'Just remain still and act appropriately.' Pinagsasabi nito? E hindi ko nga magalaw katawan ko.

Sinasabi ko na talaga e, hindi normal mga taong 'to. I can't believe nagtiwala ako sa babae'ng 'to e kayang-kaya pala ako kontrolin. I'm not even sure now If it was me talking a while ago or if she's controlling me in how she wants me to answer and react.

And there's no need to be in denial. These people have superpowers like in those shows; they're not weird; they're just something else in this world. And there's no way I am one of them.Kasi tri-ny ko na e.

'Yung umaarte ako kunyareng may kapangyarihan, like tumitingin ako sa isang bagay tas' iisipin ko na lumutang 'to, pero 'di naman lumutang. Or kapag naliligo ako ay nagku-kunyare akong kumu-kontrol ng tubig pero hindi talaga siya nag-foform sa gusto kong mangyare.

This Nevaeh they're talking about isn't really me, she's definitely mistaken. Like there's no way.

But, anyway, who's that fine looking man? And where's the driver? Don't tell me he's the driver?! That's his real face?

Kasi kung 'yan talaga tunay niyang mukha. Kahit hindi ako si Nevaeh mag-i-stay ako rito kahit bilang katulong. Charr lang. Gagraduate pa nga pala ako, ano bang pinag-iisip ko, puro kapabayaan.

'ay napansin ata ako'

Tumingin sa akin 'yung lalaki at ngumiti. Confirm, pogi talaga siya, mas pogi siya kaysa doon sa fake niyang mukha.

"I'm sorry for not introducing myself properly earlier, young lady. I am Count Galen Mace Morissipe, Grand Duchess Heisenberg's secretary. It's an honor to serve you"

He smiled, and it felt like flowers suddenly bloomed around him. He's really handsome; no one can deny that.

As I can't move nor open my mouth. I can't even say anything, even a nod. Pero sa tingin ko naman alam niya na 'yun nung tumango siya sa akin na parang iniintindi ang katahimikan ko.

But now that I realize.

Everything really change since that time when I felt we entered a some kind of portal or parang may naramdaman akong mabigat na humihigop sa amin kahit sandali lang.

Nagbago rin ang oras 'nun, na kaninang hapon lang ay biglang naging gabi, ang mapunong daan nagkaroon ng parang pader na may mga rehas na mukhang dugtong sa isang gate.

'Dun na 'yung time na kinausap ni Aunt Darlene si Kuya Galen. Tapos nagbago na ang lahat.

Maybe hindi talaga siya nagsisinungaling na siya si Aunt Darlene, at siya 'yung driver kanina. Well let's say, this is really their true faces and form. With that said.

My conclusion to this is that maybe Kuya Galen's power is something related to transformation, as he was asked. Aunt Darlene, and her power will probably be controlling. As she's been controlling me most of the time. I was in deep thought when the carriage stopped and someone knocked. From outside, I heard someone say

"We're here, madame"

Unang lumabas si Kuya Galen at inalalayan si Aunt Darlene lumabas. Habang ako ay kusang gumagalaw at inalalayan din.

Kailan ba ako makakagalaw sa gusto ko?

Nang makalabas ako sa carriage ay nakaapak sa lupa ay parang nahilo ako bigla at sumama ang pakiramdam. Mukha hindi naman nila ito napansin.

Napatingin naman ako sa malaking bahay na animo ay mansion. Ang laki talaga, at medyo mukhang historical, parang sa castle. Mayroon pang fountain sa gitna at garden sa gilid.

"We extend our most heartfelt welcome to your return, Grand Duchess Darlene Heisenberg. Your absence was deeply felt, and we rejoice at your safe return." they said in unison.
