The Curse

Chapter 14

We were on our way to the Village of Holaria because based on the people here, hindi nila pinupuntahan ang abandonadong lugar na iyon dahil nandoon daw ang malas.

They're really treating the unique blood as a curse or bad luck. Hindi ko maintindihan dahil tinawag pa nilang bad blood.

I think they're insecure because they don't have that kind of blood or they're really close-minded and selfish persons. If the people in our kingdom will act like that in front me? I think I can kill him or her.

"Wala naman silang kapangyarihan hindi ba?" Belle asked worriedly. Nakakapit sya kay Aidan na tuwang tuwa. Umiling si Yesenia.

"Their powers was eaten by their blood."

"Ganon kalakas ang dugo na yon?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Zandria na tinanguan naman ni Yesenia.

"Nakakatakot nga—."

"They're harmless. Hindi sila nakakatakot." I cutted her that made them silent. Wala ng nagsalita simula non. Inabot pa ata kami ng ilang oras sa paglalakad at paghahanap ng maaaring tirahan ng babae.

"Dumaan na tayo dito ah?" Marius asked and scanned the whole place. Napagaya tuloy sila.

"Mama," Naiiyak na sabi ni Cloud at kumapit pa kay Eira na inirapan lang sya.

"Umayos nga kayo. Parang hindi Demi-gods ah?" Thanara said with a smirk. Napaayos naman silang lahat ng tayo at matapang pa na pumunta si Cloud sa harapan.

"Itabi nyo, ilalabas ko kayo dito." He arrogantly said and even raised his fist.

"Anong ilalabas? Tanga! Hinahanap nga natin yung bad blood." Marius said and hit him on the head. Napakamot naman sa ulo si Cloud at ngumuso.

"Naiihi na ako sa takot. Umuwi na tay—."

"Umuwi ka mag-isa!" They said in unison that made his jaws dropped. Naglakad na kami paalis don at dahil nakatulala pa sya ay naiwan sya.

"Can you use your powers Haze?" Blade said while we're walking. Walang imik na sumunod si Haze kaya nagkakaron na kami ng sinusundan ngayon.

"Hoy mga gago!" We heard Cloud shouted but we didn't turn our back. Nakita kong nag pipigil sila ng tawa na nagpailing sakin.

"Love naman!" Reklamo nito kay Eira ng makahabol sa amin. Eira just rolled her eyes at him that made him silent.

Ilang minuto pa kaming naglakad at sinusundan ang lupang gumagalaw papunta sa kinaroroonan ng bad blood. We're just walking silently when I stopped because I felt something strange. Ganoon din si Ashvin. We looked at each other and both stopped them from walking.

"Wait!" we both shouted but it's too late. Bumuka ang lupa at nahulog sila sa ilalim noon. It's looks like a trap.

"Shit." I heard Atlas' cursed. Umeeko ang boses nila mula dito sa taas.

"May nasaktan ba?" I asked while trying to find them. Masyado kasing madilim sa ilalim.

"Meron!" Marius shouted. Napasilip din si Ashvin dahil sa narinig.

"Si Cloud! Nauna yung mukha nya sa pagbagsak!" Rinig ang tawa ni Marius sa buong lugar. I heard Ashvin chuckled too that made my lips pursed.

"Tangina nyo talaga." Cloud cursed that made Marius' laugh louder.

"Can you help us?" I heard Zandria asked.

"They can but we don't need a help for fuck's sake." I heard Eira replied. Wala pang isang minuto ay nakita ko ng lumilipad si Freya paakyat dito, akay-akay nya si Noah. Sumunod naman si Aidan at Belle na ginamit ang mga halaman. Napahawak ako kay Ashvin at agad nya din akong inalalayan dahil gumalaw ang lupang kinatatayuan namin. We saw them safe and normal, ginamit pala nila Haze ang kapangyarihan nila.
