Mystic Identity (Magic Series #1)

- 3 -

Habang nakain kami, hindi ko maiwasang tumingin kay Caleb. I really like him, though laging mainit ulo n'ya, hindi ko nga alam minsan kung sinasadya na lang n'ya eh.

"I saw that," Papa whispered while eating, I smiled at him. "Through peripheral vision and a little photographic memory."

After we ate dinner, may meeting kaming lahat though we're just minors. "By tomorrow, we'll be leaving tomorrow. We'll go to Emerald City." Sabi ni Papa, Emerald City? Oh's and Ok's ang naririnig ko sa kanila. 

"That means including us?" Paninira ni Reishel ng mood, Papa nodded at him. "Then kailangan naming magpaalam sa mga parents namin."

Tinaasan s'ya ni Papa ng kilay, "Do you even know who your parents are?" Hindi sila lahat nakaimik, "Are there any questions?"

"Emerald City's real?" Sabi ko habang nagbabasa ng kung anong mahagilap ko, we're in the library. "I thought it only exist in Oz, a fantasy book made out of imagination."

"Not all fantasy places stay as fantasy, sometimes you need to expect the unexpected." Sabi ni Papa. Expect the unexpected huh?

After the that meeting, nagsitulog na ang lahat pero ako hindi makatulog. Pumunta ako sa veranda ng kwarto ko. It's full moon pero wala akong magawa kundi ang tignan lamang ang buwan.

I'm a selenophile, I love the moon. The goddess of the Moon is sometimes referred to as Luna and the 'mother' of Vampires.

I kept if all of them are real or not, kung may bampira ba talaga? 3:21 am na. They say it's a devil's hour. Hindi ko rin alam ang pinagsasabi nila minsan eh.

"Oh you're still awake?" Nagulat naman ako dahil kay Zarell, nasa kabilang veranda lang s'ya. Tumango na lang ako, I can't even say a word pag s'ya ang makakausap ko, puro non-verbal ang sagot ko sa lalaking 'yan. Kung si Zenith pa ang kausap ko, baka masagot ko pa s'ya ng ayos.

But still, his as perfect as my Father. Ngayon lang s'ya pupunahin. May naririnig akong kaluskos pati na rin si Zarell. "What's that sound?"

"I don't know either." Sagot n'ya, I don't wanna believe this. Maybe these are just fantasies.

"What the hell!" Sigaw ko, rinig sa buong bahay ang boses ko. Nakita kong nataranta rin si Zarell sa sigaw ko.

I went inside my room and locked the door of the veranda. Nagbukas ang main door ng kwarto ko, "Ano bang nangyari dito?" Sabi ni Mama, "Paanong nagkaroon ng manananggal dito?" All of them are inside my room.

"Black eyes. If I wasn't mistaken, this is from Phantom Kingdom na sakop ng Dragon Kingdom." Sabi ni Papa, nakita ko ang mata n'ya. It's pure black. 

I never estimate her but I need to get my mirror. Nang makuha ko ang mirror ko, my eyes, yung Iris ko. It's green but turns different colors afterward. Binuksan ni Papa ang pinto papunta sa veranda ko.

"Sir, sira po ba utak n'yo?" Tanong ni Reishel, halatang natatakot s'ya.
