Avery And The Magical Locket [on-going]

chapter 16

(her pov)

As i felt someone's touch i began to open my eyes. Ng maibuka ko na ang mga mata ko ay agad bumungad sa akin ang kahoy at maalikabok na bubong. I tried to sit pero sumasakit yung likod ko everytime i move around.

"easy there" i heard red's voice at inalalayan akong umupo. Agad ko namang nilibot yung paningin ko and saw messy things around a broken window and dusty furnitures. I guess i was still in the house.

"asan sila?" i tried to asked.

"nasa labas, they are guarding the woman who attacked you" sagot niya para maalala ko yung ginawa sa akin ng babae kanina. Napakuyom naman ako ng maalal yung ginawa niya sa akin.

"that woman" i hissed at mabilis na tumayo pero agad rin akong napaupo ng maramdaman uli yung sakit sa likod ko.

"wag ka munang gumalaw, baka lalala lang yang sugat mo" paalala sa akin ni red na ikinagulat ko. I have a wound?

"i have a wound?" i asked as my eyes widened. No wonder masakit yung likod ko.

Napakamot naman siya sa ulo niya."yes, that woman attacked you real hard kaya nagkasugat ka"

Napabuntong hininga naman ako at dahan dahang tumayo kaya mabilis naman akong inalalayan ni red patungo sa labas. Naabutan ko naman silang binabantayan yung babae kanina na nakatali ngayon sa upuan.

"avery ,your awake" fiel said ng makita niya ako. Ngumiti naman ako ng pilit at umupo sa upuan katapat ng babae.

"what is your name?" i asked pero inirapan lang ako nito.

"why do you ask?" she answered. Looks like she really hated us.

"wala lang, baka kasi magkita tayo muli, by then i can call you by your name" i answered simply and leaned at the chair pero agad rin akong napangiwi ng maramdaman ang sakit sa likod ko. Ghadd! Nakalimutan ko na may sugat pala ako.

"why are you here?" siya naman tung nagtanong.

"we came to see what really happened to the capital" shaira answered while playing with her knife. Shaira is good at knife kaya laging dala dala niya ang kaisa isa niyang kutsilyo.

"capital?, you mean the city?" she asked. Mukha atang interesado siya ah.

"you look like you are interested, may nalaman ka ba?" i asked pero agad naman siyang umiling at napadapo ang kanyang paningin sa pin ko.

"that... Pin, t-that is the.... Academy" she said stuttering habang tinuturo yung pin ko. Napakunot naman ang noo ko sa inasta niya.

"do you know something about the academy?" i asked pero nanatili naman siyang tahimik.

"look, we are not trying to hurt you. We were just asking if you know something about the academy" i said kaya kumalma naman siya.

"i do know something about the academy, but i will not state it to you. Ayaw ko na kasing may connection pa sa pinapasukan niyo" sagot niya na mas nagpalito sa akin. She cannot state it why?

"but i will tell you this, beware of whom you trust, because the enemy is born on the academy" sabi niya. The enemy? Born on the academy? How? And who?

'" how can you be so sure?" tanong naman ni kyre na sinang ayunan namin.

"because i've been there" simple niyang sagot. She's been there? Nakakapagtaka naman, kung tingnan mo kasi siya ay parang ka edad lang kami.
