"Looking for me?" taka kong tanong kaya tumango si Shantal "Yes. She said that the King and Queen is looking for you" paliwanag niya
"That Queen of Hearts is bad! Lagi na lang nagsasabi ng 'Off with your head!' " sabi ni Ana at tumayo pa sa upuan sabay turo ng isang daliri sa ere
"You should run Agatha or its off with your head for you" sabi ni Nathan kaya bigla akong natakot.
Off with your head?
Napalunok ako sa pwedeng mangyari "Do you know what you can't trust in this world?" sabi niya kaya napalingon ako sa kanya
"What?" tanong ko kaya tiningnan niya ako sa mata "Fear and anger" sabi niya kaya natahimik ako
"If you don't know where you are then how can you move on?" sabi niya kaya napakagat labi ako "There are two doors in one room, one is the path to the future and one where your stuck in the past" sabi niya
"I.." napatigil ako sa pagsasalita ng bigla kong nakita si Hazel kaya napatayo ako "Choose the right path Agatha and not the best one" sabi ni Nathan bago ako tumakbo paalis and was lost in the garden again.
Saan ba kasi nagpupunta ang babaeng 'yon?
"Queen said to paint it red!" sabi ng isang tinig kaya sinilip ko at nakita ang dalawang lalaki na nakasuot ng circus outfit but without make up "She said blue!" sagot ng isa.
"Red Tyler!"
"Blue Tyron!"
Tinitigan ko sila habang nagaaway at sinasamaan ng tingin ang isa't-isa "How about you paint it black?" suhestiyon ko kaya liningon nila ako
"Black? That's too gothic" reklamo ni Tyron "So you both prefer to paint the Philippine flag?" pagtaas kilay ko kaya nagkatinginan sila at napakamot ng leeg kaya tiningnan ko ang hawak nilang malaking paint brush kung saan yung pinagaawayan nilang kulay at sa pader na hindi mo na maipinta ang kulay dahil sa pagaaway nila.
"Nothing's permanent so why bother? Hindi din magtatagal ay iibahin nanaman ang kulay" sabi ni Tyler "Then use the time when the color is still there" sabi ko
Bakit biglang lumalim ang topic namin kung kulay lang naman ang pinaguusapan namin?
"And dwell in the past kung nawala? Everything has an end" sabi ni Tyron "Everything changes" sabi nilang dalawa then I could hear voices not far from where I'm standing
"The Ace of Spades is here, you have to leave now" tarantang sabi nilang dalawa habang nakatingin sa gawi ng ingay
"Ace of Spades?" tanong ko ng biglang may humila sakin, he was wearing the same as the twins but he's was black and a Club logo was on his back gaya ng kambal.
Tumigil kami sa pagtakbo kaya hinihingal ako at tiningnan ang lalaking tumulong sakin "Charles.." bulong ko kaya ngumiti siya "Don't let the Ace of Spades get you, dadalhin ka niya sa palasyo ng Queen of Hearts" sabi niya
"Why?" tanong ko "Gusto kang makita ng mahal na reyna at hari" sabi niya kaya kumunot ang noo ko "Mahal na reyna at hari?" tanong ko kaya tumango siya and pointed to a direction unknown to me
"Go there and be careful" sabi niya bago umalis kaya naglakad na ako patungo sa tinuro niya when a horse came galloping infront me kaya napaupo ako sa sahig sa gulat
"Woah there boy" sabi ng nakasakay before going down the horse at tinulungan akong tumayo "Are you okay?" tanong niya kaya tumango ako, naka-suot siya ng armor para sa isang palace knight
"William.." tawas ko kaya ngumiti siya "I'm sorry, where are you going? Samahan na kita papunta 'don as a sign of apology" sabi niya
"Thank you" sabi ko kaya ngumiti siya at inalayan akong makataas sa kabayo. Ligtas kaming nakapunta sa isang pinto.
