The Cursed Eye [Available on Dreame]

🔯-XLVII-🔯

Pinilit kong kinalma ang sarili ko habang tuluyan na bumagsak ang luha ko pagkasara ko ng pinto. I don't know what's wrong and i don't know how to explain it, I do know crying helps me get through whatever the hell is wrong with me.

Sumigaw ako nang sumigaw hanggang sa maramdaman kong paos na ko. I cant believe that the person who supposed to be the protector of the clan is the person who wants to destroy it.

I wont let anyone to lay their hands on my clan, the clan that my parents and grandparents protected. I wont let them destroy my clan. And my eyes are starting to close.

Acadil's POV

"Hindi ba natin sya papakalmahin?" Taning ni Meilin sakin habang nakahawak sa kamay ko "Pang maraming beses na to eh"

Tiningnan ko naman sya. Pang maraming beses?

"Anong ibig mo sabihin?"

"I saw her devastated at first nung huli na kami nang makarating sa bahay nyo. She look so wasted that time, she doesnt want to and she wants to kill every denim she'll encounter. She had this urge to kill anyone she hate." Paliwanag nya sakin.

My mind drift into some time that I cant understand. It happened once when were young but our mother had something done to her to calm her unluckily I dont know.

"Her Demon's blood is ready to release" napatingin naman kami sa lalaking kakaratkng lang "Pero pinipigilan nya kaya nasasaktan sya. Every time her emotions eat her, her demon side will take it over."

"But she doesnt have that side" pag poprotesta ko. "When were little she always a cheerful and bubbly girl, a good girl."

"That good girl is a lie." Napatigil naman ako sa sinabi ni Eduard.

"What do you mean?" -Meilin

"That good girl is the bad one. She is the reflection of your attitude. Once you become bad she became bad but when you're good then she's good. Her action are based on how your attitude to her."

That girl is a lie or he is lying? Anong paniniwalaan ko? Umalis silang dalawa at ako na lang ang naiwan sa harap ng pinto ni Avabil.

"Avabil?" Tawag ko kahit alam kong hindi naman sya sasagot "I'm here already you dont have to take it alone" dagdag ko pa. "I promise to our parent that I'll protect you and never let you alone" huminga ako ng malalim para pigilan ang pag patak ng luha ko "If you feeling down, I'm here. If you're hurt, I'm here. I wont leave you alone again, Avabil."

"You probably hate me now, Acadil"

"Why would I hate you? Even if there is a countless reason I wont hate you"

"You dont understand" pasigaw nyang sabi at bumuntong hininga naman ako.

"I wont understand if you dont want to tell me what's the problem." I heard a sob.

Bahagyang bumukas ang pinto at pumasok naman ako nakita ko si Avabil nakahiga sa kama kaya naman naglakad ako papunta doon at umupo sa tabi nya.

"Its hurting me when there is something I can't do for our clan. Its breaks my hear and I am afraid to lose it" naawa tuloy ako sa kapatid ko.

Bata pa sya para sa ganito and to be honest sya ang may pinaka ayaw sa ganitong posisyon pero wala syang nagawa kundi ang sundin ito.

"Pain makes you stronger. Fear makes you braver. Heartbreaks make you wiser." Sabi ko at hinaplos ang buhok nya "A lot of shit also happens to me, I just don't talk about it, I smile and pretend that all is fine, because that's life, Avabil."

Inangat nya kaunti ang ulo nya at sapat lang na makita kong namumugto ang mga mata nya.

"What should I do?"

"Smile." And then umupo sya sa harap ko "Never let the problems destroy you." Dagdag ko pa.

"I'm tired"

"Sleep and rest, Avabil but never quit."

I lay her down to her bed and wait until she already sleep. Lumabas ako sa kwarto nya at nagtungo sa kwarto namin ni Meilin.

'Nawala ka na naman sa sarili mo' nag aalalang sabi sakin ni Cephenrene at nag nod lang naman ako sa kanya. 'Okay ka na ba?'

"Medyo. Tinulungan ako ni ate eh. Her words slaps me"

'Should I slap you more?'

"Nah I dont need it"

'Here' at binigyan nya ulit ako ng tea at biscuit.

This food calm me a bit at least kahit papaano may nagpapakalma pa sa akin bukod kay mommy.

'Ano nang plano mo?'

"Babawiin ko ang amin Cephenrene."

'Sigurado na ba yan?' Nag nod ako at humigop ng tea 'And then?'

"I'm ready to rule my clan" she smiled at me and clap her hands.

'Finally. Thank you for accepting your faith, Avabil' walang gana naman akong nag nod.

Iminulat ko ang mga mata ko at nakaramdam ako ng pananakit ng ulo. Maybe because I cried a lot last night so my mind kinda heavy right now also my eyes. Its big and red.

I hate it when I cry this is what happened. Nang lumabas ako sa kwarto pagkatapos ko maligo at magbihis ay sinamahan ako ng maid papunta sa dinning room at nakita ko naman sila doon.

Walang gana akong umupo at hindi sila pinansin basta kumain lang ako. Wala ako sa mood para makipag usap sa kanila.

"Are you okay?" I just nod as an answer.

"Mag relax ka muna Avalene hindi naman mangyayari ang plano nila eh" sabi ni King Eduard ew I call him king.

"Just because it's not happening right now, doesn't mean it never will." Walang gana kong sabi at tumayo "Were going back to taikanious."

"Pero hindi nyo pa nakikita ang pictures." Sabi ng hari at tiningnan ko naman sya.

"Okay fine were heading back to our world when we saw that picture" a satisfied smile form to his face as I sigh. "Consider this, nothing would be the same if you did not exist. Everyone you have ever spoken to would be different without you."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Tanong ko at nagkibit balikat lang naman sya.
