Magnus Academy: The Cursed Blood

Chapter Fifty-Three

A Match Againt The Unknowns

"I will surrender."

He said which surprised me, ganoon din si Ciel na ngayon ay nasa tabi ko na. Dapat nga maging masaya pa ako dahil sumuko siya and that would mean I just have to fight Ciel and get over with all of these. Pero bakit parang hindi ako payag sa desisyon niya? I feel like it's not right. He's the one who has the big upper hand kumpara sa amin, and what's worse, everyone in this whole arena knows about that. Pero susuko nalang siya? I don't know why this annoys me.

Before Thomas could get here to confirm things, sabay kaming umatake ni Ciel papunta sa direksyon niya but we stopped nang pinapalibutan ang sahig ng bilog na shadow. It paralyze us at hindi kami makakagalaw.

"I wouldn't stop me if I were you." Wika niya nalang. He's few feets ahead of us and if I could just grab him.

"Don't you dare surrender! Huwag kang duwag!" I think it's quite obvious who yelled that.

"Hindi ibig sabihin na susuko ka na ay duwag ka na. It also means you're thinking about other people." Ibig bang sabihin kinakaawaan niya lang kami? Tss.

Bago pa man ako makapagsalita, nagulat ako nang lumulubog ang paa ko na para bang nilalamon ako ng shadow, it's the same case as Ciel.

"Kung magiging makulit kayo, bibigyan ko kayo ng pagkakataon. Lalabanan ko kayo kung makakatakas kayo." Hindi ko siya maintindihan.

But before I knew it, my visions were filled with darkness. Wala akong makita kundi kadiliman lang. It must have been his shadow magic. Everything around me is too quiet. Kahit ano mang sigaw ko ay tiyak na walang makakarinig nito.

I could hear my own heart beating sa sobrang tahimik. My breath echoes along the silence. Damn...hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin. Hindi ako makakapag-isip ng maayos.  Something's bothering me in my mind. It makes me remember all sorts of things.

My heart was throbbing. Ang sakit. Nakakatakot. Wala akong makita kundi kadiliman. My eyes were swollen from crying and my voice was breaking dahil sa pagsisigaw na wala manlang makakarinig. I gave up on hope from escaping this place.

The cold air swept the room. Ni hindi ko alam kung saan nagmumula ang malamig na hangin. I shivered when the cold air made contact with my skin. To make myself erase that coldness, I hugged my knees tight.

I wished I was normal. I wished I was the same as others. Was it my fault I was born like this? I don't deserve this pain pero bakit ako nasasaktan? Why did it has to be me? Then my emotions became stable. I learned how to control it perfectly as if I don't have any emotions at all.

The door creaked opened, which seldomly just happen, and it revealed a man. It was dark I couldn't see his face well, pero nakikilala ko ang mga matang meron siya.

"Sorry for waiting..." he said caressing my face.

My ability caused me too much pain. Being able to feel billions of emotions, letting them surge inside of me, feeling every last one of them, made me loose myself. Hindi ko kinaya na sinubukan ko ng patayin ang sarili ko ng ilang beses. Pero hindi ko alam kung bakit buhay parin ako.

They put me inside a room. That room had some blocking magic and I was relieved that I was spared from the pain I was feeling. Wala na akong mararamdaman. Pero natatakot akong lumabas sa kwartong yun, hindi ko kakayanin.
