Kabanata 1:
Who The Hell Is Ezeli?

"Lady Ezeli!"

She felt cold. Shoot. Ba't ang ginaw?

She didn't open her eyes but she knew that she's alive. The only thing that bothers her is, there is someone around her that keeps her calling Ezeli. Or is it her she was calling for? Still she didn't open her eyes.

"Lady Ezeli?"

Dahan-dahang binuksan ni Amethyst ang kanyang mga mata. Sa una ay medyo malabo pero di rin nagtagal ay luminaw na ang kanyang paningin.

The first thing she saw as she opened her eyes were the amazing rose design of the ceiling. It feels like it's real, she thought. Then she roamed her gaze around and stops as she stare at someone who she obviously doesn't know (Since she doesn't have parents and relatives). Maybe a nurse? She thought.

"L-Lady Ezeli?"

Amy stare at her. Kita niya kung paano ito mag-alala and at the same time, takot? She's seriously confuse. Who is she? And who the hell is Ezeli?

"Lady Ezeli, o-okay lang po ba kayo?" Tanong nito sa kanya.

Speaking of, sasagot sana siya ngunit biglang sumakit ang kanyang ulo at naramdaman niya ang pananakit ng kanyang katawan na parang galing lang siya sa isang aksidente. And yes, she knew na galing nga siya sa aksidente ngunit hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit nandoon siya at tinatawag siyang Ezeli. Where is she? Nasa ospital ba siya?

"A-ano pong nangyayari sayo? T-teka lang po tatawagin ko ang iyong ina!"

The pain is killing me. Shoot.

"Ezeli? Ezeli! Anong nangyayari sayo?! Maids! Tumawag kayo ng doktor. Bilisan niyo!"

She couldn't take the pain. It seriously pains her specially her head. The pain even suffocates her. What the hell is happening to me? She couldn't bare it to the point she shout in pain.

"Bilisan niyo please! Doktor! Oh my, ang anak ko!"

Dahan-dahang lumabo ang kanyang paningin. She's so close on fainting but still she tried to fight it. She saw how worried the people around her specially the older woman. Who are they?

She smelled something funny. Hah, an organic sleeping powder. Dahan-dahan siyang kumalma and the next thing happen, her vision were covered by the darkness.

AMETHYST open her eyes. She saw the rose design of the ceiling again at medyo napatawa, hindi niya akalain na hanggang ngayon ay nasa panaginip pa rin siya. O baka patay na siya? She tried to remember what happened. Medyo masakit ang kanyang ulo at katawan pero hindi na katulad ng kanina.

"Tulad ng kanina?" She asked. Nagising ang kanyang diwa at napatayo. She roamed her gaze around and now she's sure.

"Nasaan ako!?" Sigaw niyang tanong as if na may sasagot sa kanya. Everything around her is something... surreal. The things inside is somewhat exaggerated. Like she's inside the castle!

Umalis siya sa malaking higaan at pumunta sa malaking salamin sa di kalayuan. Napatulala siya sa kanyang nakita at sinubukang pinroseso sa kanyang utak.

"A-AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

"Lady Ezeli! Ano pong nangyari?!"

"Ezeli, anak! Okay ka lang?"

Napatingin siya sa babaeng pamilyar, o ang babaeng nakita niya kanina bago siya nahimatay.

"Anak? Okay ka lang? Halika, umupo ka muna." Hindi sumagot si Amethyst. She quietly sit beside the woman. Pinoproseso pa rin niya sa utak kung anong nangyayari. Her face...
