23' Fall

Luel looked down. Napansin niyang hindi sumakay si Zach sa ferris wheel. Lumingon naman siya kay Alcaeus, at maliit na ngumiti.

"You have a hard time summoning your sphinx, right?" Tanong ni Alcaeus sa kaniya.

Tumango naman si Luel. Alcaeus rested his elbows in his knees, dahilan kung bakit mas lalong lumapit ang mukha niya. She flinched and moved her head away a bit.

"Paano mo pa 'yon napalabas noong una?" Tanong ni Alcaeus.

Napalunok naman si Luel nang maalala kung paano nga. Kinagat lang naman niya si Zach, at bigla nalang 'yong lumabas.

Kinwento naman ni Luel ang nangyari sa kaniya since alam na rin naman ng Team Narain at Aryan na isa siyang bampira.

Tumango naman si Alcaeus, at nag-isip. Malapit na sila sa gitna ng ferris wheel. At napatingin naman sila sa paligid. Walang bubong ang sinasakyan nila kaya't ramdam ang malamig na simoy ng hangin.

"If I succeed on this plan, will you take me to another date?" Tanong ni Alcaeus.

Natawa naman si Luel, hindi niya akalain na ganito ka-straight forward si Alcaeus. She shrugged, "Well, I don't know. Bakit? Ano bang plano mo?"

He smiled, "Do you trust me?"

Nag-taas kilay naman si Luel. Why should I trust him? Pero siguro ay oo. Baka nga pinagkakatiwalaan niya si Alcaeus.

Nakita niya ang scar ni Alcaeus sa right eye niya. Kitang kita niya 'yon dahil ng vampire eyes niya, at malamang nakikita rin siya ni Alcaeus nang malinaw dahil sa violet eyes niya.

"I will trust you if you tell me what happened to your right eye," wika ni Alcaeus.

Napailing naman si Alcaeus. Tiningnan niya kung nasaang banda na sila ng Ferris Wheel. Kaunti pa, isip niya.

He sighed, "I had this when I was a year old. Maagang lumabas ang sphinx ko, kumpara sa iba. I was a child and I had no control over the sphinx. Siya ang may gawa sa'kin nito."

Luel gaped her mouth open. Wow, sana lahat maagang napapalabas ang sphinx!

"The truth is, hindi bumabalik sa kaluluwa ang sphinx ko. Lagi lang siyang tahimik na nakasunod sa akin bilang isang kuting. He's there. Sa baba. Sabi nila, kaya raw hindi bumabalik ay dahil ng scar na ito."

"Kung paminsan, nagiging isa ako sa sphinx ko. I become a hybrid, pero minsan lang mangyari 'yon. Wala pang nakakakita dahil sinasadya kong hindi magpakita. I looke like a beast," wika ni Alcaeus and brushed the hair that was covering his right eye.

Tumango naman si Luel at hilaw na ngumiti. "Why would you be ashamed? That only means that you have a really strong connection with your strong sphinx. Iyon na ang pangarap ko eh."

Alcaeus smiled, and looked at where they are once more. Malapit na sila sa gitna o pinakatuktok ng Ferris Wheel.

Nagulat si Luel nang tumayo si Alcaeus, "Hey! Huwag kang tumayo. Delikado!"

"Do you trust me, Lucianna Sariel?" Tanong ni Alcaeus at nilahad ang kamay niya. Steady lang siyang tumayo kahit na mas lalong lumakas ang hangin.

"Baka madala ka!"

Alcaeus chuckled, "Trust me, Luel. Stand up. Gusto mong mapalabas ang sphinx mo, hindi ba?"

Nang hindi tumayo si Luel, nilapit ni Alcaeus ang katawan niya and scooped Luel on his arms.

Luel shrieked and napatayo nga siya. Nainis siya kaya't tinulak niya si Alcaeus na hindi pala niya dapat ginawa! Now, Alcaeus was almost in the edge, and she heard a lion's roar.

"Do you hear that, Luel? Our sphinxs are awakened mostly by danger. Lagi silang nariyan kapag may masamang mangyayari sa'tin. That is why I am never afraid of dangers, Luel. Trust me, and trust your sphinx," wika ni Alcaeus habang umaayos muli ng tayo.

Nagkunot-noo naman si Luel. Nagulat siya nang buksan ni Alcaeus ang pinto ng ferris wheel. He was smiling so wide, like he was addicted to danger.

Ngayon, nasa pinakatuktok na sila. Nanginig si Luel dahil parang alam niya na ang balak ni Alcaeus. A crazy plan!

"This is now or never, Luel," wika ni Alcaues at biglang niyakap nang mahigpit si Luel.

Nadala si Luel, at naramdaman niyang tumalon si Alcaeus mula sa taas. She didn't scream, but her heart dropped instantly! Kaya niyang tumalon at maglanding pero hindi sa ganoong kataas!

She felt something from her back burn. Nagulat siya lalo nang humiwalay si Alcaeus sa kaniya, at naiwan siya na mag-isa sa ere.

"Alcaeus!" Sigaw niya nang mapansin mas mabilis ang pagbagsak ni Alcaeus.

She screamed, now that she was fastly approaching the land. But she screamed more in pain, when she felt something in her back. As if her back was being ripped.

Napapikit siya, pero nagulat nang tila tumigil siya sa pagbagsak.

Minulat niya ang mata niya. Shocked on how she was able to... fly. Hindi naman siya talga air elemental.

Nagkunot noo siya lalo nang makaramdam ng pag-flap sa likod niya. She looked at it, and was shocked upon the sight of black wings!

Nakakabit iyon sa kaniya, na tila siya nga talaga ang may-ari ng pakpak.

"P-paano?" Tanong niya sa sarili niya. Naalala naman niya si Alcaeus, kaya't tumingin siya sa baba.

Alcaeus was caught by his lion, and he waved at her like a proud friend. At the same time, nagtaka rin siya.

Nagtaka silang lahat sa amusement park na nakapanood sa pangyayari.

Bakit mayroong itim na pakpak ng anghel si Lucianna Sariel Rofocale? Was it because of her angel sphinx na bumuo ng hybrid sa kaniya? Or was it because Lucianna Sariel was an angel herself? Pero... imposible iyon.

One student from afar smirked, "Black wings of an angel. Bakit naman siya mayroon n'on?"

The student watched her fall, and suddenly show her wings. He/she kept a close look, getting more and more interested on her identity.

Pinanood niya siyang dahan-dahang bumaba sa lupa gamit ang black wings niya. She touched it like a little child. She was so amazed, but confused at the same time.

The student also watched Luel's wings vanish, at napansin niyang hindi makapagsalita o makapag-react ng ayos si Luel.

"Lucianna Sariel Rofocale, daughter of Sinclair. What are you? Are you the key to master's plans?"

That fall became a trigger to shoot and begin the plans of the master.
