CNW 68: The Revelations

Noong una ay nagawa ko iyong palipasin. Noong binanggit sa akin ang myth na iyon at tungkol sa nephilim na pinakamalakas daw ay pinalipas ko kahit gulong gulo na ako. Pero ngayon, na si Alpha mismo ang nagbigay sa'kin ng sandatang iyon, at dahil binanggit na rin ni Sky na mula iyon sa nephilim na iyon, sa tingin ko'y hindi ko na kaya iyong palampasin.

“You're a nephilim.” That's not a question, but a fact. I nodded at Klaus. Seryosong tumingin ito sa akin na para bang tinitignan kung totoo ba ang sinabi ko, at kung maniniwala ba sila sa akin kahit na kanina lamang ay nakita nila ang totoo.

Nandito kami sa isang inn na nirent ni Yvonne at Archangel. Malaki ito at sakto lamang sa aming lahat. Nakapalibot kami sa living area kung saan ang iba't nakatayo, ngunit lahat kami ay kumpleto rito.

“Hindi magsasama ang itim at puting kapangyarihan kung hindi ikaw ang may kayang kontrolin noon. And only a nephilim can do that.” Sky voiced out her knowledge. “I read it on a book of myth, about the nephilim who's the most powerful above all. Ang nakakapagtaka,” Humarap ito sa akin, at tsaka kay Alpha. “Bakit si Alpha at hindi ikaw, Nightingale?”

“She doesn't care about being strong.” Red answered. Tumingin ako kay Alpha at nakita ko itong tumango.

“How about you, Alpha?” Yvonne asked. Well, in my case, I don't also know his reason for staying at top. Siguro'y gusto nyang maging malakas?

Hindi ko alam na nakatitig pala ako sa kanya. Naramdaman ko lang iyon nang humarap sya sa gawi ko. “I'm protecting someone.” He simply said, looking straight at me which made my heart erratically beating. Bigla akong napaiwas ng tingin. Oh no. May sakit na yata ako.

But come to think of it. They are my groupmates, my trustworthy companions, and I think I have to tell them about what I've always observed. “I have to tell you something.” Wika ko na dahilan upang mapatingin sila sa akin.

“I trust all of you,” Nagtagal ang tingin ko kay Klaus at Sky, bago ko iniwas at muling nagpatuloy. “That's why I'm going to tell you this.” I look at Yvonne. Alam kong naintindihan nya ang gusto kong sabihin kaya't tumango ito, sinasabing ituloy ko lang. I sighed deeply.

“I was being followed by the officials. It started when we were at the special quest up until now, I think?” I look at Dustine to confirm it because I know he felt them too, and he just nodded. Bumaling naman ako kay Klaus at Sky na mukhang malalim ang iniisip. “Klaus, Sky, sorry for dragging you to this mess.” I sincerely apologised. Ayoko sana silang idamay dito ngunit noong oras na iyon ay mas pinangungunahan ako ng takot na baka mas mapahamak sila.

Sky shook her head and smile. “It's nothing. In fact, if you didn't save us, I know our life ended there.” I know she's talking about the happenings earlier morning.

“Sky's right. And we will going to choose between going with you or questing alone, we'll choose to be with all of you.” Seryosong sabi ni Klaus ngunit ngumiti pa rin. Tumango ako at napangiti sa kanilang sinabi.

“So you mean, Nightingale is the nephilim who's supposed to be on top but because the officials are observing her,” Archangel looks at Alpha as she proceed, “You're staying at the top to protect her, right captain?” She's serious, I know. Ngunit palihim itong tumingin sa akin nang nang aasar. Grabe, ha. Napaiwas ako ng tingin.

“Yeah.” I look at Alpha who just spoke. What? What did he— “I'm protecting her since the start.” Kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa kanyang sinabi.

“Anong ibig mong sabihin? You know that I'm a nephilim?” I asked him, and he answered it by nodding. Pero paano nya nalaman kung noong unang kita namin ay noong special quest nga lang at napakarami nang nangyari noon?
