Boy on Fire
Zion
"Ouch!" Malakas na sigaw ni Caleb, his hazel eyes showing an intense glare as Heather continued to heal his bruised arm using her fairy dust. "Do you hate me that much?"
"Yes," Agad na sagot sa kaniya ni Heather, her brown eyes sparkling with irritation as she said, "I hate you so much for calling me a bee!" Aniya kasabay ng malakas na sigaw ni Caleb nang madiin niyang hinawakan ang sugat nito sa braso.
"Poor guy," Selene said, shaking her head as she stared at Caleb who was almost dying from Heather's painful treatment. "What happened? When we left earlier he looks just fine but now," Aniya't napailing nang makita ang 'tila sumabak sa giyerang itsura ni Caleb. "He's a mess."
"His fault," Amara said, her blue eyes are throwing sharp glances at Caleb as if she's slowly killing and bombing fires at him. "He stole my first kiss!"
"It's not my fault!" Caleb said, defending his self as he stared at Amara who was almost killing him with her deathly glares. "It was Ms. Taal's orders! It's not like I want to kiss you!" Aniya't nagkunyaring nasusuka. "You're not my type!"
"Shut up, Wolfram!" Amara said, her blue eyes glowing with irritation and said, "I hate you!"
"Love you too!" Caleb said, completely teasing Amara as he raised his brows up and down at Amara's direction. Caleb's signature move.
"So," Belle said, making everyone fell silent as she finally said something after being silent the whole time, must have been terrified from everything that happened earlier as she said, "What's next?"
Natahimik ang lahat dahil sa sinabi niya, nothing can be heard in this empty stage but our heavy breaths as realization hit us.
What now? I whispered as I stared at my feet. What are we going to do next now that we're already complete?
"You need to make a decision," Selene said, making us looked at her way as her purple eyes brightened with the light coming from the Moon. She stared at us seriously as she said, "Will you stay or leave?"
"W-what do you mean?" Amara said, puzzled and completely confused at what Selene said.
"Will you stay here and continue your life as a normal person or go with me to Moon Haven to complete your mission as Protectors?" Selene answered, her purple eyes showing no emotion as she stared at us blankly as if she's slowly losing hope. "Will you stay or leave?"
Everyone fell silent at what she said, thinking about different thoughts and different possibilities that could occur the moment we made our decisions.
The world depends to us, I said as I tried to think of a decision. But, how about Mom?
"I'll go," Caleb said, making everyone looked at him as he raised his hand and put it in front. "If this is for the best, then I'll go."
"Me too," Amara said, putting her hand at the top of Caleb's as she looked at us with determined eyes. "For the peace and order of the world, I'll go."
"Count me in," Belle said as she put her hand at the top of Amara's. "If leaving means world peace then, I'll gladly go."
"How about you, Zion?" Selene said, her purple eyes staring directly at me as she said, "Will you go with us?"
Natahimik ako, can't seem to find the right words to say as I remembered Mom, my Mother who fathered me, the only person who did not leave me behind.
