I saw the unbearable shock on Melissa's face after hearing the witch.
"What do you mean curse? Ano ng gagawin ko dito sa bata, Annie? Ipalaglag?!" Natatarantang tugon ni Melissa.
"Iniisip mo palang na ipalaglag 'yan ay napatay na kita." Madiing sabi ni Deis.
"You're being a restraint on having seeds for some reason. What pack are you from?" Nakatitig si Annie kay Melissa habang ito ay nag-uumpisa ng pawisan.
"She can't remember anything, Annie, but she's half-witch and a werewolf." Sagot ni Dia.
A sudden mist starts to spread in the room forming like clouds and it's from Annie, the witch. I saw her eyes turning green while her face is forcefully facing the ceiling. The blood on her veins in the neck also turning in green. It smells awful!
"Annie, anong nangyayari?!" Sigaw ni Melissa.
"The prophecy begins when the curse breaks its law.
The shadow of the past lingers the future;
Beware who to trust,
The chosen one either brings destruction or peace.
Midnight falls, peace will be shared.
Midnight falls, your era will be ended.
Annihilation will be the key."
Pagkatapos sabihin yun ni Annie gamit ang isang hindi pamilyar na boses, nawala ang mala-ulap na pumapaligid sa kwarto. Umalingawngaw sa apat na sulok ng kwarto ang pag-irit ni Dia ng sabay na bumagsak sa sahig sina Annie at Melissa.
"My gosh! What's wrong with them? What are these fuzzy-wuzzy things? Prophecy, my ass! Girls, wake up!"
Dinaluhan na namin sila at marahang hiniga sa kani-kanilang silid na tutuluyan. I don't even know where to start after hearing the 'prophecy' thing. I admit, I don't believe in such things but having these witches exists, I think I might consider it.
"Deis," panimulang tawag ko sa kapatid ko na ngayon ay nakatayo sa may tabing bintana habang nakatingin sa labas. "Have any idea about the prophecy?" I asked.
He was just silent there, not even giving me any actions or words. Maybe he's in deep thoughts like me. Same as Dia, holding a book in front of her face upside down. This baggage is killing three birds in one stone.
"My question is still on a roll," I said calmly and take a sip of my coffee from 1919 Grand Coffee. Ugh, it soothes my nerves.
"We have to decode the prophecy. It is so simple to understand, yet the catastrophe it will bring means the annihilation of us three. I don't know if what they are saying 'the chosen one' is my child or something else. It's uncomfortable." said Deis.
"The uneasiness still lingers on my veins since that mist starts to begone. It feels like somethings missing. Something is off. I can't pinpoint what or who!" said Dia.
"Same goes to me, Dia. It's really off. I can't acknowledge it as coincident having you crossing paths with the witch," I intently look in my coffee. "Is someone's tailing you before, Dia?"
Napawi ang tingin ko sa kape ko at nagkasalubong na ang mga mata namin ni Dia. Her wavering eyes tell me it's a yes. I don't know but this is just a hunch. "Someone's planning on taking us down, siblings."
I caught Deis' attention and he finally faces us. "Using the prophecy."
"Please come out, Melissa," I said. "This problem is already a burden. Don't make me start getting suspicious of your actions. Stop eavesdropping and sit beside Dia."
I can no longer tolerate this issue in our family, especially when the "extinction" of our blood is their plan and they are using the prophecy to triumphantly achieve it. Some of the pieces of the puzzles are still missing.
"The first key is..."
"The witch." we simultaneously said.
"Anong gagawin niyo kay Annie?!" Natatarantang tanong ni Melissa.
"We have to kill her." I firmly answered. My words are heavier done anything and I'm sure Deis and Dia will agree.
In a split second, Melissa is unconscious and Deis is holding her in his arms. Dia's pointing fingers has a bit of blood in them. She injected it in her neck for her to sleep. Her blood techniques are quite rare.
"Brother, go get the witch. I know you have plans." I stood up in my seat calmly. "and thanks...for helping."
"Such a cutie," I reply. He just gave me a tch face.
As I climbed the stairs, the presence of the witch is getting stronger and I know she's waiting for me as if she knows what will happen to her next. After I reach the knob of the door and about to twist it, I heard her speak.
"I respect and will forever be grateful for helping me. I guess this is my role in your family. To die in your hands and it's an honor to serve you with great pleasure," she started and I totally opened the door.
I saw her standing in the middle of the room while the light of the moon radiates with great whitish color. Her smile is giving me a hint and after staring at her lips, I knew it.
She says, "Find the swan" without a voice and just uttering those words carefully.
She lifted her arms in front of me like she's yearning for death. "Take my eyes. I am number 2."
I made my two steps and after that, I'm holding her right eye in my left hand and her heart in my right hand. Blood keeps on gushing down the floor and her body is literally screaming a prayer.
"She who Number Two bless with honor. Annihilated by a pioneer."
