Royal Trie

Prologue

WHAT. THE. HECK.

THE Blonde Haired Girl froze in halt after seeing the familliar mens in the black and red suit, all around the campus. "Damn, anong ginagawa ng mga to dito? Did they already...?" A ridiculous thought crossed through her mind, making her eyes widen in fear she never thought she would feel.

Imposible! Paano nila nalaman? No one knows! I swear wala akong pinagsabihan-..wait sh*t! Did someone saw me that night?

Pero kung meron nga, how did that someone know that i ended up here? And why only now then?

I played off cool, trying not to look panic on the outside. Or maybe may business sila dito? Possible, but to be honest i don't know why i'm panicking over this. They can do whatever they want but i'll do anything to escape from them. I won't be sucked up to their darkness anymore, i've had enough of it. I despise it, The fact that i'm one of them? Makes my blood boil.

I gritted my teeth when such dark memories came flooding through my mind, it was happy memories i had grown to forget but it keeps haunting me. I thought it would last forever, But it didn't, it broke me. It made me quite..numb. But i don't kung pasasalamatan ko ba yun dahil i became stronger than the person i was before.

I shrugged out of my thoughts before darkness blinds me again. I got to my locker and put the books inside, acting like a normal student. Hoping i wouldn't look familliar to my family's guards nor suspicious if that made sense. Hoping i wouldn't get recognized, pero muntikan ko ng mahulog yung librong hawak ko nung makita ko sa gilid ng mata ko ang isa sa mga naka-suit na black and red, palapit sa aking pwesto. Biglang nanlamig ang mga kamay ko habang sinasarado ko ang pinto ng locker.

Paalis na sana ako ng biglang humarang siya, i sighed and acted normally, not minding the sound of my heartbeat getting faster than ever.

I cleared my throat bago ako magsalita, "Yes?" I asked, He squinted his eyes on me before talking. "May i know your full name miss? And How long have you been studying here on this school?" He asked, eyes full of curiosity and..what? Suspicion? What the..? Is he getting suspicious of me? Already?!

"And May i know why are you asking these such questions?" I glared at him, eyes piercing to his soul, Fierce as fire. He flinched, and step back a bit. Surprised at the attitude i gave him. "I apologize, as you can see we are here getting some informations about you students here." He said.

What are these? Wala namang announcement ang school na may ganitong mangyayari ah? Ano na namang pakana nila?

"Why is that?" I asked, curiosity filling in.
Does my family have something to do with it? I mean, what sort of business are they up to this time? What do they gain from these? Kung Ano man yun, is it connected on finding me? If it is, bakit ngayon lang?

Not that my intention we're to be find by them.
I scoffed at that thought. "Apologies Miss, we are not allowed to say the reason. Now, answer the questions given to you"
He said, making me irritated.

May sasabihin na sana ako nang biglang may tumawag sa'kin, "Hey Lia! Saan ka ba naglululusot? Pinapatawag ka ni Ms.Ramirez sa office niya, tara na!" Saved by the bell! Not an actual bell, what i mean is yung friend ko.

She dragged me with her, hindi na binigyan pansin yung lalaking kausap ko kanina. "Thanks" i mumbled. "No prob, Anyways let's go na sa classroom naten, class will start soon." She said confused but still put her charming smile in her face.

"Eh? I thought Sa office ni Ms.Ramirez?" I asked confused. "Ah that was nothing, i did that to saved you back there. You okay? I saw you kanina with that guy, and it looks like that guy was troubling you, So yeah, You should have told me for backup if kailangan mo Lia."She scrunched her eyebrows while looking at me, acting like a 'mom' of mine.

I chuckled, "Anyways, let's go na sa classroom naten, class will start soon" Sabi niya, while gazing around the campus, i glanced around too. Noticing the uncountable mens with the same suit i had encountered earlier. "How long are those gonna hang in here?" Celestine said, still looking at them.
I shrugged, hoping they would leave soon out of my vision and this school.

"What? Sabi mo pa-start na ng klase? Then bakit wala pang mga students here?!" Gulat kong reklamo sa kaniya. Paano ba naman kase, pagkadating namin sa classroom, walang tao! Wala ni miski isa! "Better be early than late hun" she winked at me, while sitting at her assigned seat beside mine.

Resulting of me glaring at her, "Fine fine, Chill lang" She said. I just sighed and waited the class to start. Fifteen Minutes have passed, students finally started to fill in the almost empty room. Then, the bell ranged, A sign that class is about to start.

. . .

Class ended, Pauwi na kami nang dumaan muna kami sa locker area to get some stuffs.
Nag-CR muna si Celestine saglit, habang kinukuha ko ang mga gamit na kakailanganin ko sa locker ko. But what i saw when i opened the door of my locker almost shooked my whole existence.

A Royal Red Envelope, with a name on the back. Encrypted on a gold font, 'To: Miss Zealine Agatha Alcantara'

There was no name kung kanino galing yun. But they didn't need to write it, Zea already knew kung kanino galing yun. Based from the design logo on the envelope. A Crescent Moon with Flowers fill with thorns wrapped around the lower part 'till the half.

Which made her eyes widen, sending shivers down to her spine. Her eyes shifted frankly side to side, and to her back and all around her. Hoping to find the culprit who left the letter there, but she didn't. How did they know? Since when?. And most importantly, What do they want from me? These thoughts screaming through her mind right now.

I face palm , I thought i already escaped you guys too, damn. She's already stressed about her family finding where she is and now them?

And Yes, My real name is Zealine Agatha Alcantara. No one knows that actually, And I don't want it to get leaked either. Not that i'm a wanted criminal or so, Just maybe missing from a known family. But i didn't say i'm not a bad guy either. Maybe I was, but that's all down the past.
