Chapter 31: Screzine Town

AVA's POINT OF VIEW

"Seriously, when will we have a rest?! We've been walking nonstop like 3 hours!" I nagged and sighed. I'm really really exhausted now. Imagine, 3 hours of walk?! My feet can't bare with that! Himala na nga lang ngayon at hindi pa ako natutumba. Sobrang sakit na nga lang ng mga paa ko.

We don't have excessive baggages in our hands because all of those were in our silver storage bracelet. My bracelet was placed in my right wrist, looking so cool. It's a small thing but it can carry things unlimited.

And my favorite food was in my bracelet, kaya wala pa akong reklamo noong isang oras pa kaming naglalakad. But now, it's been freaking three hours! And we haven't had a good rest yet! They're so persistent to finish that mission immediately. Eh, paano kung mahimatay na ako ngayon dito? Sino ang tutulong sa kanilang maganda? 'Di ba? They're really not thinking of the consequences of this tiring goddamn walking.

"Will you please stop nagging? You're getting into my nerves! Right, Frenny Jenny?" Reklamo na naman ni Andeng.

Kanina pa siya, eh! Actually, silang dalawa ng pinakamamahal na Frenny niya. The two of them keeps on contradicting me! Why couldn't they just agree of what I wanted? We are the same, girls, so hindi pa ba sila napapagod?

Oh, I forgot. Sanay na pala sila sa mga missions na walang transportations at mga paa lang ang gamit. Grabe!

Headmaster Kashmir said that this is a part of our training. It can help us so that our stamina in magic can't easily ran out. At para na rin hindi kami madaling mapagod sa pakikipaglaban. It's reasonable naman pero nakakapagod lang talaga.

Huminto si Harrison na siyang nangunguna at tumingala kaya ginawa rin namin ang kaniyang ginawa. He's the leader, eh. Above us was a gigantic tree that was allowing the sun to hide from us.

"Let's rest here for a while," he said causing my eyes to glistened in happiness.

Finally! "Thank you, Darling!" Saad ko ngunit inirapan lamang niya ako. Kahit ganoon ay ngumiti pa rin ako sa kaniya at tumabi nang umupo siya at humilig sa puno.

My cheeks immediately reddened when I remembered what I did on the ball. We just made out and I even moaned! I didn't regret it though. It's my best achievement in the chasing game I first played with him.

We ate the food we brought and drank some water in the lake behind the huge tree. Nakaidlip pa nga ako saglit ngunit agad ring nagising nang gumalaw ang katabi ko. Napatingala ako sa kaniya.

"Let's go. Hindi dapat tayo nagsasayang ng oras." Wika nito at nauna ng maglakad. Napabuntong-hininga ako bago bumangon at sumunod sa kaniya. My other teammates were already at his back and talking nonsense all over again. And as usual, minsan lang ako nakikisali o kapag tinatanong lang sumasagot.

"Maureen," Zoe called causing me to have my attention at her, but my senses were still alerted, knowing that we're almost at the border of Screzine Town. "Are you okay? You seem bothered earlier."

I just shooked my head and continued walking without my gaze at her. I heard her heaved a deep sigh before she continued her talking of nonsense with Sofia, while Andrea keeps on bothering Jenelyn who's attention is in the front.

I suddenly remember what happen earlier. I sighed as to my eyes feels the scorching heat. Napasigaw ako at napahawak sa'king mga mata. As if someone was burning through my soul and was torturing my mind using my eyes! Until I feel myself sitting on the ground due to the pain I almost cannot bare.
