The Prophecies Revert

Chapter 17

What if everything you are going through is preparing you for what your future holds? That no matter how you try to escape, you can't run away from it. Will you just wait for your fears to subside or face it unprepared with different consequences?

"Before reaching the Ivoire, we have to cross the haunted forest and the poisonous lake," Eurisse kept on telling me the details about that place.

Poor Eury. Alam ko na ang mga bagay na 'yon. Maliban na lang sa mga katangian ng mga nilalang na nakatira ro'n. Hindi nga lang ako nakikinig ng maigi sa kanya dahil nasa paligid ang atensyon ko. Pinagmamasdan kung sakaling may panganib na paparating but then I realized that vampire's instincts are way better than humans. Mas mauuna pa nilang malaman 'yon bago ako.

"Let us rest here for a while. Nananakit na ang paa ko," said master Xian.

"Mabuti pa nga dahil ilang oras na tayong naglalakad. Kasama rin natin si Mali at mabilis siyang mapagod," Kuya Seven seconded.

Why do I felt like he just agreed because its the best for me? I sighed.

Mabilis na naglakad si Mavis papunta sa malaking puno, ilang metro ang layo mula sa'min. I just find Master Jyron standing and turning his back on us, probably observing the surroundings. Hindi naman na siya nagulat nang tinabihan siya ni Mavis at mukhang may pinag-usapan pa sila. Wait... Bakit ko ba sila binabantayan?

Eurisse tilted his head to block my sight and then turned around to see what I'm looking."Oh! They have been close ever since so be used to it. Hindi lang siguro halata kase masyadong seryoso si Jyron sa lahat at ibang kilos ang pinapakita ni Mavis sa iba."

"Eury... Can we talk?" Kuya Seven interfered that's why she excused herself for a minute.

Naiwan ako kina Lixe at Heaven na nakaupo sa ugat ng malalaking puno. I wandered my eyes around and noticed Master Xian sitting above the big branch of the tree, closing his eyes. Meanwhile, Master Aiko was nowhere to be found.

"Naiinggit talaga ako palagi kapag nakikita kong ganyan silang dalawa. Lakas talaga ng chemistry kapag galing sa royal blood." Kitang kita ko 'yong inggit sa mga mata ni Heaven habang nakatingin kina Kuya Seven at Eury.

My brows furrowed and looked at their direction."Why? What's with them? Ganyan ba talaga sila ka-close noon pa?"

"Anong close? They're in a relationship. Hindi nila sinabi sa'yo?" Lixe dramatically held her chest, acting shocked.

That was supposed to be my reaction! My lips parted and blinked twice, still processing what she had said. This... isn't a joke right? But it doesn't sound like a joke.

Meine Güte!

How come hindi nila sinabi sa'kin? We were together since yesterday but she never told me about their relationship. Sa lahat nang sasabihin ni Eury sa'kin, that important information wasn't included.

"The rest is over. We need to move so we could find a place to stay tonight." Mavis didn't wait for their answer and started walking.

Hinintay kong balikan ako ni Eury para sabay kaming maglakad pero I was wrong. She's with Kuya Seven and they're walking as if there's no 'Nia' waiting for her. Aish. I'm getting jealous na.

Silence surrounded us and it's kinda making me feel unusual. Hindi ko alam kung ako lang pero 'yong nararamdaman ko sa Academy na parang may nakatingin sa'kin, ramdam ko ulit ngayon. I just pretended not knowing anything so that they won't be bothered about it. Baka nga mas nakakaramdam pa sila kaysa sa'kin kaya hindi na siguro ako dapat mag-alala. I don't like bothering everyone even if that's what I've been doing the whole time. Gustuhin ko man o hindi, nadadamay at nadadamay sila sa'kin.
