His Property

Chapter 36 - The Amulet

Athan's Point of View

I have noticed so many changes in Lori's behaviour. She has changed a lot, pati na rin si Eirles. As far as I can remember, Eirles, she is Eclipse's only friend that is a girl.

Colin told me that she has a crush on me back when we were just young, noong mga panahong maayos pa ang pakikitungo ni Colin sa'kin.

I noticed that Lori has been wearing layer of make up lately which is really bad for her beautiful skin. She only wears make up when she needed it and she'll only go to natural look.

She also wear some kind of very revealing clothes which pisses me off when boys look at her with such lustful eyes.

She's even flirting with them that convinces me that she's not the Loriyanne I once knew. I need to find out how can I bring back the true Lori that is now trapped inside somebody else's body and

I'm so glad that she approved to my request. I will bring you back again soon, my love. From the description she said, I think I know what it is.

Isang alahas na may kakaibang hugis. It is an amulet, a very rare amulet that cancels magic and just like the necklace I gave her before, it'll protect it's wearer at all time. It can also turn off the magic that's casted upon someone.

Kinausap ko ang Dean ng academy at pinayagan naman niya ako. Where should I go first? I guess I'll go visit Lori's old house and maybe get some clues in there.

So I arrived at their old house and smelt her fragrance that gets stuck in this old house. Pumasok ako sa loob at nakitang wala namang pinagbago ito.

We've made memories here too and I miss it so much. Her warmth against my body, her love.

Pumasok ako sa kwarto niya at nakita ang mga natitira niyang gamit. That time, napakahirap rin sigurong iwanan ang kinalakhan niyang tahanan.

I searched all the way from her dresser to anything that she might hid something very valuable.

I saw a rose in her bedside table and I was moved when I realized that she kept it somehow pero ngayon ay wala na siya, wala na ring kabuhay-buhay ang rosas na ito.

There's nothing in here so I decided to look for it inside her parent's room. It seemed like pumunta siya rito dahil ang ibang mga gamit na naiwan dito ay wala na.

I searched for anything in their big wardrobe and saw their printed photos when she moved in here. May sulat ito sa likod na sa tingin ko ay sulat ng kaniyang ama.

Nakakita rin ako ng isang box na may sulat sa ibabaw "for the prince". I took it and left dahil sa tingin ko ay wala na talaga dito. Sa tingin ko ay nakuha na niya ito kaya naman ay naisipan kong maghanap sa condo unit niya.

Where could she possibly hid it? Sa drawer? No. Sa cabinet? No. Where is it? Think Athan, think. Kung ikaw si Lori, saan mo maaaring itago ito? If it's not in here, then where could she have put it? I think I know where it is.

In Lori's Body

I'm applying some touch ups right now sa comfort room ng academy nang biglang may pumasok na isang cute na babae dito. Parang kilala ko siya.

"Hey ate Lori" ang sabi nito at nagtaka ako. "Um... Ako?" Tanong ko sa kaniya dahil kaming dalawa lang naman ang nandito atsaka 'yun ang pangalan ng katawan na ito. "Yup" masaya niyang sagot.

"Can I invite you over for a drink at the café?" She asked. Do I know her? Does Lori know her? She looked at me pleadingly. Ano ang gagawin ko? Paano kung kilala nga talaga siya ni Lori tapos tumanggi ako?
