Elodie: Goddess of All (Available on Dreame)

Nanigas ako sa narinig ko. Mabilis ang tibok ng puso ko. I have an idea kung sino ang kumuha, that must be him! Mabilis siya, damn it.

"What should we do?" Tarantang tanong ni Aira. She's crying and Lance is calming her down.

Clark is beside me and he's holding my hand. I am getting stressed.

"Do you have any idea who did this?" Bulong saakin ni Clark. I nodded lightly.

"I'm not that sure but I know he's capable of doing it," mahinang sagot ko rito.

Kuya is walking back and forth in front of us. Hindi ito makalma.

"Damn it. I can't think straight," sabi ni kuya at ginulo ang buhok niya.

"Sit down, kuya. We'll talk about this, ako nahihilo sa'yo!" Inis na sabi ko rito.

He looked at me at naupo nalang din ito. He's shaking, he is really worried about Aly. Sino ba namang hindi?

"Sino ang pwede gumawa nito?" Gavin asked, confused. He's tapping his fingers on the table.

"Ano rin ang kailangan ng gumawa nito?" Kuya asked. I feel guilty, dahil 'to saakin.

Should I give up? I can't afford to lose Aly or any of them. Sasabihin ko na ba sa kanila ang totoo? But I haven't spoken with my mother, yet.

I remained quiet dahil nanginginig ang kaloob looban ko. That should be me, I'm sorry, Aly.

"We need an immediate plan," sabi ni Clark. He's the leader after all.

"How? Wala tayong clue kung sino ang pwede gumawa nito," sabi ni Gavin.

I bit my lower lip at tumayo. They looked at me confusedly at tinignan naman ako ni Clark na may pag-aalala.

"Just a minute," I said at agad na tumakbo paitaas.

Agad akong pumasok sa kwarto ko at kinuha ang box. I went downstairs again at inilapag ang box sa table. Maybe this can help us.

"Ano 'yan, El?" Kuya asked furrowing his brows.

"It is something that might help us," I said at binuksan ang box. I grab the necklace and showed it to them.

I heard them gasped.

"It's from the Rombus! Bakit meron ka niyan?" Gavin asked me, eyeing me confusedly.

"I accidentally got this when I was still in the mortal world, the day before I went here. Pakiramdam ko ay sila ang kumuha kay Aly," paliwanag ko sa kanila.

"Maybe you're right, El. Baka sila nga," sabi ni kuya. He knows about the necklace, sa kanila ko naman unang sinabi.

"Kung sila nga, then this is going to be dangerous," sabi ni Clark.

He's looking at me with a questioning look. Umiwas na lang ako ng tingin sa kanya.

"The Rombus are strong. We just can't go there without planning every single move," sabi ni Gavin.

Aira is not crying anymore. She looks determined to find Alyssa.

"Paano tayo mag sisimula? How can we get there?" Tanong ni Lance.

"There's a map sa library. Kunin natin 'yon," sabi ni Kuya.

"Lahat ba tayo pupunta sa library?" I asked.

"No. Lance will get it," sabi ni Clark. Hindi naman umangal si Lance at tumango lang.

"Their place is full of Rombus. They are a fan of traps also kaya hindi ganoon kadaling makapunta roon," sabi ni Gavin. I just listened to them.

I need informations para makagawa ako ng maayos na plano sa utak ko.

"Malakas din silang makiramdam," dagdag naman ni Aira.

"Of course. They are made to be like that," Clark added.

"This necklace is their sign," Sabi naman ni kuya.

"There's something about the necklace, I just can't point it out," sabi naman ni Clark.

"It's their power source," I said. They all looked at me.

"I read it somewhere. Sa isang tagong libro. It said that their soul is in that necklace and that's their source of power. Without it, they will die," paliwanag ko.

"Then, we just need to aim for their necklaces then," sabi ni Gavin. Umiling naman kaagad ako.

"There's an exception. Their leader, hindi hawak ng kwintas ang kapangyarihan niya. I'm sure he's the one who kidnapped Aly," sabi ko. Bumagsak naman ang mga balikat nila.

"The information is enough. Alam na natin ang isa sa kahinaan nila. All we need to plan is the thing we should do to defeat their leader," sabi ni Clark.

"Hindi 'yan magiging madali. Hari ng mga Rombus ang kalalabanin natin," Sabi ni Aira.

"Let's trust ourselves. We are not trained to be weak, we are trained to be strong," sabi ni Clark. He's right.

"We should start a plan then," sabi ni Kuya.

The plan is already okay. Ilang oras din ang inabot namin sa pagpaplano. It's really hard to plan, ang daming dapat i consider but we need to do this to save Alyssa.

Hindi namin alam kung kumusta na ito. I'm sure na may ginawa ng hindi maganda ang lalaking 'yon. He's evil after all.

"What are you thinking?" Clark asked. Kami nalang ang naiwan sa sala. They are all busy preparing and Lance is doing his task, to get the map.

Sabi niya ay hindi 'yon basta bastang nakukuha dahil pribado ang bagay na 'yon. Like, it's the enemies place kaya obvious naman kung bakit.

I don't know kung papaano niya iyon makukuha but I'm sure he will succeed. Clark won't appoint him to do it kung hindi nito kaya.

"Hey." Napalingon ako kag Clark. Oh, I'm spacing out.

"Kanina pa kita tinatawag. Are you okay?" He asked me.

"No. I know they are after me at ginagamit nila si Aly to get me. I hate it, Clark. May taong nadadamay dahil saakin," sabi ko at mapait na ngumiti.

"Haven't I told you before? We are all willing to take the risk and to fight, El. We are willing to fight for each other. Don't blame yourself," Pangangaral nito saakin.

"I can't help it. Paano kung pinapahirapan na siya roon dahil saakin?" I bit my lower lip at napayuko na lang dahil sa naiiisip.

"She's strong. Trust Alyssa, too. Hindi iyon basta-basta," He said. Right, malakas at matalino si Aly.

I hope she will hold on habang gumagawa kami ng hakbang para iligtas siya.

We don't have a plan na ipaalam ito sa iba. We are planning to go there pagkatapos ng festival. Hindi naman kami pwedeng basta basta nalang mawala rito, they will notice it.

May responsibility din kami rito bilang pinakamalakas na mga estudyante. We can't forget that.

It will be a long wait kaya nakakabahala. Masasamang tao ang kumuha kay Aly, she will never be alright.

Gusto nga ni kuya na ngayon na kaagad kami sumugod but we can't, we have things to do here. We need a clean actions.

Isa lang ang pinagdadasal ko ngayon. I want Aly to be strong while waiting for us. We will come for here.
