DEADLY PRINCE SERIES 1: That Black Prince

Chapter 22

White's POV

What!? Labyrinth? I admit that Shadow is not an ordinary child but destroying labyrinth is getting overboard!

We hastily locate Shadow and as soon as we had located him we went directly to where he was..

Nakita namin sya sa bungad nang isang labyrinth. Hahakbang na sana sya papasok ngunit nilapitan sya ni black at hinawakan sa balikat para pagilan sya.

Subalit hindi ko inasahan ang sunod na nangyari. Natulos ako sa aking kinatatayuan habang nakatingin sa mag ama. Nakita ko mismo sa aking harapan kung paano nabalot nang itim na usok ang buong katawan ni shadow at biglang tumilapon papunta sa aking paanan si Black.

"Black!" Dali-Dali akong lumapit Kay black at tinulungan syang tumayo.

Isang malakas na pwersa ang biglang tumama sa aming dalawa ni black na naging dahilan nang pagtilapon namin.

Hindi pa man kami tuluyang nakakatayo nang nakita ko si Shadow na mabilis na lumapit samin.

I even saw his after images as he move faster than the naked eye can hardly see. In just a blink of an eye, he was already in front of us ready to attack. I look at his face very closely and I saw some strange black marks on his face, neck and arms.

He was about to attack but in a swift move, black was already in his back.

"Tama na Shadow"

He tapped his neck and slowly the marks on his body had disappeared and he slowly closed his eyes.

"Black, what just happened?"

"He rarely losses control of his power, I wonder what's the cause this time.."

"He look so demonic when he lose control.."

"Yeah I know, that's why I chose him as my successor because he's the same as me"

Black left Shadow on my care as he went to the labyrinth to fixed everything.

I was already in the mansion at exactly Shadows room.

Nakahiga si Shadow sa kanyang kama at ako nama'y naka-upo sa upuang malapit sa kama nya. I was just observing his room and admiring it's neatness until I saw something that had caught my attention...A book shelf near his windows.

Nilapitan ko ang book shelf at tinignan ang mga libro. I feel Nostalgic! I miss my books on Aquaheart mansion. I think, I will always be addicted to books forever.

I was hesitant at first to touch his books because they're not mine but I thought that I could gain new magic skill if I read magic books more often however, as I read the first page of the books I was unaware that I had grip it too lightly that it fell on the floor with a loud thud.

Why was a child reading this book? I know his not an ordinary child but isn't it too early to learn this? Because the content of the book is about how to kill a person in different ways!

"Bakit mo pinakealaman ang gamit ko?"

Narinig ko ang boses ni Shadow sa aking likuran. Pinulot ko ang nalaglag na libro sa sahig at ibinalik ko sa book shelf. Suddenly, I realize the book in his shelf are all the same but in different volumes. They are entitled as "The Art of Killing". What a strange book...

"I'm sorry, tinignan ko lang naman."

Bumalik ako sa pagkakaupo sa upuan na malapit sa kama ni Shadow.

"Next time, don't touch the things of others without the owners permission"

He's statement hit me big time. It was really my fault being scolded by a mere child.

"By the way, why did you go on rampage Shadow?" I asked because I'm curious. Black said he often lose control unless he's provoke.

"It's none of your business woman!" Sabi nya nang nakasimangot at umirap pa sakin bago tumingin sa bintana.

This kid is really getting on my nerves! Should I teach him what respect to elders is because he really lack that value!

But then, I realized..I'm not his mother to discipline him in the first place.

"Mukhang babalik na kayo sa emperyo" biglang turan ni shadow na kumuha ng aking atensyon.

"Huh? how can you say that?"

Meron syang tinuro mula sa labas ng bintana. Tinignan ko ang tinuturo nya at nakita ko ang karawahe na aming sinakyan papunta dito.

Hindi nagtagal ay aming narinig ang katok sa pinto at sa aking pagbukas ng pintuan sumalubong sa akin ang lalaking kawal ni Black.

"Third Mistress, uuwi na po kayo sa emperyo"

"O sige"

Lumingon ako Kay Shadow para magpaalam at paglingon ko'y nakita ko syang nakatingin sakin na wala man lang emosyon.. what did I expect?

"Good bye Shadow"

Tumalikod na ako at sumunod na sa kawal.

"Wait!" Napahinto ako sa paglalakad at lumingon sa kanya.

"You should win on the Queens heir! Don't ever lose!" Hindi ko maintindihan ang ibig nyang Sabihin pero tumango parin ako at sa aking pagtalikod Kay Shadow, yun na pala ang huli naming pag uusap...
