The Chosen One [ON GOING]

/10/ Yang

EYDAN'S POV

Its been days since I met that girl. From the first time I laid my eyes on her just like she did to me, I just can't stop thinking about her. They are different but both held the familiarity.

I sighed heavilly as I shrugged the thoughts away. Tiningnan ko ang wrist ko kung saan nakaukit ang yin of yin-yang.

I am not just a prince but a companion of the one who holds the power that can end the war between the galads and the murklims. We are bound to marry each other and no one can break or bend it because it is stated in the prophecy.

I sighed for the second time and pull myself up from the bed and got my black hoodie from the cabinet.

I open the door only to find out that my cousin Dred is about to knock on my door. Mukhang nagulat ito pero nakabawi din agad and smiled at me.

"Kain na daw tayo Coz," he said enthusiastically.

"I won't eat," I answered.

Before he could utter a word, I teleported to the lake wherein I stumbled with the girl before. Or the other way around.

The moonlight illuminates the water from the lake that makes it shine and sparkles. This is breathtaking.

I look around to find a place where I can lay down a while whilst I rest peacefully. Magpapahangin lang naman ako saglit dito at babalik agad sa dorm. It is only quarter to 7. Yeah, its a bit early though.

Doon nalang din ako sa puno kung saan ako nagpanhinga noong isang araw but not at the same spot because right now I choose to face the lake. Merong bush dito kaya parang nakatago ako and I also concealed my aura, for precautionary from disturbances.

Few moments later, I felt an aura. The same aura with the girl. I took a glance and confirmed that its her. She didn't see me because I concealed my aura so that nobody would know that I am here. I saw her smiled. At the sight of it, it makes my heart thumped like crazy. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Inaamin kong naaatract ako sa kanya the first time I laid my eyes on her. Ngayong nakita ko siyang ngumiti, I don't know what to say. Her beauty left me speechless.

She closed her eyes for a sec then open it again at may kinuha sa likod niya. A flute.

Nagsimula na siyang magtugtog while her eyes are closed. Habang nagtutugtog siya, bigla na lamang humangin at tinatangay nito ang mga dahong nahulog mula sa mga puno. It swirled and danced with the tune. Later on, something magical happened. The leaves had turned into snow covering the whole place.

Merong snow ang mga tuktok ng puno. The tree at the middle in the lake looks more enchanting now the way it used to be. The whole scenery in front of me right now is out of this world. I have no words to say. Just wonderful.

"Enchanting right?" She suddenly asked. I looked at her only to find out na nakalapit na pala siya sa kinarorooan ko.

"I know you're here from the very beginning," she added.

Nalilitong napabaling ang tingin ko sa kanya. Brows knitted in confusion. All I know is that I concealed my aura but how likely did she know that I am here?

"How did you know?" I asked her. She just smile at me knowingly. She again turns her gaze to the lake and smiled once again.

"Staring is rude," she again stated.

Hindi ko nalang siya pinasin at itinuon ang pansin sa lawa.

XYVE'S POV

Hindi ko alam kung bakit komportable akong kausap ang lalaking ito. And I don't also know why I always felt safe kapag naryan siya. The heck! I just meet this guy noong nakaraang araw lang.

We just stayed there for a couple of a few minutes more doing nothing. Just staring at the lake.

"It's getting late," he said and stands up. Inilahad niya ang kamay sa'kin and I gladly took it for me to stand up. The moment that our hands met. I felt my tattoo on my right wrist burned a little. I don't know why.

Nang tingnan ko ito ay umiilaw ito. Ewan ko kung saan ko ito nakuha pero simula noong magkaisip na ako ay nakaukit na siya. Ang weird nga eh, this tattoo of mine resembles the yang from the yin-yang symbol. I find it weird just like my crest. I just shrugged ng mawala ito agad. Ng tingnan ko naman ang harap ko ay nakaderetso lang ang tingin niya sa tattoo ko.

Ano namang problema neto? Inggit ka gurl? Hindi ko nga din alam kung ano ang nangyayari sa sarili ko, except na komportable at safe na kasama siya ay pinapakita ko din siya kanya ang soft side ko. Arghhh, dapat cold ako eh. Bat di ko magampanan ang pagiging cold ko in front of him. Bahala na nga, mukha namang di madaldal ang isang ito kaya ayos lang.

Tinakpan ko na agad ang wrist ko at lalakad na sana paalis ng hinawakan niya ang braso ko. I looked at him quizically.

"What?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"Saan ka pupunta?" Tanong naman niya pabalik. At kailan pa naging sagot sa tanong ang isang tanong aber?

"Babalik sa dorm malamang," sagot ko sa kanya. Ikaw tong nagyaya ng bumalik na eh. Tsk.

"Hatid na kita."

"Huwag na. I can manage."

"Stubborn. Room number?"

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.

"At bakit naman?" Iniwaksi ko ang braso ko sa pagkakahawak niya at nakapamewang na tinanong siya niyan.

"Just tell me," he demanded. I tsked.

"Room 134," I answered and sighed. Defeated. Mukhang di papatalo eh.

He held my hand and naramdaman ko nalang na parang natransport ang kaluluwa ko through space. Tsk.

Pagbukas ko ng mata nasa harap na kami ng pinto ng kwarto ko. Mabuti na lang at walang tao sa hallway kundi chismis to. Scoop 101 at ako ang headline sa balita. Y'all wondering, dito sa academy ay hindi kami pinagbabawalan gumamit ng abilities namin pero ang mga ito ay limited. Teleportation is the only allowed ability to be used. Ewan ko kung bakit. Aba malay ko ba.

I looked at the guy in front of me.

"Thanks," pagpapasalamat ko dito.

"Hmm," he nodded afterwards.

"Goodnight," he added and the next thing he did make me stunned and makes my face flushed red.

Before I could protest, wala na siya sa harap ko.

Dapak! He kissed me! In my cheeks! Again!

Arghhhh! That kiss stealer!
