Starlight Academy: The Ophiuchus

SA41:Loneliness

RANA

I looked around. I remember this place..this was the first place where all of us saw each other. Dito din namin napag-usapang mamuhay at magpatayo ng bahay namin. Unfortunately, it was all memories now.

"What is happening detra?" I asked entering her cottage. I could see floating Gemini signs around the whole house.

"You didn't aged at all, bummer." She sighed that made me shook my head. "I didn't because I am linked to him."

"No, It's because You're ranaina. The greatest—"

"Can you stop that? Matandang hukluban kana ngayon kaya sabihin mo kong anong nangyayari. Why are you at the Starlight Academy?" I know i sounded harsh but, sanay na kami sa isa't isa. We lived together for centuries.

"I came to find you. Nalaman kong kilala na ng hari kong sino sa buhay na toh ang dating mga kagaya natin. And he is using them to lure you out, same thing like before, you'll be framed and everyone will work their best to vanish you out of the world."

Napaka-desperado na niya talaga. I Can't believe Voltaire trusted someone like him. Out of all people he could entrust the future of his clan, sa sakim na lalaking iyon pa.

"Have you tried reaching for gharnia? She could help us."

"I haven't seen her since..then." She sighed. I could see her young self pouting at me right now, pero matanda na siya ngayon. Time has an effect on her now.

"It's ok, we will work things out." Tumayo ako ng maalala ang kaganapan sa academy. I need to go and help them right away.

"By the way, here's a heart." Inabot nito sa akin ang nakagarapong puso. It looks disgusting but who cares? Tumingin ako sa kaniya at hindi mapigilang mapangiti. She really knows me well. I hugged her in happiness.

Hindi nako nagtanong pa kong saan niya ito napulot. She has that hobby in collecting body parts as a part of her experiments. Gemini things.

"I'll come visit you next time, they need my help." Tumango ito sa akin kaya't lumabas ako ng cottage nito kaso bago tuluyang makaalis ay may sinabi ito na kinatigil ko.

"He'll be so proud of you Rana."

Aries.

TIMOTHY

Hinawakan ko ng mahigpit ang sandata ko at aatakihin na sana ang pangit na lalaking ito ng maaninag ko ang mga mata nito. It suddenly turned white.

"Face it." He smirked.

In a blink of an eye the darkness consumed me. Nanginig ang buong katawan ko sa kadilimang bumabalot sa akin. I saw Vine slowly dissapearing from my sight, and everyone around me. It's just me and the darkness.

"TIMOTHY! YOU ARE A PART OF A WELL KNOWN FAMILY! YOU CAN'T SLACK OFF!" A familliar voice Rana on my ears. And the next thing..

I saw myself struggling to wield a weapon. I saw how my sister's left the house in order to be free. I saw how everyone left me behind, my Mother died, my sisters left me, my dad abandoned me in that old mansion. I was left all alone.

I'm alone.

"So?" This time It's Rana on our first day.

"Nakakatakot kaya mag-isa."

I have fears too. I have sadness in me. I have wrath. I have Love.

But in the end of the day..what if everyone leaves me again? Leaving this coward weak boy that It's father abandoned.

Loneliness is my biggest fear.

Help me.

I slowly closed my eyes and began embracing the loneliness i am feeling. I hope everyone was safe. Zyrus, help my miloves. Bring the Starlight world back at peace again.

"TIM!TIM!"

Vine?

"GUMISING KA! TIM! I need you."

I smiled bitterly.

"TIM!"

RANA

It's been two days since the incident happened at the Academy. Simula noong bumalik ako hindi ko na rin nakita si zyrus dahil kailangan nilang ayusin ang mga kaguluhan sa labas ng Academy. And here i am, waiting for tim to wake up.

I looked at Vine and saw her holding tim's hand. Tulog din ito dahil sa magdamag na pagbabantay niya kay Tim. Ni ayaw ngang kumain kaya't nag-aalala na ko sa kaniya. Baka siya ang pumalit kay Tim diyan. Umalis din si Enly kaya't nakatunganga lang ako ngayon dito.

Since bumalik ako bukang bibig na lahat ng studyante dito si claw girl. Siya daw nagpatumba sa dalawang kalaban na andito. And everyone wanted to know who she really is. Pati sa mga diyaryo siya na ang nakalagay, asking wether is she an opponent or an ally.

Tumayo ako at lumabas muna ng dorm namin. I looked out the window in the hall and saw a white haired girl with a man. Agad na napunta sa isipan ko ang ate ko. What is she doing here? From her body built talagang si ate yan.

The man she was with faced her kung kaya't nakita ko ang mukha nito at natigilan ng makita ang new Prof namin. Mr. Yuilko?

Suddenly flashbacks from before flashed in my eyes that made me tear up.

Carmilla..and Lord Demetrius.

Baba na sana ako para kausapin ang mga ito ng may humarang sa king lalaki. I looked up and saw zy. Blangko itong nakatingin sa akin. Agad na nawala sa isip ko sina ate ng makitang galos galos ang mukha nito.

He fought with the explosion girl.

I touched his face and traced my fingers on his wounds. Paso ang natamo nito sa kabilang pisngi at may maliit na hiwa sa bibig nito. Para siyang nagpunta sa giyera. He is also wearing his elite uniform and it made him look like a knight.

"Why did you leave?" He asked that made me look in his eyes. So he knows that i left him?

"I found a women who gave me a heart for Vin, kaya inaasikaso na ngayon ni Aron ang pagbabalik ni Vin." It's true though, kung hindi dahil kay detra hindi ko alam kong saan pa ko maghahanap ng puso. I Can't just kill anyone.

"Why Rana?"

Napakunot ako sa tanong nito, sinabi ko na nga yung rason ko bat nagtatanong pa tung tangang toh. I sighed then cupped his face.

"Are you mad because i didn't brought you with me?"

Umirap ito sa akin na ngayon ko lang nakita pagkatapos ng ilang araw. Napangiti ako dito at hinayaan siyang yakapin ako. He is acting like a Baby.

"Whatever your reason is..I'll accept it." He whispered.

I hope so zyrus. Sana nga matanggap mo ako sa oras na ibunyag ko na lahat ng pagkatao ko.

"RANA!"

Pareho kaming napalingon sa hallway ng may lalaking sumisigaw ng pangalan ko. I was surprised to see leon and What's more shocking is seeing Enly lying in his arms.
