Chapter-213

King

Jay-jay's POV

My fist is shaking. I've already been knocked down five times and
writhing in pain but the others still won't stop. Someone will get up and try to get back at me. "Give up now."
Jason teased. "You idiot!" It would have been nice if someone had come to save me when I gave up, but they
didn't. It didn't seem like he really cared about me. I touched the side of my cheek, which was getting hot. I had
been hit by a punch earlier. It was annoying! I felt weak. I reshaped my arms to block anything that would hit
me. Whether it was someone's fist or foot. Not long after, one of them threw another punch at me. It hit my
arm and I almost fell over but I managed to stand up. I kicked him in the stomach and he almost threw up
before falling. "Jason! This woman is so strong!" Another complained. "It's annoying. Make it quick!" He
ordered. Suddenly, he rushed at me. They all came at once. I received one punch after another to my body. I
tried to protect my head. Why was I having such a hard time? I tried to fight back with punches and kicks from
them but they were just using the opportunity to beat me up. How many times did they punch me in the
stomach and arm? Why did I let them do this to me? Was Jason's words affecting me ? Was he affecting me
by the fact that he really didn't care about me? That I was just a toy for the King of the Demonic Cobras? I lost
my concentration. One of them kicked my leg and that caused me to fall to the floor. They were kicking me
like a rag. "It won't last long." Jason whispered. Suddenly they stopped kicking me and slowly moved away. My
eyes were wet with tears that didn't fall. I was so angry! They were going to be mad... "They're coming too."
One of them said. I raised my gaze and our eyes met. I couldn't detect any emotion in him. He was standing at
the entrance and I couldn't see anyone behind him. He was alone? "You've been here for a while... Don't tell me
you were trafficked, you were just outside." Jason said angrily. I forced myself to get up and crawled closer to
the wall. I leaned against it while I was lying on the floor. My whole body hurt. I think they even hit my chest. I
was a little shocked to see the King looking at me. It was as if he was wondering how bad I had been. Nothing
could be worse than what I had been through with you, you animal! "Oh... I think we went too far." Jason said
again while seeming worried . "...You've been waiting so long. We tripped over him." Keifer looked at Jason's
companions one by one. "What happened to you?" He asked me bored. "They're few, but you can't beat them?"
Wow ah? When I was with him, he really expected me to fight. He thought I would probably knock them down
that's why he didn't come in here right away even though he was just outside earlier. So meow! I just gave him
a hard time as an answer. I didn't want to make excuses for him. But after all, he was the reason why I lost.
"Your girlfriend and I can't handle it." One of them said. "She's not my boyfriend." "She's not my girlfriend." We
said at the same time and we immediately exchanged evil looks. You're a fool! I want to gouge out his
eyeballs. I'll make a ping pong ball. "Ouch... The news seems true. Keifer used a woman to get revenge on his
enemy." Jason teased. If only I hadn't been knocked down earlier, I would have knocked him down with a
punch. My breath caught even though I was leaning against the wall and doing nothing. My chest ached with
every breath I took. "Shut the fvck up, Jason." The Dimunyung King said sternly. The crazy Jason just laughed
out loud. He moved away from leaning against the wall and took off his jacket. The mud felt bad boy. Like the
King of Dimunyung Ulopong. "What do you want?" the King asked. Jason's smile disappeared and his
eyebrows gradually crossed. "I want you dead Keifer." Suddenly, he threw a chair at Keifer and quickly came
closer to punch him. It was pointless because Hari dodged the one he threw and blocked his punch with one
hand. That's when I realized that Jason was bigger than Keifer but it seemed like it was easy for him to fight
this Friday the 13th. Oh, Keifer lost, Jason had some impact. Keifer kicked Jason back and he immediately
threw himself away. His companions were about to approach him but he signaled with his hand 'don't'. Jason
stood up again and his face was clearly burning with anger. He rushed in again and exchanged punches with
Keifer. Hari did the same. While watching them, I forced myself to stand up properly. My breathing was fine
but the pain in my body was still there . Keifer picked up the nearest chair and threw it at Jason. They looked
like toys that had come loose and were scattered everywhere. I looked at Jason's companions as they were
grabbing something inside the store----it looked like a kitchen. A knife!! "Keifer! They have a knife!" I shouted.
Jason backed away and one of his companions rushed at him holding a knife. He was about to stab him but
just grazed him. He immediately punched him in the jaw causing him to lose consciousness. But then Jason
kicked him. He fell like a doll thrown at him. Things happened so fast. He was obviously having a hard time
standing up from what was done to him. I looked at Jason's companions. It was like they were talking and the
rest of them were coming closer to me. Just stop! My body hasn't recovered yet, Pres! They were about to
grab me but I punched him in the face first. He fell down with blood coming out of his nose. "You're really
tough, aren't you!" The other one said angrily and kicked me in the side. Before it hit me, I grabbed his leg and
kneed his alak-alakan (back of the knee). He was writhing in pain. There were only three of them in front of me
now. They were looking at me with evil eyes and seemed to be reading my next move. They gradually
approached me and I almost pinned myself to the wall as I moved away from them. Spectrum Petro----huh?! I
don't have a magic wand. Suddenly, one of them lunged forward. I ducked to avoid it. I was about to punch
him from below but my punch hit his elbow. The anes.... The thing... Stop it! Iihhh! Disgusting! My fist touched
his chin! Damn! In my extreme disgust, I punched my opposite man with my fist. I hit him in the jaw---knock
out. There was only one in front of me. He looked at me with evil eyes. He acted like he was going to lunge so
I was startled but it just went away. This is stupid! I also acted like I was going to rush in but he suddenly
backed away as if he was scared. He leaned against the table and fell over with him. What a coward! An
animal! This man will make me angry. I looked at Keifer and them. The remaining Jason companion from
earlier had already fallen. Now it was just the two of them facing each other. But if I were lucky, someone
suddenly walked up to me while pointing a knife at my neck. "Keifer..." The man behind me called. Keifer and
Jason looked at us. Stupid Jason smiled and sighed. "Let's see if Keifer has anything to do with you." He told
me. What if he doesn't? Am I going to boom? I looked at Keifer. I almost begged him to save me. But my heart
sank----it was already broken----when he looked back at the enemy. "Can you do it?" Keifer asked. None of us
knew who he was asking. I frowned as he smirked. "Can you do it?" He kept repeating. I looked at the one
holding me but even he was confused. Jason and I were also constantly looking at each other. "Can you do
it?" I think the idiot has a broken license plate. Over and over! Unlimited! Until I realized he was asking me.
How? I don't know, he just kept on asking me, especially when I looked at my hand holding the man's arm
behind me. I looked back at Keifer. He seemed to get it that I knew what he meant. He smiled and slightly
tilted his body. "One!" He shouted. Jason was clearly confused, he kept looking at the two of us. "Two!" I
shouted. The one behind me tightened his grip on me but I had my hand ready. "THREE!" We both shouted. I
held his knife-holding hand with one hand and I elbowed him with the other. He let go of me and I took the
opportunity to elbow him in the face. Meanwhile, Keifer jumped into the air while spinning and kicked Jason in
the face. The man holding me and Jason fell at the same time. A moment of silence to catch our breath. We
both caught our breath. I looked around to see if anyone else would stand up and attack us. Keifer did the
same. Our eyes met and for some reason I couldn't understand.... We laughed. We laughed as if what
happened was funny. We laughed as if we agreed to disagree. Nothing more... We were both going crazy. But
our laughter faded when the truth hit us. The truth was that someone wanted to kill me and him. It made my
knees go weak. Keifer stepped closer to me and I did the same to him. It was as if my arms had a mind of
their own and I hugged him. He hugged me back and held on tight. Wait a minute! Why are you hugging me?! I
let go and tried to push him away but he didn't budge. No hug! Nothing like that! He must be angry! "H-hey...
W-why are you hugging me?" I asked him a few times. His hug tightened even more. "You want this... I'm just
giving it to you." Whut?! I want it? Then his hug tightened. How strange! "W-can you let go." I said. "Are you
sure? It seems like you still want it." Was it really me who wanted it? "I'm sure... L-let go." I replied while trying
to push him away. "I can feel it... You still want it." Oh my god! You really let me go! It was obvious that he
really wanted it. I couldn't say anything about this Cobra being a Cobra. I just felt him pressing my head
against his chest. I could hear the strength of his heartbeat. He was screaming! I'm Cobra! I'm Cobra! I'm
Cobra!----that's what he said! We must be so angry. Because he hurt me. He doesn't love me. But why is this?
Why do I feel like time stops? Why do I feel like we're just like this? It's so good to hear his heartbeat. It
seemed to be in sync with my heartbeat. Maybe he was right, I really wanted his hug. "I know... You really want
it." He whispered to me. Even though I couldn't see his face, I could feel it. He was smiling while telling me
that. To be honest, I was confused, because here he was again. He made it seem like there was something
there but there really wasn't. So even though I wanted to stay in his arms longer, I did what I thought was right.
"Let go. I'm talking." I said seriously. It seemed like he got the idea that I wasn't joking around anymore at this
point. He slowly let go and I took the opportunity to push him away. My tears were streaming down my cheeks
because of the pain I was feeling. Not in my body but inside. I really didn't want to cry, I felt my weakness. So
no matter what fight, injection or tease, I didn't cry. But this man. Just by his presence, my tears were pleading
and they seemed afraid of becoming a muta. He didn't speak but I knew he wanted to ask. I too... I wanted to
ask too. Because my brain was so tired wondering if there was really something. "What are you doing?" I
asked calmly. His forehead furrowed slightly. I knew he was confused by what I said. "...What are you doing?
Why are you coming to me again? Why are you showing a motive again? Why are you making me feel like
there is something? Why? Why are you doing this?" I asked one question after another . He looked away and
seemed to look around. "It's late... I'll take you." He said and was about to grab my hand but I immediately
avoided it. "Go away if you want. But I won't come with you." "Jay... Don't be so stubborn." "Answer my
question first!" I shouted at him. "...Why are you torturing me like this?! Aren't you satisfied with what you did
to me?! Here you go again, making me feel like we're there even though we really aren't!" He took a deep
breath and I felt like a fool waiting for him to say something. But all he did was stare at me. "Answer me Keifer,
do you really have feelings for me?" Tears fell from one eye. It was annoying! I felt like I was pleading with
him.... I bit my lower lip as he looked down. I was about to cry like a child at any moment . "I heard you... You
and Yuri." My voice was shaking. "...what you were talking about..." I took a deep breath. "...I want to think that
what Yuri said was true, that you were lying. That you really have feelings for me. But I want to hear from you."
It hurt me what he did to make me believe, use me and act like a fool. But nothing would hurt more than him
turning his back on me. "I'll take you." He told me coldly.He walked out and I was left just looking at him. I sat
down with my hand over my mouth. My tears fell one after another and I kept sobbing. This is so painful for
me... I can't bear to be here with him for so long. I also didn't want to send him away. Even though my vision
was blurry from tears, I looked for my cellphone. On the floor near where I had fallen earlier, I found it. My
hand was shaking as I opened it and looked for Percy's number. But I couldn't find anything so I just pressed
some name. It rang a few times before answering. ["Oh?"] Someone answered me. Instead of speaking, I just
cried out loud. No words came out of my mouth. ["Where are you? I'll come get you."] He said calmly. In hell
with the King of Dimunyu. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down.
"S-on the highway... Y-you're in 'S-superb Gotohan'." I said while
gasping for air.
["I'm on my way."] He answered and hung up the call.
I felt like a child hugging my knee. I didn't know how to
calm myself down. It was so painful, it even overcame the pain in
my body.
I stayed there for a few minutes before I thought about getting up and
walking out. Jason's companions' motorbikes caught
my eye.
I looked at Keifer's car. The interior light was on and
he was leaning on the steering wheel. I didn't know if he was sleeping or what.
Just say Impact! Move on is my answer to you, you animal!
I will find a way to make my feelings for you go away! If
I have to arm wrestle with Hulk, swallow ten
kryptonite and shout Darna, stare at Cyclops to
melt the Statue of Liberty, I will do it! Just make this dam I feel for you disappear,
you Kumag!
A loud horn woke me up from my deep thoughts.
I looked at the approaching car of...Aries?!
Owshit!!
I looked back at Keifer. He had no emotion as he opened
the car door and looked at me.
I immediately approached Aries' car and got in. I let
Aries' gaze melt me. I looked at Hari for a moment before we
finally left.
"What happened?" He asked calmly.
I bit my lower lip. I knew I would cry again if
I started talking. I just shook my head in response to him and
looked out the window.
"I told you to stay away from Keifer. You're really stubborn." He was lecturing.
I really wish I had listened to you.
"That won't do anything sensible... He'll make you feel even more sorry for
his family." He continued.
I suddenly remembered Kuya Angelo. He was also
a preacher. I couldn't believe I had spoken to him like that.
We arrived at the house as if I had a deluge on my back.
When I entered the house, Aunt Gema greeted me.
"Jay! Where did you go?! I was worried." She hugged me first before
looking at you all over. "...Why do you look like that?!"
"I-I just had a fight." I said and forced a smile.
"What?! Come on..." She looked at Aries. "...Did you report this to the
police?"
Aries shook his head. "Keifer is with him."
Aunt Gema called one of their maids. She asked for something
that I didn't understand. Then she faced me again.
"Let's go to your room... So we can treat your wounds." She said
while holding me in her arms.
I leaned down and drifted towards her. It felt like I had lost
my life again. I was starting to feel like this again.
I felt like I was slowly dying.
