Angel Outside but Demon Inside

"wake up sweety.."

I heard a sweet voice. I opened my eyes and I saw my mom. A beauty and a beast all at once.

I saw myself in the mirror beside her.

It's me when I was about 9 years old. I knew I was dreaming.

"get up. We need to train. It's already 3:00 am." I watched my younger self moved. Train in this hour?

I was startled when mom slashed a dagger infront of my younger self.

This is crazy. What's happening? I was more surprised when my younger self dodged it with another dagger.

I was at a state where I couldn't even believe that I'm actually the one who's in my dream.It felt surreal

Is this real? I roamed my eyes in the room and it was my first ever room when I was a neophyte in the assylum.

But my mom told me I was never trained that hard. Is she lying?

I was about to try to wake up myself when I heard a loud bang. My mom is holding a pistol.

She almost hit my younger self in the head!

"Focus Rhiannon." She shouted. My younger self didn't move.

"I'm still sleepy mothe--" AND she tried to shoot again.

"Remember that you're the heiress of the Emperors Mafia! How are you going to lead your men when you are this weak and unfocused?" I watched my younger self faught with mom angrily. You can see it in her eyes that she's tired.

Emperor's Mafia? Heiress? The Mafia was dethroned and removed out of the list personally by the Queen of Assassins, Vlam--

*****

"Pres?"

"pres wake up."

I found myself in the arms of Venice.

"I'm fine Venice."

"are you sure? Mukha kang hinabol ng sampong kabayo.."

I rolled my eyes.

"hindi ko tatakbuhan ang kabayo, sasakyan ko ang kabayo at makikisabay ako sa ibang kabayo." sabi ko at tumayo.

Ngumiti ito. Venice is a kind girl. No wonder Kris is aiming her heart. Pero hindi rin ako tanga para hindi mapansing may pagtingin din kay Venice si Hiro.

I sighed. Naalala ko nanaman ang napanaginipan ko.

Tumingin ako kay Venice at sinenyesan ko siyang lumabas saglit.
Ilang minuto akong nanatili sa aking pwesto.

I sighed.

It felt so real.

But that will never happen. Hindi pwedeng maging totoo yon. My mother will never lie to me.

I let out again a big sigh.

Then, the door opened.

"Did you have another dream again?" Blaze asked.

"Yeah. A bit creepy." I answered followed by a sigh.

"Monster? Villains? Ghosts?" He asked. Umiling ako.

"Hindi. It's more like dreaming myself and mom fighting for our lives." Umarko ang kilay nito. Minsan talaga mapapabilib ka nalang dahil he's more fluent in tagalog than the other guys na matagal nang nasa Pilipinas. He's really good at everything.

"You and tita? Are you kidding me?" Sabi niya. Close sila. Mukhang mas close pa sila kaysa samin mismo ni Mom. Malakas siya kay mom e.

I sighed again.
