The Tale of the Guardian

"And you're only telling me that now?!" I slam the teleportation clock on the sink of the comfort room.

Nasa apartment na ako at sa panglabing limang tawag kay mama, ay saka niya palang na connect ang mindlink.

"You okay there, Ellie?" Napapikit ako ng mariin nung kumatok si Asha Bellue sa pintuan.

"Yeah" and strange enough, she started calling me Ellie.

"You made a friend?" The voice in my head said excitedly.

"Does that even matter now?" I frustratingly said. And snapping at her for a split second.

"Okay! Okay! I'm sorry! I should have told you that there are some glitches on the portal nung pa travel ka pa lang! I'm sorry I sent you 10 years ahead! Hindi ko naman kasi alam na ganun pala kalala ang glitch sa innerr port" Nasabunot ko nalang ang buhok ko sa sobrang frustration.

"Teleportation clocks doesn't even work here!" pasigaw kong bulong, takot na baka marinig ni Asha Bellue sa labas.

"That's understandable, the teleportation clock works only on real time. And you're 10 years ahead" I sigh.

"And you seems okay with me being trap here?" There were also some glitches whenever she sends me messages. I guess I really did get ahead of time.

"I'm really sorry, Ellie. But there's a glitching portal that will be opening in your school 4 months from now. If you could wait---" 'dun ko na hindi napigilan ang pag taas ng boses.

"Shit! You're telling me to wait for 4 whole freaking months just to go back?!" Now I'm panicking.

"We don't have a choice! Look, I'm really sorry for sending you there! But we don't have better choices right now." I threw my hands up. So annoyed with this situation.

"Just 4 months. I'm telling you, Mellie. Just 4 months and if I'm still not out of here, I'll burn this whole world down, kahit kapalit pa 'nun ang lahat ng mana ko" and I cut the mind link.

I'm forming my hand into a fist and was ready to slam the stupid mirror when I stop mid-way.

Freak! This body is still me! I thought my mother would just transport my consciousness into a body from another world, just like we always used to do. But just look at here, this is me! She transported me...ME!

A short brown hair, hazel eyes, pale skin and a whole snobbish look.

Napahawak nalang ako sa noo ko sa sobrang inis. And then at that moment, another knock was heard.

"You okay there, Ellie?" napapikit nalang ako, pinipigilang sigawan 'din siya.

"Yeah" I dryly said.

"That's okay, that happens." My brow shot up.

"I argue with my mom too" I sigh.

I just wanna pass out.

"You can't, Ellie" napataas ang kilay ko at napabaling kay Asha Bellue. Matapos kong lumabas ng cr, nagyaya 'din si Asa Bellue na kumain.

"What?" She wasn't looking at me, but looking somewhere in front of her. Magkaharap kaming kumakain kaya lumilingon pa ako sa likood kung anong tinutukoy niya.

When I finally realized what she's eyeing to, I then saw the kid and his friends. I sigh and memories from yesterday repeated like a flashback.

"That kid!" I shouted and obviously shocked.

That kid from the  hologram looks a lot more different from the kid I'm looking at right now. But  I could instantly know na siya ang bata sa hologram dahil sa mga mata niya. That kid is the reason why I'm here.
