The Four Elements

Element 26

I woke up having this weird feeling! Nah! Dahil lang siguro 'to sa training kahapon, pinagod ako ng husto ni Tredle. Leshe talaga, ansakit-sakit ng katawan ko tapos halos di ako makatayo sa sobrang sakit. Leshe talaga.

'Yung one-on-one namin, okay lang, talo ko naman siya pero namimisikal ang tae. Kabwisit! Pero yung mga last rules, nakabantay siya, sinusunod ang gawa ko kaya ang ending, naglaban kami gamit ang kapangyarihan namin. Fire element user din pala ang mokong tas may lightning din! Nagamit ko tuloy halos lahat ng kapangyarihan ko kaya pagod na pagod ako! Muntik pa nga akong himatayin pero pinipigilan ko lang kasi ayaw kong saluhin niya ako katulad sa mga korning movies. Psh

Tatayo na sana ako sa kama pero may humila sakin. Anak ng ahas naman talaga 'tong si Tredle oh! Parang anaconda kung makapulupot sakin. Eh kung sunugin ko kaya 'to, 'no? Psh talaga.

Oo, magkatabi parin kami sa pagtulog (sa kasamaang palad), eh sa yun ang sabi ni ate, e. Wala akong karapatang suwayin yun baka mapatalsik ako sa mansyon. Siya padin ang pinakamataas sa lahat nang andirito.

Mabait pa naman ako kahit papaano kaya sinuntok ko siya ng malakas sa braso kaya napaalis siya ng yakap. Mas okay na ang suntok kesa sa sunugin diba? Sa tingin niyo?

"Ang brutal mo talaga kahit kailan."sabi niya pa tapos tumayo na siya kaya tumayo na din ako. Tinaasan ko naman siya ng kilay.

"Pasalamat ka nga, hindi kita sinunog e."sagot ko tapos pumasok na ng CR.

"Maliligo lang ako, huwag kang magtatangkang pasukin ako dito sa CR at covered spot ah? Kundi sisipain kita!"magsasalita pa sana siya kaya lang, inunahan ko siya.

"Ano? Papalag ka?"sabay pakita ng kamao, natahimik naman siya habang umiiling-iling.

Naligo na nga ako at nung natapos na ako, agad akong dumiretso sa covered spot, yung doon ka magbibihis? Yeah, yun nga. It's my request since I'm not the only who's in this room. Buti sana kung babae e hindi naman at ayokong bigyan ng kaligayahan ang mga mata ni Tredle, 'no. Lalake padin siya kahit papaano.

Lumabas na din ako tapos pinaikot sa washing machine yung mga damit na suot-suot ko kanina.

"Tredle, mauna na ako huh? Ginugutom na kasi ako. Bye."sabi ko at bago pa siya makapagsalita, umalis na ako ng kwarto ko.

Pagkarating ko sa dining area, binati ko lang sila ng good morning tapos kumain na agad ako. Ginugutom ako, eh. Sa sobrang pagod ko kahapon, diretso tulog agad ako at hindi nakakain. Kwento lang sila ng kwento sakin habang kumakain. Sa hindi raw sinasadyang pagkakataon, nakagawa raw ng elemental dragon sila Ice at Miruh pero buti na lang at na-froze ito ni Snow tapos dinala nila sa pinaglalagyan ng mga kung anu-anong creature. Ginawan na din nila ito ng ice cage na may lightning element para matibay.

Si Katelyn naman, sabi ni Freeze, nag-upgrade na daw. Naging dark blue na ang kulay ng mata niya tapos nakakapagpalabas siya ng ice crystals gamit ang chain whip niya.

Si Desty, under-observation pa siya kasi nagagamit na niya ng matiwasay ang ice element niya kahit wala yung legendary necklace.

Masaya naman ako para sa mga enhancements namin pero kinakabahan ako para sa meeting namin mamaya nila ate. Ano kayang ia-announce niya? Ang sabi ng utak ko, may nagde-declare daw ng war between two different district but I can't identify which district. Somehow it made me wonder how did that came up into my mind? I feel weird.

--

It's already evening and I'm sitting at the edge of my bed, still thinking how did I ever predict that? How did I do that? Maybe because of too stress? Nah. I really don't know.

"Huuuy!"panggugulat ni Tredle pero hindi naman ako nagulat. Walang silbi ang pagyugyog niya sakin sabay kiliti sa tagiliran. Wala naman akong kiliti sa tagiliran.

'Hindi man lang nagulat? Tss.'he said. Hahaha! I read his mind and good thing it isn't shut off. But I just ignored him.

"May problema ka ba? Kanina ka pa natanga 'dyan."I just shook my head as a reply.

"Tss, sige na sabihin mo na. Parang di mo naman ako kaibigan, e."sabi niya tapos umupo pa siya sa tabi ko.

"Who says I treat you as a friend?"

"Tch, oo na, hindi mo na ako kaibigan. But I won't stay away here if you won't tell me what's your problem." Psh, no choice.

"Fine! Tss."

"Come on, tell me." Makautos ha? Kundi mo lang ako binablack-mail, e.

"A prediction suddenly came out of mind from nowhere. I don't know how and why did I ever think like that? The prediction is that a war will happen between two districts but I don't know which and where."I told him and he nodded.

"So that's all?"this time, it's my time to nod. "Let us ask that to your sister. For now, just change and I'll just wait outside. Be sure to lock the door, okay?"he said and off he went. Okay, tatanungin ko na lang si ate tungkol dun. Malay mo, nagkataon lang pala na yun ang naisip ko diba?

Napag-isipan ko naman na magbihis na nga lang kesa tumunganga. I decided to wear a simple t-shirt and skirt. (Yup, may t-shirt na, I just bought that from other district)

I was about to get the t-shirt when my head suddenly aches. I sat back on my bed and massaged my head while shouting in pain. What happened? The pain is too painful to handle that it feels like I want to bump it into somewhere just to end it up. My head is like splitting into two and it's like having a vibration. I suddenly felt dizzy so I closed my eyes.

"Aaah!"napasigaw ulit ako sakit. Parang may humihilang kung ano sa buhok ko kaya sumasakit tapos yung ulo ko, ang hapdi-hapdi.

I fainted.

Where am I? Why am I seeing all white around me? Why does I feel better than the earlier? Ang gaan-gaan ng pakiramdam ko. Hindi ko maramdaman ang sakit ng ulo ko kanina.

I just walked and walked until I saw a woman and a man sitting at the bench under the tree. Yeah, in this white surrounding, I saw a tree.

"Greya.."the woman stood up and called me. The man followed the woman, too.As soon as they raised their head, I couldn't believe who are they. It's...it's my parents. And at the moment, I realized that I'm dreaming. But if they are here? I would rather stay here where I am, together with them.

"Mama..Papa.."I reach them out and they hugged me tightly. I can't believe I could hug them like this again. I miss them so much and too much.

"Jem, you shouldn't be staying long here. We just manipulate this moment to talk to you. You're here because I'm gonna tell you a mission."Dad told me. He didn't even change, he's always direct to the point. And I miss it.

"Greya, you're very precious to us but we don't have any choice. As soon as you'll wake up, tell your sister about this. Your mission are to fight with another district. To fight with the Dark District. Your sister doesn't know anything about this, anytime soon, they might attack you so please, be careful and alert. Your predictions are right because your unique ability is predicting."Mom explained. I sighed but smiled at them. Really? My unique ability is predicting? How about my sister?

"Don't worry, Ma, I'll tell ate about that. How about her, what is her unique ability?"I told them.

"That's part of your mission, Jem. Until now, your sister is still finding out what is her unique ability. Their sudden trip, we ordered that. She dreamt of us, too, but the time was too short. Ang nasabi lang namin ay kailangan niyang lumakbay sa malayo at hasain ang kakayahan niya. Your sister never did reach her extent and so you are. Wala pang nakakakamit ng sukdulan niyo. Reaching your extent is like saying you can't wake up again."I was shocked of what Dad told me. We haven't still reach our extent yet? Does that mean..

"Yes, those pains and faints of all of you was just because you're out of energy while those changing of appearance is about upgrading your energy rate."I was more shocked as Mom said that. We never did reach our extent yet? We never did? All of this months of thinking were already superior even if we aren't? And reaching your extent is more like dying?

Three pairs suddenly came out. Their faces are familiar but I'm sure I never had meet them!

They look like.. Freeze? Ice? Miruh? Desty? Kae? Are they their parents?

"I'm Korea Ariveria, mother of Freeze and Ice."The woman introduced herself. The man beside her intoduce himself, too. They have this cold expression which made me flinch.

"I'm Evrei Ariveria, father of Freeze and Ice." Ice resembles his father! So much!

"I'm Shannen and this is Mhari, we are the parents of Miruh Dalves."

"I'm Sherelyn." The girl simply said. I think she's Kae's mother?

"I'm Sammi Alice Ferrer, I'm the mother of Destiny but I consider Katelyn as my daughter, too."she looks very kind and it's too good that she've been a good stepmom to Kae.

"I'm Frederick Rodgerian Ferrer, I'm the father of Desty and Kae."he told me.

They're so beautiful--no, wait, gorgeous and handsome! I can't believe that their parents are on my front!

"I have something to tell you, Greya." Freeze's mom, Tita Korea, told me so I nodded. She has this cold atmosphere but behind those eyes are full of sadness.

"Freeze' elder sister and Ice' twin sister is alive but they didn't knew they had another sister. We kept her away from them because her ice powers are getting worst each day. Please, tell them." I nodded.

Tita Sammi looked at me.

"Your guild isn't still complete."she sighed. "A boy, whose name is Hunter, will complete you." For real? I mean, how could we recognize who's that Hunter? And how could they know?

"Hunter is a seventeen year old boy, a water element holder. That is part of your mission, too." Tito Mhari said.

"I want you to tell Miruh that his brother is still alive. Shaun Mharnen is still alive!" Tita Shannen added. I hope I can remember all these things.

"Don't worry, I cast a spell on you that won't make you forget what we told you." Tita Sherelyn smiled while telling me. She's a sorcerist? Cause I can't feel any element aura on her.

"Thank you. I'll tell that all to them."I said.

"Katrraine..." Tito Evrei called me. "Hold Ice's forehead, and he'll immediately know what we told you."he touched my forehead. He is a water element holder, parehas sila ni Ice.

"Jem, you're our only hope."Mom said and hugged me again. All of them hugged me, and I can feel that they are longing to hug their children, too. I won't dissapoint them. I will fight and do my mission not just for me, but for all us.

"Mama, Papa, titos and titas.. I promise, I will do anything just to make it happened."

"Anak, about Tredle--"The weren't be able to tell what they need to say cause I slowly closed my eyes.

"Greya! Greya! Gising!"I heard a shout at may tumatapik sa kaliwang pisngi ko. Dahan-dahan ko namang iminulat ang mga mata ko at nakita ko ang mukha ni Tredle na puno ng pag-aalala.

I remembered, I dreamt about our parents. They told me about or mission and our still-not-known member. I just know his name is Hunter, he's seventeen and a water element holder.

Miruh's brother is still alive, Freeze and Ice has a sister that was kept away from them, Kae's mom cast a spell on me so I won't forgot what they say.

And dad mentioned Tredle's name before I closed my eyes but I wasn't be able to hear it.

"I heard you shouting and screaming then you suddenly kept quiet so I asked Anston for the spare key. What happened?"

"T-Tredle, I dreamt about our parents. Freeze and Ice, Miruh, Desty and Katelyn's parents are with my parents. They told me things. We have a mission to accomplish. A war will happen between Dark District and Element District. Mom told me I can predict something because my unique ability is predicting. You believe me, right?"he nodded and smiled.

"Of course, I do believe you."I was shocked when he kissed my forehead but I nevermind it because I need to talk with my sister.

"I'll just change my clothes, I need to talk with my sister. Stay outside."he obeyed my order and went outside.

I change my dress into a simple t-shirt with skirt but two inches spiral designed heels.

After being dressed, I went outside and we walk towards the tea room.

Pagkapasok namin, kami na lang pala ang hinihintay.

"Oh my dear sister, you're late."she said. I sat at the remaining seat and faced her.

"I have something to tell all of you. If you won't believe me, you'll regret it."
