O L Y M P I A S (Home of the gods)

Twenty Four

"You know that I can only carry one person, right?" Tumango naman ako sa tanong ni Zelus.

"Don't worry I have plans." I assured Zelus.

"Good." Tipid na sagot niya.

"There!" I shouted and I pointed para mas kita ni Zelus.

That's Tyrone!

"Kailangan natin lumapit sa kanya pero wag kang bababa." I commanded Zelus.

"Roger that, Milady." Inirapan ko na lang ang sinabi ni Zelus.Then I tried connecting with Tyrone for the hundredth time.

"Tyrone please answer me.This is Zoelle.Can you hear me?"

I bite my lip, hoping na sana naririnig niya ako.

"I heard you.Where are you?"

Tyrone answered!Halos magdiwang ako pero naalala ko na nasa ere nga pala kami at baka mabagsak ako ni Zelus if I dare to move.

"I'm fine.Don't worry about me and just listen.Ituturo ko sa'yo ang directions to Angel and Mori."

"I'm ready."

"Okay.Turn around and walk straight, I'll tell you when to stop."

Agad naman siyang sumunod sa inutos ko.Then I said stop, someone's following him.

"Tyrone, someone's following you.What should we do?"

I asked him and I saw him nod his head.I don't know what's going on with his mind right now because I can't hear him.He probably blocked me.Then I saw him open his bag.

"His fairy!" I exclaimed.Buti na lang hindi nagulat si Zelus sa pagsigaw ko.

I watched them as Tyrone's fairy became a replica of him.Napaisip tuloy ako kung kaya din ba ito ni Ophelia or yung mga fairies lang ng mga Pancras students ang may kaya nito.

Buti na lang at hindi nakita yun ng sumusunod sa kanila, he's clueless that there's two Tyrone now.

"Let's go." Napatingin ako kay Zelus sa sinabi niya.

"Ha?Teka wag natin silang iwanan!" I exclaimed pero nakaalis na kami ni Zelus.I want to hit him pero hawak niya ang buhay ko.

Bumaba kami sa kung saan nandoon sina Mori at Angel.Nilapitan nila kami pero nanatili akong tahimik.Naiinis ako kay Zelus.

WE LEFT TYRONE AND HIS FAIRY AT NASA PANGANIB SILA!THEY NEED HELP!

"Okay ka lang ba Zoelle?" Tanong sa akin ni Mori.Iniling ko ang ulo ko tsaka ako tumungo.

"Tyrone." Tinignan ko si Angel.

"Bakit Angel?Anong meron?" I asked.Bakit naman niya babanggitin pangalan ni Tyrone diba?

"We should get out of here." Napalingon ako and nakita ko si Tyrone.

I'm beyond thankful!Kahit kaaway ko tong lalaki na to, hindi kakayanin ng konsensya ko na mamatay siya.As a group, we should get out of here together.

Tumakbo ako sa kanya to check if he was alright at tanungin siya kung paano siya nakadating dito na halos kasabay lang namin ni Zelus.

"Zoelle!" Nagulat ako ng biglang tumakbo papunta sa akin si Zelus and that's the time ng naalala ko na nabalian nga pala ako.

Stupid Zoelle!

Bago ako bumagsak, nabuhat na ako ni Zelus.Tsaka naramdaman ko na ulit yung sakit ng paa ko.I winced in pain, I know I am stupid for doing that but you know I have a heart and I mostly care for people.

"Thankyou." I thanked Zelus in a small voice dahil nahihiya ako.

"It's fine." Seryoso niyang sabi.I feel like he's mad at me for doing that.

"O———kay!Tara na people!" Napatingin ako kay Angel and she winked at me.Why did she do that?

"Wait.I need to go.I can't accompany you anymore." Napatingin ako kay Zelus tsaka ako tumango.

"Thankyou, Zelus.Sana makita ulit kita." I smiled at him and he did the same thing.I am very comfortable with him and in a short period of time I became friends with him, a stranger in a magical forest.I don't know anything about him but I am sure that he's a good person.

"Let's go already." Nagulat ako ng bigla akong kinuha ni Tyrone and now he's holding me.

"H-hoy!Teka lang!" I shouted pero parang walang pakialam si Tyrone...well he really is.Nagsimula na siyang maglakad papunta sa dapat na destination namin and sumabay na din sa amin sina Angel at Mori.

I looked back para tignan ulit si Zelus but now he's gone.Wala na siya doon.
