CHAPTER 1
Kendra's POV
" You can call me Lady Giera at lahat ng tanong niyo masasagot mamaya. For now, sumakay kayo sa barko"she said.
Inilibot ko naman ang aking mata sa lugar nato. This is Pier Salvacion, isang isla na malayo sa sentro ng aming bayan. Dito nila kami tinipon. It may sound crazy but yes we came here without hesitation. One message and were in it. At mukhang hindi na kami makaka alis dito.
" Wait. Tumakas lang ako kasi akala ko may importante kaming malalaman dito!! I have a family. I can't leave them like that" hysterical na wika ng isang babae.
" It's okay. The academy already send them a letter. Hindi nila kayo hahanapin, they gave permission para magaral kayo sa Westwood." wika ni Lady Giera. "This is beyond important." seryosong tuloy niya.
Walang nakaimik sa amin. So this is planned I think. Napagtanto rin siguro ng mga kasamahan ko ang rason kung bakit kami nandito.
"Now move before it will get dark" wika niya ulit at naunang pumunta sa barko. It was a huge color brown ship with a abbreviation of WW in the side.
Sumunod narin kami sa kanya, maintaining our line. I was amazed to see what's inside. It looks so good with the combination of Dark brown and Light brown furnitures. The woman in her 50's tells us na pumasok na kami sa kwarto namin. By pair bawat cabin at kasama ko sa kwarto ang babaeng nanghila sa akin kanina.
The room has two bed. Umupo nalang ako sa kama na nasa kanang bahagi nito. I don't have anything, I came here na walang dala.
" Kendra saan ka galing?" tanong ng aming kasambahay.
"Jogging" simpleng sagot ko.
" Ganun ba? Halika dito at magaalmusal na!"
" Mamaya na manang, I'm not hungry." dumiretso na ako sa aking kwarto. I grab my towel and take a quick bath. Pagkalabas ko ng banyo ay nakita kong umiilaw ang cellphone kong nasa kama. Someone message me . I get my phone and read the message.

From: Westwood Academy
Kendra Davidson. Pier Salvacion. 3 pm sharp.
Westwood Academy? It sounds familiar.
"You're spacing out again" wika ni Lexa.
" Huh? Uhm- Just remembered something" sagot ko. Hindi ko namalayan na nasa harap ko na siya.
"Okay. So you're from La peña ? " tanong niya.
" Yes."
" You are rich then, nasa sentro ka ng bayan " wika nito.
We are from the west dimension of earth, ang Es Negera. A place that differs from others. La Peña ang pinakasentro ng lugar namin. Only royalties family and the government can live here. Wala ng iba. This is the center of industry here. The first district is the Salvador. Northeast of La Peña. The place for the the rich family, businessmans and those far from average life. The second district is the Southeast , ang lugar ng Miranda. The place of average families. The third district is called Silania, the place for the poor and beggars. Lastly, the 4th district, ang Mezakina pero mas kilala bilang black district forest. Home of illegals.
" Kind of" sambit ko.
" Typical rich girls ey, silent , cold!" pabirong wika nito. " I'm from Miranda anyway, so what's your gift?"
" Gift? It's nothing special." wika ko. "Matutulog na ako"
" Okay " alinlangan nitong sagot.

" Gising na ! Huy!" napamulat ako at biglang napabangon. I gave her a cold questioning stare.
" Don't stare at me like that" depensa nito. "Lady Giera wants to see us, nasa deck siya".
I look at my wrist and I am glad I have my watch. It's 6 in the morning.
" Sumunod kanalang. That's your clothes." nakangiting wika nito at tinuro ang nakahanger na damit na nasa cabinet. "See ya"
I immediately run to the bathroom to clean myself. After a half minute natapos rin ako. Dali dali akong nagtungo sa deck.
" Finally , your complete " saad ni Lady Giera. "Ms. Davidson go to your place."
I saw Lexa waved her hands kaya pumunta ako sa tabi niya. " Tagal mo"
" Before opening the portal, I need you to wear these" sabay taas ng kwintas.
Binigyan kami ng mga kawal ng tag iisang kwintas. A silver in color at may disenyong buwan sa gitna. "That is your temporary access card para makapasok."
I saw her eyes turns silver at biglang may portal na nabuo sa patutunguhan ng barko. " Brace yourself students" huling narining ko bago pumasok ang barko sa portal.
Nakakahilo. Iyan ang unang pumasok sa utak. Narinig ko din ang ibang kasama ko na sumisigaw. Para kaming nahuhulog sa isang bangin na walang hanggan. Ipinikit ko nalang ang mga mata ko.
After 5 minutes naramdaman kong bigla kaming tumigil. I slowly opened my eyes at nakita ko kung nasan kami. Desert. Malawak na disyerto.
" O my god!" namamanghang wika ni Lexa. "Is this real?"
" No. This is a part of an illusion to protect our dimension. May susundo sa atin" sagot agad ni Lady Giera.
In a snap of seconds may nakita na kaming mga sasakyan. Lady Giera tells us na sumakay na so we did. We have the usual numberings, 1-20 for the the first van. It is a long and huge van kaya kasya kami. Diretso lang ang aming daan.Mahaba rin pala ang mala disyertong tanawin.After 10 minutes tumingin ako sa unahan dahil nawala na ang disyerto na dinaanan namin. Isang tunnel ang pinasukan namin. Sa tingin ko hindi ito masyadong mahaba dahil matapos ang ilang minuto tumigil na ang van sa labas ng tunnel. Mula dito kitang kita ko ang malaking sign sa harap, ang WESTWOOD ACADEMY.
" Nandito na tayo, new students , Welcome to WESTWOOD ACADEMY, the ACADEMY of the WEST. The LIGHTS of the moon. "
BINABASA MO ANG
WESTWOOD ACADEMY
Fantasy"To trust is taking the responsibility to be shattered, like a glass that slips in the hand. Never be fixed nor be whole again." One day I find myself entering this school. It is not in the middle of the forest. No tall trees or gate to cover t...
