✑ Capítulo 2
AUSTIN'S body was shaking when his attention swift into Larkspur who has a worried expression on his face. “You’re spacing out, dingleberry,” Larkspur spoke with a gruff.
He knew that he’s drunk but he can still think clearly.
He didn’t look up at Larkspur who’s now sitting beside him, he was patting his back.
“You know dingleberry? It’s okay to be sad and all but you have to accept it. Don't lock yourself in the past,” Larkspur said, he was patting his back. Austin's head was low and his palm was on his forehead.
“I can’t…” Larkspur just listened and stayed by his side. “I didn’t even have a chance to say how much I love them, if I only knew. If I only knew.”
Larkspur could feel the agony of Austin. The only thing Larkspur can do was to be by his side and never leave him behind.
He hates seeing his best friend like this, he wants him to keep looking forward but the thought of his parents impacted his life.
He was still searching for his parents even if he hasn't heard anything from them for a decade.
They went silent, even if Austin wasn't crying, Larkspur could really feel the pain through his heavy breathing.
Minutes later, Efron popped out of nowhere to tell them to get ready.
Austin raised his head then reached for his rapier. He looked up the wall clock, it was already 2 in the morning.
He heaved a sigh, they started to depart from Lysandros' house where their drinking spree took place that just started earlier.
Austin, Lawrence, Divine, Larkspur, Efron, Lysandros, Lennon, Lazzini, and Anthony boarded in their battle aircraft.
They began to take off the same time the handmade sky started to open.
They got out, the transparent tunnel greeted them where various of fishes can be seen in the background.
They are focusing on their own things. They are nearing to their destination, which is located under the ground. Triumvir's nest.
Austin pressed his back on his seat. They’ve finally found their other nest. They can now save those innocent people who are suffering from that evil in nature.
They will be reassured, finally, they can help the victims' cases. Even if they do can't save everyone in a hurry, they will not stop until something like this still happens in the world.
“Device check. Can you clearly hear me?” Larkspur pronounced on his microphone, he was fast typing on his laptop.
“Yes, dingleberry.” They answered in chorus.
“Ready for take-off in three…two…” The seven of them readied themselves for takeoff. “One…” Lysandros ended.
They fell in the air at the same time, when they are near hitting the ground they pulled the string that was connected to the bag that will spread their wings.
They announced their safe landing, without making any small sound they began to move around.
“There’s a tree on your side, Ant, pull down the branch that tree will open,” Lysandros denoted.
When the door opened the tube was the first thing they saw that will lead them underground where Triumvir's testing ground is located.
“There are around thirty persons when you got in. Please make it faster,” Larkspur reminded.
“L, Cleo, and Aust go downstairs immediately, every door that you'll see have the victims inside. Div and Renzo, follow the three until you reach their office. Find any useful information about this motherfuckass.” They nodded at what Lysandros said.
“Ant, Laz, and Lios kindly kill those fuckhead who’s blocking their way," Larkspur added.
After a minute or so, Austin got irritated when he heard Larkspur any Lysandros' long sigh in the other line. "Do you guys know how loud your breath is?" he tsked.
“Sorry, dingleberry, we can visibly see how these men do horrible things to those innocent involved here.” Larkspur was aghast.
“Yea, so make it faster so we can take them away from this hellhole. God, those poor children,” Lysandros said, Austin could imagine his friends' feelings at that time.
Five minutes passed and there are thirty men attacked them, it was handled by Anthony and Lazzini.
Lennon, Efron, and Austin go downstairs as Lawrence and Divine were behind them then turned right after.
The three remained walking to their designated lane until they're at the edge of the room that has three doors.
No light was seen there, it was pure blackness.
Its space wasn't expected to be large, in fact, it seems that the victims are compressed which causes the mixed odors there.
"Renzo and Div, go upstairs. The children are there. Ten armed forces are gathered there, be careful." Austin heard Lysandros.
He turned his attention on his two friends. "I'll take west." Lennon marched towards the door on the west.
While Efron pointed the right door. "I'll go there. Good luck, dingleberry." Then headed to the right room.
Austin ran towards the center, even if the metal door was securely locked he got in easefully
As the door screeched open his eyes darkened at the sight he saw.
Twenty men stopped from what they're doing when they got a signal coming from Austin.
Austin didn’t hold back his anger. He attacked the men fearlessly, he doesn’t care even if he broke their bones.
"Aust, please don't use your sword," Larkspur warned when he was about to take his rapier in his hip holster.
"Their blood will scatter everywhere, dingleberry!" He didn't hear what his friends said to him, he stayed deaf.
After finishing the other men he focused on the remaining ten in that room.
He was gracefully slicing the men to death, he didn’t mind even if blood splashed on his face and body and when he finished the last man Larkspur announced that the mission has ended successfully.
He heard Larkspur clicked his tongue. "Aust, please hold back your anger." He didn't listen to what his friend said.
He let out a deep sigh when Austin saw their abolisher, they started clearing up the place while the others assisted the victims to send them to Helios' hospital to check if there are complications with the victims.
“Lazzini, get ready to melt the place down,” Lysandros said in the other line.
At the corner of his eye, he saw a woman. Her feminine area was exposed barely. He looked to their men, no one was assisting the woman, they were all busy with other victims.
He returned his gaze on her. Her body was trembling with coldness, she was unconscious.
FAUZIA kept running to nowhere. The place was pure black, no ray of light was seen. A strange disturbing noise lingered, she stopped running then tried to listen to where it was coming. She followed the noise even if the way she was walking was pitch black, Fauzia tried to investigate what type of creature she was hearing. When the noise became more vivid hundreds of bolts of lightning struck her whole. It wasn’t some kind of a creature. It’s more like a scream of a person. She steps back when the sound worsened. The deafening scream of torment rang in her ears. With the force of its effect on her, she did not realize that she was sitting down on the ground. She had even covered her ears but it still not relieved the pain
✑ Capítulo 76AUSTIN caught the shot glass that Neron threw at him. “You should not have come here, second director. “ Neron was rigid, he threw a bottle of rum on his direction again.He had no intention of drinking, all he went to was Neron to find out the answers that was bothering in his mind.“I just wanted to be sure if Emo is safe with you.” Austin has already started filling his shot glass with rum. “You could have just go to us in the right way, I will understand you,” he said calmly to the front.Neron scoffed at what he heard from Austin. “Didn’t you’re friends told you? And come on, you have a wife and I assume she’s already pregnant? You’ll do the same if you were in my shoe.”Austin did not look at Neron, he just listen
✑ Capítulo 75FAUZIA was now completely in front of Austin and he still did not move from his position. She bumped her elbow on his flank.When he woke up, it was as if cold water had poured on Austin because of the shock on his face. “You looked bothered, is there something bothering you, my love?”He wrapped his arm around her back to guide her inside.“It’s nothing. I was just spacing out.” He laughed, it sounded empty. “Why didn’t I saw you arrived?” Austin asked, leaving the feeling behind.“We passed in the back because your great friend bought a lot of things,” she said, referring to Efron.Austin was about to answer when suddenly a bullet burst from inside.Austin felt
✑ Capítulo 74LENNON and Lazzini looked at each other for the fifth time, they have this unknowing looked when they heard another sigh from Austin.Two of Austin’s friends couldn’t remember how many times he sighed from time to time. Because of annoyance, Lazzini asked him.“Dingleberry, what’s up with you? You looked bothered obviously.” He rolled his eyes when he heard an exaggerated sigh from Austin again.“Stop it.” It’s now Lennon’s turn to speak. “You’re annoying.”Austin’s eyes shut closed. He’s frustrated and worried, it’s making him sick. “I don’t really know why I’m feeling like this but there’s a part of me that is hesitating to celebrate Emo’s first year with us outside SJ.&
✑ Capítulo 73HIS head was still on Fauzia’s palm when he heard her moan and get up with her eyes still closed.Austin sat up properly and supported his love to lie down again, he could feel her gasping. His wife has difficulty breathing.“Lie down first…” he said, adjusting her head on her pillow. “How are you feeling, mon amour?”Fauzia still did not open her eyes but now she was holding her forehead and her breathing was already calm.“I’m okay, my head still hurts a bit but it’s tolerable. Wait, what happened?” Her eyes are already open.Austin flipped her hair over her shoulder before leaning to give Fauzia a peck kiss on her lips. “You blackout suddenly, after our exchange of vows. Is there anythin
✑ Capítulo 72THEIR eyes met at the same time before they held each others’ hands. He felt the coldness of Fauzia’s palm even though it was sweating.The priest looked at Austin. “Do you Austin take Fauzia Niryana Alfonso to be your wife, will you love her and comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health. Forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live if do you, say I do.”With eyes smiling the same with his lips while looking at her radiant beauty, he answered, “Yes, definitely. I do.”The priest is now looking at Fauzia. She nervously gulped, still remained composed even if her vision is becoming blurry.“Do you Fauzia take Austin Devereux Sevilla to be your husband, will you love him and comfort him, honor and keep him in
