MYTH ||Universe of Four Gods Series|| Book 2

💠Chapter 22💠

"Ahm, did you bring some rope?" Inosenting tanong ko.

They looked at me incredulously like I spout something nonsense and to make it short, there is only one way to enter and it is to jump!

"I don't want to die yet." Naisambit ko na lang.

"Are you scared?" Nababaghang tanong ni Violet.

"Who wouldn't be? That is freaking deep and seems endless." Sagot ko naman. Sigurado ako ang landing ko niyan ay para na akong basong basag na basag.

"You are fearless facing a demon and this, you are having a knee jerk?" Di pa rin makapaniwalang tanong ni Violet. She looks like she is having fun with my misery.

"Those two are completely different thing! This is suicide!" But without any warning someone pushed me and I found myself falling.

"Aaahhhhhh!" I released a long ear piercing scream. My heart was in a race and I am freaking scared to hell. I am not seeing anything and it is pitch black. "Ohhhhhh mmmyyyy goooooooddddddd." I screamed again. My tears is already pooling and flying, I am about to meet death. And whoever pushed me, mumultuhin ko talaga.

The fall was already more than a minute and I still did not meet the end. The fall seems endless and my insides were already writhing. Tinalo ko pa ang sumakay ng ride dito buwiset! But suddenly, I felt an arm snaked around my waist. I manage to look but I can't see the face.

"Scaredy cat." Turan naman ng kilala ko na boses.

"Yuan?" Di makapaniwalang saad ko. The fall became slower and I was positioned in an comfortable way.

I snaked my both arms around his neck as he cling to my waist. Wala akong pakialam kung ano man ang posisyon na ito basta ayoko pang mamatay, period.

"That was so funny Snow. I never know you can scream that long." Natatawang saad naman ni Luna.

"That was not funny! I almost died!" Emosyonal na sagot ko naman. "But why are you so relax? Aren't you afraid that we are going to die?"

"Tsk. First years." Komento naman ni Jin.

"We are not going to die because we will fly." Sagot naman ni Violet.

"Fly?" I uttered and the moment I said that, the place lit and I saw wings! Yuan's got wings that is made of fire and resembles with phoenix, while Jin got White Wings, Avis got green wings, Luna got yellow wings and Violet got blue wings. They are made of their elements fire, wind, earth, light and water. "How did you do that?" I was flapping like fish. I think it was mentioned before that we will learn about flying on our next year.

"You'll learn when you are on your 2nd year." Sagot naman ni Avis. "This is really cool."

"It's super cool!" Saad ko naman and I am still clinging to Yuan.

"Having a good time there Yuan." Komento naman ni Luna na nakangisi pa talaga yung gaga.

Yuan did not even react. I felt his arms hold onto me tighter.

"I bet someone is wishing this fall will not end. Hahaha." Natatawang saad naman ni Avis.

Hindi ko sila maintindihan. Why they are bullying Yuan? Why would Yuan is having a good time when he is actually caring a baggage (me)?

"Stop spouting nonsense. We are almost there." Saad nito at ilang segundo nga lang I heard a small thud means we landed.

My heart was beating so fast and felt like my legs turned into jelly. Kaya hindi agad ako bumitiw kay Yuan kahit nakalapag na kami. I am still finding my strength nawala kasi 'ata lahat ng lakas ko dahil sa lintik na pagkakahulog na iyon.

I felt more embarrassed when I just realized out position. In one look, we are embracing! For the love of God, forgive me! I saw the snicker on Luna and Avis face while Violet was pretending to see nothing and Jin was facing backwards. These people are impossible, imbes na tulungan nila ako ay nanunudyo pa!

"Are you okay?" Mahinang tanong naman ni Yuan sa akin.

God, I can smell his minty breath and it drives me crazy! Sana mabaho na lang ang hininga nito para mawala itong pesteng nararamdaman ko at nang maturn-off na ako rito. But no, it seems like it was a fuel added to the fire.

"I feel like my legs are turned into jelly." Sagot ko naman rito. Totoo naman kasi, nawalan ako ng lakas o tinakasan 'ata ako ng lakas dahil sa sobrang takot kanina.

"You want me to carry you?" Tanong nito.

My eyes went wide. Did he just offer to carry me? This jerk?

"No thanks." Agad ko naisagot and I was finding my will to feel my legs and in a matter of seconds, I can already feel my legs. "I think I can stand now." Saad ko at bumitiw ako kay Yuan. He released me slowly and seems hesitating to let me go, but still he did.

"Are you finish guys?" Tanong naman ni Avis.

"If we won't hurry, there will be no eggs left for us." Saad naman ni Luna.

"Lets go." Saad ni Yuan and he turned again into his cold facade.

I will never, ever forget this experience. Not in a million years.
