Andora Academy 2: The Fire Guardian's Behalf

Chapter 8

I couldn't sleep. My mind keeps on wandering, my thoughts won't let me rest. I stayed up all night doing nothing aside from thinking of a plan. Kapag nakapasok na ako sa Vaxon, what's next? I know I shouldn't rush para hindi halata kung ano talaga ang pakay ko. And for sure dealing with mortals is not an easy chore since they are way different in so many aspects.

Dahan dahan akong bumangon. It's still 3 a.m at maya maya lang babalik na kami sa Encantaria. Although I hadn't sleep, wala parin akong bakas ng antok. I have already made up some plans and I admitt, some of them are risky.

Bumuntong hininga ako at tumayo para lumapit sa nakabukas na bintana. Malamig ang simoy ng hangin pero dahil sanay akong palaging nasa malamig, hindi ko iyon alintana kahit manipis na kamisita lang ang suot ko. I snapped my fingers at bumalik ang natural na kulay ng buhok at mata ko. My snow white skin complimented my blonde hair a lot, unlike my black hair. That color made me look like a conniving villain.

My eyes are directed on the forest. For the past days with Vladimir around, palagi akong naco-concious. I can't act freely and I feel like It is my duty to impress him in any aspect. Damn it. Kung magtuloy tuloy 'to, baka hindi ko kayanin at masabi ko sa kanya ang mga nararamdaman ko.

Stupid thought right there Artemis.

Dang, I should remind myself next time to refrain from talking about weird feelings or else it'll hinder my rational thoughts.

Pumikit ako ng mariin at naghanda. I took a cold bath and dress myself up. Kaunti lang ang dinala ko dahil para saan pa eh babalik rin naman ako dito. If there's one thing I love in the mortal realm, it's probably their chips. Seasoned perfectly. Sa susunod baka bibili ako ng mas marami at dadalhin ko ang ilan sa Encantaria.

After doing my routines, bumaba na ako. Natagpuan ko si Vlad sa may counter, naglalaro ng sariling apoy. I guess he's about to cook breakfast but I'm not in the mood to eat tho. White apple would do but there's none here. Sa Andora nalang ako mag aalmusal.

I tied my hair up. Nagkasalubong kami ng tingin. He knotted his forehead a bit at sinuri ang kabuuhan ko.

"Wear shoes."
He commanded.

"I threw them away."
Sabi ko. It's true though.

Tumaas ang kilay nya at malamig ulit ang tingin. Ofcourse, what's new?
"Then slippers."

Bumuntong hininga ako. Hindi ba nya gets ang point? Why would I throw my shoes away?
"I hate foot covers."
And that answered my question.

"We'll fucking climb a damn mountain, Artemis. Sharp stones are in there, use your fucking mind."

"We can teleport—"

"We can't."

"Why—"

"We're near the boundaries between mortal and immortal's world. Using abilities and power are prohibited, goddamn it."
Nagsimula na namang umapoy ang buhok nya. I shut my mouth or I will be taosted to death.

Sinamaan ko sya ng tingin. I look so defeated in so many ways, and I fucking hate it. How can he overpowered me that easily?

"Magtitiis ako sa mabatong daanan."
Pagmamatigas ko. I hate foot covers so much. It's irritating and it's just not my style at all.

Mas nag alab ang apoy sa buhok nya pero tumalikod na ako para maka akyat sa taas. Wala akong panahon makipag away sa kanya ngayon dahil sa dami ng iniisip ko. I'll propose my plans to Mom, get the papers needed for enrollment and then the next action will follow.

Kailangan ko ring makibalita sa nangyayari sa Encantaria dahil may kutob akong mas lumala ang nangyayari doon. It's almost winter season in there, it means mas lalakas ang kapangyarihan ko. Elites were probably given a mission again dahil abala ang mga alumnus sa ibang bagay. As much as I want to help them, I can't. Kailangan kong mag focus sa mga gagawin ko dito. At isa pa, Apollo's there. Plus the guardians.
