Atlast! After we encounter different types of codes and riddles we made it! I don't actually expect us to be on place but yeah I think we're lucky enough to be the second group to reach the finish line. It's indeed amazing.."Okay since we got the second place! You guys can all roam around and enjoy the rest of the morning but when the noon comes make sure you'll be on our spot."we cheered because of what Fiana told us.
Honestly i've been dying to roam around the campus specially there is so much to enjoy..there's obviously some booths though it's a bit different from what I knew.
"Be careful! Madaming trap sa paligid!"
My sudden thoughts faded when a random student shouted. Well..that's quite interesting. Thanks to him who shouted the info cause I never knew about that..kung wala pa lang sisigaw non ay hindi ako magiging informed? Oh well maybe I should be cautious while I enjoy the day.
"There you are!"I startled when Ryan jumped out of nowhere. "I've been looking for you for almost an hour or two!"He sighed then he wiped his sweat on his temple.
"Free ka rin ngayon 'diba? Tara maglibot!"hindi na niya ako hinintay makapagsalita at kinuha na niya ang kamay ko.
So I spent my time being dragged by this man anywhere we can freaking go. And it was really tiring! Ikaw ba naman ang mahila ng mahila kung saan saan tapos minsan muntik na kaming mabiktima ng mga trap dahil sa natatapakan namin.
"Let's get inside!"and for the nth time..he grabbed my wrist while we walk towards the room that I don't know what they call it.
When we fully entered the dark room,I—I mean we heard some foot steps near us.
"You're here too?"the three V's asked in unison.
"And you too?"napalingon naman ako sa tinitignan nung tatlo sa likuran namin ni Ryan.
"Just lookin' around.."malamig na sagot ni Zinc. 'Where's your Angel in Disguise Adrielle Morrigan? Hindi mo ata kasama ngayon."I mentally rolled my eyes at my sudden thought.
My thoughts immediately faded when I—I mean we heard a deafening noise..until I realized that we've been separate—-
"So it's just you and me now huh?"napalingon ako sa likuran ko at bahagyang napaatras.
"V-victoria.."I said almost on whisper.
"You know what?"humalukipkip siya at inikutan ako habang ako naman ay nakasunod ang tingin sa kaniya.
"I've got some story to tell.."she sighed and she walk towards me without breaking our eye contact.
"Once upon a time..I saw a girl on my dreams.."she laughed sarcastically. "And you know what? She was born and raised on the human world..she's a fake!"bahagya akong napaatras at siya naman ay patuloy na humakbang palapit.
Akmang tatalikod ako ay hinawakan niya ang braso ko. "Wait! I'm not yet done dear..don't you want to know the most interesting part of the story?"maarte niyang tanong na ikinailing ko.
Lumapit pa siya lalo at tinulak tulak ako. Bakit nga ba ako napunta sa mundong 'to? Yes, I have the power..but for me I belong to the human world! On earth! Not here! Ayoko naman talaga dito sa Athanasia in the first place!
"I got to know her name..she is...you.."she touched the strands of my hair and pulled it a bit. "Layla Andrada? Nag-aaral sa Yukio High? YOU.ARE.SUCH.A.FAKE! YOU FCKING HALF BREED BTCH! GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM!! YOU DON'T BELONG HERE!"napapikit ako sa pagsigaw niya at pagsabunot niya sa buhok ko.
Tumalsik ako sa sahig sa lakas ng tulak niya at hindi pa siya natapos don. Yumuko siya at pinagsasampal ako.
"YOU PLASTIC BTCH! ANO??! BAKIT HINDI MO GAMITIN SA'KIN 'YANG LAKAS MO? MALAKAS KA DIBA?? MAGALING KA?! WHY DON'T YOU FIGHT BACK!!"lalo siyang naiinis at lalo akong sinabunutan at pinagsasampal ng hindi ko siya ginagantihan.
She's right..Why am I here anyways? But how can I go back? Gustuhin ko man bumalik hindi ko naman alam kung paano..all I can do is to accept the fact that i'm here..I got here..i'm destined to be here.
"Miss Victoria Lodge.."biglang napatigil si Victoria sa pagsampal sakin at dali daling tumayo at humarap sa nasa likuran niya.
"Care to explain what you're doing?"tumayo ang balahibo ko sa lamig ng boses nito.
Tinanggal ko ang mga strands ng buhok kong nakatabing sa mukha ko ng makita ang tanong nagsasalita.
"H-he-headmaster S-s-she-sherica!"Natatakot na sabi ni Victoria.
Headmaster Sherica glanced at a timer that she's holding. "Now explain..i'll give you twenty seconds."then she pressed the button.
"Headmaster! She's a halfbreed! She's supposed to be on human world cause it's where she belongs! Hindi siya nababagay sa Athanasia! She's fake! Headmaster i'm telling th—
"Time's up.."nilagay ng headmaster ang pareho niyang kamay sa kaniyang likuran at bahagya naglakad palapit ng konti kay Victoria.
"Andrada stand up."napatingin ako sa headmaster at nagmamadaling sumunod.
"....You may go."tumango ako at yumuko ng konti bago umalis ng dark room na ang hindi makitang daan palabas kanina ay kitang kita ko na agad.
———
"Miss Victoria Lodge? Do wanna hear my story?"nagtatakang tumingin lang ang dalaga sa headmaster. "Are you familiar with the Five Highly Queens?"dahan dahan itong tumamgo. "We all know that one position is vacant..they're just four..and here comes my story."
"Once upon a time there's this queen who went missing after the tragedy happened. After 180 years..she came back...end of story."
"This is insane! You mean—-
"Your manners Miss Lodge!"putol ng headmaster sa sinasabi ni Victoria.
"I'm sorry headmaster."yumuko ito bilang pag respeto at paghingi ng tawad.
"I want you to keep this on yourself..Miss Lodge..she's not a half breed you think she is.."tinalikuran siya ng headmaster at naiwan siyang tulala at hindi makapaniwala sa mga narinig.
