- CHAPTER XVII: Cursed -
(Nicolette's POV)

"Then, go and save your mother."

"Wth?!" naibulalas ng bruha pero agad na napamura nung inatake ni Zeal, "Wag kang excited dyan, HIVE!! Magtutuos tayo mamaya, Nicolette." and she attacked them both.

Hinayaan ko nalang sya tsaka ko hinarap ang bata, "Go. Ate won't let anything happen to you." ako with a smile

"Sige po!" and she walked slowly towards the puzzled guy holding Miyu's mother.

Miyu was halfway when he made his first move. I smiled and I kicked the fruits on my side, to destruct his attention. Nung tumingin sya sa'kin, yung bato na napulot ko kanina habang kinakausap ko si Miyuki at mabilis na bumulusok papalipit sa kanya, it hit him on his head.

And in a single movement, I am already in his side, hawak ko na ang baril na hawak nya.

"P-papanong–" and I made him unconscious.

Napangisi naman ako na hinarap ang dalawang natigil sa paglalaban.

"What? It wasn't that shocking, yah know. From the very moment, I already know what to do. I am an empath, remember?"

Di na naka-angal pa si Zeal at nawala nalang sya bigla.

"Tsk! Whatever." Dawn

Nginisihan ko lang sya. Well, I sort of, ahm, used my mahou. Kind of. Konti lang naman. I altered some of his memory, I created an image, I distructed him kaya di nya napansin ang paglapit ko. Isa pa, naramdaman ko na talaga na ayaw nya sa ginagawa nya. I just help him.

"Thank you, Ate Nik at Ate Dawn."

Kasabay ng pagsabi nun ni Miyuki ay ang paglaho ng paligid at nabalik kami sa Battle Arena kasabay ng masigabong katahimikan mula sa mga nanunuod. Welcome back daw sa'min.

"What... happened? We all saw how Miss Luxamber walk straight to Mr. Lohter and in a split second, they were out of the game." yung parang MC nila.

"Was Mr. Lohter under a strong illusion?" he added.

Imbis na sumagot, nginitian ko lang sya. Then, from the crowd, the heavy stares of the King caught my attention.

"And that was the end of our first examination. For the next game, you have an hour to prepare and to relax. See you, students." and he vanished. Teleportation huh?

Pero sa ngayon, hinarap ko muna ang nagbabagang tingin ni Dawn. "Ikaw–!!"

"Waaaah! Sorry na, Dawn! Sorry na!!" tsaka ako nagpacute sa kanya, pero waepek, binatukan pa'rin ako. Nanghaba tuloy nguso ko. Ahmp!

Pero di pa ako nakakahuma nung biglang may dumagan sa'kin, sa'min pala, at ginulo gulo buhok na'min.

"Bat ang tagal nyong makatapos?" si Zoey

"Nag-enjoy ako kakalaro kay Baby Miyuki eh"

"Isip-bata" they all said kaya balik nguso ako. Tiningnan ko si Jarred na nakangiti lang, at nagpapaawa sa kanya.

"I don't care, I still love you."

Ihhh? Kenekeleg eke! Ne be!!

"Tae ka pre!" Cyrex

"Iba na'to!" Zoey

"Woosh! Ang sagwa!" Tyler

"Aalis na'ko" si Kuya Xander

At umalis silang lahat. Naiwan kami ni Jarred sa gitna habang sya ay parang ewan na ngiting-ngiti. He held my hand as we walk out from the battle arena.
