CIELLE
“Please tell me we’re not getting in trouble for what we’re about to do.” I said.
“May approval naman Cielle.” Sagot ni Jett.
“Nino?” Tanong ko.
“Ni Gray—” sagot ni Jett pero bigla s’yang binatukan ni Aila “—Aila aray ha! Makabatok ‘to, paano kung nalaglag yung ulo ko?!”
“My God kung gagawa kayo ng kung anong kalokohan pwede ba ‘wag kayo mandamay?!” Reklamo ni Aila.
“Ang ingay n’yo ano ba! Mahuhuli tayo sa kasisigaw n’yo.” Saway ni Gray kaya natahimik yung dalawa.
It’s past curfew but here we are. Following Gray. Mukhang wala ideya si Aila at Jett sa pupuntahan namin. Pero parang medyo familiar sa akin yung dinadaanan.
Aila and Jett already got filled in about the Art of Evolution. The two of them, however, thinks it’s just a theory that Gray and I came up with. Kahit na nasabi namin yung nangyari, when the water I was wielding became solid, they couldn’t believe.
Of course, they asked me to show them. But I didn’t know how. So here we are, sneaking out in the middle of the night.
Malakas daw kasi ang kutob ni Gray na may mahahanap kaming useful sa isa sa mga hidden room dito sa university. Tinanong pa nga ni Jett kung bakit hindi sa Palasyo. But Gray answered that the Palace isn’t old enough as it is.
And if there’s something older than the current Palace of the Royal Family of Artisan, it’s Hudson University.
“Gray alam kong may korona ka pero hindi pa yung pinakamakapangyarihang korona ang nasa ‘yo.” Seryosong sabi ni Jett. “Kapag ba nahuli tayo sa ginagawa natin—”
“Alam ng mga magulang ko ginagawa ko.” Sagot ni Gray.
“Then why are we sneaking around? Pwede naman pala na hindi kami sa bintana lumabas ni Cielle eh!”
“My parents also think that the Art of Evolution is a theory unless we find evidence that proves it isn’t.”
“And we think that the university is the perfect place to look for it.” Dagdag ko.
This was the Palace before King Dustin’s reign, Princess Desiree’s brother who succeeded the throne since she died. At yung mga journal ay laging nababanggit si Princess Desiree, Alastair, Eleanor, and Ulysses.
Nakarating naman kami sa gubat kung saan yung Pavilion. And from what I can remember from what Gray said when we were in the club room, this is the safest place for us. May nagr-rounds kasi sa buildings.
Mahihirapan kami kung isa sa mga room ang pipiliin namin.
Naghiwa-hiwalay kaming apat at kahit hindi ko tingnan ay sigurado akong may column o hagdan silang dinidiinan. Yun din kasi ang ginagawa ko.
Hanggang sa may narinig kaming parang bumukas.
We all looked at one another and Gray was the first one to enter the part of the Pavilion where we an opening is. Aila clung her arm with mine as we entered the passage. We both nearly jumped when we heard it close.
“Kapag ako namatay dito, itutulak ko kayong magpinsan pababa sa impyerno.” Aila threatened which the two didn’t pay attention to.
Or so I thought.
“Para namang langit mapupuntahan mo.”
And they got into an argument until we heard something which made silence prevail. We looked at each other before we continued walking.
