21st Century Goddess

☑ Chapter 12: Reported

Zypher's POV

By standing a couple of meters away from the doors of the cafeteria, tinutukan ko ang malayong bahagi ng kakahuyan ng akademya. Despite the distance, I could see the place clearly due to my enhanced eyesight. I continued staring at it. I just think I saw something pass by earlier...

Ang paglabas ng kung sino sa pintuan ng cafeteria na nasa likod ko ang nakakuha ng atensyon ko. I saw my sister walking fast, as if in a hurry. I need to tell her about what I possibly saw.

Hahakbang na sana ako para sundan siya nang isang pigura mula sa cafeteria ang lumabas at sumunod sa kapatid ko. I looked at Prince Ed as he jogged his way to my sister.

I looked at them for a while, seeing how serious their convesation seemed like. Pinigilan ko ang sariling makinig sa kanila gamit ang iba ko pang mga kakayahan. I might be curious about them but I still respect my sister's privacy. She never mentioned anything about Prince Ed, at least not to me, kaya baka ayaw niyang malaman ko. But it's not like matatago niya ito sa akin o kina Ate. Kaya hahayaan ko siyang siya ang magsabi sa amin when she's ready.

I turned my eyes to the cafeteria. Sa kabila ng pagmamatiyag ko sa kakahuyan ay rinig ko ang inanunsyo ng kapatid ko sa loob kanina. And what I saw might be one of the reasons why she and the rest of the Council decided to apply those new rules immediately.

I know my sister. I know she wouldn't decide on things she didn't think thoroughly about. And this might be really dangerous. She wouldn't sound so bothered if it wasn't.

Maybe it has something to do with those people.

Sa isipin na iyon, muli kong tiningnan si Ate Gab at Prince Ed na nag-uusap pa rin. And from what I could see from my sister's face, their conversation is not exactly making her happy.

Lumakad nalang ako patungo sa cafeteria ulit. I will tell Ate Gab about what I saw later. Hahanapin na ako nina Jill kung magtatagal pa ako dito sa labas.

"Oh, sa'n ka galing? Akala ko ba madali ka lang. You missed the announcement." Agad na bungad sa akin ni Alex nang umupo ako sa harap niya. Sa kabila kasi ng pagtayo ng kapatid ko sa harap kanina ay lumabas ako. I just had to check what that thing I saw on the woods was.

I looked at the table and saw that they were halfway through their meals. Kinuha ko ang kutsara ko at nagsimulang kumain.

"Diyan lang." Was my curt reply. Nakatunghay pa rin si Alex sa akin, nakataas ang kilay, iniisip na may isusunod pa ako do'n, but I shrugged, sat down and sipped on the soup I ordered.

"10 PM is the new curfew time. At mukhang may binabantayan ang Council sa Southwoods ng academy," saad niya nang mapagtantong wala na akong balak na magsalita. I nodded at her.

Tumango rin siya sa akin. "Kaya huwag kang maglakad lakad na ikaw lang, Zy. Bago ka pa naman dito, baka mapa'no ka pa." Mia and Jill nodded in agreement to her, not with the same reasons though. Jill just wants to 'guard' me like how my sister told her to, which is a little ironic. Mukhang siya pa nga ang kailangan kong bantayan dito.

Naging tahimik ang pagkain namin matapos iyon. They all just finished their meals while I took my time. Kalaunan ay napag-usapan ng tatlo ang nangyari sa training kanina, to Jill's entertainment, kaya nagawa kong ilabas ang cellphone ko.

As much as I could just do telepathy with my sister, I think she's kind of pre-occupied with something else and I don't want to shock her with my voice speaking about possible dangers in her already filled mind.

Typing on my phone, I texted Ate Gab I'd be in her office after dinner at may sasabihin ako sa kaniyang importante. Nang matapos ako sa pagtipa at pag send ay agad akong bumalik sa pagkain.
