Journey Of The Odds | ONHOLD

Chapter 7

Peyton Moore

Nakaupo na ako sa round table habang iniisip ang nangyari kanina. Everything felt surreal. And dreamy. Like everything is positioned to where it's supposed to be where it is.

Naputol ang pag-iisip ko ng may mga imaheng nagflash sa isipan ko.

Guys in cloaks. Swords. Blood. Explosions. Corpses.

Bigla akong napatayo at tinignan ang nakasarang pinto. And as if on cue, biglang may sumabog. And nagsisigaw na ang mga tao.

I rushed to open the door and another explosion came na napalipad sa akin.

"Peyton!" I heard Ziggine shouted and I just found myself lying. Sinubukan kong tumayo. My elegant gown was ripped and torn hanggang sa tuhod ko.

"They're here! We need to fight." Yun lang ang nasabi ko at tumakbo ulit. I just heard Zig cursed and followed me.

With my levitation skills, I managed to attack the enemies. Madami sila. At and ibang odds ay lumalaban na din.

Madaming mga duguan at marami na ang mga walang buhay na nagkalat sa hall.

Hindi ko masikmura. I glared at the guy in cloak and attacked him. I thought or wringing his neck. Nagulat na lang ako ng bigla siyang sumigaw habang hawak-hawak ang leeg niya na parang may sumasakal sa kanya.

I was dumbfounded. Muli kong tinignan ang lalake at nakita kong wala na itong buhay. Did I just kill him with my thoughts? What the heck?

Magulong-magulo na ang lahat ng may biglang sumabog. Everything was frozen. And everyone, except for me, and Professor Henryk. Alam kong alam niyang nakatitig ako sa kanya. He snapped his finger at nagulat na lang ako ng lahat ng umatake ay nawala na parang abo. He looked at me and snapped again.

Napasapo ako nang marinig ko naman ang nakakabinging flat line na parang humihiwa sa kalamnan ko.

"PLEASE! STOP THAT! M-MASAKIT! Z-ZIGGINE!" nagsisisigaw na ako sa sakit. Feeling ko dumudugo na ang tenga ko.

"Peyton! Shit! Are you okay? Peyton! Damn it!" I heard Ziggine's panicked voice and after that, I passed out.

Aria Arguil

When Peyton passed out, everyone panicked. Ziggine immediately held her and carried her.

"What happened, Professor?" Tanong ni Zion.

"She was able to nullify my abilities. Come, see me at my office. Tell Ziggine to come after." Saad ni Professor bago umalis. Kami naman, nagtataka.

**

"She wasn't affected when I stopped the time." Mariing saad ni Professor.

"Who is she really, Professor? Ang dami niyang skills, she's different." Sabi ni Rogue.

"She has telepathy, precognition, even levitation skills, and kanina, she was able to kill the intruder without doing anything." Dugtong ni Threa.

"You know you're different too, right Ziggine?" Seryosong tanong ni Professor ka Ziggine na siyang ikinataka namin. "Spill out your discoveries." Dugtong niya.

Ziggine sighed before talking. And what he said confused us more.
