Crimson Academy

Powers

Minuklat ko ang aking mga mata at nakita ang aking sarili na nasa isang magandang hardin. Napapalibutan ito ng iba't ibang uri ng mga bulaklak.

Napakaganda ng lugar na ito pero hindi ko malaman kung bakit ako napunta dito.

Nagsimula akong mag lakad at natagpuang may waterfalls kaya lumapit ako dito. Umupo ako sa may gilid at tinignan ang repleksiyon ng aking sarili.

Have you ever heard about the tale of Narcissus who died upon falling inlove with himself?

I stared at my own reflection adoring my features. Not that i'm beautiful. I just love myself...for who I truly am.

And then I remembered something...

And a question suprisingly popped out of my mind.

Do I really have powers? But why? How?

Sa pagkakaalam ko ay isa lang akong hamak na katulong sa bahay nina Tita na pinapahirapan palagi. At isa lamang babaeng may isang kaibigang nangangalang Carlo Dwayne.

Speaking of Carlo, where the hell did he gone by now? Halos mag a-apat na buwan ng hindi ko siya nakikita.

I miss him. I really do. I wish he's here...with me.

If I ever get the chance to see him once more, i'll gladly confess my feelings without hesitation.

Pano kung makabalik ulit ako saamin at sinabi itong lahat na ito kay na Catrina? Maniniwala ba sila?

Eh pano kung nag kita ulit kami ni Carlo? Maniniwala kaya siya?

They would just call me crazy.

Pathetic.

Biglang lumiwanag ang tubig at may nakita akong imahe ng isang babae at lalaki. It was made blurry.

"Go, run..." Isang mahinahong boses ang aking narinig mula sa tubig.

"*sniff* n-no! H-hindi *sniff* kita kayang iwan dito mag isa sa gubat kasama yung mga kalaban!*sniff* masyado silang marami at hindi*sniff*mo sila kayang magisa!"

"No... You have to go. I promise you i'll come back for you... I love you..." Sabi ng lalaki at hinalikan ito sa noo na nagpabilis ng tibok ng puso ko.

Yung parang nararamdaman mo rin na totoo yung halik niya? Napahawak ako sa noo ko dahil ramdam ko talagang totoo ito. At ang pagbilis ng tibok ng puso ko ay hindi kagaya ng pagbilis ng tibok ng puso ko para kay Carlo. Ibang iba ang pagtibok ng puso ko dito sa lalaki kaysa kay carlo. Pero...bakit? Hindi ko siya kilala pero bakit... Bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko?

Hay, bakit ka ba nagkakaganyan chelsea. Baliw ka lang Chelsea... BALIW KA LANG.

Napabalikwas ako sa higaan dahil sa isang di inaasahang panaginip.

WHAT THE HELL.

Ano ba yun? Bakit ba ako nanaginip ng ganon?

It was... too weird to be true.

Pinunasan ko ang pawis na namumuo sa noo ko at huminga ng malalim.

Tinignan ko ang orasan sa room ko at nadatnang 6:13 a.m. palang. Ang simula kasi ng class namin ay 9:00-11:30 ngayong umaga. Pero, bumangon na ako at pumuntang shower room para maligo. Paiba iba ang schedule ng class namin.

Pagkatapos Kong maligo ay nagbihis na ako ng uniporme saka umalis ng room at nilock ang pinto. Tig isa kasi kami ng room ni Yessa.

I mean, that's good though. I don't want to share rooms with her. It's kinda creepy.

Pumunta ako ng living room at nagulat ako ng makita ko siyang andun na. Wow, kanina pa ba siya nandiyan?

"Kanina ka pa ba diyan?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"Yep! Hinihintay lang kita. Tara, let's go. Alas otso na." Sabay kaladkad niya sakin palabas ng room. Namilog naman ang mga mata ko. Ganun ba ako katagal sa loob? "Cafeteria lang muna tayo para mag breakfast then punta tayo ng powder room dahil doon kita ipapaganda hohoho..." Tumango lang ako sa kanya at nagpahila nalang.

I don't know if she means comfort room pero parehas lang ata 'yon. Trip niya lang ata tawaging Powder Room para sosyal.

"Anong gusto mong order, Chels?" Tanong niya sakin nang makaupo na kami sa upuan katabi ulit ng table ng jerk. Eh sa gusto niya daw ulit para makita niya yung gwapong mukha ng Jerk.

"Sandwich nalang at gatas..." Tumango siya at ngumiti bago umalis.

Nilibot ko ang paningin ko at natagpuang halos lahat ay gumagamit ng kapangyarihan nila. It's so cool! I always dreamt of having one of those. Pero at the same time, nakakatakot pagnatamaan ka. Yung isa, nagpalabas ng bato na may apoy na nakapalibot dito. Fireball I think? Napamangha naman ako kasi first time ko makakita ng totoong mahika. At totoo talaga na may kapangyarihang nag e-exist... Nageexist talaga 'to.

Magic is way out of the ordinary when it comes to the Mortals. Their belief is Powers and Magics are only applicable to God.

But they are wrong however in this Academy, students are different...way different from the Mortal Realm. They are also gifted with great power. And that power must have a principle in life, it's either you use it for good, or you take it for granted and use it for evilness.

I don't know but i'm more afraid of what may come.

It is true that it's better to live without magic or powers. But some Mortals are greedy, they want more power. They want to outbreak their limitations like Lucifer did. He wanted to be stronger than God. But desiring for more could cause a lot of consequences in life.

That is why people must be contented for what they have and don't ask for more.

If some says, life is unfair, well incorrect.

For life is just being fair with the people. All people suffers, don't just think for yourself.

Yes we suffer from different perspectives of our lives, but that doesn't mean we should stop on our tracks and mute the beating of our hearts.

Always remember, life is just being fair with each one of us. And if life fucks you everyday, don't worry, trust God for he knows better than you do. Do not question him.

Just think of the circumstances as a survival game that you should win.

And in my game, I will try to win. I won't give up, Crimson Academy.
