Greatest Witch

Kabanata 17

Snowflake Obsidian

I feel so heavy, weak, and cannot understand what I am feeling. I can smell everything that is around me but I am not able to open my eyes. All I feel is there's something missing inside me... something important and vital.

"Oh my god!"

"This is impossible!"

"P-Paano niya nagawa iyon?!"

"She must be the chosen one!"

"Madam Z, what should we do? Kailangan na natin siyang dalhin sa HR, she need immediate help. I cannot permit she stay here and we do nothing!" His voice gives soothing feeling in my ears.

In some reason, it calms me... 

"Hindi natin siya puweding ilipat kung saan-saan lamang. No one shall touch the stone, kung sino man ang magtangkang galawin ito ay magiging abo."

"We can't just do nothing! She saved us all!"

Oh, Yel. I'm glad they're fine.

"There's an old saying that the stone must be touch with evil desires.. no, I think the stone knows our desire that's why it's here..." The ominous feeling I have since earlier came back.

I tried to speak but words are not able to come out from my lips.

"Stay away from there, Grayeh." It was Enso's voice, he is giving her a warning.

No, no, that immortal can't be trusted!

"Ang sinabi ni Miss Damen ay totoo. We need to take risks for us to save her." Madam Z stated.

"Pero Madam Z walang patunay na totoo iyon!" Giit ni Liam.

"Hindi ko nababasa ang utak ni Shereene ngayon maaring may nangyayari sa kaniya. What if she absorb some black elements?" Yel says.

"I'm sure she had something inside her that's why we should move her." Grayeh insisted.

"Fine, do your thing. Kung may binabalak ka man sa kaniya na ikapapahamak niya, hindi mo magugustuhan ang ganti ko, Damen." Banta ni Flame.

I heard Grayeh scoffs briefly. "You both has the same temper. Your obsession for her worsen, Widerick."

"Shut up and do your thing." Malamig na sagot ni Flame.

Hindi ko man alam kung ano ang pinag-uusapan nila pero sigurado akong importante iyon at may kinalaman sa akin. Kung ano man iyon ay hinihiling kong walang masasaktan at huwag ang taong may hawak sa akin. It will cost me pain and guilt if ever there's harm befall in this man... from the moment his lips claims mine... I choose to surrender everything. Therefore, I will let my heart desire whatever it is, if it's him.. 

"Kailangan ninyong dumistansiya ng limang metro mula rito... kailangang ako lamang ang makakalapit at makakahawak ng batong ito. This thing is exquisite, so rare and very, very, dangerous. I cannot believe I have witness this with all the years I have existed, ngayon lamang ako nakasaksi ng ganito... a birthmark by skin turned into stone? A stone that the heavens possess has been bestow to her, a mere witch!" 

"Watch your words, Miss Damen. Nothing change, she's still the Head of the academy and she possess strong magic among us all." Madam Z utter. 

"Oh, pardon me. I hope you I never offended you in other ways, Madam Z." 

"Why would I, child? Stop stalling time... pick up the stone." 

"When the world become darker, the light shines above and there I witness the heavens gate... tell me, would I possess you if I touch you, perilous stone?" Her voice gives creeps inside me. I tried to speak and open my eyes but I still cannot!
