Taming the Emperor's cursed

02: The Secret Door

It's been three days after the gossip of those helpers about the so called prophecy. day by day they keeps giving me a creepy vibes everytime they we're around me.

Two days before my birthday and everytime that I would think of their talk gives me a chills that I dont know where it come. maybe because I was raised in the city and not here on the province.

I keep convincing myself that maybe they were talking about the legal age and not the other creepy things.

I was here in the garden alone it was a field of a red rose which gives me the relaxing ambiance here.

I was busy doing my me time when i suddenly look at the black butterfly who caught my attention. I frowned when I realised that it's been the only butterfly who flies to the other direction while the other butterfly's are together.

Lumipad ito palayo sa kumpol ng ibang paru-paro kaya naman sinundan ko ito na lumipad palayo.

It wasn't long when it suddenly stop on one of the rose through my curiosity i walk towards it. I was about to touch it when suddenly the rose burn by a fire that makes me startled.

Napaupo ako sa damuhan dahil sa biglaang pag apoy ng isang rose kung saan naka dapo ang Black butterfly pero ang mas ikinataka ko ay kung bakit hindi man lang nasusunog ang rose at ang butterfly kahit na umaapoy ito.

Nagulat ako nang may humawak sa balikat ko kaya naman napasigaw ako. I looked at the person behind me only to see Willa who looks confuse because of my action.

"Anong nangyari sayo?" she asked confuse, I looked back at the rose but to my surprise its back to its normal there's no fire nor burning butterfly around it.

"Alliana, I said what happend?" Willa worriedly asked me while I was trembling i  pointed the rose and she follow where i was pointing at.

"The rose its covered with fire together with the black butterfly but it wasn't burning at all." I cried while telling her what I saw.

Willa worriedly hugs me i even heard her whisper something.

"The sign show up already, it's really you. our lady." she said in a low voice.

She helps me to get up and helps me walk back to the mansion thankfully my grandparents aren't here or else they would be worried for me.

Manang Syria saw us on my trembling knees she hurriedly walk towards us and help Willa to balance me. I can't help but to cry it scared me to hell how on earth it would be happen?

"Willa! anong nangyari at nanginginig ang senyorita?" Manang Syria asked they help me sat on the sofa and Willa hurried go to the kitchen to give me some water.

I tell them the whole thing starting the time I go to our backyard to taken up a fresh air to the black butterfly and the rose. i cried the whole afternoon because of it.

Manang and Willa keeps calming me from what I've saw. napansin ko din na nagkatitigigan sila na para bang alam ang rason  kung bakit di man lang nasunog ang rose at ang butterfly kanina. tumango silang dalawa na para bang sa aming tatlo ay silang dalawa lang ang nagkakaintindihan.

Patuloy lang naman nila akong kinakalma hanggang sa tumigil na ako sa pag iyak.

After a couple of hours I finally stop crying and ask them that I will take a rest. I walked go straight to the staircase when Willa held my hands.
