Beyond Mortals : Guardians [ON HOLD]

Chapter 23

CHAPTER 23

Third Person's P.O.V.

Halos sabay-sabay na lumingon sa pinto ng kusina ang mga elites.

There, standing a girl with a black and white hair, tantalizing navy blue eyes. Her hair is pure white with black highlights.

She screams so much power that makes the elites who's looking at her shiver.

She had this bone chilling aura.

Kilalang kilala ni Ashley ang babaeng ito. Tatakbo na sana siya para yakapin ang babae pero naunahan siya ng iba.

Trevor was like flash when he went in front of the girl and hug her.

"God! Ereese!" Tumakbo si Lia patungo kay Ereese. Binaklas nito ang yakap ni Trevor at siya naman ang yumakap.

Sumimangot naman si Trevor dahil don.

"Sheez! Three days, Ereese! Where have you been?!" It was Kyler's voice, scolding Ereese.

"Ahmm.." Napakamot ng batok si Ereese, "... somewhere.."

"Somewhere? Where? And why.." Hinagod ng tingin ni Nathan si Ereese. "You look, ahm.."

"She look what?!" Asik ni Trevor dito.

"I went somewhere to look for myself." Sagot ni Ereese, hindi pinansin ang dalawa.

"Yourself?" Naguguluhang tanong ni Serene.

"Yeah. And I found it." Sagot ni Ereese na bahagyang nakangiti.

"Ereese!" Ashley shrieked. "You made it!" Niyakap nito ang kaibigan.

Yumakap pabalik si Ereese. "Yeah.. I did.."

Kumawala sa pagkakayakap si Ash. "So, does this means, hindi kana aalis ng Netherworld?"

"Nah." Iniwan ni Ereese ang mga kasama at pumasok sa loob ng kusina. Binuksan nito ang ref at kumuha ng isang chocolate drink. Umupo muna ito sa stool doon bago nagsalita ulit. "Bakit naman ako aalis? This is the only world that accepts me. Then, why leave it?"

"Good." Ash said while grinning. "If that's the case, you'll still be joining us in the Annual Knighthood Contest!"

"Oh sheez!" Ereese breath heavily. "I already forgot about that."

"Could you please mind telling us, where did you go in that three days?" Umupo si Trevor sa tabi nito at matiim itong tiningnan.

Sinang-ayunan naman ito ng iba pang elites at nagkanya-kanyang upo sa stool.

"It's nothing important, ang mahalaga nandito na ako." Anito saka uminom ng chocolate drink. Ayaw nitong pag-usapan ang pagkawala niya ng tatlong araw. Isa na ring dahilan kung bakit ayaw niyang sabihin ay dahil ayaw niyang malaman ng mga ito na isa siyang guardian. Hindi niya alam ang magiging reaksyon ng mga ito. Ayaw muna niyang ipaalam.

She still want to keep it as a secret.

"It is, Ereese. It matters." Madiing sambit ni Trevor na ikinalingon niya dito. "Tell us what happened."

Umiling siya. "It's nothing serious--"

"Ereese." May babalang sambit ni Trevor. "If you don't talk, I'll do what I did to you up in the tree, again. Right in front of them, and I'm not joking." Seryosong ani ni Trevor.

Nag-iwas ito ng tingin sa binata. Sheez! Kailangan pa bang ipaalala ito?!

Ang mga kasama naman nito ay pabalik-balik ang tingin sa kanilang dalawa ni Trevor.
