Journey To Agartha

Chapter 16

Chapter 16

"Loriettaaaa!." Connor shouted as he draught towards me.

Natawa ako at kinabig agad ang kamay niya at para kaming mga batang nagtatalunan. We both jump in circles habang tumatawa ng malakas. Seriously, it's gonna be great having them around.

Lorcan coughed. "Lori, can I talk to you for a second?."

Parang narealize ni Connor na para na pala siyang bata sa pagtalon talon at tumigil. Umubo siya at inayos ang laylayan ng kaniyang suot na polo. Oh damn, how I missed this immortal.

He glanced at Lorcan. "Sure you can talk to the lady." He formally stated.

Natawa ako at pinag ekis ang aking mga braso. Tinaasan ko ng kilay si Connor saka umiling. Tumakbo sa akin si Perse at niyakap ako ng mahigpit. She recovered fast and well. Bumalik na ang dating kulay ng kaniyang mahabang buhok.

"I missed you!." She said.

"I missed you too, Perse!." She smiled at me and nodded.

Niyakap ako ng mga successors saka pumasok sa kani kanilang kwarto na katabi lamang ng akin. Hindi katulad nung sa mansyon namin sa ikaapat na wall ay sobrang layo ng mga kwarto nila sa isa't isa.

"Lorcan." I called him.

Nakasuot ang kaniyang mga kamay sa bulsa niya ng lumapit siya sa akin. He bowed and that made me cringed at first pero hindi ko nalang pinansin. Prophecy's granddaughter huh?

"We should plan about your wedding now." He stated.

Kumunot ang noo ko.

"You knew yourself I won't do this." Sigurado kong sagot.

Dahil kahit anong gawin ko, ayaw magbukas ng puso ko sa magiging hari. Hindi ko man maramdaman na mahal ko na talaga si Zeus ng gamito kabilis ay mayroon paring lukso ng dugo na sa kaniya ko lang nararamdaman. Dahil ako ay pinadala dito para sa kanya.

Lorcan looked around. He checked if there was someone who's listening.

"You also knew yourself Maximo wouldn't take this as a hindrance. He will still push this plan even if he knew you're mated to someone else." He shook his head. "Even if it's his brother."

My mouth opened for a second but I recovered quickly. I sighed. Hinila ko si Lorcan sa isang mas isolated pa na lugar sa salas. He raised his eyebrow at me.

Tumikhim ako. "What's the plan?."

With that, he grinned.

Hindi ko alam kung gagana ba ang napaka talinong plano ni Lorcan. All this time I knew him as a bookworm, nerd, the brain of the group and other genius terms. Damn, I already changed my impression on him!

First impression sucks.

"Eat the veggies, Lorietta. Zeus doesn't want to come home with his lady not healthy." Ulysses commented.

I sighed as I'm playing with the veggies in my plate with my fork.

Katabi ko si Uly at nasa kabila naman ay si Remus. He quietly digest the food and he elegantly wiped his mouth. Ang magkabangayan ngayon na si Perse at Connor ay malapit ng batukan ng kanilang ina.

"Come on, kids, the lady's staring at you two." She said.

Napa ayos ako ng upo nun ng tignan nila ako. I coughed awkwardly.

"I-uhm,madame it's okay.." I said.

Connor grunted. "She's used to this, mommy. She wouldn't care!."
