CHAPTER SEVEN

Kinsley POV
In this world full of mysteries and questions left unanswered, I never thought there would be beautiful places and truly mesmerizing sights. 
Suddenly, I felt sorry for myself upon seeing others here, families, group of friends and couples enjoying themselves. If there was one wish I had back then that I still hope for now, it is to have a day of vacation and do everything that normal people do. To go out with the whole family, eat, laugh, just enjoy ourselves, but it seems impossible for that to happen.
"Kinsley, they are already here" sabi ni Kuya Austin kaya hinanap ng mata ko ang tinutukoy niya at napangiti na lang nang makita sila. 
"Von, Kade"
"Buenos días!" Kade greeted us cheerfully as they approached
"Good morning" bati rin ni Von at tumingin kay Kuya Austin "I need to talk to you" sabi ni Kuya at lumayo na sila ng unti sa'min. 
"Ate Kinsley! Where do you want to go?!" Kade asked hyperactively, and I couldn't help but pinch his blushing cheek. Ang cute niya talaga. 
"Hindi ko alam. Ikaw na bahala" hindi ako laging nakakagala kaya wala akong alam sa lugar na ito. Nakakalabas lang din ako sa mansion kapag bibisitahin namin sila Lolo o kaya naman when Dad has business to attend to, and he takes me with him.
"What is your talent, Ate?"
I smiled at his question "I love to draw" I proudly replied 
"Arts? That's cool! But I thought you were like your cousin, Ate Addison"
I just shook my head.
Ate Addison is a ballerina and a model, kaya sobrang sikat nito habang si Kuya Austin na kambal niya ay marunong gumamit ng iba't ibang klase ng instruments. They are both graduating. 
"Kinsley if there's a problem call me, okay?" tumango ako at sumaludo pa sa kanya. 
"Yes, sir!" napailing na lang siya at ginulo ang buhok ko "Wag kayo papagabi" he reminded before Kade dragged me away.
"Let's go, Ate Kinsley!"
"Bye, Kuya Austin!" I waved at him, but he just nodded in response
Addison POV
I let out a sigh and lowered the book I was holding. Kahit anong basa ko wala talagang pumapasok sa isip ko. I was too affected by what I had learned. 
I picked up the glass of wine and took a sip when the door suddenly opened, and my twin entered, Austin. He was the older one between us, but I never called him Kuya.
"Is it really okay that you let her go with them? I'm worried about her safety" I said, looking directly into his eyes as I set down the glass of wine.
"Don't worry too much, they have bodyguards watching over them"
I bit my lip. I still couldn't be at ease "What if she suddenly gets a headache?"
"Addison . . .  when you see how happy she is . . .  their mansion can be compared to a prison. She's only been freed now. I want her to do what makes her happy"
Damn, why did this have to happen? I couldn't even stand looking at my own cousin because of guilt. Maybe if I stayed with her for a few hours, I might blurt out everything. Fuck that bitch. This is all her fault. 
"Wala pa rin bang update?" tanong ko dahil siya ang madalas na kausap ni Dad tungkol sa problemang ito. 
Umiling siya na kinabagsak ng balikat ko "Hanggang ngayon wala pa rin" sagot niya at humalukipkip
"How long are we going to keep it from her?" I asked again, as Kinsley had the right to know everything. She needed to know "Why don't we just ask her mother's family for help?" I added, and he glared at me sharply. Okay, wrong move. Now he's angry. Stupid Addison.
"We will not ask for help from those demons. Fuck them! Have you forgotten what they did to Uncle Cronus? They made his life miserable! They made him suffer! Uncle Cronus was about to end his life if we hadn't stopped him. And it's all their fault!"
He was angry, really angry, and I knew he was just holding back at this moment.
"But what about Kinsley? Her life is at stake here" I said, feeling fear from my twin's intense gaze.
"We will protect her. If we have to use all our money gagawin ko just to protect her" he answered seriously, standing up "You too Addison. Pwede ka din nilang gawing target. You also need to be careful. Hindi pwedeng mawala kayo ni Kinsley. You two are the princess of Asteria" he said before leaving.
Pabagsak akong napasandal sa sofa. 
"Kinsley didn't even know she had a brother" 
Kahit hindi ako siya nasasaktan ako. Damn sobra na 'to. 
Kinsley POV
"That's cute!" Kade exclaimed happily and hurriedly headed towards a store selling stuffed toys.
"Kade! Hintayin mo ako!" kabado akong sumunod sa kanya dahil medyo matao dito, ayaw kong mawala! 
"Are you fucking blind?" mataray na tanong sa akin ng hindi ko sinasadyang mabangga. 
"Uhm I'm sorry hindi ko sadya" 
"Bitch tumingin ka kasi sa dinadaanan mo tatanga-tanga eh" sabi niya na kinayuko ko na lang dahil nakaka-agaw na siya ng atensyon "Tsk" inirapan niya pa ako bago umalis pero bago 'yon binangga niya pa ako sa balikat na kinangiwi ko na lang. 
Grabe parang na bangga lang eh. Napabusangot na lang ako habang nakakunot ang noo na nakatingin sa dinaanan ng babae. 
"Kinsley, are you okay?" Von asked with concern as he approached me.
I just smiled and looked at what he was holding.
"Here for sure gutom ka na" he said, handing me some waffles with ice cream on top. Mukhang masarap! 
"Thank you, si Kade?" Tanong ko at luminga-linga, hindi naman ako nabigo na mahanap ito ang kaso nakatingin ito sa kung saan. Mukhang hindi niya nga na pansin yung nangyare kanina. 
"Kade are you . . .  okay?" Tanong ko 
"It's them" he murmured na mas lalong kinataka ko lalo na nang ngumiti ito ng mapait na para bang nasasaktan ito "My mom and my little sister" mapakla siyang tumawa at pinahid ang luhang nasa pisnge niya "How I wish I could go shopping with them" he said, looking at me, and I couldn't help but feel sad seeing him like that.
"Can you give this to my sister?" sabi niya at binigay sa akin ang isang stuffed toy na panda. So that's what he bought from that store. No wonder he had such a wide smile earlier, it was for his sister after all. 
"Sure" I replied without hesitation at pinahawak na muna kay Von ang pagkain ko, saka nilapitan na ang mom at kapatid ni Kade na ngayon ay naka upo sa isang bench. 
"Excuse me po" agad ko nakuha ang atensyon nila. Nagtatakang tumingin sa akin ang ina ni Kade. 
Hindi ko maiwasang hindi mamangha sa gandang taglay nito. She had blonde hair but brown eyes, while Kade's sister looked just like him, blue eyes and blonde hair.
I smiled at them and looked at Kade's sister, who was eating ice cream ngunit ang atensyon ay nasa hawak kong stuffed toy. 
"Good afternoon po Mrs, Vaughn I'm Kinsley Asteria" I introduced myself.
Her face seemed to light up at my words "You are the daughter of Cronus" she said gently but with evident surprise and admiration on her face.
Tumango ako "I just want to give this to her" sabi ko na ang tinutukoy ay ang stuffed toy "She's cute" I said habang nakatingin sa kapatid ni Kade. Nakakalungkot lang isipin na hindi man lang niya kilala ang Kuya niya. 
"Kacey what will you say?"
"T-thank you Ate" nahihiyang sabi nito sa akin nang matanggap ang stuffed toy. 
"Thank you, dear. By the way, it's nice to see you. Hindi kita nakikita sa mansion niyo pagdumadalaw kami but I love your painting. Your talent is amazing"
"Thanks for the compliment Mrs. Vaughn pero nasa kwarto lang ako sa tuwing bibisita kayo sadyang hindi lang talaga ako sanay na makisalamuha sa iba. I am currently studying at Wisteria Academy po, I hope to see you there sometimes" Saglit ko pang sinulyapan si Kacey bago tuluyang nagpaalam sa kanila.
Pagtalikod, naglaho ang ngiti sa labi ko. When will you remember that you still have a son waiting for you to come back and remember him?
