Silhouette Of Forbidden Secrets (Medovella Chronicles 1)

Chapter 36

On the lion's den

My cheeks were soaked with tears, my hands were trembling as its is drowned with blood. I stare indistinctly on my hands as I watch the color drain from Cameron's face, second by second as the sky starts to tan.

"Reverie, kailangang magamot ni Cameron" Narinig ko ang mahinang bulong ni Spencer sa king likuran habang hawak nito ng marahan ang aking mga balikat, pinapakalma ang aking mga luha.

Kanina pang mahigpit ang aking yakap sa walang malay na katawan ni Cameron, hindi ko alam kung gaano katagal. Nang marinig na maaari pang magamot si Cameron ay kaagad kong niluwagan ang pagkakahawak ko sa kaniyang katawan.

Tumango ako kay Spencer di parin natutuyo ang mga luha, ngumiti ito saka marahan akong hinila patayo. Ang aking mga mata ay nasa katawan parin ni Cameron.

My hand glided on his back, not wanting to let him go as time pass. The blood on his body have stained the cloth of my white dress, making it a canvas of a war it has conquered.

Each second I felt his body slip from my hold, my heart broke more, my wounds getting wider as his body fled away from mine.

Nang tuluyan na akong makatayo ay kaagad akong sumandal kay Spencer na agad namang iniyakap ang kaniyang mga braso sa aking katawan, kinukulong ako sa isang mainit na yakap, pilit akong pinakakalma kahit ang malalakas kong mga hikbi ay sige parin ang bira.

"C-Cameron" I whispered when I saw how soldiers carried his unconsious body out of our sight, into a small cabin. Outside the cabin I saw several men in their white coats, with people in blue scrubs.

Naramdaman ko ang paghigpit ng yakap ni Cameron saakin nang makalayo na saamin ang katawan ni Cameron. His embrace was captivating me, it was erasing my doubts but not my fear.

"Reverie, you need to rest" Bilin saakin ni Spencer ng mahina

"Nasaan yung mga kapatid ko?"

"They're safe on the ship, I have ordered my men to clean up your recidence. Tapos na sila ngayon. You can already go to your house to rest"

"Eh ikaw?" Nag aalala kong saad, mabigat ang paghinga sa gitna ng bawat hikbi

"Ayos lang ako. My cabin is near. I'll rest there. You can visit Cameron once he is stable"

Bumuntong hininga ako bago ko ibinaba ang aking tingin sa aking kwintas. Ang dating malagintong kinang ng dilaw nitong tinta ay naging isang diyamanteng mala gabing malamlam sa pagkabughaw nito.

The blue tint of the diamond has caught my eyes more than the yellow tint it had before, maybe because it reminds me of what Cameron did, his heroism and his determination to end things for a peaceful Country.

I took my time to look at the bloody plains one last time. The stains of war and the scent of fresh blood of heroism has filled the whole place. The archers who were then on the branches of the trees are the only ones left to clear up the whole battlefield. Helping the soldiers who were severely wounded.

"Tara na" aya ko saka naglakad papaalis sa madugong lupain.

Once my feet touched the hard wooden flooe of our house, I cringed as the ugly thought of my family not being here has dawned upon me.

I smiled once before facing Spencer.

"Pwede ka nang magpahinga, Im okay now"

"Ok. I have soldiers outside your house to guard you for the night" Bilin nito bago tumalikod at umalis.

When he was out of sight I closed the door before finally deciding to climb up the stairs. Upon entering my room I immediately slipped out of my dress.
