*night time*
Jay's pov:
My eyes opened. House was quiet. Too quiet which was good. I tried to move.
Slightly.
Keifer's hand immediately tightened around my waist. I took a deep breath. And slowly.
Very slowly.
Wiggled myself out of his strong grip. He felt like a human seatbelt that would never let go. Which was good and hard to breathe.
I walked closer to my wardrobe pulling out a mask and a black hoodie. Before leaving I kissed keifer on his forehead.
"Mahal ni kita." I whispered gently.
I closed the my door. I was assassin venom. No longer the Mariano princess Jay. I have work. To kill people who have put prices on me amd Jare.
"Jay." Jare whispered coming out of his room.
I nodded in response.
We travelled to the destination where the mythical were waiting. Mia is part of the mythical but not an assassin. Jare didn't want her to kill. He didn't want her hand to be stained like his.
By the time we reached the destination, mythical had formed a circle waiting just for us. Jason and Caroline made a small gap letting me and Jare enter this circle.
"What's the news?" Jare asked in a low, rough and calm voice.
The air here felt suffocating. It was too calm. Something didn't settle right. I wasn't focusing on whatever the gang was telling us. I was looking around, my eyes scanning slowly for anyone.
My hand slowly slipped to my pocket knife. While my other hand slid to my gun. Ready to attack anytime.
"Jay!" Jare yelled.
I snapped out of my defence.
"It does not feel safe." I whispered to everyone. I let my instincts work. My heart skipped a beat. Adrenaline making my stomach curl. The others immediately slowly moved towards their gun.
BANG!
A gunshot.
We immediately ran through different direction for defense and a perfect attack. Something hit my head. A rod.
It was heavy, I felt dizzy. The blood flowed. I saw it. I licked it.
Everything went black.

Keifer's pov:
I wanted to pull her closer all I could feel was the coldness of the mattress. I snapped my eyes open, my vision blurred but eventually cleared my eyes searched for her.
I checked for her at the bedroom. The entire house silently.
"Kuya keifer."
I turned. Dane stood there. He raised a brow
"Searching for Ate I believe?"
I nodded.
He told me a location immediately. I pulled up my car immediately to reach that place.
The place was big.
Too big.
I walked around this huge area just to find the entrance. When I finally found it. Blood.
Too much blood.
Fear crawled immediately.
I searched for her moving past so many blood.
So many dead bodies. I really hoped she wasn't stuck in a bad situation.
I spotted then.
Mythical.
Caroline
Eliot
Sarah
Lia
I rushed to them.
"Where is Jay?!" I panicked.
"What are you doing here?!" Lia hissed
"Just answer... please where is she?" I pleaded.
Sarah was about to speak. When Eliot gestured his hand which shut her up.
"Come with me." Eliot said in a calm voice. But he was worried. I noticed. He was sweating.
He gilded me towards an area where I saw Jason treating Jay. Her head.... The blood was still flowing, while Jare's wounded arm was getting cleaned Arthur.
Savannah was clinging to Jay like Jay was her life.
My jaw clenched.
I grabbed the cotton from Jason's hand. Immediately crouching down to help Jay with bandaging. Arthur stopped cleaning jare's wound. They were seeing me.
I glared at savannah's hand and then at her.
Savannah rolled her eyes and then let Jay's hand go.
"What are you doing here asshole?" Jare asked.
"Worried about my wife obviously!" I snapped.
" go out." Jare commanded.
Arthur
Savannah
Jason
Looked at him for a sec then left silently.
I didn't need answer from him. I needed answer from my wife.
My Jay.
"Jay won't you explain to me..." I asked gently looking at her eyes.
My eyes slowly moved to her bandage, which made my heart ache.
I hated her getting hurt for any reason.
"Keifer...." She whispered.
Her lips parted.
