VICTIM 15 : O (Part One)
VICTIM 15 : O
LADY Clinton was worried because of Celine.
Pero wala itong magagawa dahil alam nito na matigas talaga ang ulo ng dalaga.
Sa taong pagtatrabaho nito ay hindi man lang nakitaan ni Lady Clinton na nagdadalawang isip si Celine, she never saw her having difficulty of thinking. Celine is always quick to decide and precise to take an action.
She is always determined.
And nothing can change her mind.
Now that Lady Clinton knows that Celine doesn't have the strength that their organization gave her. She knows that Celine will not make it in time.
Kapag malaman ng headmistress ang kalagayan ni Celine.. Tiyak na magagalit ito.
The headmistress doesn't like weak people.
I just hope Celine will be alright after this.
Losing that substance to her body was like losing a battery.
Lady Clinton hopes that the headmistress will consider what happened and forgive Celine.
"We are here.
H.O.M.E is expecting us already. I received a call while you're asleep earlier.. And I mentioned you already.." Lady Clinton paused. Grabbing her bag on the backseat.
"Wear this. "
Ani Lady Clinton na tinugunan naman ni Lady Sy ng pagtango.
Madaliang sinuot ng dalaga ang isang uniporme bilang pagpapanggap sa mata ng mga tao.
Si Lady Clinton naman ay nagsuot ng wig at salamin.
Bumaba sa sasakyan ang dalawang dalaga at nagumpisa nang magtungo sa gusali kung saan naroon ang kanilang Boss.
They should not be seen in public, but this is the fastest way.
And nothings gonna happen. They are in disguise anyways.
Lady Sy needed that substance as soon as possible. Kaya bawat pagpatak ng oras ay para na ring pagkalas ng kanyang buhay at lakas.
Alam ni Lady Sy na ang likidong itinurok sa kanya nuon ay hindi basta bastang nagagawa.
They need to have your blood first as a sample and they will run multiple tests to finalize the substance.
The substance was deadly.
It is something that you really need to think through.
Nagpatuloy sa paglalakad sina Lady Sy hanggang sa marating nila ang main door ng gusali.
It looks like a normal museum at first but you don't know what's underneath the iceberg.
Hindi napapansin ng mga tao ang kalagayan ni Lady Sy marahil ang kanilang atensyon ay nakatuon sa mga obra at mga bagay na nasa loob ng museyo. No one noticed her lookin' like hell. We should have headed to the secret door, yet my wounds can't take it anymore. I need to treat myself quickly.
There's no time to burn.
The museum was spacious alright.
But it's even more spacious underneath.
Like there's an actual battlefield sitting right below their feet.
Pero sa kabila ng mga espasyong iyon.
Iyon lang ang pinakamadali o pinakamaikling daan para makapunta ka kaagad sa kailaliman.
"What happened here?" tanong ni Lady Sy kay Lady Clinton nang makarating sila sa ilalim ng museyo.
Lady Sy scanned her surroundings and she can say that.. Those dead bodies.. Wearing black gear and a mask is really familiar to her.
"Ambushed. That's why I'm called here.
I was in Japan as always, but the HQ called. They said that these assassins are from the country I'm in.
And it happened that you're there too. So I'm quite thinking a lot about it. "
"But don't worry. No one escaped alive.
This is where H.O.M.E is after all"
Matamis na ngumiti si Lady Clinton habang naglalakad sa gitna ng magulong lugar.
The blood, the damage, and the bodies are being handled by the Cleaners.
It smells like an absolute sh!t in there, but they are all okay with it... Like it's the most normal thing ever.
Sa kabilang banda, hindi mapigilan ni Lady Sy na mapangiwi bigla dahil sa sakit na nararamdaman.
Kung hindi lang sana sya naturukan ng likidong 'yon, edi sana wala syang mararamdaman ngayon na sobrang sakit.
Noon, kaya nyang tiisin ang bala na tumatama sa katawan nya.
She can even cut her skin open without flinching.
She can handle those bruises without feeling like hell.
Ngayon?
Hindi nya kaya.
Sobra-sobra ang sakit na nararamdaman nya kung kaya't sa bawat hakbang na ginagawa nya ay nagiging maingat sya.
Mierda!
"Hang on, We're almost there."
Ani Lady Clinton.
Narating ng dalawang dalaga ang mistulang klinika kung saan lilinisan muna ang mga sugat ni Celine.
Lady Clinton just provided the materials and she just let Lady Sy treat her own.
That's what she wants.
And I can't stand her stubbornness.
Nang matapos na ang dalaga, agad silang lumabas sa mistulang klinika upang magpatuloy sa paglalakad.
Lady Clinton offered some pain killers but this hard headed Lady Sy didn't accept it.
That's why I don't like to have someone with me.
It's such a pain in the a*s.
Lady Clinton sighed.
Ilang segundo pa ang lumipas bago nila tuluyang marating ang opisina ng kanilang boss na si Boss .
She has a huge house after all. It will really took you seconds into minutes to go to one place to another.
The underground was sleek and modern, all the corners are shouting elegance and perfection.
Even the door's shadow is freakin' perfectly aligned to the floor's design.
Pagkapasok na pagkapasok palang ng dalawang dalaga sa opisina ng kanilang boss ay nag-iba na agad ang atmospera ng paligid.
Nakatalikod ang kanilang boss, tila may tinitignan.
Of course, their boss felt a presence and she immediately wear her broken mask. One that she's looking at just now.
Nang humarap ang kanilang Boss ay nagulat nang bahagya ang dalawang dalaga.
Their Boss' face was never revealed.
And yet here she is, standing in front of them with a broken mask.
"Boss.. Your mask.." Lady Clinton worriedly mentioned.
Ang maskara ng kanilang Boss ay may sira na kung kaya't nakikita na ang kaliwang mata nito.
When Headmistress Olivia saw Lady Sy, she walks towards her and slapped Lady Sy really hard.
"Did I trained you to be THIS miserable?"
Malamig na tanong ng ginang.
Lady Sy didn't flinched. Or should I say, she's trying her best not to.
"How dare you step into my house looking like a mess!"
"You dare to come here with those bandages?!"
"My apologies Headmistress."
Lady Sy spoke with a dead tone.
"But I'm here to waste no time, Boss.
I need to kill someone immediately. I need that substance. "
Headmistress just smirked painfully under her mask.
"Since when did you lost that substance in your body?"
"Just this week. Boss."
"Impossible!"
Headmistress Olivia angrily shouted.
"Lady Clinton called me and she said you're having nightmares!
You are dreaming Lady Sy!
Do you know what that means?! "
No response.
"That means the substance in your body just vanished long ago!"
"That's why I'm asking this.
When did you f*cking lose that substance?
You are becoming weaker day by day and someone injected you another substance that makes you more weak!"
I lost that substance.. Long ago?
But how?
Lady Sy can't seem to understand what's her Boss was saying. She's so confused. She can't help but to show her clueless expression.
Headmistress Olivia sighed.
" Let me rephrase that. "
" Since when did you have those nightmares?"
Lady Sy's heart beats rapidly as she remembers her memories.
She knows the answer but she's unable to say it aloud.
A month after I met Thorn.
"Years ago, Boss."
Sa tatlong salita ni Lady Sy ay parang sinaksak ng malaking kutsilyo sa puso ang kanilang headmistress.
She's not expecting that answer at all.
"H-how are you still alive then.."
"Boss are you alright?"
Ani Lady Clinton na ipinagtaka ni Lady Sy.
Their Boss never acts this way.
Something is wrong.
"There are only two ways for that substance to vanish. One, if you took a substance or Two,
If you felt strong emotion for someone.
Both will end in one way.
It's been a year, you say.
How long can your body handle it. How long can you grasp for your life?"
" You will die sooner or later Lady Sy. ——
——And I can't help you with that. "
" Boss what do you mean.. It's Lady Sy.. We should help her—"
" The lab was burned Lady Clinton!
Nobody can make another substance aside from Dr. Stone
And that doctor was killed, right in front of me! "
Their boss sat on the chair. Unable to accept what's gonna happen next.
Lady Sy on the other hand, was thinking deeply.
Her boss never acts this way.
She raised her voice multiple times.
And she's showing emotions.
Interesting.
Imbes na mag-alala ang dalaga dahil posibleng mamatay sya ano mang oras ay mas pinangunahan sya ng kuryosidad.
What's happening to you, Boss?
" This organization? It will soon fall.
We did manage to kill those f*ckers and no one escaped alive. ——"
" —But that's just the beginning. "
Bahagyang lumingon ang kanilang boss sa gawing kanan at pinakatitigan ang nakasulat sa pader.
It's written on Japanese characters.
Lady Clinton can't help but to read it aloud.
" There is.. more to come"
"Lady Clinton. I summoned you here so that I can discuss this matter to you. Do you know any organization that can do this?" ani Headmistress Olivia.
Matyaga namang naghintay ng sagot si Lady Sy.
She needs to be sure of something.
"There is one. The Skulled Gang. Like us, they also have an underground base. But I can't keep track to their whereabouts.
They are skilled. They have a leader in their group. I met one of them and had him confessed before his death.
But, If that organization can send a company of assassins at once..
I think.. They have multiple bases..
Multiple leaders.. But one Master. "
Skulled Gang. Lady Sy whispered to her mind.
Flashes of memories filled her mind.
It's when she's in Draco's house.
A guy entered with a skull mask, wearing a black gear that night, just like those corpses.
And by that, Lady Sy remembered something.
"Are you familiar with this weapon?"
Lady Sy asked.
Showing Lady Clinton a knife that Draco gave her.
"Yes. This design.. It's from— where did you get that?"
Lady Clinton asked.
"It was given.. By that man in the house where you picked me up."
Ani Lady Sy.
Si Headmistress Olivia ay muling napabuntong hininga sa natutunghayan.
"Stay out of Japan. That's my last request as your Boss.
We are not gonna fight back.
It's too risky..
I can't stand to lose another member of this organization."
Lady Sy was so surprised of her Boss' statement.
Now she's quitting.
Oh, Boss. You should've told me earlier.
"Aren't we suppose to fight, Boss?" Ani Lady Clinton.
"I trained you to fight for justice, to help those people who can't help themselves!
I didn't trained you to die."
"We are yet to step on a war zone.
We still have time to turn back while we can."
Their headmistress was showing bunch of emotions in just a couple minutes. Raised her voice plenty of times.
There is only one visible answer to Celine's questions.
"Now leave." Ani Headmistress.
Tumango naman si Lady Clinton at humakbang na papaalis.
While Celine on the other hand, didn't move an inch.
Causing Headmistress Olivia to wonder.
"Since when did you learn how to quit, Boss?" panimula ni Celine na ikinahinto ni Lady Clinton sa paglalakad.
"I'm observing you a while ago, and it seems like you're more irritated..
More angry than I am.
You're expressions are more visible than the usual.
Like you're experiencing what I'M experiencing, Boss. "
Celine chuckled a little.
Ni kahit minsan ay hindi nakaramdam si Celine ng kahit anong ekspresyon ng Headmistress.
Their Boss was always distant and unreadable.
Now that Celine noticed her sudden changes, she's certain that her Boss is experiencing the same thing.
And there is only one possible answer at this situation.
"That organization we're talking about, the Skulled Gang, doesn't have a substance on their own.
And you know that there are only two ways to make that substance vanish."
Humakbang si Celine papalapit sa Headmistress upang pakatitigan ang kaliwang mata nito.
"Let me ask again , Boss.."
" Did you felt a strong emotion for someone?—"
"——Did you.. Lost that substance in your body too? "
Ani Celine na ikinatigil ng kanilang Headmistress.
Si Lady Clinton naman ay bahagyang napalingon kay Celine dahil tila nawalan ito ng respeto sa ginang.
" You said that I will die sooner or later boss. —"
" ——And so are you. "
Celine low key smirked because she can see her Boss' left eye, flickering with emotions.
She's not even stopping me.
So it's really true then?
How funny.
" —We're on the same boat, Boss. But I'm facing North, and you're facing South ."
She paused.
"I'd rather die, satisfied that I fought for my life.
—Than to be a coward and run away like what you're planning to do."
Celine smiled so sweetly and she averted her eyes from the Headmistress.
"Je m’attends à ce que tu visites ma tombe avec des fleurs bien tôt, Boss. Au revoir."
( I'm expecting you to visit my grave with flowers soon, Boss. Goodbye.)
And by that? Celine turned her back, and she made her way out of the office. Leaving Lady Clinton and the Headmistress alone.
Habang naglalakad si Celine sa pasilyo ay gumagawa na sya ng plano sa kanyang isip.
After she heals, she will come back to that house in Japan.
That organization just destroyed Lady Sy's hope.
They killed Dr. Stone .. my only hope to live long.
So I'm gonna kill them one by one first.
And she's gonna start with Draco's friend.
The guy who's wearing a skulled mask.
She's going to kill that guy without knowing that he's actually...
Thorn Amadeus.
.

(A/N: Yare ka Thorn.
Vitamin C mo galit na lol. 😂 )
