Fire Heart: Her Secret

Chapter 29

Daniella's POV

Tahimik lang kaming kumakain. I'm not sure what's going on with them, but they did told me about the new students. What do I do if what they warned me about is true? Maybe I shouldn't focus too much on them. Maybe my friends are wrong right? They're just new, nothing will happen.

Pagkatapos namin kumain ay nagpaalam ako sa kanila para pumunta sa Library since wala kaming klase ngayon. "Babantayan ka namin." Seryosong sabi ni William pero umiling lang ako at ningitian sila. "Hindi na, walang mangayayari sakin. Trust me." I reassured. Napatingin silang lahat sa isa't isa bago bumaling sa akin at napabuntong hininga.

"Sige, basta mag iingat ka." Ngumiti si Irene sakin at hinawakan ang kamay ko. May gumapang na tubig sa aking braso and a star tattoo formed. "If you're in danger, iilaw ang tattoo na yan at tatakbo kami para iligtas ka." Tumango ako. They are making every effort to ensure that nothing bad happens to me. I wouldn't be surprised if they put me under surveillance. "Sige, mauna na ako sa inyo." Tumalikod ako sa kanila at lumakad palayo.

Pagdating ko sa library ay agad ako naghanap ng librong magandang basahin. I go from shelf to shelf, looking for a book that catches my attention, only to find a glowing book. What the heck?Nanlaki ang mata ko ng makita ang pamagat ng libro. "Daughter of the Prophecy." Agad ko itong kinuha at pinunasan ko ang alikabok. I didn't bother returning to the vacant chairs. Instead, I'd like to read it quietly here.

Binuksan ko ang libro dahilan para lumakas ang liwanag nito. Napapikit ako ng saglit. Ilang minuto ay nawala ang liwanag. I flipped through a few pages before coming to a halt on one that caught my eye.

The day will come when everyone will realize
Her wrath and true power; 
She will be feared and valued.

"The day will arrive?" Tanong ko sa aking sarili pero may narinig akong yabag ng paa patungo sa aking direksyon kaya napalingon ako at nakita sina Jesslyn at Danika, hindi kalayuan sa akin. Nakangiti silang dalawa. Alam kong naramdaman nilang nakatingin ako sa kanila kaya lumapit sila sa akin.

"Hello. Classmates tayo diba?" Tanong ni Jesslyn at tumango ako. "I guess kilala mo na kami. What's your name pala?" Tanong ni Danika. Both of them look so innocent, it's hard to believe that they could be a threat to us soon. "I am Daniella San Jose." Ngumiti ako bahagya. Nilahad nila ang kanilang kamay kaya inalok ko ang mga kamay nila. I suddenly felt a shiver run down my back, and I looked at both of them. What was that?

"Masaya kaming makilala ka Daniella." Sandaling nawala ang ngiti ko. Their smiles, it looks fake to me. "Same to you." Ikli kong ani sa kanila. "I was wondering kung pwede mo kaming samahan na maghanap ng magandang libro dito, Daniella." I suppose I can check on them now that they seem suspicious to me, and this is a good time to do so. I grinned at them while clutching the book tightly.

"Sure, why not?" I answered as I lead them to one of my favorite book shelfs. Habang naglalakad kami, napatingin ako sa libro na nasa aking kamay.What was the purpose of having this book on display? This book's content is something that everyone should not be aware of just yet. Who put this up there? What is the reason for this?

The girls were still reading after an hour had elapsed. I sighed softly and rose to my feet, prompting them and turn to face me. "Una muna ako sa inyo, may gagawin pa kasi ako." Pilit kong ngiti sa kanila at tinalikuran sila. They didn't do anything suspicious today so maybe I should just leave them for now. Bago ako umalis, pumunta muna ako sa librarian na ngayo'y natutulog.

"Umm excuse me?"

Nakarinig ako ng hikab. Bumaling sakin ang librarian. "Anong kailangan mo?" Base from her tone, its obvious that she still needs a lot of sleep. Itaas ko ang libro para makita niya. "Hihiramin ko muna to." Tumango siya kaya nakaalis ako agad.
