Who I Really Am

31- Her Identity

Chapter 31.

Have you ever thought of being supernatural? If you would be given a chance, what powers do you want to have?

As for me, all I want is to be able to live a happy and a peaceful life. If great power comes with great responsibility, Then I don’t want to have any power at all. Maraming naghahangad ng labis na kapangyarihan sa mundo, pero ako na mayroon nito, sumpa naman ang dala. Because of me someone died, My parents died, someone whom I thought my friend, hates me.

Bakit ba humantong ang lahat sa ganito? Everything is piling up inside me. Wanted to burst everything out. Like a volcano ready to emit its lava.

I sighed, pinahid ko ang luha sa pisngi ko at sa namamaga kong mga mata. I was about to exit the video when a woman whom I think is in her mid- twenties, showed up.

September 5

“Hi, Jia.” Kilala niya ako?

“You know what, This is so weird… I am talking to someone from the future. But yeah, I know you’re watching this.”

“Did you like the protection I put in your gate? Nobody else can enter this house except you.” Siya pala ang may gawa ng house protection nitong bahay? She… whoever she is, she must be a great Praeditian.

“Oh, By the way… I’m Andvioux,Titled as the Legendary Technology genius. Your mom’s best friend.” I looked at her. She have this electric blue eyes and a few freckles on her face… she looks so beautiful.

“Your mother asked me for help. She knew all of this coming. Alam niyang mangyayari at mangyayari ‘to sa hinaharap. Your mother is a great future seer, Indeed. She saved so many normal people from serious harm, she did her responsibility as a Praeditian. And so is your father.”

“She want me to explain to you everything.” My heart skipped a beat because of nervousness. I think what I know right now is just too much to take.

“You are born with the forbidden ability. Hours after you were born, Your ability manifested. That’s why your mom’s mid-wife died. Isang napakalaking sumpa ang turing sa ability mo, Jiagen. And I know ganyan din ang tingin mo. Kaya gumawa ng paraan ang mga magulang mo para ma-conceal ang ability mo. That’s why… t-they stole Leritos’ seal from their base. And by the time they marked the seal to you, That makes you the new seal. Rumors spread that it is a group of Praeditian who stole it, but the truth is, It’s your parents.” 

Realization began to hit me hard.

k-kaya ba ako hinahabol ng Leritos?

“Leritos’ seal is a metal formed in their logo. It is magical because it can give a normal person an ability or it can conceal someone’s ability… Like yours. But I guess your ability is too powerful kaya parehas silang nagmanifest. Giving you four abilities.”

“But it have bigger downside to you. Your ability demands so much energy from you whenever you use it. Especially your original ability. Using your Pain and death ability as one. And, If you have to use your life ability… You have to give up your ability and your 50% life span. You can only do it once, so make sure to use it properly.”

“Nga pala, before I end this video… I want you to know that…” She paused and sigh.

“The p-person who killed your… p-parents is… Larry Oritos--  The founder of Leritos. Your mom said you will kill him the day they that they will… die. And… all of t-that will happen tomorrow. She asked me to put this inside you dresser and install a protection system a-around your house…” I can’t help but to cry with her while I’m watching.
