Chapter 5: House Alpha

SAMANTHA

"Seriously? She belongs here?" Mataray na tanong ni Isabelle. Her beautiful facial features are surrounded with her long black hair and bangs. She is also holding a lollipop. Ayan din ang katanungan sa aking isipan. Talaga nga bang dito ako sa pinakamataas na rank nababagay?

"Yes, Isabelle. Samantha also belongs to House Alpha. Dito siya nilagay ni Headmaster Winters," Professor Percy answered which made Isabelle roll her eyes.

"Welcome to the team then!" the short-haired jolly woman named Evangeline said. She pulled me by my arm and guided me to sit on their sofa. "You did amazing last night, ha? You are taking down a wendigo all by yourself. You must be so brave!"

"Or crazy," pagsabat naman ni Clifford habang hinahawi ang kaniyang buhok paalis sa kaniyang matang nasa likod ng makapal niyang salamin.

"But I must say that what she did with that wendigo was remarkable. Halatang may knowledge siya," Lucas said, looking so amused with a smirk painted across his lips.

"Let her rest," wika ng isang malamig na boses. Napatingin ako sa tabi ni Isabelle at doon ko na naman nakita si Louis. His cold black eyes are staring at me. Walang emosyon ang kaniyang mukha ngunit napakakisig nito.

"Come on. I'll bring you to your room," Evangeline said, pulling me while Clifford grabbed my bags and carried it.

"Tama 'yan. Kayo muna ang bahala kay Samantha. May mga aayusin pa akong mga papers," Professor said before leaving the house. I bowed and thanked him.

Sinundan ko 'yung dalawa sa second floor. Doon ko lang napansin na napakaganda ng bahay na 'to. The walls are painted with white and some accents of dark brown. It has a high ceiling at may malaking chandelier sa gitna. Mukhang mayaman nga talaga ang mga nakatira dito. Sinilip ko mula sa second floor sila Louis at Isabelle na naiwanan sa baba. Mukhang malalim ang kanilang pinag-uusapan.

"Here are our rooms!" Evangeline said nung makarating kami sa isang hallway sa second floor. Dumiresto kami sa pinakadulo ng hallway. May anim na dark brown na pinto ang magkatapatan. "This room is the only one left vacant, so this will be yours."

Pagkabukas ko ng pinto, isang malaking kwarto ang bumungad sa akin. There is a huge bed in the middle. Sa right side naman sa tapat ng bintana, may study table at sa gilid nun ay may malaking shelf na puno ng mga libro. May mga ilang halaman sa paso rin ang nakalagay sa kwartong ito. Sa left side naman ay may malalaking puting cabinet na nakadikit sa pader.

"You liked it?" Clifford asks as we walk inside. "You also have a personal comfort room here. No worries because pinalinis 'to ni Professor Percy before ka niya sunduin so everything is squeaky clean."

"This place is amazing. Napakaganda rito," I answered and sat on the bed. Napakalambot ng kamang ito at napakalinis pa.

"Well, we are glad you liked it. All of your uniforms, by the way, are nasa closet na. Also, we will have an assembly dinner at Grand Hall later by 6pm. Make sure na bumaba ka nang nakaayos by 5:30," Clifford said, sounding strict. "Sa ngayon, wala pa naman kaming ibibilin sa 'yo. Just rest here."
