Magical Academy: The Long Lost Princess

Chapter 7

Zach POV

"Daddy, kailan uuwi si mommy? I miss her so much," she suddenly ask that made me quiet. "Daddy?"

I cleared my throat. "I don't know, sweetie but I know your mommy will come back for you," I said to make everything feel at ease.

"I'm excited to tell her that I already have a daddy!" she said and giggled that make me chuckled.

"Yeah, you should sleep now," I said and kissed her forehead.

"You and mom really is the same, it's your hobby to kiss my forehead before I sleep," she muttered that make me chuckled.

I am already destined to marry the long lost princess but I'm having this weird feeling towards Klea. I don't know if it's only coincidence but Klea is also the name of the Princess,  Kleo's twin sister.

"Daddy, can you tell me a story please? I can't sleep," Macy said, I thought she already fell asleep because she stayed silent for a moment before she spoke.

"Does your mom used to tell you a bedtime story?" I ask while caressing her hair.

"Uhm.. No, this is the first time I asked someone to tell a story for me before I sleep but she always caress my hair like what you're doing," sabi niya at siniksik ang sarili sa akin, I chuckled because of what she did.

"Okay, then. In the faraway kingdom there's a beautiful girl named Macy—" naputol ang pagsasalita ko ng tumili siya.

"That's me! That's me!" she shrieked that make me chuckled and told her to stop making noise.

"She was admired by anyone because of beauty and intelligent. One day, the King gave her a mission and that is to find a deer.  A magical deer to be exact," I said and I saw how she smiled. Wala na akong maisip, I'm just making those stories. Haha.

"She traveled until she stopped in the forest, she got off her horse and scan the place. There, she saw a pretty rainbow deer.  She was about to catch it but the deer run, it ran so swiftly that it took her the whole day to catch the deer. When she already got the deer, she was supposed to go back but then, she stopped. There, she saw a sleeping prince on the grass," napatigil na ako sa pagsalita ng maramdaman ko ng napahilig na siya sa dibdib ko.

She fell asleep easily, ni hindi pa nga nangalahati kinuwento ko eh.  And it's okay, I don't know what's the next thing that will happen anyway. 

I kissed her forehead and position herself on where she can be comfortable. I put the strand of her hair behind her ears and caressed her cheeks.

This girl is really beautiful like her mother, and I don't why but she can make my cold heart melt. I lay beside her and hug her before closing my eyes.

Elara POV

"I'm telling you guys, this is not going to be good," Ayessa said and crossed her arms.

"Oh come on, Ayessa. We're already outside, ngayon ka pa nagreklamo," Elora said and I chuckled.

So, we're sneaking out now. Magbobonding kami sa white mall.  Mags-shopping kami, kakain, at maglalaro sa arcades. Kahit gabi na, open pa rin mga mall dito kase hindi naman yun nagsasara eh.

Tumalon na si Ariana mula sa kwarto namin, siya kase ang pinakahuli na bumaba. Ngumisi naman siya at naunang maglakad, sumunod naman kami. 

Bubuksan na sana namin ang gate ng... "Saan kayo pupunta mga prinsesa?" oh-oh.

"Hi, manong guard!" nakangiti kong saad, nagulat nalang ako ng may humila sa akin at tumakbo.

"Wahhh! I told you this is not going to be good!" I heard Ayessa said while still running.

I sigh inwardly and stop from running and flicked my hands,  sa isang iglap nasa mall na ako. Hindi din nagtagal ay dumating na din sina kambal, Ayessa at Ariana. 

"We can teleport, bakit 'di natin naisip yun kanina?" nakasalubong ang kilay na sabi ni Ayessa.

"Teleporting take lots of energy to us, you all know that kaya nga minsan lang tayo magteleport eh," Ariana said.

"Yeah, but white mall is not that far from the Academy kaya kunti lang makukuha niyan sa'tin," I said and she shrugged.  I pouted.

"Tara na!" nakangiting saad ng kakambal ko at dumiretso sa area ng mga damit. 

Pumili naman kaagad ako ng magagandang damit, mga damit na alam kung babagay talaga sa akin.

Nang matapos kaming bumili ng damit ay dumiretso kami sa arcade.  Bumili ako ng maraming tokens ganon din sila.  Lahat ng laro tinry ko, solong solo namin ang arcade ngayon kase walang tao.

Pagod naman kaming pumunta sa isa sa mga food restaurant dito sa Mall, ang kambal ko na ang nag order ng foods. Agad naman siyang bumalik, nasa likod niya ang may hawak ng foods.

Agad namin itong kinain na para bang wala kaming kain mula pa noong isang buwan kaya napatawa kami.

"Hay.. That was fun," I said with a grin on my face. We're heading our way back to our dorm na.

"Yeah, I hope walang kapalit kasiyahan natin kanina," sabi ni Ayessa at nauna ng pumasok,  madali lang na makapasok kase natutulog ang kawal.

Nakangiti kaming pumasok sa kwarto namin pero agad itong nawala ng makitang nandoon sina Kleo, Casper, Isiah at Charles na nakaupo.

They all looked at us,  what I mean about about looked is glared. 

"Ladies," we were froze when we heard Dean's voice behind us.  Naglakad naman kami papasok ng 'di siya tinitingnan. 

"Boys, get the bags," Dean said and the boys behind the Dean get our shopping bags before leaving the room. "And I'll block your cards for a week, hindi porket malalaking points ang nakukuha niyo palagi ay gastos kayo ng gastos atsaka gabi ngayon mga prinsesa," sabi niya at umalis na din. 

Our world suddenly stopped and broke. That's the worst punishment I've ever heard in my entire life. Pano na kami makakapagshopping ulit? I know it's only a week but damn, a week without shopping is damn boring.

We got points everytime we go to mission, one mission worth millions kaya palagi talaga kaming gumagawa ng misyon hindi lang sa may thrill ito, may pera ding papasok sa cards namin. Pang shopping na namin yun. 

I deeply sigh and bit my lower lip.

"Tsk. Masakit?" natatawang sabi ni Charles kaya bigla nalang may kulog na dumaan malapit sa kanya.

"Masakit?" pabalik na tanong ni Ayessa kaya napahawak si Charles sa pisngi niya bago ngumuso.

"What are you doing here?" tanong ni Ariana.

"Oh.  The Dean told us that you sneaked again,  stubborn ladies," Casper said and I mentally rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, you can go now," my twin said and they frown before going out our room. 

"I bought one of the most expensive dress but it was taken away, 'di ko pa nga yun nagamit man lang kahit ikaisa lang," sabi ko kaya tumawa sila.

They are laughing as if their products, clothes, or other stuffs was not taken ha. They didn't mind?! Huh? Nakagastos ako ng mahigit isang milyon na kaya sayang talaga yun, baka ipamigay lang ni Dean yun or worst ipapatapon.

"Ang kuripot mo talaga kahit kailan, bal," sabi ng kambal ko kaya napasimangot ako. Palibhasa siya okay lang gumastos ng gumastos, akin nga kahit piso pinapahalagahan ko ganyan ako kakuripot ibang iba sa kambal ko.

"And besides, mayaman naman kayo, lambingin mo nalang parents mo," sabi ni Ariana kaya napatawa ako.

We're rich,yes, but we don't use it to buy what we wanted.  Ginagamit namin yun for our people, the light user. In the light village, everyone there has financial problem so me and my twin always pay them a visit and helped like offering some foods, but we have to study, I wonder how are they now.

"Bal, tulog na," my twin said and I nodded before jumping to my bed, feeling exhausted.

Tomorrow is the day the start of having no money, how can we eat?! Iisipin ko pa lang na 'di kami makakakain ay nasisira na puso ko.  Okay, oa ka talaga kahit kailan Elara, pwede naman magpalibre sa boys eh.  Tama! Tama!

I closed my eyes and doze off.
