The Serpent QUEEN

The 33rd Chapter

Ella’s POV:

Nandito ulit ako. There’s something in this place that botheres me. Simula nubg nagkasakit ako, ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob para pumunta dito.

And I regret coming here.

My foot is glued on the ground at napapikit ako. Hanggang ngayon, the sound of the water falling gives me an uneasy feeling.

But whenever I close my eyes, I’m just replaying my nightmares. hindi malinaw pero alam kong ako yun. Ang batang babae na umiiyak ako yun, ang sinasaktan ako yun. At yung nilulublob sa tubig ako yun. Ako lahat yun.

I...I don’t know how...I don’t know why….wala akong magagawa. Parang totoo silang lahat.But, they can’t be real...it’s just so impossible.

But then again, why can I feel the pain, the agony, and the feeling of longing?

It feels like there’s a part of me missing. Bakit parang ang sakit sa pakiramdam ko, I always hated waterfalls and I don’t know why. And I just realized, I don’t hate it, I’m afraid of it.

Ang bawat pag-agos ng tubig, it scares me. I hugged myself, opening my eyes a little to let my tears go out. Hindi ko na maintindihan ang sarili ko, but I need answers.

patuloy lang ako sa pag-iyak. Hinaplos ko ang aking dibdib.

Why do I feel this pain?

Suddenly I felt warm hands on each sides of my shoulder, like stopping me.

“Don’t take another step” bulong nito sa tenga ko. The warmth is familiar. “Turn around slowly, don’t open your eyes” He commanded.

But, I opened my eyes which I regreted. Napasinghap ako pagbukas ng nga mata ko. I’m on the water, nasa leeg ko na abg tubig and in just one step mahuhulog ako sa mas malalim na parte nito.

I immediately pannicked and I started to cry again. “no!!! Help..help!!”

“hey...shhh!!...stop moving, I’m here!…” I heard him say. Pero parang wala akong narinig at patuloy sa paghanap ng may makakapitan.

Suddenly, I was trapped in a hug. My breathing hitched, hands still shaking underwater. Kinuha niya ang mga kamay ko at pinulupot sa batok niya.

“hold tight” he said and lifted my legs. All I know, I was being carried away from the water.

He placed me on the ground, I hugged my self because of my wet dress.

“a-are you okay?” tanong niya.

I just nod ang burried my face on my hands. Jeez, what have I done. I’m losing my mind, I can’t take this anymore.

“am I going crazy?” my mouth just blurted out.

“What are you doing there? Are you planing to kill yourself?” nagtataka niyang tanong. “are you hurt?” he asked softly and he held my arm, helping me get up. His warms hands are familiar and it gives me a feeling, I felt it the day we bumped into each other.

I took a step back from him. Sinuri ko ang mukha niya, his eyes are concerened. “P-professor Adams…” sambit ko. I don’t know why but my eyes begun to water again

Thanatos Slytherine’s POV:

Damn it I’m late again. And my stupid best friend is the one to blame. He keeps on bugging me again to teach him how to use a gun.

I pinched the bridge of ny nose and closed my eyes. Isip bata talaga minsan si Nicandro, hindi ko alam kung paano siya nagustuhan ni Evie.

I'm here at the back of the academy, the forest. When I was walking closer to the waterfalls I heard something.
