Princess Metanoia (Completed)

Chapter 40:Who is she?

Mag-isa ako ngayong naglalakad sa hallway kong saan ay nakita ak ni Ms. Kathryn noon. Wala akong magawa sa bahay ng mga yun kaya't mas gugustuhin ko na lang malaman kong ano talaga ang nasa likod ng pintong iyon. On why is it calling me.

Speaking of voices, i feel like i wanted to talk to the ghost on my closet back at our dorm.

She's a ghost, baka marami siyang alam tungkol sa mga sumusunod sa akin.

It's 2 in the afternoon and i dont see students here. Mas mapapadali lang ang gagawin ko kapag walang tao rito.

Huminto ako sa harapan ng pintong bumubulabog sa akin at huminga ng malalim. What could be in here?

Hinawakan ko ang handle nito at pipihitin na sana ng makarinig ako ng mga yapak sa kabilang hallway. I quickly ran towards the trash bin and hid there for a moment.

Sa dinami dami ng mapagtataguang ko sa basurahan pa talaga? Iconic.

"Are you with them too?" Umalingawngaw ang boses ni Mrs. Languie na may kausap.

Them? I tried to peak and was shock to see lexy talking with Mrs. Languie. What are they talking about?

"What do you mean principal?"

"The women underground, your working for her?"

Women underground?

"I dont work for people's like her, maybe you do" i could sense the competitive tone of lexy by her words.

"So you know about it too. Arent you feeling guilt? Pinaglalaruan niyo s'ya, betting her life onto your games."

Ni isang salita wala akong maintindihan. I am Sure that we are all using the same language pero bakit wala manlang akong alam sa pinag sasabihin nila.

That women underground, was it related to the door at the detention room?

"You shouldnt interfere principal. We are doing this for the best"

The best? I tried to move closer para mas maintindihan sila kaso sa kasamaang palad ay natumba ko ang karton na nasa harapan ko.

"And what—"

Napaismid ako ng tumigil ang mga ito, shit. Baka makita nila ako dito.

"Who's there?"

Think winter, think!

Ang tanga naman kasi eh.

I took a deep breathe. I could feel my heart beating so fast. Ano na ngayon? Trapped by your own tricks?

"Meow." I imitated those cats I see everywhere.

"A cat?" Lexy giggled.

"I'll go now principal, I hope you will shut your mouth."

I could hear lexy's footsteps dissapearing that made me sigh in relief. Sumunod narin si Mrs. Languie sa kaniya kaya't lumabas nako sa lungga ko.

Muntik na talaga akong naisahan doon.

Then the door caught my attention again. This time i opened it and it wasnt locked.

Sinalubong ako ng napaka-ruming silid at pinapalibutan ng mga kung ano. I nearly yelled when a Group of bats came to my way.

Hinawakan ko ang bibig ko tsaka napahinga ng malalim.

The windows here looks different from the whole Academy. I looked out and saw the forest here. H-How?

Binalik ko muli ang atensyon ko sa mga narito at nasagi ang isang picture frame sa baba. I looked at it and saw a portrait of a women holding a Baby.

The women has a gold like hair with white streaks. And she is smilling sweetly with her baby, mukhang kapapanganak rin nito dahil nakahiga parin ito sa kama at mukhang pagod na pagod.

The picture itself started moving and it showed me the exact movements that happened that day.

"Ohhh, It's a girl!" They rejoiced feeling overwhelmed.

"What would you name her, dear?"

The who gaved birth smiled and kissed her child's head.

"Winter..I will name her winter."

I nearly drop the picture when i heard her say my name.

It could be a coincidence right? It's all a coincidence right?

I looked aroun at the room and saw this large curtain hanging on the wall. Tumayo ako at hinawi ito sa gilid.

I was stunned to see the same women on the wall with a man behind her. May nakalagay na krus sa mukha ng lalaki pero halata namang hindi siya ang ama ko. What does this mean?

The same women is pregnant.

I looked at the words written underneath it and my knees weakened.

Queen Rose Colton Clevere and King Feliciano Clevere with the unborn Princess Winter Summerlein Clevere.

It's just a coincidence but i feel my heart so connected through these pictures. That women on the portrait..she looks exactly like me.

Was it a coincidence after all?

"It's staring right back at you right?" A voice familliar to me caught my attention as i looked back and saw the same ghost at my dorm.

"I-It's just a C-coincidence right?"

She laughed that made me frown.

"Keep believing that and maybe you'll save yourself."

Tiningnan ko muli ang litrato sa harapan ko at hinawakan ito. I feel like Im touching their faces right now that made me smile.

"Pain, made her miserable i think."

Lumingon ako dito at nakita siyang nakatingin sa isang pendant na narito. Madumi na ito at maalikabok.

"What do you know about her?"

Tanong ko tsaka pinulot ang pendant na iyon sa sahig. It's the same pendant the women on the portrait was wearing.

"Nothing. But she's so different now. She's the reason of all of this"

Napakunot ang noo ko sa sinabi nito at tiningnan muli ang litratong napulot ko kanina. Dito nahagip ng paningin ko ang babaeng mas bata at kamukha nito.

"That's her sister." The ghost beside me whispered.

Her sister? Then maybe their still out there!

"Dont waste your time. They'll come to you. Besides, the day you'll meet her is coming near."

"Bat ang dami mong alam tungkol sa kanila?" Naguguluhang tanong ko rito.

"What can i say? That's the reason why Im silenced."
