The 10th Princess

54

I open my eyes and saw the ceiling.

'Man I feel like I'd been sleeping forever'

"Teka! Nanalo ba ko!" Sigaw na sabi ni
Top ng biglang may bumatok sa kanya ng ubod ng lakas.

"aray!" inis na usal ni Top bago lumingon ng makita nya ang babaeng namumula ang mga pisngi at parang naluluhang nakatingin sa kanya.

"Marielle...." usal nya.

"Marielle ka dyan! call me Master Marielle!" Sabi ni Marielle bago iflip ang buhok nya at cross ang mga kamay nya sa dibdib nya.

'what's her deal?'

"yeah yeah....uh.....I'm starving" Sabi ni Top habang nakatingin sa pushcart na dala ni Marielle.

"That's to be expected....after all your been sleeping for days" Marielle said in unnoticeable sad tone.

"huh! days!" Sigaw ni Top habang nanglalaki ang mga mata.

Kinuha ni Marielle ang isang tinapay bago isulpak sa bibig ni Top.

"Shut up you noisy head! hmp" Sigaw din ni Marielle sa tenga nya bago ito maglaho sa kwarto nya.

Kinuha ni Top ang tinapay sa bibig nya bago kainin ito.

'Kung ganon araw na din pala akong walang malay........'

Tatayo na sana si Top mula sa kama ng biglang bumukas ang pintuan at iniluwa nito si Aris na nakatitiig sa kanya na parang papatay ito.

"A....ris?"

'Ang laki ng lalim sa mga mata nya at pumayat sya ng kaunti.......gaano ba ako katagal....na tulog?'

Ningitian sya ni Aris bago ito maglakad palapit sa kanya.

"So she heal you.....hmm" Aris said in a soft tone. Top scratch his head before nodding. "Wait....who?"

"Samantha..."

"She's Alive!" Sumilay ang isang ngiti sa labi nya bago tumango. " That's so her right?"

"Hmm..."

"I want to kill him"

Aris said in voice full of distain and hatred. Top agreed with his statement.

"Yeah lets finish his wrong doings..." Top said then look at Aris who's also looking at him.

"I'm glad your okay" Aris said.

'His not smiling.....anymore. Then '

"Thankyou." I smile to him.

Aris blinked before nodding to him.

'I'am the reason why you lost someone.....I can't do anything to ease your pain all I did is sleep and run away to my problems again.....but I hope my smile....take some of your pains away....for I'am your only friend and brother in soul....Aris'

Samantha is walking on the boulders of Diamond Kingdom to race called vampires. When she stumbled with a beautiful girl with pure white hair and a pair of soft ocean blue eyes.

'Her.....aura is'

The girl gives a blinding light aura and a ominous light magic and sense from her.

"Ugghhh.....alam mo ba kung saan ang highway dito?"

Napapikit ng ilang beses si Samantha dahil sa narinig nya. "highway?" Usal nya.
