Destined To Be

Destination 22

Seven

I always wonder how powerful love is. It possesses both constructive and destructive powers. It can build, and at the same time, break us.

For many years, I feared the idea of it because of that night. From that night when I rejected the man of my love, my life had never been the same.

I let all the things that can remind me about love perish in an instant. I lived away from everyone. I discarded all the relationships that could ignite into something more. My heart became stone. And I thought that should be my life and I shouldn't ask for more.

But, I was wrong.

Seeing Axon in front me, lying peacefully like an angel on the bed of clouds, I suddenly wanted to ask for more.

I want to be selfish. I want him to be mine alone. I want to wake up every morning by his side and sleep every night on his arms. I want to visit wonderful places with him. I want us to restart and build a strong relationship for eternity.

But, now that I'm finally ready, it is already too late.

Nang unti-unti nang kumilos si Axon ay pinahiran ko kaagad ang luhang naglakbay sa aking pisngi nang hindi inaasahan.

"What happened to me?" tanong niya nang tuluyan na siyang nagising.

I smiled.

"Sabi ni Tanixus, ginamitan ka ni Katus ng isang salamangka na naging dahilan ng pagkawala ng iyong malay. Mabuti na lang at nakaya niya itong puksain," I informed him, making him turned serious.

"So...it's really him. Katus is alive," nangagalaiti niyang sambit kaya napatango na lang ako.

"Where are we? Ilang oras na akong walang malay?"

"We're at the Vampyria's main castle. And you're asleep for five days."

"FIVE DAYS?!!"

"Yes." And I was here for five days.

Bigla siyang napatayo at inayos ang kanyang sarili.

"There's no time for slacking off. Ang mga kalaban ay nagsisimula nang maghasik ng lagim."

"And you have to be there defending the land." I smiled bitterly.

Napatingin siya ng mariin sa akin. He examined me like a puzzle. I just remained still and unbothered.

"You...what's the matter? Is there something wrong?" naguguluhan niyang tanong.

I smiled weakly and finally got up.

"Kung meron mang mali, iyon ay dahil sa akin mismo. It was all my mistake, and I deserve its punishment."

"I can't follow. What are you talking about?" naguguluhan niyang tanong.

"Don't mind me. Masyado lang akong naguguluhan dahil sa biglaang pagbabago sa aking buhay."

He nodded, but he's not convinced.

"Let's head to King Axel, he'll be delighted to know that you're finally awake." Nauna na akong lumabas ng silid kaya napasunod na lang siya.

The whole place is guarded. The enemies can strike any moment, and we must be ready. Ilang araw na rin akong hindi pumupunta sa mortal na mundo dahil hindi ako pinahihintulotan ni Caldrix. He wants me to be near them. In fact, sa kanila ako tumutuloy ngayon.

Ang kaso tungkol sa chain murder ay ipinasa ko na kay Marcus. I filed an indefinite leave. Nasiguro na rin kasi ng mga Coal na napuksa na nila lahat ng nambubulabog na outcast vampires.
