The knock that sounded at her door wasn't unexpected. She opened it, ushering the girl inside.
“Sit down. You want something to drink?”
“Something to calm my nerves, please.”
She nodded and went to her cabinet of herbs, remedies, and potions, all homemade.
“Why so nervous? You never are?”
“I know. But I had to get out.”
“You avoided the question.”
The two looked at each other. The older sighed.
“I'll get us refreshments, then you can tell me.”
“Thank you.”
She nodded again, heading to the kitchen. She started a pot of boiling water and set to fixing a snack. Her eyes landed on a crystallized rose and she shuddered.
“You okay?”
“I'm fine.”
She grabbed the tray of pagkain and drinks, setting it on the mesa in front of her guest.
“Okay. Tell me.”
“Have a upuan first.”
She sighed and took a chair. She looked across from her, to the couch.
“Alright Becca. What's so urgent that you had to come here?”
Becca put the drink she had sipped from down. She forced a smile.
“Have you noticed anything strange?”
“Strange how?”
Becca looked out the window, watching the wildlife around her. She pulled her knees to her chest.
“Strange like...you know you've done something but you can't remember what it was. Like you've been surrounded sa pamamagitan ng enemies but didn't fight them. Like you have a fear of something that you just can't place. A fear that...never leaves your mind, letting you know it's there.”
Becca looked back to her hostess.
“Have you felt like that Dev?”
The angel looked at her, eyes cloudy.
“I have.”
“So have I. And Erin.”
“What does it mean, Becca?”
“I have no clue, but I think we'll find out soon. Everyone.”
The two sat for a minuto in silence.
“Becca,what if we have become the reason there's so much tension in the team?”
“What do you mean?”
“I've heard a few things. Whispers of conversations. But you apparently had some kind of fall in with Bloodmist.”
Becca blinked.
“Why would I? I don't mind him being anywhere close to the team.”
“I know. That's why I'm confused.”
Becca nodded. She looked at her Angel friend.
“Devin, what have you experienced?”
“Becca, what I say susunod can not be repeated.”
“I promise.”

Revenge slipped a dagger into his hands. Onlookers watched nervously. Revenge calculated at least three hundred. He couldn't let them get hurt. He couldnt let the girl he loved get hurt.
"Targeting system lock on." he whispered.
The gun was cocked against Holly's head. "Choose who you pag-ibig more! Who?! Her, or me? This little asong babae who abandoned you, or the one who stayed with you? All the way through?"
"Targeting System locked." the computer read.
Revenge raised his hand slowly, as if in slow motion. His arm moved forward. The crowd caught it's breath. The handle left his hand and the point sped the thirty yard gap and...
Power Corrupts.
Power Seduces.
If weaved correctly,
It can make even the greatest among us
Fall.
The story that changes everything,
