Chapter Twelve: The Second Great War

Alex's POV

Amber fell to the ground after killing herself with a knife. Miss. Stephanie went towards me.

"Sacrifice." I whispered, that caught her attention. What kind of sacrifice?

The crystal in the sceptre went towards my necklace. I don't know why or how but it just went towards me.

"Miss. Stephanie, anong klaseng sakripisyo?" she is standing right next to me, glowing with electricity.

"I do not know neither." she said as sparks fly out of her mouth.

"But not all sacrifices must be made." she said. "It's your choice. Sacrifices are made to make the world better." she shook my hair as she held my hand. "To make you better."

I often have dreams.

I was in a field, watching the tornado as it destroy the crops. But stuff started to float.

The dream shifted.

Palace. I was in a palace.

The shadow that I met in the tower stood at his thrown, while talking to another guy.

"We"ll be marching south. We need the prisnoner. He would be useful." The other guy nodded and went towards the door.

"And Ivan, bring the boy prisoner not the girl."

I gasped as my eyes swung open.

"Alex! Alex! Gising, fiesta na!" masaya pa talaga siya. Kahit kailan 'to si Bailey.

Natandaan ko nung bata ako. Pinapanood ko yung mga lalaki sa parada na bumubuga ng apoy. Dati akala nag-mamagic talaga sila.

But magic isn't what you think.

Natatandaan ko pa 'rin yung mga rollercoaster at yung ferris wheel na nasa may plaza ng bayan.

Tumayo ako at nagpalit ng damit. Lumabas kami ni Bailey at pumunta sa isla para mag-umagahan.

"Kailan kaya tayo aatakihin?" sabi ni Bailey habang tinutusok-tusok ang ulam niya gamit ang tinidor.

"Ewan."

Dumiretso kami sa klase namin. First-aid ang itinuturo sa 'min ngayon. Pinanuod ko si Mr. Howell na nakaharap sa whiteboard at tinuturo kung paano ang gagawin kapag mayroong nasugatan.

"Unang-una linisin niyo ang sugat gamit ang di-gaanong mainit na tubig." sabi nito. "Takpan ito ng malinis na band-aid kung ito'y maliit lang. Kapag ito naman ay malaki, maaring isang malinis na tela ang gamitin. Kailangan ito para mapigilan ang mga dumi na pumasok sa sugat."

Nakinig lang ako buong klase hanggang natapos na si Mr. Howell magturo. Dumiretso kami ni Bailey sa isla ulit para manang-halian.

6:00 PM

Hindi pa 'rin nagpaparamdam ang Crypto.

Nandito ako ngayon sa balcony ng aking dormitoryo. Tiningnan ko ang mga bituin na kumikinang sa langit.

My vision was blurred and it shifted.

Si Alexandro. Nakikipaglaban siya.

Tatlong lalaking naka-itim ang naka-palibot sa kanya. Biglang lumutang ang mga espada na nakalagay sa bewang nila.

Ngayon ay naka-tutok ito sa ulo nila. Alexandro is controling them. Telekinesis.

They collapsed as the sword swung through their heads.

He got that crystal that I have on his necklace.

He was the man that I saw on my first day in here. He was the man on the painting in my dream.

My vision started shifting back to reality.

Things are floating around me.

My sofa, my bag, my shoes, the carpet, the cabinet, my books, and even the television.

The crystal has his power.

I have his power.

Bailey's POV

The ground started shaking. Hindi ito si Connor, ibang pag-alog ng lupa ang nararamdaman ko.

Green smoke is coming from the window. Dali-dali akong tumakbo papa-labas ng Academy.

My jaw dropped from what I saw.

An army of people is marching towards us. They are leaded by a guy with brown hair, green smoke is dropping from his hand.

Above him was a man with a scary face. He was floating in the air while summoning mini tornadoes. He wore a mask and a black robe.
