Stranger
Selene
"Pakawalan niyo ako!" I said, as I tried to break these large walls. "Let me go or I'll tear down this wall!"
"Selene darling," Hades said while smiling from the other side of the room, "You should stop yourself from trying, this room is perfectly built for you. You can not use your power inside that room. I made it so that you can never leave my side again."
I stared at him with so much hatred, "When will you ever get tired of doing this, Hades? I don't love you and I will never love you. Can't you understand that?"
Hades' smile vanished from what I said as he transformed into his devil form.
"You are mine Selene! You are mine alone!"
"I am not yours, Hades!" I said as I stared at him with so much disgust and hatred. "I could never love a demon like you."
Hades' bloody eyes turned to me and said, "Too bad, I've already set a date." Aniya't inilahad ang isang papel na naglalaman ng mga detalye sa... kasal namin?
"Who did this?" Galit na sabi ko't muling nilingon siya. "I never agreed to marry you, Hades! I will never marry you."
"You have to," Eos said as she appeared from Hades' back. "We made an agreement, Selene. You're marrying Hades."
"Why?" I said weakly and felt so betrayed as she answered my question. "Why are you doing this?"
"I am doing this to prove everyone that I am better than you," Eos said with angry dark eyes. "That, Mom and Dad should've made me the lady of Light instead of you."
Natahimik ako, hindi makapaniwalang nangyari at ginawa ni Eos ang lahat nito nang dahil sa inggit.
"Do you know how much I hate you?" Aniya't sarkastikong tumawa. "I hated you so much, I can kill you with my own hands. You were always Dad and Mom's favorite while I was being left aside. You knew how much I wanted to be the Goddess of Moon but you took that opportunity away from me." Aniya't mabilis na pinunas ang tumakas na luha mula sa kaniyang mga mata.
"Now, you must suffer the consequences." Sabi niya kasabay ng pagpasok ng itim na usok sa paligid ng kwarto ko.
Oh no, I said as I covered my nose in an attempt to protect myself from being controlled by this smoke. This smoke is Hades' black magic. If I inhale it, Zeus can completely control me!
"Eos," I said weakly as darkness slowly filled my system. "I already forgive you. I-i love you." Huling sabi ko kasabay ng paglamon sa akin ng dilim.
Zion
"This is it," Amara said as the day finally arrived. The birth of Solar Eclipse. "Is everyone ready?"
"Wait," Caleb said while fixing his necktie. "Do I look nice?"
"Mind you, hindi ikaw ang magpapakasal Wolfram." Napapailing na lamang na sabi ni Amara habang nakatingin kay Caleb. "Wag ka masyadong magpapogi."
"Ayiie," Pang-aasar ni Caleb dito. "Pogi daw ako."
"H-halika na nga!" Sabi na lamang ng namumulang si Amara't pumasok na sa ginawang portal ni Helios para sa amin.
When will ever these two stop playing around and just make their relationship official?
"Mag-iingat kayo," Helios said before letting us go. He wanted so bad to come with us but after being stuck inside Hades' prison for a long time, he is still too weak to fight. "Ibalik niyo ang kapatid ko."
"Don't worry, Helios." Caleb said with confidence. "We will take Selene away from that demon. We won't let her get married to a monster."
Helios gave us a warm smile before finally nodding his head and wishing us good luck.
Selene, please wait for me.
Belle
"Where is she?" Eos said as she was moving around the palace like a crazy woman. "The wedding is about to start and Selene is still missing! Sabi ko na nga ba't hindi dapat siya pinakawalan ni Hades sa kwarto niya."
Napabuntong-hininga ako, hindi pa 'ring magawang tanggalin ang ala-alang may imahe ng galit na anyo ni Zion nang magkita kaming dalawa.
"I don't know you anymore, Belle." Sabi niya't madilim akong tinitigan. "Hindi na kita kaibigan."
Tinalikuran na ako ni Zion pero bago pa man siya tuluyang makaalis ay hinabol ko siya't niyakap sa likod.
"I love you Zion!" Sabi ko habang patuloy na umiiyak. "Ginawa ko 'yun dahil mahal kita. I did everything just to make you notice me and to finally forget Selene!"
Marahas akong tinulak palayo ni Zion at sinabing, "Well, your plan didn't work."
Takot akong napaatras nang makita ang galit sa mga mata niya habang naglalakad siya papalapit sa akin.
"In fact, you just made me realize how worthless you are," He said with so much anger. "You're a monster, Belle. I can never love someone like you." Sabi niya't tinalikuran na ako kasabay ng malakas na pag-kidlat ng kalangitan at ang pagtulo ng mga luha ko.
Bakit? Bulong ko't tahimik na napaiyak. Why can't I make him love me?
"You," Eos said as she stared at me. "Why don't you go and search for Selene?"
Napabuntong-hininga na lamang ako't marahas na inalis ang luha sa mga mata ko upang sundin ang nais niyang mangyari. As if I have a choice.
Nagulat na lamang ako nang biglang mahagip ng paningin ko ang isang pamilyar na anyo ng tao.
Zion? I said as I walked closer to his direction. What is he doing here?
I saw him walking in the kingdom's hallway. As if he was search for something.
I followed him from behind and there, I saw him standing helplessly while looking for someone, for Selene.
"Anong ginagawa mo rito?" Malamig na tanong 'kong dahilan upang mapalingon siya sa direksyon ko. "You're not welcome in this place."
Walang emosyon niya akong nilingon, tila'y hindi apektado sa sinabi ko't tinitigan lamang ako gamit ang malamig niyang mga mata.
What have I done? I mumbled as I looked at his cold eyes. What have I done to make him look at me in this way?
I was expecting him to say something but I was left in shock when he just walked pass me. As if he never knew the person standing before him.
"Wait!" I said before he could finally walk away. "Are you looking for Selene?"
"I don't know you," Zion said with a cold low voice, completely ignoring my question. "You're nothing but a stranger to me." Aniya't umalis na.
This is all my fault. I said as tears started to flow out of my eyes. He hates me.
Zion
"Selene!" Tawag ko sa babaeng mahal ko kahit na kanina ko pa iniikot ang palasyo na ito upang hanapin siya. "Selene it's me, Zion! Please, come out!"
Napahawak ako sa tuhod ko as i'm trying to catch my breath. Caleb, Amara, and I decided to split up in order to find Selene but up until now, we have no sight of her.
Napatigil na lamang ako't unti-unting napaangat ng tingin nang makakita ng isang pares ng puting sapatos sa harapan ko't magtama ang tingin naming dalawa.
The lovely girl with purple eyes.
"Selene!" I said as I hugged her tightly. "I've been looking everywhere for you. Come with me. Let's go home, together—" Hindi ko nagawang tapusin ang sasabihin ko nang itulak niya ako palayo't sinabing..
"It's you," Aniya't tintitigan ako gamit ang walang emosyong mga mata. "The person who killed my parents."
