Samantha
Im not used to this kind of peaceful kingdom, more like this kind of world. I used to see people are dying infront of me, i even see girls being raped by someone randomly multiple times. It wasnt a good environment while im growing up.
I am one of their soldier, i fight with them and kill innocent people without even thinking, if i dont do that they will kill me i need to survive hoping to see my real world someday.
It wasnt hard for me to adjust, as much as possible i help myself up to cope up with this world, i dont need anyone's help as i grew up depending only to myself, i learned to not trust people.
For one moment i stopped when i heard a knock from my door, "Samantha, hinahanap ka ni Avery, he's here" Mom sneaked her head to my door
"Let him in mom" Ako
Nagulat ako ng may yumakap sakin from the back, my mom is still there looking at us. Hindi pa din umaalis.
The cold prince is here, "hey what's the problem?" I asked him, i have always heard so much things about them especially him when i was still there in that hell.
Girls admires them so much, i actually onced saw them when i was in a mission, i was sent to hunt them because they were to protected by their kingdom that i couldnt even kill each on of them, they're famous to be killed.
"Wanna go out with me?" Avery asked me, my mom made a noise na parang teenager kiligin sa may pintuan ko.
We both looked at my cute mom out there, "Opsie! Sorry, enjoy your date!" Mom slammed my door and she run out
"The Queen is so cute" Avery commented, i smiled at him as agree
We will go outside the Kingdom, last time he brought me outside the Academy to see the whole Kingdom, i dont call date? coz i know he brought many girls outside and its good for me too, to see the kingdom where im living with.
"I'll wait for you outside, make it fast baka mamiss kita." before he left he kissed me on my head and left cheek
Its not a big deal to me, he does that to every girls in his team. Though i havent seen it but i saw some people like him do that so i wont buying it and maybe he's doing that because he will marry me in the future, that's what the book said.
I changed my clothes into a comfortable one. I went don stairs and there i saw my parents talking to him, they're agreeing into something na naputol dahil nakita ako papalapit sakanila.
"Please take care of her, ive been protective over her so much ayoko syang mawala pa ulit saakin." My Dad
I can take care of myself hindi ko kailangan ng kahit sino to protect me, not even him or anyone who's powerful in this world. As much as i want to tell them that i can do it that i dont need anyone they wont listen but i know and i do understand that they're just trying to help me with all those years that im alone somehow they want me to feel them that i need them a bit in my life.
"I will take care of her." Avery handed me his hand bago kami umalis ng palasyo.
He held my hands not that tight while walking to his car, he opened the door for me and slowly helped me to went inside, i stopped breathing when he came closer to me, my heart beats a little fast when our eyes met.
Im trying to distance myself because it feels awkward, "your seat belt baby." Avery gave me a quick kiss on my nose saka inayos ang seat belt ko
"Saan ba tayo pupunta?" tanong ko nung nakalayo na kami sa Academy
"Ice Kingdom. You want to be there right?" He looked at me sideways and gave me a sexy wink
Sinampal ko nga ng marahan ang yabang akala mo gwapo, humalhak lang sya saka naman ako tumahimik, its one of my bucket list na puntahan ang Ice Kingdom even other kingdoms too pero hindi ko alam papunta, they said i can ask the superiors kung gustuhin ko, maybe i'll try that one next time.
The superiors were really good, aside from they're good looking magagaling talaga sila. I knew it because i once observed them, they were really good. I look outside when he stopped the car. Nandito kami sa runway.
Bumaba ako ng sasakyan saka sya tinabihan, a guy came out with his uniform. "The weather is good safe for the Empress on board." Harrison and other guy went out to give the informations
I knew the two of them, they were introduced to me as one of Avery's guardians while he's staying here in our Kingdom. Hawak hawak ni Avery ang bewang ko guiding me to go up stairs to get inside the plane.
Last time i rode one it was my mission. I was sent to fight with Airforce back then, memories went back all of a sudden, napahinto ako to erase it, hindi pwedeng palagi ko naalala ang mga bagay bagay sa nakaraan.
Dahan dahan kong dinilat ang mga mata ko, "hey! Youre okay, youre safe." Avery's hand went to my face and touched it
He hugged me trying to protect me, the whole ride i was just holding his hide tightly na ayaw kong bitawan, i dont know i feel like his hand habang inaantok.
I woke up with cold, ang lamig ng paligid causing me to realize na nasa Ice Kingdom na kami. Avery handed me a new thick coat para hindi manigas sa lamig, i got excited to go out!
Halos patakbo ang pagbaba ko sa eroplano pero he caught me with arms, "madulas ang daan you might slip." Pagpapaalala nya
Im wearing boots at okay naman hindi naman madulas but still i did careful pa din knowing that na baka madulas nga ako. We walked going into the palace, hindi naman malayo. Hapon na kaya people are outside some are ready to go home. They greeted us nung nakita kami.
"So this is how it looks like now!" I run at the middle where the snow are, i spread my arms trying to catch some small snowflakes.
I was skipping and running. Its fun! I even rolled down and played with the snow! This is my first time seeing a snow! I saw Avery talking to someone, kalaunan ay pinanuod nya ako saka nilapitan.
"That's enough, the King and Queen are looking for us. Lets go" he handed me his arm saka tinulungan na alisin ang snow na kumapit sa buhok ko at coat ko
"Ang saya dito! Bring me here every other day." while cleaning the snow
"Sure, you can. You are the Empress, any request you say we will gladly do, love." Sya
This guy, napailing ako. "You called me baby now you called me love. Stop it, people might think you like me."
Hindi sya nakasagot at nagulat pa dahil sa sinabi ko, guys nowadays! "Why? Girls loves it when they called by that." Sya
"And im not with those girls." i rolled my eyes and laugh at him
I get that he's trying to be nice, he's gentle, he's sweet and caring but i know she does that too with other girls, ive been with guys like him i must say its a waste of time.
Sabay kaming pumasok sa palasyo, he grabbed my arm carefully. "Samantha, just pretend that we're in good terms already will you do that for me?" he whispered
"sure, i'll help you" hindi ko sya pinansin saka binawi yung braso ko mula sa pagkakahawak nya.
Is this for his royalty im okay with it, if he will marry im okay with if not im okay with. I can actually break the arrangement now, i dont give a fuck about it! Hindi ko na hiniling ang bagay na iyan, i was just wishing na mabuhay ako to see my sister and my family yun lang.
"Oh! We didnt know that you'll be here, i mean..wow!" his Mom, i met her nung una kong nagising sa Warrior
"Hello tita, im sorry for the sudden visit i just want to see the Kingdom." I smiled at her
"No no no, it's okay! You look so good together!" His mom came to me and hugged me, she gave me kisses too same to her son
"She wants to see the kingdom, Mom." Avery
"Oh my! Of course sure! kumain muna kayo before going out." hi Mom
The King is here too, i bowed to him and he just gave me a smile, nakatingin silang dalawa saamin. Avery let me choose the food i want to eat.
The maid was about to give me cold orange juice, "warm orange juice for her." Avery stopped her
He chose the food for me, i smiled when he knew what kind of food i want to eat. Seems like he memorized the food i want to eat huh.
"I never seen you like that son," The King looks so proud of him. "huh?" he is confused now na kinatawa ko, he's just so cute
After that we roamed around the Kingdom, all of the people knew that i am the Empress so they always stopped and greeted me some even bowed at us to show respect.
I saw some kids are playing with the snow, i wanted to join them pero baka bumalik na din kami maya maya sa Warrior. And i was right, after we roamed around this beautiful kingdom we will go home, the sun went down already so i badly need to go home.
I was asleep the whole time, nagising nalang ako ng madali araw ng nasa kwarto na ako. Avery didnt wake me up mukang dinala na nya ako dito ng tulog.
The next days, i didnt go out. I stayed inside my room, they send me invitations for the Princess which is my sister but i refused, she's not my sister why would i join them?
The so called Princess is staying now here inside the palace, she doesnt know that im living here too, i didnt let her see me but i do see her a lot. I know her, she's from the underworld i always she her while im staying there for years.
Every night i always visit the hospital to see everyone, it breaks my heart seeing them having a hard time to live, i know im not allowed to heal them but just like me i used to wish for another life i dont want them to feel that way.
I can help so i did, i know its not allowed but i dont care, i break rules many times i faced death so i dont mind being punished by doing good deeds, ive been punished from doing bad things now that im good im not scared.
I met people in the hospital, i knew some of them because i always see them inside the palace making potions. And i saw Princess Aria the daughter of King Jonas. I dont know if she know me i bet now, siguro oo because i am the Empress.
Their friend is in there laying down and fighting for her life, they all look so sad na kaunti nalang they will cry altogether. I encouraged them to not lose hope, as i am willing to help too! The Head Mistress is there too helping with the operations, if it isnt still working im ready to get inside to help.
And yet she's okay! I was the one who's guarding her while the others are fighting outside mainly because the Antagonist Kingdom is outside ruining my kingdom again, im not yet allowed to be seen by them, they thought im dead and the superiors are very careful of me too.
Morning came i went down stairs, the superiors are here not all of them iilan lang ang nandito. They're having fun in the living room, my eyes darted to him, its been months since i visited his Kingdom i wonder if it will happen again, i looked away and see each one.
Somehow i want to see Venice, checking if she's totally okay, from what happened to her im the one who put army sa may forest, each gate should be at least 20 armed mean guarding each gate.
"Hi Samantha!" They all greeted me. Ngumiti ako sakanila, "just call me Sam, Samantha is too long."
"By the way, i'll be joing the meeting later." Ako, everyday they have it, im okay joing their group now.
"No problem," Ash and his leadership is wholesome.
"May pupuntahan ba tayo?" Jack.
"Lets go to the Academy let's visit her." Ako
"Is the real crown safe?" Anica
"Yes it is safe, im the one who changed the crown during the party"
Umpisa palang alam kong hindi ko sya kapatid kasi hindi parehas ng kwintas. I didn't bother myself to tell anyone about it, its their job to find it out. After studying everything alone just to fit in with this group now im ready.
"We're here" Avery
Pumasok kami agad sa Private Room ng mga superiors, nandito yung iba ang they're all so noisy! Tama nga ang sinabi na maingay at magulo sila.
"Lagi na lang ako a! Si Zyro naman kota na kayo sa pangangasar eh" Miko
"Muka kasing siraulo may pa kamahalan kamahalan ka pa kala mo naman totoong magalang" Jansen
"Magpatulog kayo kanina pa ako inaantok!" Sanji
"Huwag ka munang matulog! Dadalawin nga natin si Venice eh" Zia
"Dalawin nyo dito lang ako" Sanji is laying down under the table na may comforter
"Maiwan ka dito" Alexandria
"Hinihintay lang namin sina Ash, Jack, Avery, Marco, Xander, Yanna and Lianna eh." Miko
Hindi ata nila kami napapansin eh ano nakapikit silang naguusap? Kaya hindi nila kami nakita? I mean madami kaming pumasok?
"Si Avery nasa Empress yun" Drake
Yeah he's right im with Avery he just forgot to mentioned the others.
"Ako kaya sino kaya para saakin?" Zyro na nagisip pa, "ako para ako sayo" Sanji
"Gago! Ikaw lang bakla dito wag mo ako idamay" Zyro
"Si Avery may lovelife na," Anica
"Si Ash din naman wala eh, huwag kang magalala habang wala pa si Leader goods ka pa tsaka lets visit Ice Kingdom one time ang dami pogi dun!" Lianna
"Yeah tama si Lianna, madami ngang pogi duon." pag kumento ko nang bigla silang napatingin saamin.
"Sam!! I missed you!" Tumakbo sya papunta saakin saka ako hinalikan sa pisnge, she's the sweetest nakakatuwa.
"Sana all nakakahalik." yung ibang boys
"Ako nalang hahalik sayo, tara bilis!" Avery
"Yuck! Eto ka" they raised their middle finger infront of Avery
"Kanina pa kayo?" Lianna, i nod my head, "tara dalawin natin si Venice" Ako
Kaya umalis na kami sa PR nila, may mga studyante na nagulat pa kasi ngayon lang nila ako nakita sa labas they were all looked so shocked that i went out.
"Empress masyadong mainit palit tayo pwesto" Drake
Hindi ko naman feel yung init eh, binalutan ako ng yelo netong katabi ko para hindi ako maarawan muka lang wala pero lamig ang nararamdaman ko, "its ok Drake" Ako
Andito kami sa tapat ng dorm nila Jade, hindi pa nga kami nakatok they're all loud for goodness sake! Hindi ko kaya ang ingay nila, my eardrums would give up!
"On the wings of love ~~"
"Magpatulog ka Jade, ang aga aga daig mo pa manok!"
"Pag si Venice magising ilalagay ko kayo sa aqaruim"
"Maganda nga yun para makaligo na sya."
"Ayan hindi ko alam kung makakain ba natin yan ngayon? Sunog nanaman?"
"Wala nanaman tayong makain na matino"
"Maka reklamo ka parang naman kumakain ka nyan, FYI diba kabayo ka at damo kinakain mo?"
"Hindi yun damo, at hindi ako kabaya vegetarian kasi ako"
"Kwento mo kay Mang Isko na walang ligo"
They all laughed at that, "hindi ba sila napagod kasisigaw?" ako
"Gissele parang awa mo na tantanan mo nga muna ako!"
"Eto kasi si Lissana naumpisa"
"Anong ako, Ikaw kaya jan sumunod lang ako"
"Paano ka magugustuhan nyan ni Prince Miko kung hindi ka marunong magluto?"
"Wag ka nga maingay jan!"
Hindi ko naman na sinasadyang tumingin kay Miko, "O makatingin kayo?" Miko
"Miko narinig mo, she likes you daw" Zia
Napailing nalang kami, tapos etong Miko namula
"ikaw nga jan puro damo kinakain paano ka magugustuha nyan ni Prince Zyro, eh hindi malaman kung kambing ka ba o kabayo o tao"
"Ano namang kinalaman ng gulay ko sa poreber ko, tigilan nyo nga ako."
Hindi ko din sinasadyang mapalingon kay Zyro, kala ko naman ako lang but we all looked at him. "Pogi ka naman pala sakanila," Ako
"Nagrereklamo ka kanina na walang may gusto sayo diba? Oh ayan na abot kaya na yan bahala ka ikaw din" Xander na parang binenta ang kaibigan nya
"Eh ikaw Jade sino sayo?"
"Ay ako kilala ko!"
"Si Prince Jack"
Tumawa sila ng malakas, "para kang nagkagusto sa bato."
"Pogi naman ni fafa Jack, naunahan pa ako humanap ng jowa." Jansen
"Panget ka kasi" Jack
"Aba nagsalita ang gwapo" Jansen
"Pogi naman si Kuya eh, eh ikaw kamuka mo yung ilalim ng sapatos" Lianna
Nag doorbell na si Anica, habang nandito pa kami i saw Raze and his group may dalang foods for them, nung binuksan na yung pinto gulat silang ang dami namin dito sa labas.
"Hi! How's Venice?" I asked first
"Pasok po kayo," they opened the door widely, their dorm is quite big kasya kami more so kulang pa nga eh
"Hindi pa po gising si Venice but we're still guiding her naman." by 4 kaming pinuntahan sya sa kwarto nya
Her lips and her face are pale, halatang hinang hina pa. Naka monitor din yung heart beat nya, "just incase if you need a help you can call anyone especially with the group." Ako
Tumango silang apat saakin, i checked their rooms. They're all safe inside. Ash and i needs to discuss about the safety of the students maybe i'll take note of that.
Nilibot ko ang paningin ko sa kwarto nya, naagaw ng pansin ko yung isang naka frame na brown letter sa tabi, it was like a hand letter that's special for her. Beside the framed letter napansin ko din ang hand writing nito.
The letters were about to fade dahil sa tagal na nito, parang nilagay nalang sa frame to save it. Kinuha ko ito saka nilingon sila. "Is this hers?" nagtataka kong tanong
"Ah, yes that's hers." Aria
I looked closely, trying to remember kung saan ko nga nakita ang ganito sulat. Parehas na parehas sa nakita ko dati.
"You remember anything love?" Avery came to me all of a sudden
Binalik ko yung frame sa dating pagkalagay nya, "nothing tha letter is familiar to me. Im trying to remember where did i see it." My hands are shaking
I was trying to recall where did i see it, "dont force yourself to remember things out, it might affect you again, stop thinking about it." He hugged me sideways caressing my head
Hindi naman kami nagtagal bumalik na din kami sa palayos, my parents are there in the living room, they all looked so worried,
"Samantha i told you to update me anak if you're going out." Mom looks so worried
"Sumama lang ako sakanila and i visted a friend." I looked at them asking help kasi hindi matigil si Mommy.
"Mommy, before i was gone same with my sister did you both give me a letter?" I asked randomly
"Yes i did, why?"
Pinipilit kong inaalala kung saan ko nakita yung letter from Venice' room, but then i gave up hindi ko na inisip pa.
"Oh, nothing mom."
