Reformation of The Abandoned Princess

Ch-8

-Chapter 8-

Ng marating ko ang lokasyon

Ay halos mapasigaw ako sa gulat

Mabuti nalang at agad kong tinakpan ang bibig ko

I took a deep breath, calming myself.

My heart is currently beating faster. It was an expected response.

Since, this is the first time I've seen a real monster.

And a two-heads red boar monster at that.

Na pareho ng laki ng isang normal na Bear.

I gulped.

Ng maramdaman kong kumalma na ang dibdib ko ay mabilis na akong pumwesto sa isang sanga ng malaking puno.

Mula dito ay kitang kita ko ang boar na may kinakagat na sa wari ko ay isang maliit na monster rin.

My eyes hardened.

Then using the fire attribute, I materialize a fire bow and arrow.

Back in my high school years, I was called a prodigy specialized in Archery.

This is the only weapon I am confident I can used to survive in this kind of world.

Sinimulan ko ng i-focus ang arrow tungo sa direksiyon ng pulang boar na may dalawang ulo.

3...

2....

1....

After the counting. I hastily released the fire arrow and it hit the boar's first head, agad na nagliyab ang ulo nitong natamaan

"KREEEEEE! KREEEEEK"

namimilipit sa sakit na sigaw ng boar.

Hindi na ako naghintay pa ng pagkakataon. As i quickly aim the other head of the boar.

"KKKREEEE! KREEEK! KRE......E...."

Pinanood kong hinay hinay na nasunog ang dalawang ulo ng boar, hanggang sa kumalat ito sa buo niyang katawan.

Ilang saglit ay napatay na yung apoy. Mariin ko namang tinitigan ang sunog na sunog na katawan ng two heads red boar na nakahandusay sa lupa.

Ng masiguradong patay na nga ay tumaon na ako pababa at lumapit sa bangkay nito.

Nasa gitna ito ngayun ng daan kaya kailangan kong ilipat ang bangkay nito sa lugar kung saan hindi maaabala ang mga susunod na dadaan.

"...and that's how i killed the monster!"

nakangiti kong sabi.

Kumikislap kislap namang tumingala sa akin si Joseph.

Kinuwento ko kasi sa kanya ang mga nangyari at kung paano ko natalo ang monster dahil sa kakapilit niya

"Woah! You're so cool Ate Kaley! So cool!"

"Ha. I know right!"

nakangisi kong sabi.

Tumatango tango naman si Joseph.

Napatitig na lang ako kay joseph at malalim na napaisip.

If Joseph gets really too attached to me.. It might be bad dahil the path I already decided to choose will be a bloody one.

Getting involved with me... will put Joseph and Nevel in a harm way...

I need to settles everything here before the danger of the future unfolds.

I frowned deeply.

"Joseph.."

"Yes, Ate Kaley?"

"I'm strong.. you now know that right?"

"Hmph! Of course!"

"I'll be the one to protect you not the other way around.."

"P-pero--!"

"I know.. Nevel asked you to protect me.. And for me it sounds so ridiculous... Kahit na galing ka pa sa Cat Tribe or may kapangyarihan ka pa na katulad ng isang diyos... You're still a kid.. I am an adult. It's my responsiblity to protect you... so promised me not to do anything reckless!.. If you see me in the verge of death and was fighting a strong opponent... please run away... run as far as away from me... that way you could survive.... that way.. no one will hurt you... Then I can be at ease too..or you could say that you don't know me... Can you promise me this things?"

seryoso kong tanong.

Natahimik naman si Joseph at nanatiling nakatitig sa akin. His tears are starting to falls out..

"....N-No..."

"...."

"I can't do that! Uwaaahhh"

Agad akong nagpanic ng magsimula ng umiyak ng malakas si Joseph. I sweat dropped and immediately embraced him.

Maybe it's still too early for him to hear those words but... It needs to be said now or else i'll regret it.

I'm sorry joseph..

"Uwaahh sister is kind! sister didn't hate and bully us uwaahh... sister like us!.. and we love sister too... So please don't say things! I'll never abandoned you sister kaley!!"

.......

Natigilan ako ng marinig ko ang mga sinabi ni Joseph.

I can't help but cry too... but in silent..

I don't want Joseph to see me cry kaya niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit.

After he utter those words.. I realized something...

Hindi dahil sa natatakot ako na baka mapahamak sila....

Its the fact.. that I am afraid to be abandoned.

Is that why sometimes i think of cutting my ties with them...

Joseph and Nevel are too good for me...

I'm sorry Joseph...

I'm really happy to hear it...

just...

Please don't abandon me..

And I'll do my best to protect you and Nevel with my life on the line.
