The 10th Princess

20

I open my eyes. Letting me see the last scene I saw when I was last here in Imaginary Realm.

Nothing changed at all, may mga litrato pa rin ang nakasabit sa malaking lobby, a small smile escaped from my lips. Seeing my brother in this pictures with me brings warm in my chest.

I lowered my head looking at the wooden floor. I remember this place.

"M-mom? D-dad?"

Mariin kong sinara ang mata ko. I don't wanna remember those unlikely memories. Nagumpisa kong maglakad ng diretso. I was startled when I heared voices as I started walking. I hissed when my weight started to increased again. Oh I hate this place.

"Isabelle....."

I closed my eyes and try my very best not to stop from walking, my legs are starting to numb again. The third gate, its also known as 'Nightmares' if the first gate is the owners greatest mistakes, third gate is your worst nightmares.

As i walk I saw many faces pass by at me, I remember them the first person I ever killed. Ang mga taong nagmamakaawa sa akin na buhayin ko sila. I closed my eyes. You all deserve to die. You don't have a right to beg for your lives.

I gritted my teeth and step again, muntik na kong mawala sa balanse dahil sa bigat ng buong katawan ko. I can hear their cries in agony. My manically laughing while killing them. I can feel terror is starting to creep in me. I shook my head, their cries and my laughter is not helping.

I don't wanna kill them....but if I don't they will killed Sean. I can't afford to do that. Napailing ako dahil sa iniisip ko. This third gate of mine is shitting at my thoughts. "Shut up!" I yelled at them, I can see their bodies but their faces is blurr. I gritten my teeth when their cries becomes louder.

I step again, and sweat is starting to fall down in my forehead. Just keep walking Samantha. I looked at the faceless bodies surrounding me, I lowered my head and try my hardest to ignore their cries. When I suddenly sees a pair of feets in front to me. Its very familiar to me. Those feets..

Pagangat ko ng tingin ko ay nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa nakita ko. "M-mom" I said. Puro dugo ang damit nya at sa tabi nya ay si Dad na nakatingin sa akin na animo ay kasalanan ko ang lahat.

"Isabelle...I told you not to go" Mom said. "Its all your fault Isabelle" Dad said.

"I...." I said while looking at my mother's emerald eyes, "Dad....I" I said then look at him, their looking at me in disappointment. I swallowed my saliva, I have to explain it to them so I can finally escape this place. I close my hands into fists. I just need to forgive myself.....how hard can that be?

"I-I don't know, their someone followed me....I-I did'nt mean too...."

"Its all your fault..."

"Its all your fault..."

"No! It no--"

"Its all your fault..."

"Its all your fault..."

"Its all your fault..."

"Isabella saan ka pupunta?"

"Mommy..." Sabi ko while looking at the beautiful girl looking at the young very familiar girl to me. Me when I was 8.

"Nothing"

"Bella...please understand that no one should see us"

"I know....or bad guys might caught us"

I was standing there while watching the young girl sneaking out to play outside. Umiling ako while yelling at her. "Go back!" I yelled but she doesn't seem to hear me. "Hey kiddo! I said go back!"
