The Soulless Queen (COMPLETED)

Soulless Chapter 48: Imperfect Reflection

Soulless Chapter 48:
Imperfect Reflection
~♛♚♛~

When a nightmares happen we just cry and shiver at night, but when the sun comes out we tend to forget and ignore it, because nightmares are just nightmares.

I stared at my face in my mirror and realised that i am now playing the character that the queen wanted me to be.

Isang babaeng gagawin ang lahat makuha lamang ang gusto, kahit na ang kahulugan noon ay ang pang habangbuhay na kalungkutan.

I look at my eyes and all i could see is a murderer, but i am really the one who killed him?

I am really the one who pushed him to jump into his limit.

When he showed up that day, i didn't know who he is.

And when he told me that he is my other half, i didn't believe in him.

Ngunit alam ko na may dahilan kung bakit ako naguguluhan at natatakot sa tuwing malapit siya, but i avoided all the signs because i already have Dylan.

Nasa tabi ko na ang init na kailangan ko ngunit kakaiba si luna. She always have her way to make me see the one i am avoiding to see.

Ang kwento ng babaeng sagrada, siya ang dahilan at natakot akong muli nang malamang maaaring mawala silang dalawa sa aking harapan.

I am a fighter, i know. But with the kind of heart that i have, i can't bear that kind of pain.

Kailangan kong bitawan ang isa sa kanila and i choose the king of safria.

I choose him for an exchange.

Si Lukas kapalit ng kaligtasan ni Athalia.

Alam kong hindi patas, ngunit sa mundong ito walang patas. Kung hindi ka magiging sakim sa pagkapanalo, magiging talunan ka at ang mga talunan walang puwang sa pyramid.

Isang katok lang ang nagsilbing ingay sa silid ko at mula sa repleksyon sa salamin ay nakita ko ang pagpasok ni Athalia.

I put a soft smile to my lips as i look at her annoyed face.

"Kailangan mo ba talagang takutin pa si Calixa para lang sa pagkain mo ng tanghalian?"

"It's a lunch date Athalia, at hindi ko tinakot si Calixa. Sinabi ko lang naman na posibleng umabot kay tiyo ang mga kalokohan mo kung hindi ka papayag. Nasaan ang pananakot roon?"

Mas lalong sumama ang mukha niya dahil sa sinabi ko, but that didn't bother me, not even a bit.

To see Athalia's annoyed face is like a rare diamond in a cave, and that rare item can be a trophy to keep.

And Athalia is a rare one i have.

She walked near where i am and stand behind me.

We just look at each through the reflection of my mirror at alam ko nang sa isang tingin pa lamang niya ay alam na niya ang ginagawa ko.

"Noong isang araw, hiniling mo kay ama na samahan kitang mamili ng mga damit sa bayan kahit na pareho nating alam na hindi mo naman ginagawa iyon, kahapon ay humingi ka ng pabor upang samahan kita sa mansion niyo dahil namimiss mo na si Violetta na alam ko ring hindi totoo at ngayon gusto mong magtanghalian kasama ako." A smirk form into her lips before she continue. "Eloisa we both know why you are doing this, yet, i am still trying to play along with it. Wanna know why?" I didn't move as i waited for her answer, hindi ko rin inalis ang ngiti ko habang nakatingin sa mukha ni Athalia.

"Because i want to make sure that lukas will be the first and the last man you'll sacrifice, dahil sa totoo lang nakakagalit ang ginawa mo at ang mga dahilang ibinibigay mo. Pakiramdam ko tuloy isa rin ako sa pumatay sa kaniya, but like what you said ikaw lang ang gumawa noon so i am just going to act like i am not giving any shit about it!" Eto ang ikalawang beses na nagtaas siya ng boses, ang una ay nang magluksa ang lahat nang nasa imperial para kay lukas. At ngayon ko lamang naramdaman ang masaktan dahil may galit sa akin ang isang nilalang, and to make the feeling worst is the fact that it is Athalia whose doing it.

If this is happen before ay tiyak na makakarating ito kay tiyo Valdemor, she would be punish for shouting at me, for disrespecting me as her older cousin.

But things change, and changes are needed for us to live.

"Why don't we move this luch tomorrow? Sa tingin ko kasi ay hindi maganda ang naging gising mo mahal kong pinsan. Sayang ang maayang tanghalian kung ganiyang nakasimangot na mukha lamang ang haharap sa akin." I made sure that my smile would be wider before i dismiss her. "Go back to sleep now Athalia, you badly needed it."

She puffed the air on her chest and i know that she's trying to calm herself. Itinago rin niya sa kaniyang bulsa ang dalawa niyang kamay at yumuko, waring mas makakatulong ang sahig na pakalmahin siya kaysa ang titigan ako.

"For once Eloisa, i thought Dylan change you to a better one, pero nagkamali ako." Nang mag-angat siya ng tingin ay nakita ko ang uri ng tingin na hindi ko dapat makuha. It is the look that says how failure i am. "Hindi kailanman mababago nang kahit na sino ang bagay na itinanim sa iyo ng Reyna. And even your heart can't change anything about it."

I know she didn't want it but i can feel how she push the blade to cut me, and it bleed.

Nawala ang ngiti ko kasabay ng pagtalikod niya and i can feel how disappointed she is over me.

"Oh and before i forgot Eloisa, the whole safria loathe you, for existing as their alpha's mate kaya hangga't maaari manatili ka lamang sa Harilia because we didn't know how they work as of this moment. Siguradong masasaktan ang iyong ina kapag nawala ang iniingatan niyang susunod na katulad niya"

Then after it, she close the door and i left again being in front of my mirror. 

She left me with her words that can cut me into pieces and what saddened me the most is the truth that everything she said is true. And i couldn't depend myself because even if she hears me she might won't understand me.

Because in her eyes i am Eloisa, the one that the Queen create.
