That Nerd has a Secret (PUBLISHED UNDER PSICOM)

Chapter 29: Where it all began

"Ikaw! Ikaw ang dahilan kung bakit namatay ang anak ko!"

"Isa ka ngang halimaw!"

"That's the consequences for not listening to me."

"Lilipat tayo ng lugar. Aalis na tayo dito. I want you to forget the past Aly."

"Kukunin kita at pag-aaralan."

"Alysia, live."

Napabalikwas ako with my eyes wide open and breathing heavily. Napasabunot ako at naramdaman kong tumulo ang luha ko.

After all those years the past is still haunting me. Even in my dreams.

"Bliss..."

Bulong ko as another tear fell from my eyes. Tama ba 'tong magiging desisyon ko? Kung buhay kaya siya, magiging masaya ba siya kung gagawin ko 'to?

I'm too tired of being strong. Besides, I'm only human. O, let me rephrase that. Besides, I was once human.

Napatingin ako sa orasan and it's only 2 in the morning. Hindi na ako inaantok so I grabbed my hoodie and a pair of slippers and left the dorm. Hindi ko sinuot ang disguise ko dahil wala namang gising ngayon.

Naglakad-lakad ako sa labas. I took a deep breath to appreciate the darkness around me. Hindi naman totally na madilim dahil may mga lamp posts na nagsisilbing ilaw nila dito.

In this simple way, I have proved that humans always find a way to seek light. Ayaw nila sa dilim kaya gumawa sila ng paraan para mag bigay ng liwanag. I can't blame them because it's true.

Pumunta ako sa west wing ng paaralan at nagteleport sa sanga ng isang malaking puno. May ilaw parin dito pero mahina lang. I snapped my fingers to turn that light off. Sumandal ako sa puno at sinummon ang weapon accessory ko.

Walang pinagbago except it's blade and the skull. The blade became sharper and longer while the skull turned blue. Hindi ko alam kung bakit blue. Darkness suppose to have the color of black and not blue. I began to furnish my sword to make it even sharper. Weapon accessories evolves depending on its wielder. Dito makikita physically kung lumakas ba ang gumagamit nito o wala.
               
                          
                        
                
               
"Bago ka lang ba dito? I'm Bliss Angel Conell. Nice to meet you." a girl with a shoulder length hair extended her hand at me with a wide smile. Kita pa ang dalawang sirang ngipin sa harapan nito. Parehas kami.

"Oo kakalipat lang namin dito. I'm Aly. Shea Alysia Valdemore is my full name." I smiled too.

"Friends?"

"Friends."

"Woah Aly! You have powers! But poor little mouse, patay na sya."

"Okay lang 'yan marami pa naman sila."

"Tara laro muna tayo!"

"Hihi! Tara!"
       
       
--
       
   
"Ma'am Alysia pinapauwi ka na po ng mommy mo."

"Tell mommy I'll be there in a minute."

"No you must come with me right now."

"I said later John."

"Your mommy said you'll go down there if you don't come with me."

I stopped when John spoke those words. No I won't go down there! Those place are nasty and full of ugly creatures!
