Storm Academy: Tale of Falsities

Chapter Forty-Seven

Chapter 47: Beam Of Light

Third Person POV

Natigilan si Calla ng tinulak siya ni Simone. After she came in contact with the ground, she learned how Simone ran away from her. She grunted and stood up, finding Simone's family.

Her mind was in haywire, hindi siya makapaniwala na namatay na ang nag-alaga sa kanya ng namatay ang mga magulang niya. And she can't take up the fact that Simone didn't have an ounce left of selflessness in her body.

She was a great friend. Calla sought to forget about giving her mother information because she knew that Simone wouldn't be happy with it. She really wanted a friendship with her, who wouldn't?

Nakita niya si Harry, kasama Mr. Smith. She ran as fast as she could to get to them and make them change Simone's wishes. Pagod siyang tumigil sa tapat ng dalawa at pansamantalang hinabol ang hininga.

"Simone's..." she can't continue because she's still out of breath. Nagkatingin naman ang dalawang lalaki at bakas ang takot sa mga mukha nila. Calla won't run this far if it isn't urgent.

Mr. Smith touched Calla's both shoulders, his patience slipping. "What's wrong with Simone, Calla?" Harry stood there, trying to understand what's happening. And just like a click in her head, he finally understood.

Si Calla naman ay pinakita na lamang kay Mr. Smith ang usapan nila gamit ang isip niya. She linked both their minds together and let Mr. Smith see a part of her memory, the one where Simone and her last met.

They all stared in disbelief, hindi makapaniwala kung ano ang gagawin ni Simone ngayon.

The whole forest was still in war, ang mga bampira ay patuloy na inuubos ang dugo ng mga tao. They can't control their blood lust anymore. All they can see is the overflowing blood in this forest. But the peculiars are also not backing out.

They're armed with wooden stakes and their abilities are also helping them take down vampires too. Their longing grief for their loved ones, their anger for what the world gave them, it all was in the way in their clear minds.

Carlene and every healer was ready to help all peculiars, aiding them to their need. But it doesn't mean that there won't be peculiar casualties. What's dead is dead. Everyone who got drained out of blood, or was already dead will never be alive again.

Alam ng lahat ang pinasok nila. The council all asked everyone whether they wanted to fight or stay in the academy, where everyone is safe. An academy that keeps everyone away from the darkness of the night.

"What do you mean white light, Harry?" Mr. Smith was so concerned about Simone. What if it's her last day in this world? She's going to sacrifice herself, for the safety of this world.

But she always did that, didn't she? Her life was filled with the deceit and falsities that she just believed that everything is because of her. She believed that her only reason for her existence is to save the world.

Her heart was so insecure that she thinks she doesn't deserve to live. She puts herself last whenever something bad happens. Ayaw niyang masaktan ang ibang tao kahit na lunod na lunod na siya sa sakit.

She believed that no one was there for her. Even her closest family, her only friend who betrayed her, there was no one to talk to her about her deepest insecurities and monsters.

They were there for her, they tried to ask her about it, but was it enough? She was still filled with guilt no matter how many emotional discussions she gave. She will always believe that her existence is to save the world.
