Fate of Amulets

FIRST CHAPTER

"Congratulations Hollister, you did well. You already killed the third Keeper who's on the list. That's great." Merfield said while smiling devilishly at her. She remain serious.

"Where is the Ancient Fire Amulet? Can I have it?"

She hand him the Amulet of the Fire God. Pagkakuha nito ny'on ay tinitigan nito iyon ng mabuti. Merfield's eyes were dancing with fascination and amusement.

"Can I see my family now Merfield?" She asked with a firm voice.

Siguro naman papayagan nila na makita niya ang kanyang pamilya. After all, she accomplished her mission smooth.

"Sure. You can see them as a reward. But make sure to come back here quickly. I have your next mission with me. I'll discuss it with you later," Merfield said while smirking at her. She hated the glimpse of evilness in his eyes.

Damn it. Another mission? Will they ever let her rest? She's tired for crying out loud. But then again, she doesn't have any choice. Curse them.

"Yeah. I'll make it quick Merfield."  tumalikod siya at nagsimulang lumakad palabas sa malawak na opisina ni Merfield.

Naiinis siya na sandaling oras lang ang ibinigay nila para maka-usap at makasama niya ang kanyang Mama at kapatid. Kung may choice lang sana siya. Matagal na sana niyang itinakas ang pamilya niya sa impyernong lugar na iyon.  Malayo dito ang buhay na pangarap niya para sakanila.

Gusto niyang iparanas sakanila ang buhay na malaya. Buhay na walang limitasyon sa pagiging masaya. Kaya sa ayaw o sa gusto man niya, kailangan niyang sumunod sakanila.

Alam niyang wala siyang karapatan na humiling ng tahimik na buhay para sa sarili niya, tanggap niya yun dahil alam niyang punong-puno na ng bahid ng inosenteng dugo ang mga kamay niya. At hindi niya ipinagmamalaki 'yon. If only she had a choice. She would never dare kill anyone.

But fate is so unfair to her, they leave her no choice but to follow them to atleast keep her family safe. Hanggang sumusunod siya sakanila, ligtas ang pamilya niya. Ligtas ang Mama at kapatid niya.

Paglabas niya ng pintuan ay agad siyang sinundan ng dalawang guwardya para samahan sa seldang kinalalagyan ng kanyang pamilya.

All eyes are on her as she walks like a boss at the hallway. Tanging tunog ng sapatos na suot niya ang naririnig. All people gave way as soon as they saw her walking. Nakayuko rin ang iba sakanila. Well, there's nothing new with this scenario. Everytime she comes back after finishing her missions, laging ganito ang eksenang inaabutan niya.

What do you expect? Kilala siya sa buong rehiyon ng Western Cassiopè, lalong lalo na dito sa Chronos Academy dahil na rin sa mga misyon na tinapos niya. Different missions that made her hate herself. Iba't-ibang misyon na unti-unting umubos sa pagkatao at dignidad niya, na lumamon sa prinsipyo niya.

They started training her since she was five years old. North Cassiopè is the region where Dark Ministry rules. They forcefully train every person who has the potential to be their weapon. And as for her, she is Dark Ministry's master piece. They taught her how to use her ability for their own good.

As early as nine, they let her had her very first mission, and that is, to kill a man named Ares. Maayos ang takbo ng misyon niya n'ong mga panahong y'on. She was at verge of throwing a sphere at Ares when suddenly, a boy, exactly at her age, came and hug his dying father.

Walang pakialam ang batang yun kung mamatay din siya nang oras na 'yon kasama ng Ama niya. At yun ang hindi niya kinayang makita. Hindi niya kayang tanggalin sa batang yon ang karapatan na makasama pa ang kanyang Ama kaya't dali-dali siyang umalis at binaliwala ang misyon.
