CHAPTER 48


I woke up standing in the middle of the battle ground holding the sword in my hands. Punong-puno ng dugo ang kamay ko at ang Espada. Many races were laying down on the ground lifeless. My hands were shaking, nabitawan ko ang Espada sa kamay ko, sobrang daming dugo.

My mouth hangs open, napapalibutan ako ng mga sundalo ng Hari at Reyna, they were aiming their swords on me.

Anong nangyayari? I confusedly look at the crowd, I have no idea what happened.

Suddenly Helenora ran towards me in the middle of the crowd and hugged me.

“Old hag,” I said, still unable to process what happened. Tulala akong nakatayo habang naka yakap lang sa akin si Helenora.

“Umalis ka ngayon diyan babae at lumayo sa kanya,” the soldier said, but Helenora still hugged me.

“I-i didn't mean it, I don't know what happened.” I tried to explain, but Helenora cut me off,

“Shhhh” and caressing my head.

“I need to explain, but I don't know what happened,” I said to her and broke down. My knees were trembling. Napaluhod ako sa lupa habang si Helenora ay naka yakap pa rin sa akin.

The witches started to create the barriers and lock us up inside.

“Kailangan na nating umalis din dito,” Helenora said, casting a spell and creating a portal.

“Huwag niyong papatakasin!” The soldier shouts and fires their weapon at us. Bago makapasok sa lagusan ay natamaan ako ng pana na may lason, mabilis akong hinila ni Helenora papasok sa loob bago sumara ang lagusan.

Mabilis na pag hinga ang ginawa ko dahil sa hapdi ng sugat dahil sa pana, “Huminga ka ng malalim” Helenora order me, pero hindi pa ako nakakahinga ay bigla niyang binunot ang pana sa dibdib ko, shit, this old hag is insane.

I shouted when she pulled the arrow on my chest. Seriously? Halos mawalan ako ng hininga sa ginawa niya.

“Hindi ka tatablan ng lason,” she said, and she got the basin with hot water on it. She suddenly poured the hot water on the wound, and I yelled,

“What the fuck! That's too hot!” I shout while she's still doing some stuff on the side, ngumuya naman siya ng dahon at biglang nilagay sa sugat ko,

“what the fuck old hag, you're still gross!” I can even feel her saliva. Fuck that.

“Bilisan mo na at 'wag kana umarte pa,” she said and handed me the bandage.

Pumunta naman siya sa loob ng kubo habang tinatali ko nang maigi ang tela sa katawan ko. When she returns, she hands me a sweet potato and a cup of tea, but before I drink, she holds my hands and closes her eyes.

She casts some spells and spits on my tea. My eyes widen as I look at my tea with spit on it.

“What the fuck are you doing? You're so gross!” I yelled, Itatapon ko na sana nang bigla niya akong hinampas sa ulo.

“Inumin mo!” she shouts,

“What?! Are you out of your mind? Why would I drink this tea if you spit on it? Tell me!” halos maputol na ang ugat ko sa leeg kakasigaw sa kanya

“Inumin mo kung ayaw mong magising na naman ang kakambal mo sa loob ng 'yong katawan,” she seriously said, bigla akong natahimik, so he controlled my body, and I killed innocent races without consciousness.

“Mapipigilan niyan kahit papaano ang pag control niya sa katawan mo, inumin mo na kaagad hanggat nandiyan pa ang itim na usok,” she said. I look at the tea going back to Helenora's face, I'm going to throw up, but I set aside the grossness that I feel and drink the tea, tila babaliktad and sikmura ko habang iniisiisip na may dura niya ang ininom ko.

She handed me a crystal ball. I clearly saw what was happening in the BloodyVille. I suddenly felt sad without any reason. I held my chest when I felt a heartbeat on it.

“Kung anong nararamdaman ni Alice ngayon ay mararamdaman mo din, simula nang minarkahan mo siya." Helenora explained to me, I look at the crystal ball, Alice is in the infirmary, holding the hand of that rogue while crying.

“Why do I need to feel this pain?” I ask her, it feels like banging on my chest, and it hurts me.

“You're already connected to Alice, lahat nang mararamdaman niya ay mararamdaman mo na rin, you can switch that off and you will feel nothing but eagerness to kill,” she said while looking into my eyes.

“Wala ka na ring pinagkaiba sa kakambal mo if you switch off those feelings,” she said and stood up.

Days, weeks, pass by, and at mas lalo akong nag sanay, I enhance all my abilities, I sometimes sneak out to meet Kiera on her dimension, I learn how to use a gun and more improvised weapons from the hunters, and I sneak out to go to the forest inside the BloodyVille to see Alice.

It hurts me most when I feel the happiness of Alice because of that rogue, he still has the wound that I gave him, and I want to add more wounds to his body every time I see him with Alice.

Weeks, months have passed, bumalik ulit ako sa Battle Arena, where the territory of the rogues is, without knowing Helenora.

I let my anger out inside the ring, I limited my ability to use, para hindi nila ako ma kilala, I used the battle arena like a training room, I created my name inside, nang hindi alam ni Helenora

The night has come. I sneaked out of Helenora to meet Kiera in the woods outside the wall where I grew up.

I waited on the top of the branch of the tree. I waited for Kiera to go outside. She promised to meet me here.

But the sun came, even though the shadow of Kiera is nowhere to be found.

Every day, I crept outside the wall to wait for Kiera, but she never met me. Walang Kiera ang nagpapakita. I'm confused. Wala akong matandaan na may ginawa akong mali sa kanya, so when I got home, I asked Helenora for the crystal ball.

I was dumbfounded when I saw Kiera in the dungeon, she was caught, and it was Alice who caught her.

My mouth hangs open while I look at the crystal ball. Gaano ba ako ka tagal nawala? Isang araw katumbas sa kanila ay isang linggo, but it's not that long that I'm gone, and this happened.

I immediately go inside the hut and look at Helenora.

“Switch it off!” I shout, and Helenora looks at me confusedly.

“I said switch it off!” I yelled once again when I felt the happiness on my chest—the happiness that I didn't want to feel—and my hands were trembling like I wanted to kill.

“This will not be undone,” she said.

“Now!” I shout,

Gulat, at madaming tanong ang bumabagabag sa kanyang isipan, but she didn't ask any questions. She gets her black book and turn the pages of the book like she was searching.

But there's nothing written on every page, she gets the dagger in my pocket.

Nilapag niya ang libro sa mesa, and she cut my pulse. Halos mapangiwi ako sa sakit at hapdi, and she twisted my hand to get more blood. At ipinatak niya sa bawat pahina ng libro habang nagbabanggit ng mga salita gamit ang latin.

And the black smoke came out of the book and entered my body.

Bigla akong nakaramdam ng antok, I tried not to fall asleep, but Helenora suddenly closed my eyes with her hands.
