Danger Zone

The whole car ride back to the condo is quiet. No one has spoken anything for the past few hours. Daime is at the very back of the car while the others are up front, thinking to whether they should address what just happened or just shrugs it off.

Aiden looks at Daime's location but the latter is not looking back at him. Daime is facing the window as the rain starts to fall down. 

They arrive at the condominium, lining up in pairs while Daime is walking from the last row. He stops as he steps his left foot on the last steps of the stairs.

"When did you come back?"

Aiden and the others stop and stare at Daime as if he is crazy. From the corner of the elevator, a smile appears. 

The owner of the smile walks out from her hiding place and tilts her head towards Daime.

"I didn't know Santoros have a kid like you. It makes me wonder why they had to adopt Primo when they have you."

Aiden's eyes widen in surprise as he runs up to her and hugs her tightly.

"Jasmine! You're back!"

Aiden said with glee. Daime looks away from her and walks up to the door of the apartment. He opens it and immediately goes straight to his room.

"Awakening, huh?"

Aiden looks at his sister with a confused look. Jasmine only pats him and carries her bag inside. Drax notices at how intimidating Jasmine looks. 

If only he hasn't known Jasmine for years, he will be scared of her just by looking at her. Cassie bows at her Headmaster and helps her with her bags. 

The watchdog has been wanting to ask about her journey to another country to train but that will be answer later. 

For now, they all want to know what just happened and how Silica did managed to piss Daime off, resulting to her painful death.

"I know that you know something Drax. Care to share it with us?"

Drax looks over to Jasmine who is sitting by the couch while Aiden cuddles with his sister. He has been missing Jasmine for weeks now but he doesn't know where she is. 

He wants to search for her but he knows that his sister doesn't want him to go to that extent when she is already fine.

"Share you what?"

Drax did not snarl but he is not giving anyone a chance to ask again. It's not that he can't tell them but there is something about Daime that only Daime should tell them.

"I promised not to tell."

Jasmine looks at Drax as he sighs before sitting down near the kitchen counter. It has been years since Daime shows this side of him. The last time he sees this, his big brother died after being in coma for three months.

It isn't Daime's fault that he died but the latter had been telling them that it is. It is a saddening fact for a young child like Daime. 

Daime doesn't even know what had happened. He just knew that his brother died because of him. The process is too vague that Grandmama forbids everyone to tell Daime what really happened.

"I don't know if Daime already knew the whole thing that had happened but I can't tell you, guys."

Jasmine sighs as she proceeds to stand up and goes to where Drax is. Drax lowers his head as he sighs for the umpteenth time before looking towards Daime's bedroom door.

"I get why you don't want to tell me but at least give Aiden some insights about who the hell Daime is."

Drax sighs as he shakes his head and goes to Daime's door. He knocks three times but he is only greeted with a tired young man.

"Sleepy? Can we talk to you?"

Daime frowns and peeks behind Drax before sighing and opens his door. He steps beside the door and speaks.

"Come in, I need to talk to you alone."

Daime emphasizes the word "alone", making sure that he knows what he is saying. Drax looks at the younger and nods his head. 

Drax enters the room while Aiden peeks over to see Daime. He has been worried to him ever since they were at the abandoned building. 

He pulls Primo away to talk to him personally, making sure that Primo is still into him and he is not being delusional at all. 

"It's not my intention to take it to this extent. I just thought to ride along to see how you will be jealous. I didn't know about her plans. I am sorry."

That's what Primo told Aiden when they are at the very back of the abandoned building. After that, they talk about their future plans and when to make it official. 

"Maybe we should tell Daime that you are okay with this type for relationship before making a decision."

Aiden nods his head and is about to say something else when he hears Silica's painful screams. He looks at Primo and runs back inside. He gasps when he sees Daime beating Silica to death as she begs for her life.

Aiden suddenly feels tingles the way Daime's muscle retracts and as the rod hits Silica's bone to pieces. It isn't a magnificent sight but for Aiden, seeing another side of Daime is a marvelous sight.

He suddenly feels closer to him as moments passed. Now that they are back to the condo, Aiden wants to talk to him but Daime is not in the mood to talk to.

Primo pats his shoulder and shakes his head. Aiden puts his head on Primo's chest and sighs tiredly. 

"He is fine. Don't worry about him too much."

Aiden nods as his head is against Primo's chest. Primo combs his unruly hair as he hums an unknown song to make Aiden calm his worries down.

He stares at Daime's room as he sighs. 

Truthfully, Primo knows what Drax is talking about. He is there when Daime went berserk when he was still a kid, ending up hurting his brother. 

But it is also true that it is not Daime's fault that his brother died. He is innocent victim of bullying by his own cousins. 

After his brother died, the bullying died as well. Since most of them are now still scared of Daime and his brother's death is still stuck on their minds.

His death becomes a precautionary measure for their bully cousins. Primo sighs and hopes that Daime is okay.
