Celestia Rogue

WHO THE HECK is that woman?! A woman with a short black hair and eyes is right now in my room.

Pagmulat ng mga mata ko ay isang taong hindi ko kilala ang sumalubong saakin.

"Sino ka?"

Malamig na tanong ko nang mabilis na nakakilos at itinutok sakaniya ang dagger ko.

"It's me."

She said coldly.

"Malamang, di ka naman mukang nanay ko."

Iritang sabi ko na nagpailing sakaniya. Natigilan ako nang bigla itong magbago ng anyo. Her hair became silver, her eyes turned blue as she transformed into a man.

"Draco?!"

Gulat na sambit ko.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito? at bakit ka nasa kwarto ko?"

Taas kilay kong tanong.

"I took you home last night when you fell asleep on Eira. I disguised myself as a woman so the people wouldn't get startled."

He hrugged, nanlaki ang mata ko roon.

"Si mama nga pala!"

Sambit ko.

"I already told her what happened. Pero hindi lahat. Just things she could take, I told her I am your co worker and I rescued you from theslave traders. I told her they won't come for you again. Kinumbinsi niya akong dito na matulog kaya nandito ako ngayon."

Sabi niyang nagpatigil saakin.

"But we only have two rooms?"

Gulat na sambit ko.

"I slept here."

He answered calmly, making me stop and looked at my clothes.

"Ang mama mo ang nagpalit saiyo. I would't do anything to you without your consent and even if I have it, I'm not interested."

He hissed, inirapan ko lang siya.

"Tanungin mo muna kung interesado ako."

Iritang sabi ko sakaniya saka sinuklay ang mahabang buhok sa harap ng salamin. 

"Bakit ka nga pala pumayag na matulog dito? That's not like you."

Tanong ko sakaniya.

"I just got curious what kind of home you're living in. Your mom is also really nice, bakit ikaw----"

"Bakit ako? ano?"

Masungit na pagputol ko sa sasabihin niya.

"Mabait din naman ako ah."

Nguso ko na nagpaubo sakaniya. Sinimangutan ko lang siya't nagpatuloy nalang sa pagsusuklay.

"So kelan ka aalis?"

Taas kilay kong tanong.

"I saved you and you want me to leave?"

Nakahalukipkip niyang tanong habang nakasandal sa dingding. Halos mauntog na sa kisame dahil bukod sa maliit lang ang bahay namin ay matangkad siya.

"If I say yes, would you leave?"

I asked.

"No."

He shrugged making me frown in annoyance.

"You even fooled my mom just to sleep here. This house is probably hundred times smaller than yours. Why would you want to sleep here?"

I asked.

"To annoy you, first thing in the morning."

Kibit balikat niyang sagot. I groaned then glared at him.

"Dry ice, Jerk."

I just hissed.

"And you can even change your appeaeance completly, isn't that a high level magic? can you do a guy version of that but has different face from yours? Can you copy other theian's faces?"

Tanong ko habang kumukuha ng damit para isuot matapos kong maligo.

"Yes I can."

He answered simply making me nod my head on him.

"Then is your appearance right now is your real appearance or not?"

I asked.

"It is my real appearance, but my hair is silver, not ash gray."

After that, his hair turned into a lighter shade of gray, almost seem like thousands of thin silver threads.

"It causes too much attention, it's irritating so I changed it."

He added, my mouth formed an 'o'

"Eh bakit mo sinasabi saakin lahat to?"

Tanong ko.

"Kasi nagtatanong ka."

He hissed, napanguso lang ako.

"But you shouldn't easily tell me anything. Paano kung ibenta ko ang mga impormasyon?"

I asked.

"You would never voluntarily talk to any theians just to gossip about me. If you were bribed, you won't accept it and ask me for a double amount of that money instead. Inexchange of not telling anyone about informations about me."

Sagot niyang nagpakurap saakin.

"Wow, you really know how I think."

Tawa ko.

"As if someone would randomly bribe me for an information about you. If I were them, I'd go with people who were always seen with you or your servants instead of a random commoner who weren't even seen with you often, thankfully."

I shrugged.

"I could just kill you before you tell anyone."

He hissed, tinaasan ko siya ng isang kilay.

"You wouldn't save me if you want me to be killed. I don't care anyways."

I rolled my eyes on him.

"I don't plan on killing you.."

Sabi niyang nagpakunot ng noo ko.

"You just threatened me and now you take it back? Ang gulo mo ha."

I hissed.

"I just know you wouldn't tell anyone about the things you know about me."

Oh? so he trust me?

"No, you're just too dumb to do that."

He said, answering my thoughts. I knew those words were suspicious!

"Bobo ka pa, wala rin naman akong tiwala sayo, ulul."

Nakahalukipkip kong saad saka inirapan siya.

"Bat ka galit?"

Nakataas ang isang kilay na ngisi niya. Nahawa na ata saakin, iisa lang naman ang emosyong nakikita sa muka niya, ewan ko kung bat parang may sapi din to minsan.

"Because just looking at your face makes me want to vomit."

Ngiwi ko.

"Then don't look at it and stop trash talking me in that lunatic dumb mind of yours."

He hissed.

"Then I'll just trashtalk talk you deep inside my heart."

Madamdamin kong sabi habang nakatitig sakaniya. Blangko ang matang tumingin siya saakin.

"Fine, go on, trashtalk me whole heartedly. Fill that heart of yours with me 24/7, I don't mind."

He grinned making my heart race for a reason I do not know.

"Ewan ko sayo, Lumabas ka na nga, umuwi ka na at maliligo pa ako."

Masungit kong sabi sakaniya.

"You have a butterfly birthmark on your shoulder?"

He asked when he noticed it.

"No, a caterpillar."

I said sarcastically, nangunot ang noo niya roong para bang may iniisip.

"I feel like I've seen that somewhere, I just don't remember where exactly."

He said.

"Last night, When I'm wearing that damn dress probably."

Sabi ko saka itinulak siya papuntang pintuan. Drashit transformed back into a woman as I pushed him outside my room.

Isinarado ko na iyon pagkatapos saka nagtungo sa cr para maghanda. Buong araw daw akong nawala nang madukot ako ng mga slave traders.

That's what Drashit said last night before we got home.

I'm actually releaved that those fuckers, Slave traders are gone. Also Ayesha is not searching for me anymore so I'm glad.

After I took a bath, I wore simple clothes as usual. Kinuha ko sa drawer ang kwintas ko at sinuot iyon saka itinago sa ilalim ng damit.

"Buti nalang at nakalimutan ko itong isuot noong nakaraan. Baka naiwala ko pa ito kung sakali."

Naiiling na pagkausap ko sa sarili saka lumabas na.

"You're still here?"

Tanong ko nang makita doon si Ice burg.

"Obviously."

He answered while sitting calmly in the kitchen looking like a real woman.

"Celestia! alam mo bang nag alala ako sayo! I told you to be extra careful! mabuti nalang at iniligtas ka ni Adrianna."

Naiiyak na sabi ni mama saka niyakap ako ng mahigpit. Napabuntong hininga ako roon at niyakap siya pabalik.

"Wala na sila ma, hindi na nila ako makukuha okay? The slave traders were defeated, and the merchant hall is safe for me. I promise to not let my guard down again."

I assured her, nanatili lang seryoso ang muka nito.

"Hindi ko alam Celestia, araw araw ay nag aalala ako sayo, mas gugustuhin ko pang nandito ka kaysa----"

"Napag usapan na po natin to diba? saka nag iingat naman po ako. Tara na po't kumain na tayo. Baka gutom na si----"

I glanced at Draco who's calmly sipping tea like he's on his own home.

"Adrianna?"

Sabi ko.

I managed to convince my mom somehow to  let me continue working in the capital. After all, it's safer than when I was hunting.

"Really? Adrianna? saan mo naman napulot ang pangalang iyan?"

Tanong ko kay Draco habang nakaupo kami sa living room. Nakatulog si nanay gaya ng nakasanayan.

It's due to her illness.

"It's a girl version of one of my names."

He answered calmly.

"Oo nga noh? Kilala ka lang ng lahat bilang Draco? so you also have other names?"

Napatango siya doon.

"I have three given names by my birth mother. Adryan is one of them."

He revealed.

"And you have silver hair which is common in the empire of Zacharia? bat napunta ka dito? Zaveri is too far from that empire?"

I asked.

"How did you know it's common in that empire?"

Kunot noong tanong niyang nagpamulagat sa mga mata ko.

"U-Uhh my father told me before."

Sambit ko saka pinigilang mag isip ng kung ano tungkol sa lugar.

"So how did you get in here?"

I asked again.

"My mother is from that empire and got married here. Dito ako pinanganak, I was raised here."

He said making me nod my head on him.

"Ohh...I see, I don't care."

I said then stucked my tongue out, napangiwi lang ito saakin.

"So What is your other name?"

I again asked.

"I thought you don't care?"

Nagtaas kilay sya saakin.

"Wala akong masabi ehh, mukang wala ka pang balak umalis."

Irap ko, Drashit just hissed.

"It's----"

Naputol ang sasabihin niya nang makarinig kami ng mga katok.

"Wait a minute."

I said then went to the door and opened it.

"Celestia!"

Tawag ng chief sa pangalan ko saka ako mahigpit na niyakap.

"Nag alala kami saiyo!"

Sabi niya.

Sa likod niya ay ang mga kasamahan ko.

"Ayos lang ho ako, nakalabas naman po ng buhay, ako pa ba?"

Tawa ko.

"Kahit na! eh paano kung hindi?"

Kunot noong tanong ni chief.

"Ikaw talaga chief, para kang si nanay. Ayos na nga po, wala na ang slave traders."

Ngiti kong nagpabuntong hininga sakaniya, ang mga kasamahan ko naman sa likod ay suminghot singhot pang nagpipigil ng luha.

"Umiiyak ba kayo?"

Ngisi ko.

"Ha? bat kami iiyak? hindi ah."

Sabi ni Gago habang halos tumulo na ang uhog na nagpatawa saakin.

"Talaga?"

Sabi ko na tuluyang nagpaiyak sakanila saka akmang yayakap nang mabilis na nakaharang si Drashit na Adrianna ngayon.

"I suggest you shouldn't hug her or touch her easily."

He said coldly, natulala lamang ang mga ito sakaniya.

"Sino ito Celestia? ang ganda ah."

Nagpapacute pang tanong ni Ryan habang walang emosyong mababakas sa muka ni Dry Ice.

"Uhh...this is Drash---I mean Adrianna, alipin ko."

Biro kong ikinasimangot ni Ice burg.

"I'm this dumb girl's co worker. Ako ang nag uwi sakaniya kagabi."

He hissed then glared at them, napangiwi ako doon.

"For some reason, I feel like she's killing us on her mind."

"May ginawa ba tayong mali?"

"Ewan, baka napangitan sainyo."

"Itanong mo muna kung nagwapuhan ba sayo."

I heard them whispering.

May pabulong bulong pa, dinig na dinig naman, nailing nalang ako. Lalapit sana saakin ang isa sa mga kasamahan ko, ngunit humarang nanaman si Drashit.

"You shouldn't get near her, She's sick after being on that cold jai----"

"Anong sick? hindi ahh.."

Pagputol ko sa sasabihin niya.

"Ha? hindi naman sakitin yang si Celestia, masamang damo yan eh."

Kunot noong tanong nila.

"Well she is now, so don't get near her or you'll be infected."

Masungit na sabi ni Ice burg saka hinila na ako papasok ng bahay. At sinaraduhan ang mga kasamahan ko, kasunod namin ay si Chief.

"Hoy, anong pinagsasabi mo don? I'm perfectly fine as you can see!"

Reklamo ko.

"No, you're sick in the head."

He hissed, binalingan ko siya ng matalim na tingin.

"Tarantado, baka ikaw."

Iritang sabi ko.

"What are your relationship with them? Are some of those courting you? or all of them?"

Naniningkit ang matang tanong niya.

"Well all of the men in this village tried to court me but we had a deal that they will stop once I beat them into a fight so were all just friends now. Saka hindi ba awkward yon? we all grew up together, parang kapatid ko na sila kaya bakit ako magpapaligaw? at saka ano naman sayo iyon?"

Nakapamewang kong tanong saka tinaasan siya ng isang kilay. He seems pleased for some reason.

"I'm just concerned about them getting to all kinds of stupid troubles when they involve themselves with you."

He shrugged, sinimangutan ko siya doon.

"Wala rin naman akong balak iinvolve sila."

Iritang sabi ko.

"I want someone strong."

I hissed making him smile a little? 

"Who is not a guardian, noble, a royalty and most importantly is to not be as annoying as you."

Dagdag kong nagpasimangot sakaniya. 

"You have a terrible personality."

He hissed.

"I know, you're just the same."

I grinned.

Akmang sasagot pa siya nang may tumikhim sa tabi namin.

Si chief iyon.

"Ganyan ka ba dapat makipag usap sa nagligtas saiyo Celestia?"

Tanong niyang nagpangiwi lang saakin.

"Salamat nga pala sa pagligtas dito kay Celestia. Parang apo ko na iyan kaya alalang alala ako. May katigasan kasi ang ulo kaya pagpasensyahan mo na."

Ngiti nitong si Chief, ngumuso lamang ako.

"Kaya nga chief eh, I already involved him---her into slight trouble last night, kaya dapat ay pauwiin na siya diba?"

Ngiti ko.

"No it's fine actually, I like how peaceful it is in this place, I'm even thinking of wanting to live in here."

Pang aasar nitong nagpamulagat sa mga mata ko.

"Aba gago, di na nahiy----"

"Sure, stay whenever you want."

Chief said happily, I frowned.

"Chief!"

Reklamo ko, pinanlakihan lamang ako ng mga mata nito na ikinangisi ni ice burg. Tiyak na nang aasar lang iyan, bakit ba masyado siyang feeling close?

AFTER THAT, the chief told me to entertain the guest, so I took him to the poisonus forest of the mountain near our village. Tinanong ko din kay chief kung nasaan si Allen, ang sabi niya ay kasama ng iba sa paghahunt.

Natuwa daw ito nang malamang nakauwi na ako at gusto sanang bisitahin ako kaagad, kaya lang ay kailangan niyang humuli ng makakain ng kanilang pamilya.

Sumasama padin ako sa hunt pagkatapos kong magpahinga ng mga isang oras galing sa trabaho, para naman ay may makain din kami ni nanay. And because of my ability, we were able to catch a bore or something big, enough for the whole village to eat. 

"Your chief said to tour me around and entertain me, and you're taking me into the part of the forest where poisonus plants are in?"

Reklamo niya, nginisian ko lamang siya. He's already back into his real form since kami nalang namang dalawa dito.

"But it's fun here, one wrong move and you might encounter a carnivorous plant somewhere and become it's meal."

I chuckled.

"This is why you're always getting into trouble."

Napatampal sa noong sabi niya na nagpangisi lalo saakin.

"I guess I do have strange tastes."

I grinned.

Kasabay nito ay ang nagyelong carnivorous plant sa gilid ko. Nailing akong tinira naman ang nasa harap namin.

"Madalas ka dito?"

Tanong niyang nagpatango saakin.

"Yeah, I like collecting poisonus plants, be careful, I might poison you someday."

I winked at him.

"You already did."

He said with a serious face when we decided to take a break and sit on the grass.

"What? hoy wala pa akong ginagawa ah."

I hissed.

"Kaya nga eh."

Sabi niya, taka ko lamang siyang tinignan.

"You didn't do anything, and yet, you're like a poison I couldn't remove in my system cause it hurts a lot. I'm not usually like this, I grew up knowing that having emotion and being attached is not needed to achieve my goals. I have never felt any affection so it's not a problem and yet you came and----"

He sighed harshly, natigilan ako doon.

"You've become my weakness, a nuisance I should avoid. Yet I kept getting near with and I do not like it one bit."

Sabi pa niya saka sinalubong ang mga mata ko.

"That's why I've been wanting to kill you for quiet some time now. If you're gone, I will finally regain my  old self."

He added.

"Then why don't you?"

I asked seriosly.

"Why did you save me a lot of times when you don't want me around?"

I asked.

"That..."

Mariin siyang napapikit.

"I can't."

Nag iwas siya ng tingin.

"I want you dead and at the same time, I want you to be mine, I want all of you to be mine. I want to keep you all by myself or I might kill someone who would even dare to lay a hand on you, that's my problem."

Malamig niyang sambit habang nakatingin saakin ang mapupungay niyang mga mata. Malakas akong natawa doon habang nakangising sinalubong ang nagbabagang mga titig niya.

"No, you can't have me."

I whispered and caressed his face, hindi maalis ang titig niya saaking hinawakan ang kamay kong nakahawak sa muka niya.

"You can never have me Draco, I'm not your property, but by the looks of it, from the words, coming out from your mouth..."

I smiled at him sweetly.

"Looks like you're the one who's mine, from your own words, looks like I am now your owner."

Nakangisi lamang ako sakaniya habang sinasabi iyon. I don't know what game he is playing now, but I will just go with it for now.

"I think that'll work."

Ngisi niyang nagpatawa saakin saka itinutok sakaniyang leeg ang dagger ko.

"And you don't bite your owner, Draco. Even if you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't do that anymore, cause I own you now."

I chuckled while still pointing my dagger to his throat and caressing his face to tease him.

 Napangiti siya doon.

"Oh I would bite you Celestia, and you'll ask for more."

Ngisi niya saakin, napataas ang kilay ko roon saka natatawang tumayo na nang may maramdamang papalapit.

"It's Allen."

Kunot noong sambit ko sa nararamdamang papalapit, Draco transformed back into a woman. 

Mukang may kasama si Allen base sa mga kilos nila.

Maya maya pa ay lumitaw ang mga ito na ikinatigil namin pareho.

"Ate Celestia!"

Natutuwang sabi ni Allen habang buhat buhat ang isang bata? No, the girl seems familiar. She has blonde hair and green eyes like those royal family.

The yougest princess? the one Seah and I saw in that restaurant? What is the princess doing here?
