My Impostor Twin Sister

Chapter 5: Pacifica, the Assassin

Or wala lang siguro akong alam sa mga royalties. In the past wala naman talaga akong pake sakanila, I don't have any information from them.

So milking up information won't do anything at the moment. I should focus on helping this village nalang, but it's weird. Ba't ang dali nina Luca at Stellarys makapunta sa tuktok? When they're just common but with high intelligence.

Baka may connection sila? I wonder...? Nagshrug nalang ako at pumunta na sa isang mini restaurant, they have the best food here too.

"Oh Princess Solaria! I- I didn't expect you to visit us" napalingon naman ako sa isang matandang lalake na nasa edad 40ish.

"Magandang umaga, Mang Panchal." Nakangiting bati ko sakanya. He is one of the workers sa construction at mining namin, his family works under us.

"Maupo ka muna, princess." Mahinhin na request niya saakin at sumunod naman ako. "Ipaghahanda lang po kita ng makakain."

I love eating her with my grandmother. His family is loyal sa pamilya ko and they have been loyal since years now. Kaso nawala ang loyalty nila ng may nangyari sa mining at construction namin.

He was one of the workers who died kasama ang ibang relatives niya at mga pamangkin niya. halos naubos sila doon because it was schedule for working, well except for one.

"Papa, andito na ako." napalingon kami sa dumating, it was his one and only daughter. "Hello Princess."

Ngumiti naman ako at kumaway sakanya, Pacifica Vaughn. Isa sa namumuno sa village na ito, she has short black hair, cold purple eyes and all I can say is she's beautiful. She's around my age and she respects me so much.

Pero nung nangyari ang incident/accident ay nagbago ang paningin niya saakin. Like she's blaming me for her family's death, she despises me like Luca looks at me too.

Kaya I will do everything to prevent the accident at tulungan silang pumunta sa tuktok, kasama si Stellarys, Pacifica at Luca...

I think galing si Pacifica sa kagubatan para mag-hunt ng makakain at mailuto sa mini restaurant nila. She's full of blood and deer furs.

"Grabe ka naman Paz! Bakit moko iniwan don? Diba sabi ko magbabasa lang ako?" inis na reklamo ni Stellarys na nakasunod sakanya. "O-oh good morning Princess."

Stellarys Redmond, one of the rulers here too. May pink siyang buhok at palagi itong naka braid. She has emerald eyes too, maganda rin siya tulad ni Pacifica lalo na't inaayusan. Well, I did saw her in my 20's.

She's good looking and she's a great defendant. Hindi ko na nakita sina Pacifica at Luca nung edad ko na iyon dahil parang may galit sila saakin, or sa pamilya ko.

I wonder what really did happen...? Nagpakita naman si Stellarys saakin non at tinulungan niya rin akong makatakas sa ambush, did they feel pity? Maybe...

Pacifica and Stellarys are good friends. Pacifica is good at killing and she's declared as a killing machine. Si Stellarys naman ay isang judge or lawyer, she's smart and she's good at analyzing problems.

"Hello, good morning din sainyo." Masayang bati ko sakanila, I wasn't really this active at greeting. But I wanted them in order to crush my sister... Para naman silang nagulat ng narinig nila ang bati ko.

"Heto na ang makakain mo Princess, sana magustuhan mo." Ngumiti naman ako at masayang kumain, I saw Pacifica and Stellarys talking in my peripheral vision.

I actually feel guilty sa mga nangyayari noon, lalo na sa aksidente. And I think it's good to blame me kasi hindi ko inaalagaan ang business problems ng maayos.

But I'm sure my sister ay isa sa mga pakana non, I may not have the evidence pero she's the start of it all. At hindi ko rin hahayaan na mangyari ulit iyon...

In order to prevent want happened in the future, I have to become something I'm not. Noon kasi ay palagi nalang inaabuso ang kabaitan ko, everything I did was for the family. lahat ng iyon ay para sa pinakamamahal kong kapatid.

Solana may have trampled me pero hindi na ngayon, I have to be someone that she never expected. Someone called a 'monster'. Hindi ko naman kasalanan kung bakit ako naging ganito...

My sister created a monster, she created me. I will crush her down till she gets crazy and I will torture her till she dies. Ipapatikim ko lang naman sakanya ang karanasan na pinagdadaanan ko noon.

"Uhmmm, Princess? Is the food...bad?" bumalik naman ako sa katinuan ng tinanong iyon ni Stellarys, hindi ko namalayan na tinusok tusok ko ng paulit ulit ang pagkain ko.

She looks young... like me. Magka-edad lang din ata kami. "Ah- hindi, pasensya na. may iniisip lang ako, the food taste great as always."

Hindi din kami masyadong close ni Stellarys but she always talk to me whenever she get the chance. Napatitig naman ako sa libro na hawak niya, it was torn pero pwede pa mabasa. I think I remember reading-

"Is that 'Not even Bones'?" tanong ko, I remember that book, iyan palagi ang binabasa ko nung palagi akong nagkulong sa kwarto ko.

"P-princess- nabasa mo din ba ito?!" hindi niya mapigilang hindi ma-excite. Well, konti lang naman ang nagbabasa ng mga libro dito. not even nobles nor royalties want to read books.

I read books because they are enjoyable, hindi ko inexpect na mahilig si Stellarys sa ganitong libro. The genre is mystery/thriller and action.

"Oo naman, may book 2 at 3 nga iyan eh." Lumiwanag naman ang mukha niya ng narinig niya iyon.

"R-really?! Wow-"

"Do you want to borrow them?" this is the first step to get close to them, magkaparehas naman kami ng interes pero I didn't get the chance to do that before.

I didn't get to read many books sa nakaraang buhay ko dahil puro nalang trabaho, I also wanted to learn self defense which is Pacifica's interest.

Gusto ko din matutunan ang mahika... pero gaya ng sinabi ko, hindi ko magawang gawin lahat ng iyon noon. But now, I have so much time in the world.

"Talaga po? L-like are you serious, Princess?" Stellarys personality is yung happy go lucky type, just as I remember her personality noon bago pa ang aksidente.

Pero nagbago din iyon nung nangyari na ang insidente, she became cold and more matured than ever. I'm sure nagbago din ang personality nina Luca at Pacifica.

So I wonder sino ang dahilan sa pagbabago ng kanilang personality? "Oo naman, wala din kasi ako masyadong kakilala na mahilig magbasa."

"OH MY~ thankyou po, Princess!"

"No need for calling me Princess, just call me Sol." Sabi ko naman, ngumiti naman siya at tumango.

"Then you can also call me Stella, Pr- este Sol. But I do prefer calling you princess instead." I never have this kind of feeling before, I always wanted a friend that I can rely on.

I know I said na hindi ako magta-trust kahit kanino, but this people are a different case... having some friend feels nice than a family who betrays you.
