The Prophecy of Fates

CHAPTER XXI: Τιτανομαχία

021- BATTLE OF THE TITANS

"You need to tell the others about your visions, amore. Tell them yourself, before it's too late."

Naalala ko ang huling mga sinabi ni Yander sakin kagabi. Hindi ko na magawang matulog pa ulit pagkatapos nun at nakatunganga lang ako sa living room ng House of Hecate while staring at my mother's altar. Paminsan-minsan ay kinakausap ko pa ito. To my disappointment, she didn't answer though.

"You won't leave me for that training, right? You'll come with me?", I asked Mageia and Kratos, referring to my one month Enhancement training with the god Ares and the goddess Artemis nang matapos akong magbihis ng school uniform para pumasok sa klase.

I honestly don't wanna attend classes today. Masyadong pang magulo ang isipan ko. But I need to speak with Sev and Aeo about my visions and... I wanna apologize to Theo for what happened last night.

"You can stroll around if you guys want. I'll be back later.", paalam ko sa dalawa at tsaka ko sila iniwan dun sa House of Hecate.

Mabilis ang lakad ko sa campus dahil panay ang tingin ng ibang semideus sakin. They were staring at me like I'm some sort of a bad omen. A disease that needed to be wiped out here in the academy. I even heard some of them whisper na kasalanan ko raw ang tungkol sa second piece ng broken prophecy. I gritted my teeth as I tried so hard to control myself before my dark-side takes over again.

Halos wala akong gana nang makarating ako sa harapan ng Bibliotheca. I was about to open the door nang may maunang pumasok sakin. My eyes widened nang walang-pasabi akong nilampasan ako ni Theo. I immediately grabbed his uniform, dahilan para mapalingon siya sakin and I instantly froze when I met his cold pair of electrically blue eyes. Inipon ko ang lakas ng loob ko para magsalita...

"Look, yung nangyari kagabi---", hindi ko manlang natapos ang sasabihin ko sana sa kanya nang bigla nalang sumulpot si Clea sa pagitan naming dalawa as she suddenly hugged Theo infront of me na ikinatigil ko. Hindi manlang gumalaw si Theo sa kinatatayuan niya.

"Theo! Thank you talaga! I really enjoyed the food that you gave me last night! Nag-abala kapa, ang sarap nung niluto mo. I'll cook for you next time!", she happily greeted him at mas lalo akong natulala when she suddenly tiptoed towards his face and gave him a faint kiss on the cheek bago naglakad paalis papunta dun sa iba na naghihintay sa roundtable. Parang may kung anong mabigat agad akong naramdaman sa dibdib ko.

"Binigay mo pala kay Clea?", I asked, referring to the food he cooked last evening. Oh gods, why am I trembling? He only stared at me with his brows creased.

"You'd prefer me throwing it away rather than giving it to her then?", his cold baritone sent shivers down my spine kaya agad na nanlaki ang mata ko.

"No! Of course not. I didn't mean it like that.", sinubukan kong ikalma ang sarili ko dahil sa pagbilis ng kabog ng puso ko sa kaba. He hissed at me.

"At least she appreciates it.", parang may kung ano siyang gustong iparating dun sa sinabi niya dahilan para mainis ako sa hindi ko malamang dahilan.

"Sa tingin mo hindi ko na-appreciate yun? You didn't even give me a chance to---"

"Save your explanations, witch. I've seen enough last night.", halos murahin ko siya dahil sa sinabi niya. I clenched my fists in annoyance as my breathing hitched, containing an unknown feeling inside me.
