Chappy 2: Darkness falls

~In the Dining hall~

"Your lunch, my lady." Sabi ni Regulous sa aking ina. The guy who serves the food here. Well, yeah I know him. He's like my uncle and he's been a very close friend of mine. Kahit na hindi pabor si Mommy na makipagkaibigan ako sa kanila, ginagawa ko pa rin. I mean, they're not half bad really. Nginitian ko siya nung ako na yung lalapagan niya ng lunch.

Ng makalabas na ng Dining hall si Sir Regulous. Nagsimula na kaming kumain. Tahimik lang kaming kumakain, usually kasi si Dad and Mom ang nagkukwento habang kaming dalawa ng kapatid ko ay nakikinig lang sa hapagkainan.

"What did I told you about making friends with commoners? Hindi ba't sinabi ko sa iyo na mamili ka ng mga kakaibiganin, anak?" Napatigil ako sa pagkain at napatingin kay Mommy. Here she goes again.

"Pero Mom-"

"You're of Tigress Royalty. You should have pride." Ano daw? Pride? Eh nakakasakal na kaya yung pride pride na yan. Ang alam ko mga Leon lang ang may pride? Hindi ba masamang maging humble? "Remember, anak. You're the heiress of this Kingdom. Lagi mo iyang tatandaan." Pinigilan kong magsnigger sa kanyang sinabi. I know I know... why does she have to always emphasize that again and again?

"Yeah mom. I'll keep that in mind." I told her even though I didn't mean a single word of it. Nagpatuloy lang ako sa pagsubo ng pagkain.

"Mabuti kung ganoon."

If you're wondering kung bakit ako yung susunod na tagapagmana imbes na ang kapatid kong lalaki ang magmana. It's because that's how we, the Tiger Kingdom, do things. Ever since this kingdom was still a small tribe, it has always been a girl who leads the tigers. It's because Female Tigers are stronger than Male Tigers. It's been a fact that everyone agrees on. Even in the Mortal World, mas malakas din ang babaeng tigre kaysa sa lalaki.

Not only that. Ever since I awakened my beast powers and mastered it to its full extent, my mom has always been more strict on me. On the last stage of transformation, imbes na magtransform ako bilang isang normal na Tigre. I transformed into a White Tiger. Imbes na kulay orange yung fur, it was color white instead. Just like my hair.

And guess what. This never happened in our course of history in Elemental World. Siguro sa Mortal World nangyari na, pero dito hindi pa. And... I really hate it when people treated us like we're special. It's already enough for me that I'm one of Tigress Royalty.

"You know. Maybe it's about time that she unlocks her Elemental Powers." Nabulunan ako sa kinain ko dahil sa narinig ko kay Daddy. I quickly drank my water. Ano daw?

"But hon! She's too young to-"

"Honey... she's at the right age already." Hinawakan ni Dad yung kamay ni Mom. "I know na nag-aalala ka. But she mastered her beast powers faster than anyone could do in Elemental World. Malakas siya. I know she can do it." Malumanay na pagkakasabi niya kay Mommy. Go dad, kaya mo yan. Ikaw lang ang kayang magconvince kay Mommy. You're my only hope! ;-;

"But what if-"

"Honey..." Pagkukumbinsi ni Dad. "Magtiwala ka sa anak natin.." Tahimik lang kaming dalawa ng kapatid ko na nakikinig. Napakagat ng labi si Mom, mukhang nahihirapan siyang magdecide. Nahalata iyon ni Dad kaya hinigpitan niya ang pagkakahawak sa kamay ni Mommy. "Hon..."

Nagkatinginan kami ng kapatid ko. It feels so weird seeing this, but wala kaming magagawa. Sabay kaming umiling na parang natatawa at nagpatuloy lang sa pag-kain ng natitirang ulam sa plato namin. Oo sweet nga tignan yung nanay at tatay namin, pero nasusuka ako. I prefer books over touchy touchy stuff really.
