The Girl Who Caught Lightning

I

School wasn't that bad. My first week was okay. Ellie helped me catch up kasi 2nd sem na pala ng school year, mabuti nga at nakasunod naman ako.

Wala akong naging ibang kaibigan. Ang mga kilala ko lang ay ang mga kasama ko sa bahay.

No one even bothered to talk to me. Though palagi kong naririnig ang mga kanilang bulong-bulongan na anong meron daw sa akin na nakasama ko silang apat sa bahay.

What ignorant creatures. Hind naman kasi nila alam ang totoo.

Well I also knew more about the people who I'm with at the house.

Jake is a werewolf and is soon to be an Alpha on this really powerful pack.

Noah is a vampire, his family is also a powerful vampire clan.

Elliot is a wizard. Her father is the greatest wizard of the realm.

Then Zeus. He has powers, he can control the weather. Especially thunder and lightning. His family is the most respected and also powerful clan.

No wonder I got to be a part of their group, my mother is the High Priestess and my father is the Chief Warden.

But they don't know about that though, only that my father was a great alumni here because he helped build the force field surrounding this school.

It's already been a month since I came here and false rumors have been circulating around the school.

Ellie had to tell me to ignore them at hindi magpa-apekto. Hindi naman ako affected. I just let them be and wonder.

I really don't get why my father chose this place rather than sending me to another place very far from our home.

He just said that I won't be hard to find if I'm here. He even casted a spell to conceal my true being para hindi ako madaling matrack ng mga Javier.

I entered my 4th class for today at nakatulala lang ako dito sa upuan ko habang hinihintay ang instructor dito hanggang sa isang silver haired guy caught my attention.

Everyone was noisy a while ago until he entered the room making everyone silent.

Magkaklase pala kami sa subject na ito? Ngayon ko lang siya nakitang pumasok sa klaseng ito.

My eyes were locked to him at nagkatinginan kaming dalawa then he sat beside me, our elbows suddenly touched.

I tried my best to be calm with all these visions coming fast kaya napahawak ako sa libro ko. Nagsimulang sumakit ang aking ulo so I tried my best to calm it down.

Ang daming napagdaanan niya, I can't keep up.

Nahihilo na ako kaya yumuko ako para pakalmahin ang sarili.

I tried to stop it pero hindi ko na kinaya kaya napasabog ang mga bintana,

OH MY.

Then the visions stopped, my head started to ache muntik nga akong matumba dito sa kinauupuan ko.

Napatingin ako sa paligid. Everyone started screaming then Zeus caught my eyes.

"Are you okay?" he worriedly asked.

I ignored him at dali-dali akong tumayo, siya rin.

"Are you hurt?" he asks again and held my elbows pero binawi ko ito.

Hindi pa rin ako sumagot kundi patuloy akong lumabas doon sa room.

Maraming nasugatan sa mga basag ng bintana kaya ang mga medic at taga clinic ay dali-daling nagsipuntahan dito.

Everyone was panicking.

"Everybody, calm down. Medic is on their way!" sigaw nung isang instructor.

I bit my lip, pagkalabas ko ay maraming mga estudyanteng nakikiusyoso kaya nahirapan akong lumabas pero nagpatuloy lang ako sa paglalakad. I don't know where these feet are taking me basta I wanna get out of here.

I stopped my tacks kasi hilong-hilong na talaga ako, my head is hurting bad. Ugh. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko at napahilig sa pader.

Then the next thing I knew. I woke up in my bed. Back at the house, in my room.

My eyes roamed then stopped at the guy looking outside of my window.

Sinubukan kong tumayo kaya napabaling sa akin si Zeus.

Lumapit siya sa akin at tinulungan akong maupo, umupo rin siya sa harapan ko sa tabi.

"How are you feeling?" tanong niya sa akin at hinipo ang aking noo.

I just stared at him and bit my lip.

"Look, I know it was you who did it." Aniya dahilan para mapaatras ako.

"Cause no one else could do something that strong at nahilo ka pa." he explained.

"But don't worry. I took care of it." He continued.

What? He took care of it? Napakunot ang aking noo.

"What happened back there Alison?" tanong niya.

Hindi ako sumagot at yumuko lang.

"I know you're not like us. I sensed it the first time I saw you." Aniya.

I bit my lip and started to feel nervous.

"You're something else." He says and placed a hair behind my ear.

Hindi pa rin ako sumagot, takot ako.

Takot akong malaman niya at nila kung ano talaga ako.

Our kind has been extinct after the first war of the creatures. Noong nagka-alitan ang mga tao at bampira.

I can sense the sincerity in him. He's very concern and worried. I can read that he has good intentions but still I'm not ready to tell him.

"Look, you can take your time. You need to rest up." He gives up.

I watched him leave the room after he closes the door ay napabuntong hinga ako parang hindi ako huminga nung nandito siya.

I know I will have to tell them eventually pero right now hindi ko alam kung magtatagal ba ako dito o hindi.

I will tell them soon. If hindi talaga ako matuntun ng mga Javier.

I can't believe nangyari iyon. Ugh.
