"Are you deaf? This is the last time I'm going to ask you, who the fuck are—" Tulad na lang ng nangyari kay Shandice kanina ay parang napipi din ito. Sumilay ang kakaibang ngisi sa labi ni Fire na ikinalaki ng mata ni Kent.

"Who's deaf now, Kent Ramirez?" He attempted to speak, but he failed. Kahit ang ibang tao sa paligid ay nagtataka sa inaakto nito pero kahit kami ay hindi alam kung ano ang nangyayari. 

What did she do?

Fire

I can't count how many enemies I have. All of them happens to be some desperate women and speaking about them, they are getting on nerves. The way they talk and accused someone makes me want to burn their sinful tongues so they would stop yapping nonsense. 

I went back in my senses when Cera started to talk. "Fire naman eh! Bakit mo zinipper ang bibig ko kanina?" She whined. 

"Shut it, Celestial Queen." Her eyes widened in shock. She started to look around if there are people who heard me. 

"Kyaah! Fire, baka may makarinig!" She yelped while thrashing her hands on my left arm.

"Uy! May gwapo ba Shan? Bakit ka tumitili dyan?" I heard Sena asking her while looking around.

"Ah! Wala may ipis kasi!" I rolled my eyes upon her lame excuse. 

"Hindi pa ba kayo gutom? How about we go and eat in the cafeteria?" Kendrick offered. 

I just nodded my head in approval. They are acting as if nothing happened. I know they are probably curious and confused, they are just contemplating to ask me. But then, that's good. I am not in the mood to explain since I'm a bit hungry. 

When we arrived at the cafeteria, they started to look for the table while I went to the counter to check the food. After I ordered mine, I also selected specific food in the menu that fits their preferences so they could just sit and wait for their food. 

After a while, the food came. I started to eat peacefully while they were mad noisy gossping and giggling. 

"What a messy eater." My forehead knotted when Lune grabbed a tissue paper in the table and began wiping the side of my lips without my permission. 

I was about to warn him when the girls started to scream. I frowned. 

"Gagi, ang sweet niyo naman! Omg!" Cera teased while eating her dessert. 

"Sheesh! Sana kinuhanan ko kayo ng picture!" Sena blurted out with her eyes gleaming with dismay.

"Nakakakilig!" Kylla screamed on top of her idiotic lungs. 

I look around only to see other people looking at out table with weird faces. I wanted to disown these people and pretend that  don't know them. They're a bunch of mental patients.

"Congrats dude!" Why the hell is even Onxy try'na congratulate him? 

"Wag mo kalimutang ako ang ninong ha?" Kendrick whispered, giving Lune a suspicious look on his face. 

I breathed heavily as I tried to control myself. God please give patience, if you give me more power and strength, I will possibly burn them to pieces.

"Can you just eat and shut up?" Lune grunted in annoyance. 

I just shrugged my shoulders. After everything that happened today, we all went back to our rooms to rest.

"Goodnight Crimson Queen." Cera grinned at me before going to sleep.

I smiled mentally. Crimson Queen, huh? It's been so long since I heard someone calling me in that name. 

I stood up and went to the terrace of the dorm. It was dark outside and I am sure someone is expecting me to come here. I know he's been lurking around the dark for quite some time, even his smell couldn't escape my nose. 

On cue, I felt a sharp object violently coming towards me. I didn't bother to try and dodge it. I raised my left hand and caught the dagger in between my fingers. Nice shot. I went back inside with a dagger in my bed. There was a paper attached to it.

You are highly invited in the Gangster World Arena for the upcoming fight tomorrow night 8:30 pm. The Kings settled the fight. You can bring your underlings or gang group if you want. Your presence is expected. Do or Die.

-Council

A triumphant smirk escaped my lips. I succeeded. The kings, huh? Looks like Kent is really curious to know who I am? Sure then, I'll give him what he wants. Crimson Queen and Celestial Queen will be back being the Intruders.

Well, shits do happens.
