AURORA'S POV
"Are we seriously gonna listen to whatever's written on that note?" Kai asked. "You know, they might be trying to fool us, whoever they are."
Kahit ako ay nalilito. Bakit ba kami pinapaalis?
May mangyayari ba?
Aelia suddenly lifted up the cat and examined it. Her eyes glowed from pink to blue and lastly to gold. Ang ganda ng kulay ng mata niya...
"This cat seems harmless... and I think the person who sent the letter is the same," sambit niya bigla. "Kai, what do you think?"
Kai shrugged. "The cat's cute." Bigla akong napasimangot sa kanyang sagot.
Aelia rolled her eyes. "Dimwit," komento niya. "So, are we gonna follow the note or what?" she asked with sass.
Talia pouted like a child. "Mas gusto ko pa ata yung mga surprise quiz ni Miss Elliana kesa dito. Hindi ba pwedeng bumalik nalang sa academy?" she asked, frowning.
Bahagyang natawa si Aelia. "Yeah, that does sound better than this."
After that, a long silence followed. Only our ragged breaths could be heard, and no one dared to interrupt the unspoken agreement we had to stay silent.
Well... that was until Tazyn decided to intervene.
"Kailangan na nating umalis," bigla niyang saad. "Ngayon na," dugtong pa niya. Biglang kumunot ang noo ko.
"What? Are you serious?" Kai asked.
Tumango si Tazyn. "Trust me. We need to leave." Sobrang seryoso na ng itsura niya at bahagya akong kinilabutan. Mukhang kailangan na nga naming umalis.
"Is the limousine still outside, Mavi?" singit ni Amari. "We're gonna leave," anunsyo niya. If Amari says we need to leave, then we will.
"It's still there..." Mavi replied, looking uneasy.
He froze for a second.
"Holy Poseidon... I'm sensing something ominous..." Bigla akong napatigil nang may marinig akong mabasag.
Nang lumingon ako, nakita kong may nakapulupot na ahas sa binti ko!
"Aurora!"
"Oh my gosh-" Napasinghap ako. Napaupo ako dahil madulas ang sahig at naalerto ang iba dito. "Gods," I cursed.
"Stay alert!" Hiro commanded, his voice displaying its powerful pull once again. Biglang dumami ang ahas sa paligid hanggang sa palibutan kami.
I clicked my tongue before butterflies started to show up. They protected me while I tried to escape this snake. I held the snake using my hands and tried wriggling myself out of its hold but failed.
Ayoko talaga sa ahas!
I started panicking, and I think I didn't breathe for a few seconds. Bakit ba naman kasi ahas ang umatake sa'kin sa lahat ng pwedeng umatake?!
