Zeph's POV

"The enemy knows our plan now. They are starting to move" salita ko habang mabibilis ang lakad namin tungo sa opisina conference room dahil tinawag na naman kami nang Headmistress.

"This is getting out of hand. May naisip man lang ba kayo sa kahihinatnan nang ginawa natin?" Naiinis na salita ni Penny, maybe because of nervous and anxiety. Well, all of us are. Dahil nagkakagulo na sa buong mundo, sinisimulan nang mga kalaban ang mundo nang mga tao.

"Where's alastair?" Narinig kong tanong ni Gin. Napapikit ako pero hindi na sumagot at pinagpatuloy ang paglalakad.

"Damn it! He should be here in this kind of situation!" Frustrated na salita ni Rea.

Agad kong binuksan ang pintuan nang conference room at nagsipasok kami. Lahat nang guro ay nandito at nasa gitna ang Headmistress.

"Sit down demigods" utos ni Lady Hestia. Nagsiupo naman kami at humugot ako nang hininga para pakalmahin ang sarili.

"As we all know, the mortal realm is now in chaos. And our dear Omegas are in critical condition so they can't go in mortal realms. I am sending now the Beta, Gamma and Delta in the mortal world to protect the mortals. And Epsilon and Digamma will protect the school while the Alphas and Omegas will work together to finish our enemy. First, let's know who's our main Enemy" salita ni Hestia at may lumitaw na pigura sa harapan namin. A hologram of a man and woman.

"Apate and Moros, a major deities are the ones who's planning a treason. They are the head of this chaos. Moros is the Supreme leader and Apate is supporting him by deceiving people to side with them" dagdag ni Hestia. Deceiving? So he's been deceived all this time? What i mean is monarch. Or he knows already? And he is just greedy too? But Celandine trust him, i can see it. And i hope Celandine knew about it.

Amidst of all of this, he's still an enemy and he is one of those who's planning a treason.

However the omegas, they were suddenly ambushed during their mission, the 3rd rank mercenaries. But they managed to get back here alive, although wounded badly. We were sorry for them because we weren't there to save them, they were just kids. But who am i kidding? We trained them to be strong, someday, everyones life will be put in their hands again.

"The best choice today is to plan How to defeat the two gods." Pinal na salita ni Lady Hestia. It would be a piece of cake of her right? They are the olympians after all, but because they are at the same time, selfish. They won't be the one to save us, instead we were the one who's working to make them stay on the throne and save their power. Eerie right?

We were the one risking our lives for them, for their power. But at the same time, it was our decision. For me, as long as this is over, as long as everything's alright, i will go back to our home. Our shelter. We might not have spent a lot of time together but it is our uniqueness, connection, and presence that makes us....home.

I really want everything back to normal, where we only thing about school. About how to solve a case, how to solve math, create essays, do some science experiments, take an exams and quizzes then participate in every school activities. Like what a real students do.

Not thinking about how to survive, how to save everyone, how to protect someone, worry about the future, fight to survive and become powerful and choices. Things that we shouldn't do in our age but things that we would like to do if the time comes that this would happen again.

"Everything's clear?" Tanong ni Lady Hestia. Nagsitayuan kami at saka tumango.

"Just stick to the plan, and we don't have to worry about" dagdag ni lady Hestia. Tumango ulit kami bago nagpaalam na aalis na.

"Hey"

Napatingin ako kay Jax nang hawakan nya ako sa braso matapos kaming makalabas nang conference room.

"Mauna na kami" paalam nila penny kaya tumango ako at tumingin kay Jax.

"Can i take your time? Just this morning? Wala naman tayong gagawin" tanong nya, sinalubong ko naman ang mga mata nya at saka ngumiti at tumango.

"Sure, bakit ba?" Sagot ko at sinabayan sya sa paglalakad.

"May sasabihin lang ako" sagot nya at deretso na ang tingin sa dinadaanan namin. Tahimik ko nalang syang sinundan hanggang sa makarating kami sa bagong gawang Mall.

Hindi na ako nagtanong pa kung bakit kami nandito at basta nalang na sumabay sa kanya papunta sa loob nang Mall. Dahil sa mga kaganapan ngayon, hindi na namin naisip na magpunta sa Mall na ito kahit noong Opening nila. Naging busy kami sa pakikipaglaban.

Namangha ako sa laki at ganda nang bagong Mall, gawa ito sa modern na desenyo at sinamahan pa nang kapangyarihan kaya naging magical ang buong lugar. Bawat store ay may mga lumilipad na Pixies.

Pumasok kami sa isa sa mga restaurant at naupo kami roon. Nag order sya nang pagkain at sumunod naman ako, saktong sakto rin dahil nagugutom na ako.

"Ano bang ginagawa natin rito?" Tanong ko habang hinihintay namin ang pagkain namin. Medyo kaunti lang ang tao rito pero mukhang masarap naman ang pagkain nila, sinabi ko na, wala nang panahon ang mga estudyante na magliwaliw dahil sa magaganap na digmaan.

"Taking a break. You've been too busy since this all started" sagot nya. Napabuntong hininga ako.

"You know we don't have time for this, right?" Sagot ko. Jax and i have been partners in crime, he is my assistant when it comes to leading the group. I don't usually rely on my father's authority that is why i let people outsmarted me.

"Yes. But we also don't have time to say what we want. That is why i took this opportunity to say something," sagot nya. Nakinig naman ako nang taimtim sa kanya. "We don't know what will happened after the war, we don't know what will be the outcome of our plan. We don't know who we lose, during this war." Dagdag nya. Nakaramdam ako nang simpatya sa sinasabi nya, tama naman sya, walang kasiguraduhan na mananalo kami.

"You've been busy getting stronger and hunting mercenaries that you forgot something" salita nya ulit na nakakuha nang buong atensyon ko. Ano nga bang nakalimutan namin? Meron nga ba? "About the Great 12. That the history is about to repeat itself, and you are taking your part in that history" dagdag nya na naging dahilan nang pagkirot nang puso ko.

Naging abala kami na naging dahilan para makalimutan namin ang isang bagay, na dadating ang araw na sabay sabay kaming magpapakamatay. Gaya nang ginawa nang mga magulang namin noon.

"Cela said that Gin and I are safe of the past because our parents weren't part of it. But how about you? And our friends?" Salita nya ulit nang hindi ako makaimik. Hinawakan nya ang kamay ko na nakapatong sa lamesa. "I know some of our friends realize what they forgot, that is why i am making you remember, that you are also in danger, that you are also taking your part" dagdag nya at taimtim akong tinitigan. "It's only you who can save yourself, Zeph. It's only you who can control yourself, so promise me, you'll save yourself too." Naging malumanay ang tingin nya sakin. That pleading eyes, that eyes that i will never forget. I live my life in Luxury and Power, authority and Leading others, i was born controlling everyone in my power But he will never know--

"Just say my name when you can't say your name, Zeph. I'll be listening" salita nya. S buong oras na sya lang ang nagsasalita at ang isip ko ay napuno nang mga alaala namin.

I smiled at him that make his face more softened "I promise" sagot ko.

-----that he is the one controlling me.
