Death's POV
We're currently here in my mansion. Gurang told me that I'd be the one in charge of the royalties. I don't like being with them, but I don't have a choice.
*Flashback*
Note: Death's POV is not italicized for better living.
I woke up in a place I thought didn't exist.
What am I doing here?
"Princess"
That voice again.
"Princess"
"Who are you?" I asked. Why does she keep appearing in my dream?
"It's time" She said.
"It's time for what?" What is she talking about?
"You have to come back. Your people need you." What people? Is she referring to the mortal world?
Comeback where?
Naging alerto naman ako nang mawala ang liwanag at binalot ang buong lugar ng kadiliman.
Suddenly, different scenarios popped out.
Scenario kong paano namatay ang mga kinikilala kong magulang, kpng paano naging abo bigla ang academy, at kung paano paslangin ng mga taong naka suot ng itim ang mga royalties.
Habang ako, walang ginawa at nakatingin lang sa kanila. Kita sa mukha nila kong paano sila nahirapan at kong paano sila tumingin sa akin na para bang nagmamakaawa?
Why are they looking at me like that?
Napatingin naman ako sa sarili ko at kusang napaawang ang labi nang makita ko kong paano ko paslangin si HM. May hawak akong espada at nakatusok ito sa bandang puso ni headmaster.
No! That's not me! I can't do that to inocent people. Oo, pumapatay ako, pero sa mga makasalanan lang.
"Ansaya tignan hindi ba?"
Napaharap ako sa likuran ko kung saan nanggaling ang boses. Hindi siya basta-basta. Nakakakilabot ang aura niya, kung ordinaryong tao lang ako baka tumakbo na ako sa takot.
"Who are you?"
"Hahaha" Sira ulo pala ang isang 'to.
"I said, Who are you?" I asked again.
"Relax. Hindi pa ito ang oras para makilala mo ako" He dangerously said.
"Pero sa susunod nating pagkikita, isa lang sa atin ang matitira at ako yun." He added.
"Paalam prinsesa." He said and vanished.
Paalam prinsesa?
Damn! Why do they keep calling me Princess? Pagkatapos mawala ng taong 'yun ay nagising din ako. I wasn't able to sleep again, so I did my daily routines.
After fixing myself, lumabas na ako ng dorm at dumiretso sa office ni HM. While on my way, I feel some presence, pero hinayaan ko nalang hanggang sa makarating ako sa headmaster's office.
I push the door without knocking. Naabutan ko si HM na busy sa mga files ng mga studyante niya. Natutulog kaya ang Gurang na 'to?
Instead of greeting him, kumuha ako ng kunai at binato sa kanya. But luckily, he managed to dodge it. Nice.
"Demonica! Jusko kang bata ka, may balak ka bang patayin ako?" He said while holding his left chest.
"Tsk"
"Why are you so early? Hindi ka naman excited ano?" Sa tagal kong nanirahan sa mortal world tingin niya ba, maeexcite pa ako?
"Okay, since ikaw ang nauna dito at ikaw ang mas may alam sa mundo ng mga tao, I'll assign you to be in charge of the royalties." The fuck?
"No." I don't want to be their nanny.
"Please, Ms. De Castro." HM said.
"No"
"Ms. De Castro?"
"What?"
"Please? I'm willing to give you anything you want." Napatingin ako sa kanya.
"Really?" I asked.
"Y-yes!" HM said, stammering.
"Anything?" I asked again, smirking.
Tumango-tango naman siya.
"Mali yata yung sinabi ko huhu." Isip-bata.
"So?"
"So, yun! Ikaw muna bahala sa kanila hehe. At isa pa Ms. De Castro, is it okay na sa bahay mo muna sila mag-stay?" Magiging yaya na nga ako, sa bahay ko pa titira.
"Tsk"
"I'll be the one to make the portal that will send you all to the mortal world." As you should.
"K"
"Haba ng sinabi ko, K lang sasabihin mo?" HM said, pouting.
Lumabas na ako ng headmaster's office at dumiretso sa likod ng school. Doon lang naman kasi pwede gumawa ng portal.
Pagkadating ko, umakyat muna ako sa taas ng puno habang wala pa ang mga alaga ko.
After 1 hour, yeah, 1 hour, I can feel their presence.
*End of flashback*
I became their yaya. Kung hindi lang sinabi ni HM na he'll give me anything I want, hindi ako papayag. If you're asking, kong ano ang hiling ko? Hindi ko pa alam. But I know that someday mapapakinabangan ko ito.
I get my phone and dial Evan's number. Hindi ko ma contact si Butler John. Hindi ko alam kung nasaan na ang isang yun.
*ring ring*
"Yes?" Evan said on the other line.
"I want you to enroll us at Celestine University." I told him.
"Noted, sis." He said.
"You know what to do. I already sent you their files." I will let them use their fake names.
HM didn't tell us where in the world we could find that princess. So, I plan to start our search at my school. Wala namang masama kung doon magsisimula.
"Copy that." I'm thankful that Evan is one call away.
"Okay" I said and ended the call.
If you're wondering, where am I? I am inside my room. I left them earlier 'coz they looked stupid seeing my house. Besides, I process the papers we need at CU.
We need to finish this mission as soon as possible, dahil ayaw ko silang kasama. Sasakit lang ang ulo ko sa mga isip batang royalties na yun.
It's better to be alone than to be with those judgmental and fabulist royalties.
