DECAGON HIGH: School for The Gifted and The Misfits

Chapter 9: To Conquer The Beast

Naglalakad ako ngayon patungo sa classroom,  habang tinatahak ang daan di ko maiwasang mapatingin sa mga pinag gagawa ng mga estudyante'ng  nadadaanan ko. Para lang ri'ng nung nasa normal pa ako na mundo, Kung saan gigising ng maaga babatiin sina mom at dad ng good morning,  papasok, mag-aaral ng mabuti, uuwi at manonood ng mga napaka gandang mga bituing kumikinang sa langit bago matulog.

Tanging buntong hininga na lamang ang nagawa ko, Mukhang ang dati ko'ng normal na mundo unti-unti ng babago. I wonder kung ano naman kayang naghihintay saakin sa mundong to'h.

Isang napaka gandang babae ang sumalubong saakin, Blond hair and her 'nagmamalditang' mga mata. Queenie and her alipores. She crossed her arms at naka taas pa ang isang kilay neto'h.

"Well, Well, Well if it isn't the human, Ano ulit pangalan mo? Krizella?" she said, nakita ko namang nakamasid sa likod ang triple idiot, no other than the barbie bitch, the clown, and the monkey. They were mouthing bitch towards my direction.

"Excuse me if you don't mind mauuna na ako'ng pumasok sainyo" wika ko at saka na sanang aalis nang hinarangan naman ako ni queenie at  ni red and brown haired sa likod niya.

"San ka pupunta, akala ko naman kung ano'ng ibig sabihin nila about daw sa bagong transferee. Eh tao lang naman pala eh" she said with a smirk on her face "Tell me bakit ka nandito? Eh tao ka lang naman, Wala nama'ng espesyal meron sayo. lampa" pagdidiin niya. I mentally rolled my eyes.

 Kabago-bago ko palang dito ayoko gumawa ng gulo baka maya-maya mag dalawang isip si seraphina na palayasin ako at itapon kung saang lupalop niya alam. 

"Oh? Matapang ka diba, Bat wala ka'ng masabi, Puro ka lang kasi salita duwag."wika ni barbie bitch. I glared at her and gave a heavy sigh bago muling nagsalita "What do you want?" Hindi naman sa duwag ako, ayoko lang talaga magsimula ng gulo dahil bago lang ako dito utang na loob.

Queenie let out a wide smirk "Simple lang naman eh"

Minasdan ko ang path na kinuha ko kanina habang patuloy akong lumalakad papunta sa gitna ng forest. Bakit ako napunta dito? Well, that's an easy question.

First, I was forced to come here. Yes, forced. Kung hindi lang kay Queenie, baka nandoon na ako sa kama nakahiga o kasama si Nia. Second, my damn ego. Ayaw kong marinig na sinasabihin akong duwag.

Paano ako napunta dito? Easy, I asked Sir Hiro. He was reconsidering my idea at first pero pinilit ko siya. He told me that this part of the forest is restricted, maraming iba't ibang creatures ang naglulurk dito. Some are harmless while others won't double think and attack you. It gave me a few goose bumps pero kailangan kong gawin toh. Its the only para iwasan ako ni Queenie and her freaking alipores.

Hindi ko na alam kung ilang oras na akong lumakad. I have to do is find a tree. If I remember correctly, it was called the "Oracle Tree". Parang fortune cookie daw iyon pero may 70% na probability na mangyari ito. After doing this, I have to spread golden ash around the tree(it was given to me by one of her alipores) and chant the words, Gigio, three times.

After god knows what, I finally found the tree. It was big, bigger than what I imagined. Curtain like vines fell down from its branches. Feeling its bark, I noticed that it was stronger. As the wind blew my hair, napansin ko ang mga silver na dahon na nahuhulog. It was the most beautiful tree that I have ever seen. Following the given instructions, I stood infront of it and chanted.

Gigio...

Gigio...

Gigi--

I felt the ground tremble. Nakita ko nalang ang pagguho ng lupa at isang napaka-laking halimaw ang bumungad sa akin mula doon. Malaki ito, masmalaki pa kesa sa mga puno dito. It had red eyes and his skin was covered with scales. He had fangs and sharp claws that could kill anyone in sight.
