CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE (THE CONNECTION )

She first turned towards Ashley, who remained on the ground and was not able to get up. Using Phoenix, she chopped Ashley's body into one hundred equal pieces. Blood almost covered her whole body and a pool of Ashley's blood started to form. Nathanya closed her eyes because of the fear she's seeing now. It's her first time seeing this type of Taylor.
After chopping Ashley's body, she started walking towards the location of Claude. But the men from the Black Pelicans unit shielded their leader and Lalaine. As Taylor walks forward, her katanas are slaying anyone who obstructs her way.
"You're crazy!" Lalaine shouted but she just smirked after hearing this. They all have forgotten that Nathanya was still tied up. Only Briana seems to be aware of that because she lifted her crossbow and hit the end of the rope then catched the falling Nathanya. She brought her to a safe area together with the body of Lace.
"Please watch over her. We'll take her out along with us and will give her a proper burial." Briana told Nathanya, not even sure if they'll make it out alive. After making sure that the two were somehow safe, she came out and helped Taylor. Meanwhile, Brawlers and Blake's had surrounded the area and had killed most of the men that were set as standbys.
The men from the Black Pelicans were getting fewer and fewer and their leader, Claude, started to feel fear. He was about to escape but Lalaine stopped him.
"You said you wanted revenge didn't you? Now stay here and fight with me!" She said and pulled him closer.
"He's fooling you Lalaine!" Drake shouted.
"Liam actually survived with the impact. He was saved by Claude but he used him. And he's using you too! Come on! Wake up!" He added.
"Don't waste your efforts convincing me with that crap. Liam died. And it's because of your friend. You even sacrificed our blood relationship just to stick with that friend of yours!" Lalaine answered him.
"Because of that blood relationship of ours that's why I am here convincing you. You know I promised your mom before that I will never ever let you be astray. So please. Listen to this brother of yours. Just this once. Please." Drake said.
"Don't listen to him. He's trying to brainwash you." Claude tried convincing her. Taylor was now getting nearer them. In a blink of an eye, she's standing in front of them.
"Taylor! Please. Spare Lalaine. Spare my sister." Drake begged, which made Lalaine finally sober up.
"Lalaine. Please come here. Come to me. Come to kuya." He once again said. He suddenly became so weak that Trix needed to support him. Lalaine's tears started rolling down. Drake finally accepted them as his siblings. Drake is the first son of their father from his first wife. When their father remarried, Drake was not happy about it. He even replaced his surname with the surname of his mother. He was supposed to be Drake Perez but he changed it into Drake Lorenzo. He never let them call him Kuya. And he acts like a total stranger in front of them when they're in public. She started walking towards him.
"Yes. Just like that. Come here." Drake said, trying his best to smile.

"Weak! Kill her!" Claude yelled and out of nowhere, an arrow came flying. Seeing what might happen next, Drake quickly pulled Lalaine and covered her using his body.

"Dr… Drake!" Lalaine muttered. The arrow stabbed deeply on Drake's back, and it hit his lungs and somewhat pierced his heart.
"Wh… what did you just call me? You… shall call me… Kuya." He asked, then smiled. Trix was frozen in place seeing his lover in a dying state.
"I'm sorry! I'm really really sorry. Please. Don't leave me. Please. Kuya." Lalaine begged as she cried. Drake just smiled and looked at Trix's direction. The latter was in tears now but he couldn't move.
"You… see him? Pull him near." Drake asked Lalaine and she obeyed, pulling Trix near Drake.
"I… why?!" Trix finally asked but Drake just smiled.
"I am happy being with you. I… it was such a… a nice time being with you. It's just… sad that I'll be leaving you like this. If… if there's another life, let's meet again. Shall we?" Drake said and caressed Trix's face.
"No. Please. Don't leave. Don't leave me. Please. Stay with me. With us. Please. I was just about to ask you to marry me. Please. Don't go." Trix begged while crying. Drake started to feel the coldness covering him. He smiled before finally closing his eyes.
"I love you." He whispered before totally letting go.
"Drake! No! Please wake up! Don't leave me alone! Drake!" Trix's yelling sounded all over the warehouse. Taylor's anger had reached its climax. She lost two people just because of this nonsense "revenge".
"Do you have any last words?!" She asked Claude before slashing his leg using Raven. Claude stumbled as he fell down, losing his balance.
"Let me tell you, I am not planning to give you a peaceful death." She said again and slashed Claude's shoulders. On their back, Briana and Trix continued killing all the remaining men from Black Pelicans until no one, except their leader was left. Then, Briana and Trix walked towards where Claude and Taylor were. Briana loaded her crossbow and Trix reloaded his gun too.
"I was just about to confess to her. But she's gone now. I waited for a long time to ask for her love. But she just died because of you!" Briana said and released the arrow on her crossbow. It hit the right leg of Claude.
"I was just about to propose to him. But you killed him!" Trix said and fired, all of his bullets hitting the left leg of Claude. The latter was now screaming in pain.
"I lost a brother and a sister because of you." Taylor coldly said before cutting Claude's left shoulder using Phoenix. Blood oozed out of the chopped shoulder and Claude was going crazy because of the pain.
"Just kill me! But I am telling you! My father will take revenge for me! HAHAH" Claude said.
"I am Clark Auden Smith. The one and only son of Demethry Smith, the owner of Black Smith Academy." He said before letting out an insane laugh.
