Seraphina's POV

"O my god!" I gasped, rushing towards the Queen, but Sofia grabbed my arm, holding me back. Nanlalaking mata at nagtataka akong lumingon kay Sofia.

"What the fuck, Sofia! Let go of me. The Queen needs help." Hindi niya ako pinansin at nakatutok lang ang mata niya sa mga paparating na yabag. There I saw the students emerging from the entrance of the garden.

"It's her!" Sofia shouted, pointing directly at me. "Seraphina attacked the Queen!"

Naramdaman ko ang pagkawala ng dugo sa aking mukha while staring at the students, wide-eyed.

"No! I didn't!" I protested, my voice trembling with shock. "Hindi ko 'yon ma-"

"Sinungaling ka!" Fiona's voice joined in as she stepped out from behind a tree. The victorious smirk on her face didn't go unnoticed by me. "Nakita naming ginamit mo ang mahika mo para saktan si Queen Farah."

"That's not true!" I shouted, my mind was racing. "I wasn't even near her!"

"Huwag kang magsinungaling, Sera!" Sofia sneered. "We saw you with our own two eyes."

Nagsimulang kumalat ang panic sa sistema ko. I looked at Queen Farah, who was now being tended to by other students. Her eyes were filled with pain. The ice blade that is pierced on her arms was unmistakably my power, pero hindi ako ang gumawa nun. Hindi ko magagawa 'yon.

"Sera, fuck! What did you do?!" Para akong nanlamig dahil sa boses na narinig ko. His tone was cold and harsh. I turned to see Aiden approaching, his face was a mask of fury and betrayal. I shook my head while breathing hard.

"A-Aiden, hindi... Maniwala ka, h-hindi ako ang may gawa niyan." I pleaded. I held back the tears from streaming down my face. "I would never h-hurt anyone, especially n-not your mother!"

"Then how can you fucking explain this!" Itinuro niya ang ice blade na may bakas pa ng dugo. Mabilis akong umiling.

"It wasn't me." My voice trembled. "M-maniwala ka, h-hindi ako ang may gawa niyan."

"You liar!" Fiona shouted. "Huwag ka nang magsinungaling, Sera. We saw you!"

"You are the one who's lying, Fiona!" I shouted also. "I d-"

"Enough!" Aiden's voice was like a whip cutting through the air. The anger in his eyes just stabbed my heart like a knife. "I've heard enough of your lies."

"Aiden, please." I begged, my heart was shattering. "You know me. Alam m-mong hindi ko magagawa ito."
Napatitig siya sa 'kin ng matagal.

"I thought I knew you, Sera," he said, his voice was low. "But I was wrong."
His eyes were filled with icy disdain.

Naramdaman ko ang sunod-sunod na pag-agos ng aking luha. Umiling ako.
"Hindi mo naiintindihan... H-hindi ko magagawa 'yon," I said, my voice breaking.

Nakita ko ang sunod-sunod na pagdating ng mga hari at reyna, ganoon din ang mga council at ang mga kaibigan namin. They were all looking at me with anger and disdain.

"Sera? A-anong nangyari?" Wendy asked me but didn't even bother to come closer.

"I d-didn't do it, Wendy... please believe me." Mabilis na dumapo ang kanyang mga mata sa ice blade sa lupa. Nakita ko ang pag-atras niya.

I couldn't stop myself from sobbing.
"M-maniwala kayo sa 'kin, p-please."
Nagmamakaawa ang aking mga mata habang nakatitig kay Arianna.
Tears welled in her eyes, akma siyang lalapit sa 'kin nang pigilan siya ni Sebastian.

"Leave!" Fiona demanded, her voice was dripping with venom.
Umiling ako. I looked at Aiden, begging him with my eyes, but he avoided my gaze while clenching his jaw. Para akong nadudurog sa mga ipinapakita nilang galit sa 'kin.
