Midnight (ON-GOING)

Chapter 6

No one really knows why they are alive-
Until they know what they'd die for.

-Martin Luther King

Months passed and we all graduated from the courses we took for years. We're now freed from projects, presentation and thesis and to some stressful stuff happens on school.

This is where the real challenge will start for the life of new graduates. Finding a job to start earning and to save something for the future.

Pursuing the career path they chose and be strong enough to take new hindrances that will face on the way of what really life is.

I still have a contact with Jacky and the others, also with Cody. They got more busier than ever, since they were the heir of there family business.

While me, I spend time to practice everything. Start from physical strength, mental health and no ending different spells. Mrs. Malcolm also give me a hand to be stronger.

For a few months I can say we got a little bit closer. We treat each other like best friends. It happens that she's now living a normal life together with her husband and two children but they still have a contact on the pack were they belong.

She also had a lot of questions about my monther. Sadly she didn't know what happened to us, to my family. She cried really really hard and sorry for the time she wasn't there when my mother need a help.

She also blame herself for being useless friend. I said it's fine. Everything might be happened for a reason. She treat me like her own daughter and I can't deny that I'm really longing for a mother touch.

I always remind myself not to be attached too much. It's not because they will be an inhibitions to me. It's just I don't want them to be involved from the mess I am gonna make.

Right now I'm on my way to the hidden old City in Mildred. Alicia told me it was a place where legendary witch are living. She's also from here same as Mom. She only leave this place because of her mate, but shes still paying a visit as she say.

Lahat ng madaanan ko ay puro puno. Matatas na puno na masasabi kong ilang siglo ng nakatayo dito sa lugar. Like how it always happen, nature is the number one witness on everything happens on the world.

Kalahating araw na akong nagdadrive. Simula ng umalis ako sa bahay pasado ala sais ng gabi, hindi pa ako nakakarating sa destination ko.

Alas syete na ng umaga ng matanaw ko ang arko ng syudad. Katulad ng iba nakalagay sa arko ang pagbati sa pagbisita sa lugar. Pagka lampas ng kotse ko sa arko ay naramdaman ko ang barrier na bumabalot sa lugar. What do you expect from a great and legendary witches.

Alam ko na pagkapasok ko pa lang sa barrier ay alam na nila na mayroong trespasser, they can recognize if it's an ally or a foe. Alicia give me an bracelet for them to know that I didn't mean any harm.

Dalawang oras na ako nagda drive simula ng makalampas ako sa arko pero hanggang ngayon wala pa akong makitang bahay. Tama nga siya it's really hidden. Ng marating ko ang pinakadulo kung saan may roong isang malaki at matandang puno na nakatayo, masasabi kong narating ko ang tamang lugar. It has a gloomy and eerie vide on this place.

Lumapit ako sa puno and casted a spell that Alicia taught me. Nagsimulang umilaw ang puno, mula sa ugat hanggang sa buong katawan nito. Hanggang sa wala na akong makita maliban sa nakakasilaw na liwanag.

Nawala ito. At isang napakalaking gate ang bumungad saken. Hinanap ko ang pasukan at nakita sa gilid sa bandang kanan. Lumapit ako dun. At naabutan ko ang isang lalaki na nagbukas ng pinto para saken.
