I am finally free,feeling the soft sand on my feet is so relaxing while listening to the waves of the sea..

Having fun walking dryly and everyone swimming,having fun except for brother..

He's at the bar,I just decided to not train today,I do need a break.

I'm so curious tho...

I can feel like someone is watching me,staring at me...must be from my imagination.

But I just shrugged it off,I kept on walking and just stayed cool,feeling relaxed from everything,

But something is sending shivers through my spine,I felt eyes on me,more like someone is spying on me.

I checked at m back and saw no one,well...that's ...very weird..

I shook my head and continued walking,not minding anything, or even the one who is watching me,

While walking someone tapped my shoulder which made me flinch..

I grabbed this person's hand and put him down while his  face is on the ground,he groaned in pain...

I assume it's a male cause the muscular body and the males voice,

"Who are you?!?"I asked him as he coughed-

"It's *coughs*me...Kuya*coughs*del"...

I was shock at what he said,I immediately get off him and helped him stood up,

I patted his clothes removing the sand all around him, "I'm sorry Kuya"I apologized,he chuckled and patted my head.

"It's fine pearl,tho you are pretty strong"he said grinning,I hugged him tightly as he was shock at my action but hugged back.

"Nice to see you again Kuya"I said hidding my face on his chest..

"Woah...hehe,nice to see you too pearl,by the way what brings you here in Palawan at kumusta kayo nila martial?"he asked me with happiness..

We parted from the hug-"where doing fine,Kuya..how about you?I was going to ask the same question^^"I replied happily and asked him the same question..

Del pilars POV~

It's nice to see my little pearl lively,I smiled at her widely...she has changed,lookin,and having a muscular body suits her.

"Uhh,Kuya?okay ka Lang ba?"she asked waving her hands up and down in front of my face,I snapped back thinking that I've been looking at her body for too long..

"Uhh y-yes,I'm fine now,what was your question?"I asked her while smiling,she smiled back

"So what brings you here?"she asked looking at me happily while we walk slow..

"I'm here for a vacation..and I'm assuming you too are here for a vacation"I replied as I heard noices and look at the crowd who are swimming..tho they do look weird...

She smiled and nodded as we continued walking, suddenly she pulled me making ma almost trip but just followed her..

"Uhmmm,pearl who are those people?"I asked her,she looked at them then looked back at me"there my friends,they came with me"she replied happily,as I nodded and continued running.

We arrived to where they are,I was panting heavy tho she is not even tired from all the run..

I stood properly then suddenly everything went silent,everyone was quite,staring at us.

Then I saw martial,walking pass us.

"Hello del"he greeted with his dark tone and his stoned face while drinking beer..

"Hello martial"I greeted back as I looked at the others still not even moving or talking.

"Everyone!this my older brother,del pilars!"she screamed a little while everyone nodded,and smiled at me.

"Hello,del!"everybody greeted with respect,I am the oldest..

"Uhh,hi?"

They continued playing and splashing,I approached pearl,while she just sit at the sand,I sit next to her.

"Why aren't you joining them?"I asked her while I sat next to her

"I just don't want to get wet"she replied happily,not taking her eyes off from the others..

I was planning on a wicked scheme of mine,I evily laughed and sneaked away from pearl then went to the water and...

"Wait Kuya! wa-"she was cut off when I splashed water on her,I chuckled and saw her reaction,she's so cute..

She wiped the water from her face as she glares at me,then she went near me,and based on our hight she looks so smol💛..

She turned then she stepped hard on the water as the water splashed big that made me fully wet and the others got splashed too.

"That...was awesome!"which I assumed pearls friend,Malaysia,said that..

I"I gotta admit you have one strong leg there pearl"I said to her as she blushed in embarrassment,tho she looks even more cuter..

"You look so cute!"I pinched her cheeks as she whined

"Kuya!"

"Ok okay,I'll stop.."I said as she calmed down, suddenly she splashed water on me again as she ran, signaling that I should catch her..

"Oh this is on"everybody laughed looking at us while we catch eachother,

"Comeback here pearl!"

"Catch me if you can!"she is fast even in water,this making me tired but I just continued catching her...

"Hah!gotcha!"I tickled her as she laughs and smiles trying to stop me..this is making me go cuteness overload!

Everyone was still laughing at us..

"Nuuu,kuya-hhahah...stop.."I stopped and let her go while she runs back to dry land..

I stood up and also went to land,I looked back at the sun which is setting,as I bumped into someone which the person falls..

"Oh,I'm sorry,here let me help you"I helped this man get up,tho he does look familiar to me,he has this red stripes and 50 stars..

Ha,this must be America..

"Hi,you must be America"I greeted,then suddenly pearl froze on her spot,

Hmm,did I do something wrong?

"Uhhh,y-yes sir,that's me"America answered stuttering..

"No need to be afraid of me,I don't kill,unlike martial"I teased as he calmed down,and nodded then went to a tall country,that have this hat on..

"I can hear you,you know!"martial said afar,I laughed and went to pearl then we went inside the hotel that they where staying..

"Kuya,would you like to join us for dinner?"she asked me while we go to the counter,"sure why not"I agreed with her as she asked to the waitress for a big table.

We are all sitting at the table,while I sit next to pearl and on the other side is martial,who is annoyed, probably from the others who are noisy,tho I don't mind..I just kept on chatting with pearl.

Seeing her smile makes my heart melt tho there is something off,her eyes does have a tint of sadness,which is making me sad...

"Pearl,okay ka Lang ba?(are you okay?)"I asked her worriedly as she looked at me,smiling widely..

"I'm very fine Kuya,why did you ask that?"she replied and asked me,which I cant just tell her the truth about why I asked her,I don't want to push her by telling everything..

"It's nothing,just reassuring"I said grinning trying not to go further from our conversation..

Then the food came as we all ate happily,like a big family,

*Sighs*I miss the old times...

                                          °°°

I waved my goodbye to pearl and martial then left them as they waved back at me,

I am still curious about Philipias expression Everytime she would look at ,who are those dudes again?ha, America...

Hmm, curious...

I decided to spy on pearl,when they are all asleep,I'll go look on her terrace since she did tell me where her room is and luckily she's near the terrace...

After waiting,it's already 11 in the night and everything was dark except for the first floor of the hotel..

I looked at the terrace and saw her standing looking at the night sky,why is she still awake?

I heard her voice...I think she's..... singing?

🎶"Ako'y isang sirena,kahit anong sabihin nila
Ako ay ubod ng ganda,Ako'y isang sirena,kahit anong gawin nila,bandera ko'y di tutumba"🎶

(Translation:I'm a mermaid, whatever they say,I'm pretty,I'm a mermaid, whatever they do,my flag won't fall)

Her voice is so melodic,like an angel,I can hear some sniffing...shes crying,but why?

I knew there was something off, suddenly she started glowing, brightly,even with her clothes on,it's glowing strong..as the moon and stars shine more brightly that earlier...she must be connected to it...

I hid behind the bushes for better camouflage,now she definitely looks like an angle,

But bit by bit the glow is fading then she went inside..

What can I say,I'm always a curious person,but this is a very strange one.

Maybe I'll try tomorrow, knowing her problems and fix it...I have a lot of questions that needs to answered...
