Her Curse (UNDER REVISION)

Chapter 17

"Guys I already got Aira Holdsworth. Next move, I'll get her necklace," She said out of nowhere.

"Tanga ka ba? Sino kausap mo?" Hindi ko mapigilang maging maldita sa harapan nito.

We landed to the roof of our mansion. I can feel the cold air of evening slapping my face.

Curse this gown.

Ang laki laki.

Kate grabbed my hand para mapalapit sa kaniyang pwesto. 'Pag ako nahulog dito mumultuhin ko talaga siya. And then immediately grabbed the necklace in my neck.

"The heart of chasm. Finally!" Nagagalak nitong saad sa akin.

Happy na?

Ang saya saya eh noh?

"Give me that!" I said saka kukunin na sana yung necklace not until she jumped so high na halos hindi ko na makita sa taas ng kaniyang pagtalon.

"This is not yours!" She shouted na tamang tama lang para marinig ko ito. "See you again, Aira Holdsworth."

Babalik na sana ito sa bubong ng mansyon ng biglang may lumipad na isang motorcycle but it's flying to the air at nadala ito and vanished into a thin air while I can hear them laughing like they succeed to their mission. May kasamahan siya mga anim sila, mukhang mga hoodlums din.

What the heck was that?!

They got my necklace. But I don't wanna cry about it, I know it is worth for my tears pero tinatamad akong umiyak.

Aanhin naman kaya nila ang necklace na iyon?

Then the realization hits me.

I am still in the top of our mansion!

The tempus sicco is still going mukhang si Joseph ang gumawa nito. Ganito kasi iyan if you're the one who made the tempus sicco ikaw rin ang dapat na tatapos dito and continue the time in the real world.

"Aira! Where are you?" Narinig kong nag-aalalang na tanong sa akin ni Matt.

"I am in the roof."

"What?!" Matt asked like he was confused.

"Nasa bubong ako!" Hindi ko mapigilang sigaw pabalik sa kaniya.

I am tired.

***

"Paano ka napunta sa bubong?" The tempus sicco is still on. May pag-uusapan pa raw kasi kami.

"That Kate Sotero brought me there," I replied to Angel's question.

"Where is she?" Louis asked.

I shrugged not knowing the answer. "I don't know, they vanished into the thin air while riding a motorcycle?" Hindi ko sigurado na saad sa kanila.

Nagtataka rin sila sa sinabi ko. Ako rin nagtataka sa sinabi ko. Quits lang.

"How about your necklase?"

"They got it," May bahid na paghihinayang sa boses ko. Sobrang napahamal sa akin yun eh tapos kukunin lang nila. Tsk. Hindi naman siguro nila iyon isasangla 'di ba? "Care to explain to me why they want my necklace?" I askes them. Kung hindi ko masagot ang katanungan ko baka sila may maisagot.

"Bakit ano ba ang necklace mo?" Joseph strictly asked.

"I heard that Kate told me that it is a heart of chasm necklace," Saka muling ina-alala ang paguusap namin kanina. Did she accidentally spill it? Or sinadya niya iyong sabihin sa akin?

Nanlakihan ang aking mga mata nang sabay sabag silang tatlo na tumayo.

"What?" Takang tanong ko sa kanilang naging reaksyon.
