ALISTAIR ACADEMY (The Long Lost Princess)

CHAPTER 47

"Amethyst, loosen up, okay? No need to revenge,"

"Daddy, binato nila ako ng stone oh!"

"Be patient, once you grow bigger, no one can harm you,"

-----
"Daddy, raine got mad at me for being the top 1. Is it my fault that I am wiser than her?"

"Don't backstab other people, amethyst. Everyone was capable of the things that others don't."

"Should I forgive her, daddy?"

"Yes, sweetheart. Do not hold grudge in your heart. Once you get older, your patient and kindness will help you control your own beast."

"I have a beast daddy?"

"Hahahaha you'll know soon sweety."

---

"Daddy, an ugly guy was courting me. Iw!"

"Listen, no one is ugly. We are all made equally, okay?"

"But his skin was dark!"

"Being dark doesn't make a person ugly, being bad does."

"So... I'm ugly if I am bad?

"Yes"

"How can you say so, dad?"

"If you reached your legal age, you'll learn that being pretty on the inside was way better than having a perfect skin. You'll realize that even the simpliest thing can be big. So, refrain yourself from hurting other peoples feelings, okay?"

"I will, of course. I promise."

"You can be so much more sweety. Once you get older, you'll get bolder and wiser."

-----

"AMETHYST!" I was awakened by a loud shout coming from somewhere.

Where was I?

What's with that dream?

That was my childhood memories with my dad!

Am I dying?

I look around and noticed that people from the academy are in front of us. Royalties, faculties and my dad who looked so worried of me were in front. I smiled at him to give assurance.

And when I was about to look back, I suddenly bump into something. A WAND?! Witch ba sila? Bakit wand?

Marami rin silang kasama. Amira was beside me and my ex manliligaw is in front together with that Lark guy and the pale woman. I was by someone under the cloak kaya hindi ko makilala.

Nagpupumiglas ako pero hindi ako masyadong makagalaw sa higpit ng kapit nila. Damn!

Lumapit sa akin ang taong-- demonyo rather, na Lark na tinatawag nila. Sumunod dito ang babaeng maganda. Nang makalapit ay unti-unti kong naramdaman ang pagkabuhay sa dugo ko.

Kumirot ng bigla ang braso ko kung saan nakatago ang insigña ko.

"Arrgh!" Sigaw ko sa sakit. Kahit anong pagtitimpi ang gawin ko ay hindi ko makaya sa sobrang sakit.

Anong meron?

Anong nangyayare?

Ang insigñia ko ay animong sumasayaw. Dahil madalim na, kitang kita ang buhay na buhay na kulay nito. Para itong nagliliwag sa dilim.

Doon ko napansin ang pakonti-konting kislap ng lilang mata ng babae.

Who are you?

"L-lumay--o, argh! L-layo!" Sigaw ko sa kanya. Alam kong sya ang dahilan. Sya ang dahilan nito!
