YELENA TAYLOR

I know Hunter told me to sleep and he'll take care of everything. Pero makikinig ba 'ko? Siyempre hindi.

Tinanggal ko ang kumot sa aking mga paa at bumangon. The pain seemed to be mild compared earlier. I assume it was Droy's doing. My body is not in its condition yet but I can still move.

Dahan-dahan akong lumabas at sinara ang pinto, sinisigurado na hindi ako makagawa nang ingay baka may tao pa. My feet moved lightly, tiptoeing, avoiding any noise. Nahanap ko rin agad ang stairs pataas at dumiretso.

I went outside the bakery and Droy was right. Napuno ng mga halimaw ang Bertha City. Ngunit wala akong makitang ni isang tao. Maybe the boys have evacuated them.

I hid in the dark alleys in order to avoid any monsters. Alam kong naghahanda na si Hunter para ma-cancel ang Oblatio. The least I could do is to guard the Scepter and stop it from breaking. Even though I have no idea what to do. I'm sure the others are busy fighting the monsters.

"Found you!" Napatingin ako sa taas at nakita si Catalina na lumilipad, hawak ang twin blades niya. "Akala mo matatakasan mo ko?"

I attempted to summon the Skyfall Blade but it won't come out. It seems I run out of power. Shit. Tumakbo ako sa mga corners ng small alleys at nasilayan ang Valerian Tower.

Catalina chased me with incredible speed. She could barely touch me. Napatigil ako sa pagtakbo nang malagpasan niya ako at hinarang ang daan.

She struck her twin blades in my direction. But before it could hit me, someone fell from the sky, releasing ice to block her attack. He landed in front of me, then released another set of ice to push Catalina away.

Kahit nakatalikod siya, nakilala ko naman agad. "North?"

Lumingon siya sa akin at binigyan ako ng tipikal na ngiti niya na parang anghel. "Thought you might need some help."

"North Hartford, one of the famous students from Enchant Academy," Catalina stated.

Bumalik ang tingin ni North sa kanya. "Anong kailangan mo kay Yelena?"

Nag-smirk si Catalina. "We have a battle to settle."

Sinenyasan ako ni North na umalis at binalik ang tingin kay Catalina. Although I hate to owe him, there's no way I have time to fight with Catalina. Kaya't sinunod ko siya at tumakbo papunta sa Valerian Tower.

"Come back here, bitch!" Akmang susundan niya ako nang hinarangan siya ni North at inatake.
