Serena's POV
Men in black cloaks appeared right infront of me. The people of Rivendell.
WHAT THE HELL?!
"Ano pang hinihintay niyo? Patayin niyo na yan!" utos ng sa tingin ko ay leader nila. They started attacking me pero umiwas ako dito.
Buti na lang talaga kahit papaano ay tinuruan ako ni Mommy na gumawa ng air spikes at air blades para kahit papaano ay magagawa kong protektahan ang sarili ko. Nagawa kong patamaan ang mga magic ball na ibinabato nila sa akin.
Sunod-sunod ang pag atake nila. They we're about a hundreds and I was only one! Akala ko ba namatay na silang lahat kanina?!
"Shit!" I cursed ng matamaan ako sa kaliwang binti ko. I fell on the ground. I groaned in pain at bago pa man ako makatayo, half of my body up to my shoulders we're chained by a black smoke. Sinubukan kong igalaw ang katawan ko but I couldn't. Hindi ako makawala. I was stuck in the ground and my body was frozen that I couldn't even move a finger. Dang! Did I just get myself into trouble? I cursed mentally.
I look at them at napapaligiran na nila ako. Madilim ang paligid dahil natatakpan ng mga puno ang liwanag but I can see them.
"Patayin niyo na yan!" utos muli ng nagsalita kanina.
I started shaking in pure nervousness, panic and fear. Sinusubukan kong igalaw ang katawan ko but I couldn't really move.
I gasped as I screamed when I saw lots of magic balls coming my way. Napapikit ako ng mahigpit and just hoped some gods out there will come to my rescue and hoped I couldn't feel the pain being struck but I feel nothing. Instead, naramdaman ko ang paglabas ng isang malakas na enerhiya mula sa katawan ko. Then I heard a low screams and screeches around me.
Dahan-dahan, naramdaman kong wala na ang maitim na usok na nakabalot sa akin. Napaupo ako sa damuhan.
After a minute, I slowly opened my eyes. Napatingin ako sa paligid and only ashes of the men in cloaks were seen. I survived. I breathe a sigh of relief. But I can still feel my heart beats pumping fast on my chest.
Napatigil ako sa paghinga when I heard footsteps from my behind. Mabilis akong lumingon summoning a magic ball if incase but found a woman wearing a white cloak walking away. I am certain it is a woman base na rin sa mahabang buhok nito.
Did she perhaps saved me?
"SANDALI!" sigaw ko pero tuluyan na siyang naglaho sa paningin ko.
---
I woke up the day after light headed. I was able to return home last night. Hanggang ngayon, nahihiwagaan pa rin ako kung sino yung tumulong sa akin. I am more concern to know who is that woman rather than knowing how the people of Rivendell got here. I thought it is safe here. That I am safe here but I guess I am not anymore.
".. so as I mentioned pupunta tayo ngayon sa gubat malapit sa Academy natin for your experiment. I had already assigned your respective groups last time so stick with it."
Napasapo ako sa aking noo. Right. Ka grupo ko si Cheska, unfortunately. We were having our second to the last subject today. Hindi sana ako papasok ngayon kasi I was too overwhelmed sa mga pangyayari kagabi but I had to. Kapag nalaman ni Mommy ang nangyari, I will be in bigger trouble.
Napatingin sa akin si Cheska and as usual, inirapan niya lang ako. I sigh. We really just have to accept the fact that we are not everyone's cup of tea. Hindi ko alam kung bakit galit na galit siya sa akin.
Pagdating namin sa gubat na malapit lang sa likod ng school namin, our Professor gave out instructions before we enter inside the forest. Sabi niya wala naman daw wild animals or anything sa loob ng gubat ngunit kailangan pa rin naming mag-ingat.
"Be sure to comeback after 30 minutes." he strictly instructed.
And with that we started walking inside the forest.
Third Person's POV
"Alam mo Cheska, sa halip na inaaway away mo ako dito, bakit hindi kaya yung mga kailangan natin sa experiment ang hanapin mo no? Sa tingin mo gusto ko rin na kasama ka?" Serena hissed.
Kanina pa siya nagtitimpi kay Cheska na inaaway siya simula noong pumasok sila sa loob ng gubat. Serena has been tempted a lot to just use her magic against Cheska para tumigil na ito.
Cheska rolled her eyes and she was almost fuming in anger.
"Wow. Sa tingin mo rin ba gusto ko na kasama ka dito?!" asik niya at tumaas na rin ang boses nito.
Ayaw na ayaw niyang nakikita ang mukha ni Serena. Recently, nalaman niyang gusto nilang kunin si Serena bilang center sa cheer leading team sa school nila. Although, hindi tinanggap ni Serena ang alok nila, pakiramdam pa rin niya ay magiging kaagaw niya ito sa lahat.
Ang mga kasama nila sa grupo ay nakatingin lang at nakikinig sa away ng dalawa. They were scared to even speak even just a one word.
"Whatever!" Serena said at nagpatuloy ito sa paglalakad.
Hindi na niya pinansin pa si Cheska na patuloy pa rin sa pagsasalita sa likuran niya. Mag aaway lang sila ng mag aaway kung papatulan niya ito.
Just when they reached a high slope, Cheska smiled as an idea popped in her head.
"Magpaalam ka na Serena. I didn't succed on my first plan but this time, I will make sure I will succeed." Cheska said to herself.
"I think we----"
But before Serena could finish her sentence, tinulak siya ni Cheska.
"AHHHHH!" she screams as she falls right to the slope. Serena was caught by surprise. Ni hindi niya naisip na gagawin iyon ni Cheska sa kanya. Her mind wasn't functioning at that time.
Cheska was left standing at the top smirking and even waved her hand goodbye.
"Good bye Serena." Cheska said. Wala kang guilt na makikita sa mga mata nito.
Sa loob-loob niya, kahit na may masamang mangyari kay Serena hindi ito malalaman ng mga kaklase niya. Dahil yung mga kasamahan nila ay nasa hulihan.
Cheska then smirked and smile, satisfied and turn around to leave. Ngunit nakakatatlong hakbang pa lamang ito when suddenly a strong force pushed her down the slope following Serena.
"AHHHHH!" she screams.
At nagpatuloy ang pagsigaw niya habang gumugulong siya pababa.
At sa di kalayuan, a woman wearing a white cloak was standing. Nakatingin ito sa nahuhulog na si Cheska.
"No one ever got the right to hurt my Serena." she speaks in a cold and stern voice.
