"Oh look Vira, nasa highest class ka" said my kuya Vincent
"So what? I don't even wanna be there, maleleft out lang ako" i reply to him
"Still, you should make friends" he adviced
"I'm just gonna focus on my lessons" i said while my arms are crossed
I heard a knock from outside my room, when i opened it i saw my other 4 brothers
"Ate!" Said my younger brother happily
"I heard you got in the highest class" kuya Leyard said
"Yeah congrats little witch" sabi ni kuya Vicenzo
"Congrats on getting on the highest class sis!" Said by my kuya Eric and handed me a gift
"A gift?" I ask and looked at him
"Just open it Vanessa" sabi naman ng kuya Leyard ko
"Jewelry?" I said confused
"Ate it's not just any jewelry, it's a ancestor's spirit!" Sabi naman ni Venzer
"What does that mean?" I ask them
"It's storytime!" Said by my kuya Vincent
"Alright everyone, sit properly" and we do as kuya Leyard says
"This bracelet, it has been passed down for the last 500 years"
"Woah!"
"Be quiet Venzer!"
"Ok ok jeez calm down kuya Eric"
"As i was saying, before it got all passed down to all of our ancestors ofcourse there is a founder. Her name is Lilith Devilanté, five hundred years ago our ancestors were royalties, they rule a village close to the a castle, she was the only daughter of the Heiress Hilea Devilanté, despite being a witch she was a very very nice one, which made every witch and wizards judge her, because they think that a witch should be bad,fearless and heartless."
"Oh! You mean the great Heiress Hilea Devilanté? The witch who sacrificed herself to save humans?" Venzer asks
"Yes Venzer" kuya Leyard responded
"Grandma once told me that Lilith was just roaming around a forest and suddenly hears a loud sound coming from the other village, which is where the human people stays. And when she came to check, she saw how many trees and houses were ruined, while taking a glimpse, someone caught her attention. Her mom is there, people were horrified of her. They think that Hilea did it, they think that she sent the fireballs at their village, fear got ahead of them and thought that it was Hilea because she was a witch. Soo while Hilea is infront protecting them, a man pulled out a sword and sneaks around her then stabs her."
"What kind of man is that? Why would he stab her when all she did was just protect them?" I ask
"Vanny because when Hilea was young she was known as a very evil and wicked witch, and all the villagers know that" kuya Vincezo replies
"But kuya, people can change." I said and looked down to my hand
"Those people didn't understand these kinds of words back then Vira. People believed that you shouldn't believe a witch's word soo they stick to that rule" kuya Leyard says
"Soo let's continue, Lilith saw how her mother got murdered. She cried and ran to her mother's body"
Year 1524
"Mother!" I cried as i ran to my mother's body
"A-another witch!" Screamed another man
"Kill her!" Cried the woman infront
"Get away!" I scream
"Kill her George!" Screams the woman
"try to lay a finger on us and your all dead!" I threaten them but they didn't listen to me.
"Her power got out of control and killed the whole village"
"Kids! It's time to get ready!" Sabi ni mom from downstairs
"Already?" Reklamo ni Venzer
"Tara na, lola and lolo might be waiting for us" sabi ni kuya Vicenzo

At The Reunion
"Vanny!"
"Venus!"
"I missed you soo much!" Sabi ng favorite cousin ko na si Venus and she hugged me
"Me too!" I reply and hugged her back
"Hey Vicenzo~" sabi ng isang babae sa likod
I knew who it is already just from the voice
"Vicky can you stop?" Sabi ni Venus with an irritated tone
"Venus can you shut up too?" She said and snickered
"Vicky"
"What?- oh- hi Eric" she said while her tone is getting more flirty
"You have a lot of money right? Can you atleast buy a new attitude? Your always like this every family gathering." Sabi ni kuya Eric
"Sheesh"
"Shut up little brat" sabi ni Vicky kay Venzer
"Don't call my brother a brat you stupid ugly ass barbie plastic doll" i said getting more pissed at the moment
"Oof" sabi ni Venus at pinipigilan ang tawa
"Now get lost Vicky" sabi naman ni kuya Leyard
I was talking with Venus when a woman approached me.
"Tita Margarette!" I said and hugged her
"Oh my! Elvira your soo big big na!" Sabi naman ni tita and smile while scanning me all over
Then another woman approached
"Is that the ancestor's spirit?" She asked and held my hand tightly
"Excuse me? Can you please let go?" I ask while trying to pull my arm
"Lucita let go" sabi ni tita Margarette
"She will be the next Heiress?!" The woman screamed and all the people's attention went to us
"Lucita stop that"
"She's weak! She's too weak to be Heiress!"
Suddenly my mind went blank.
I knew this day would come. But why would it be soo soon?
"Vanny?"
"Vira"
"Vanessa Elvira!"
"What?" I ask
"Are you alright? Did you just space out right now?" Kuya Leyard asks
"Kuya where's mommy and daddy?" Tanong ko sakanya
"Nandun sa table nila lolo and lola" he responded
"Ok thanks!" I said and walked towards mom and dad
At The Table
"Mommy! Daddy!" I said and they turned back to me
"Yes baby?" My dad asks
"Can i talk to you guys?" I ask
"Sure baby, but can you atleast greet you grandparents first?" My mom says
"Ay sorry po! Mano po lola, mano po lolo" i said and bless to them
"Anlaki na ng Vanny namin" sabi ni lola while smiling
"Opo" i said and smiled back
"Ma,pa we'll be back" sabi ni mommy and we went to a private area
