Amaranthine Academy

Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Gemstone

I spent my time attending classes for the whole two weeks, but Erika's words continued to linger in my mind. Does she really believe in that mate thing? Though, it's still believable since my parents were mated when they were young. Base sa aking kaalaman, ang mga nakatakda ay hindi nakadepende sa lahi. Fate only has the ability to choose the right one for each of us.

Ilan lang naman ang nakilala ko sa buong academy na ito. Nakita? Sabi kasi ni Erika nakita ko na ito pero baka isa sa kaklase ko? Pinsan? Sino naman kaya ang pinsan ng Timothy na iyon?

I sighed and closed my eyes.

Ang lahi ni Timothy base sa sinabi niya noong nakaraang linggo ay bampira at mermaid. Hindi puwedeng bampira kasi bampira rin ako.

The reason?

I don't like vampires.

Sino nga ba ang mga kilala kong mermaid?

Baka si Syren ito?!

I held my forehead. What the fuck, Amara? Paano naging si Syren ang nakatakda sa akin, e, babae siya?

Hmm, pero 'di ba may kakayahan ang bawat isa ng sirena na gumaya ng anyo? What if she's really a man?

I groaned.

Bahala na ito. I don't want to overthink unimportant things.

Napatingin ako bigla sa makukulay na mga bulaklak na kay gandang tignan. The flowers glowed like the sun, shimmering with each passing second.

I'm here in the garden where I always feel safe. I fell in love with this place. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of jasmine and roses, creating a serene atmosphere that enveloped her senses. Tall, majestic trees provided a comforting shade, their leaves rustling gently in the breeze. I'm the only one here since I don't sense any immortal presence. This place has made me feel safe since I arrived at the academy. I come here when I have nothing to do in the condo, passing the time. In the past days I've been hanging out here, I noticed that no one else comes here. I think it's because the immortals go to the mall to splurge.

Well, I also want to spend my money, but I love being here. Siguro rito ako makakapatay ng kapwa ko immortal dahil wala naman ditong ibang tao maliban sa akin. And the billion will finally be in my arms.

I chuckled. I'm just kidding.

I looked up at the building in front of me and a smile immediately appeared on my lips. A smile you don't want to see when you're looking at me.

Wala akong nabalitaan tungkol sa nangyari noong nakaraang linggo sa gusaling ito. It seems like they'll forever hide what's inside that building. Or maybe it's just because of my necklace that they don't want everyone to know about it. Siguro iniisip nila kapag malaman ito ng mga elites ay gustuhin nilang nakawin ito. As if they care about my necklace.

I stood up and started walking towards that building. Habang naglalakad papunta ro'n ay binanggit ko ang mga salitang dapat kong banggitin.

"Evictus."

As before, my eyes turned purple. I also hid my presence and erased my scent. It was only now that I noticed what kind of building it was. The design of this building is an antique design. In the lobby, you can find what's inside each floor. But they didn't put the floor where my necklace is. On one floor, all the pictures of our departed ancestors are there. Each floor of this building is important to all of us. That's why when the emergency alarm went off, everyone panicked.

I noticed that there are fewer immortals here now compared to when I trespassed in this place. Noon maraming immortal ang lumalabas masok dito pero ngayon ay kaunti na lang. What happened these past days?
