Black Wings: Raven Heart (Book 3)

Chapter 27

Everyone's preparing for the wedding. And I here I am, I locked my self inside the room.

Looking at my naked self in front of the mirror. The marks looks like black vines, and it already reached my hand and neck.

Am I gonna die soon?

Kinuha ko ang damit ko, turtle neck and Long sleeves with knee length black gown. I wore my white stocking and black shoes.

There's nothing I can do about it, kailangan ko syang itago. What happened before is more than enough, I dragged them all with my problem, so... Ngayon, I'm gonna face this my self.

There must be a way to remove this.

Or maybe, I won't die from this.

Hindi ko na alam..

I passed by the library, at bukas ito konti. I heard dad's voice kaya tumigil ako sandali. Maybe they won't notice me.. Pero maybe lang.. Since they're busy talking.

"Are you really sure about this?"dad

"Yes dad. I'm sure.."Angelo

"I've always thought that you and Jackilyn would be together. You've been so close. We never thought that the person you like was Margaret."mom

"Well, I thought of that first too.. Then I realized that I like Margaret more, kaya naman I gave her to Nathan, that's why I tried helping him for them to be together."Angelo

I've heard enough.. Dahan-dahan akong umatras at nagmadaling umalis.

Hindi ako laruan na ipinamimigay na lang sa iba kapag ayaw na nila sa akin.

It's moving too fast.. The wedding will be in a month, kaya naman busy ang lahat ng tao sa preparation dito. She'll be living here with us after the wedding.

Nathan would be busy too.. Looks like I'll be alone for a while.

I never really thought of having someone to be with me for the rest of my life.. Looks like I'll be alone for hundreds of years.

Napatigil ako sa may patio, nandoon si Penelope naka-upo at tumatawa. May kausap syang lalake. Napalingon si Penelope sa akin and smile then waved at me. Tumayo sya, tumakbo, at niyakap ako.

"Ate Jackilyn!"Penelope

Kinarga ko sya at niyakap. "What are you doing here? Akala ko ba bukas pa ang dating nyo."

Tumayo yung lalake and bowed, ngumiti lang ako since karga ko si Penelope.

"Pina-una ako nila mommy at daddy. By the way ate, this is my cousin. Kuya Jason Anthony-"

"Jace.. My name's Jace."agad nyang sabi. And he offered his hand for a handshake

He have long white hair and gray eyes. He have a scar on his face, and it really suits him well. He looks like a warrior who survived from a war.

And he have this mature vibe pero he still looks young.. I mean young like age bracket namin nina Nathan..

"Nice to meet you, I'm Jackilyn."sabi ko naman. I carried Penelope on one hand and accepted his handshake with my other hand.

"Oh.. Here, I'll take her. Sorry.."sabi nya at kinuha nya si Penelope from me and he's carrying her right now.

May binulong sya kay Penelope and she became very excited habang tumatango-tango.

"Ate, pupunta kami sa bayan. We're going to eat ice cream! Sama ka ate!"Penelope

Plano ko sanang magkulong sa silid ko ngayon.
