ALEXIA

I heard some doorknob clicks. I immediately raised my head up to see who it is.

Not long when the door opened in a harsh way slamming it to the wall so loudly. I saw two covered men come over with big guns and a woman I never expected to see...

Is that Lily?!

She flipped her hair dramatically with both of her hands as she walked toward me like a drag queen.

"Who is this again--holy shit-!"

She exclaimed when we had eye contact. A damn eye contact.

Between the two of us, bakit siya pa 'tong gulat na gulat?!

"You bitch! How'd you get in here?!" 

I unconsciously shouted at her with rage.

Her sassy expression quickly turned into a pale ass cheek. I couldn't wait any moment, with no hesitations, to punch her in her shitty face!

"W-what are you doing here?!" Lily returned the question to me with confusion also.

She looked totally different. She's wearing black leather long sleeves and shorts, and thigh-high boots, and her hair is neatly tied down.

"Leave us." Lily broke the silence. 

The two servants looked at her in unison. Then proceed to look back at me.

The way they follow orders from this bitch, all of this seems connected now.

"We're just outside if you need backup, Margaux." One of the servants said with a deep and middle-aged voice.

My jaw dropped at what I just heard. "What in the crap is that?!" Tumingin ulit ako kay Lily and her gaze hadn't left mine since the last minute. My voice is still strained, and my body is extremely numb. 

"Go." Lily said to his slaves.

In just one word of the latter, the servants slowly walked their way out of the door. They finally shut it close.

Lily left her gaze at me as she began to walk left and right looking like she was stressing over something.

"So this was what you said, Lily?! This is that group?!" I shouted again.

She finally looked up at me after seconds. "My predictions were damn right, I knew you'd get in here!" Lily sighed with stress in her voice.

Mabilis akong tumayo sa pagkakahiga at sumandal sa kahoy na headboard.

I got triggered by her answer. "What in the crappy black summer hell is this, Lily?! You're a member of Dark Dragons?! A damn group who kills people?! This has to be a joke!"

Lily was stunned in her position. "Everything is a complete joke starting from Adrian, Dragonite Bar, those two breadsticks, the bastard who knocked me out, Benshit Dover, Tobias Mitchell, and the old woman who got shot right beside me!

I was with Molly before I got in here! Now I don't even know where she is or if she's still alive! I can't help but blame it all on you, Lily Margaux, who was silent on all of this and you had the guts to boast your fucking predictions!" I shouted with anger and desperation.

"Listen to me, Alexia, you will never understand me even if I had told you everything!" Lily shouted back. "You don't know how many times I wanted to tell you about it." 

"Then why did you join here in the first place?!" I shouted again. I can't control my voice anymore. This girl right in front of me, whom I thought I knew for years was actually hiding so many secrets which I for once never thought she ever had.

"Explain everything to me, every single damn thing. Starting from why you're now right here in front of me with those servants." My voice cracked as my eyes slowly watered. This betrayal.

Lily's face turned serious. "I can't for now. I'm assigned to assist you on the ground floor together with the new recruits. Three days have passed since the recruits came here, including you perhaps." She said.

"Three days?" I unconsciously asked.

She nodded. "You're now one of their new recruits," Lily said with a serious tone.

What the hell?!

"Recruit of what? Recruit of this group with those psychopathic people?" I reacted. "Who are you kidding? I'm serving no one, you little bitch."

Lily gave me one last gaze then she already called her servants. "Remove her chains, now!"

The servants opened the door in a harsh way as they entered the room for the second time. Naglakad sila papunta saakin at pumunta sa magkabilaan kong mga braso.

They pulled out their keys and they started to open the chains in my wrists. When my arms are already free, I tried to let go as quickly as I can but not long before they gripped them both so strong that I can't do anything.

I looked the betrayer in the face. "Bring me out of this mess. I don't wanna be here." I seriously said to her.

The servant on my left forced me to stand up as he gripped my arm away from the bed. I finally stood up and my bare feet felt the cold steel floor.

Nanatili ang mga tingin ko kay Lily.

Lily slowly formed a smirk. "I don't really think so." Are her final words as she walked like a diva out of the room and the three of us started to follow. 

I've never felt more betrayed by her than I do now. She's no longer someone that I've known and have bled with.  

I'm not getting out of here, huh? She's dead once I lay my hands on that filthy face of hers!

'An ally has been slain!'

"Rushton, I need backup."

In the middle of defeating Chou and Natalia, the two of their strongest enemies in the game who have 'anime lover' usernames, I sniffed some aroma of ketchup and french fries on my left.

"Bone apple teeth, motherflunker." I managed to hear what Fawck said despite the loud sounds in my headset. He gave a fit of laughter afterward.

I continued to focus on the game. As I finally defeated Chou, Natalia was the last player running toward me and I almost have no health.

"Axe, where are you?" I asked Rushton beside me who was also focused on his monitor.

"Comin' right up!" Axe immediately said as he held his controller intensely. He left his gaze on his monitor for a second to take a handful of fries.

"Lesley you're using?" Fawck asked me from behind. From the looks of it, he's also watching the game.

"Yup. Natalia is hard to beat using this hero. Axe better use Gusion well, inunahan kasi ako ng kupal." I answered.

"Inunahan ako kay Fanny eh, putang 'kawaiixoxo' 'yun." Axe scoffed.

"It's always the anime usernames that nerf the most." Fawck munched a fry.

I sighed annoyingly after getting defeated by the Natalia user. Damn.

"Currently on 1v3 with tank users. Where in the Popeyes are the others?!" I watched Axe's monitor while I wait for my hero to heal, eating some fries in the process.

Fawck laughed behind us. "Run, dummy!"

"This is why I hate classics with random teens. Had to carry the group but this time we faced some serious enemies." I said as I munched the fries.

"You don't have me that's why," Fawck confidently said.

"As expected from this Pepero stick, always has been a narcissist." Clapped back but I quickly straightened my back as I wiped my oily fingers on my sweatpants. My hero is already healed.

Axe burst a loud laugh. "Not the Pepero stick!"

"Ah!" Fawck dramatically looked at me while holding his chest, showing an offended expression. "Not a good joke, Gusion user."

"Not gonna lie I felt pretty bad," I chuckled as I held the controller again. "But you're a good one though, Lancelot users are," I blew a kiss in the air together with my one hand. "Chef's kiss."

Fawck laughed in a boastful way. We proceed to focus on the game.

"Layla has been reminding me a lot of your brother's hair," Fawck blurted out.

"More like Luo Yi though, they also have the same aura," I said. Four of the enemies had already come to destroy our turrets and some on our team already died. Meanwhile, I was expecting Rushton to back me up but he suddenly became AFK.

"Axe, what now?" I said while hustling my hardest to kill enemies. After killing Sun, I glanced at my friend's monitor.

"Head Carreon is walking towards here, close the game!" 

Axe reacted. I saw the CCTVs on his monitor and he was right.

We all know where this is going. "Another defeat huh?" I facepalmed. I closed the game without even finishing it. Axe did the same thing.

Fawck chuckled behind us. "Being one of the Clevers seems fun." He said as he stretched his arms.

The big door opened as the three of us glanced behind. It was Carreon, the Head of Clevers group. He looked at us as he walked towards his main computer in the center area.

"Rushton, check the CCTVs of the recruits." 

Carreon ordered.

"Roger that!" Axe energetically said as he looked at his monitor.

"What about me, Head Carreon?" I raised my hands a little bit for him to see me.

"Nothing for today." Carreon gave me a small smile.

"Okay... Can I play?" I asked again formally.

"Wear headsets." He said shortly. I just nodded in response. I opened the tab of the game once again.

"Lucky bastard," Axe whispered beside me.

"Gutenberg, what brings you here today?" Carreon shifted his attention towards Fawck.

I noticed Axe on my side who looked as confused as ever while staring at his monitor intensely. "Shit... is that the intruder from the bar?" He whispered which I didn't hear clearly.

"Tutoring my pets in Mobile Legends, Sir Carreon." Fawck answered as he chuckled.

Carreon smirked. "Mobile Legends? That's a rookie game. Try Dark Souls or Sekiro sometime." He said as he already sat on his leather chair.

My monitor showed defeat and I could only frown. Tsk. I removed my headphones harshly.

"Shut up!"

All of a sudden, Rushton shouted as he almost jumped on his seat. Like a fool encountering a jumpscare.

"What?!"

Fawck and I said in unison as we both looked at his monitor. It was the CCTVs in the rooms of Recruits.

Out of all the eighteen cameras, one camera angle caught my attention. I froze.

"Isn't that..." Fawck also said in shock.

Is that...

"Your younger sis?" Axe finished Fawck's words as he looked at me.

I remained my eyes focused on that certain cam.

"Bro... This ain't good." Fawck said nervously.

I couldn't be able to process the truth as I stared at the girl's face, hoping it could morph into someone else's face and I was just hallucinating. She can't be my sister...

"Ayana is one of the recruits, Adrian."

To be continued...
