Sinclaire Academy: Half Bloods

Chapter Eight: Curious little thing

"Why?"

"Just do it."

"When I said I want something interesting I didn't mean na ibili mo ko ng libro about sa hundred year old place and dialect!" Napakamot ng ulo si Aiane. "Do you know how hard Varsyione is? Ang tagal ko na kayang nagpapaturo kay Papa 'non yet I still can't get the hang of it!"

"Translated na 'yan diba?" He rolled his eyes at his sister.

"Oo nga pero may mga term pa rin dito na hindi ko maiintindihan. I'm not a child genius." Aiane snorted but then sighed. "Come to think of it, matagal na kong curious about Mermont. It used to have a colorful history like Hangrove but the Society focused on our place than there."

"What are you two talking about?" They both jumped at the voice of their Mother.

"What do you know about Mermont, Mama?" Tanong agad ni Aiane nang maupo ito sa tabi niya.

"Well, Sa mg school, including Sinclaire Academy, hindi tinuturo ang history ng Mermont and also Varsyione. Some say it's because of what happened to the place, it was so tragic na ayaw nang balikan ng iba so the next generation, ours and yours, know less about it. I don't really know much because wala namang mahahanapan na kung ano about sa Mermont, meron namang books but I think they don't sell those stuff anymore."

"But have you ever been to Mermont, Mama?" Tanong ni Zeus.

"No, but yung Papa mo ata naka punta na don. Explorer yon e."

"Where's Papa?" Tanong agad ni Aiane.

"Curious little thing, aren't you?" Tawa ni Adrianna sa anak. "Andon sa kwarto namin, tawagin mo."

Aiane dashed and a second later she's back with their Father behind her.

"Is this a meeting?" Natatawang tanong ni Senri nang makita si Zeus at Adrianna na naka upo sa lapag ng Veranda.

"I want you to tell me about Mermont, Papa." Aiane said. Zeus silently listened. He knew Aiane's curiosity can lead to somewhere, hihintayin nalang niya ang mga malalaman nito.

They went home that night, nakaligtaan na nga ni Zeus na kailangan pala nilang bumalik ng Academy. He had to carry a sleeping Aiane to their dorm. It was already 9 pm, halos lahat ng students ay naka balik na. He wondered what the others did habang wala silang magkapatid.

Nang lumabas na siya ng kwarto ni Aiane he immediately headed to a room na pinagbawalan siyang dayuhin but he couldn't help himself. He stopped in his tracks when he felt that no one was inside, he didn't have to open the door to confirm his theory.

Where was Flame?

He went to Asher's room instead ngunit wala rin ito. His forehead creased, bago pa man siya mag isip ng kung ano ay dumiretso siya sa kwarto ni Ezra at tulad ng dalawa ay wala rin ito.

"They're at the cemetery."

He jumped when he heard Seige's voice.

"Is it your hobby to sneak up on everyone?" Zeus said landing his hand on his chest dahil totoong nagulat siya rito. Ilang beses na kasi nitong ginawa ito sa kanya and it always gets him everytime.

"You're a Vampire." Seige raised her brow at him. "I just caught you off guard."

"Where are you heading?" He asked her instead.

"Cemetery. Ezra requested my presence."

She sounded like a servant but Zeus shrugged it off. He got used to her voice.

Kung naroon rin naman ang kanyang mga kaibigan, doon na rin siya pupunta. He wasn't really tired, si Aiane lang talaga ang napagod dahil sa kakasalita at kakatanong. Para nga silang nagkaroon ng mock debate, they were talking about History. It was very unusual yet fun. Their Father won of course, much to their Mother's charging. Aiane learned a lot and that's all that matters. He did learn a few things too but had to dig some more kung gusto niya talaga malaman ang tungkol sa Mermont. It was a place off limits after all. Kahit sa mapa ay wala na rin ito.
