The Four Elements

Element 27

"I have something to tell all of you. If you won't believe me, you might regret it." I told them. They all nodded at me and looked at me, waiting for what I'll announce. Oh, before that. I went near at Ice and I can sense that he is shocked, as well as Desty, too. Tss, ano bang iniisip nilang gagawin ko kay Ice?

He gulped about three times while looking at me. Don't tell me he's affected on my so-called charms? HAHAHAHA!! This is ridiculous! I don't even know if I have this charms they were saying. Tss

I touched his forehead then after that, I went back on my seat.

"G-G-Greya.."he called me but he's stuttering. Desty looked at me and I can see her puzzled expression. She stood up and was about to slap me for unknown reason but I held her wrist while looking at her coldly.

"L-Look, I-I-I'm sorry, Greya. It's just that--"

"Don't you dare speak even a word unless I'll tell you."I told her fiercely. She sighed and sat back on her seat. I faced all of them.

"Ice, I know you know what will I announce."I told him and he nodded.

"Ha? P-pano mo nalaman kuya? Bakit hindi mo--"I interrupted Freeze and looked at her coldly. She called and zip her mouth.

"As I was saying, I dreamt of something. I dreamt about our parents and they gave me a clue about our mission. Our guild isn't complete yet, there is a boy who was named Hunter who would complete us."I smiled and stare at Freeze. "Korea and Evrei Ariveria huh? Nice names."she look shocked but didn't say a word.

"Miruh, your brother Shaun Mharnen is still alive and that is your personal mission, to find him." Miruh's eyes widened and a tear fell from his eye. "Ate, you haven't found out your unique ability yet and that is your personal mission. To know what is it. My unique ability is predicting and mom says my prediction is right. You can all talk now but one by one."they all remained silent but my sister broke the silence.

"W-What was your prediction?"my sister asked me.

"A war will happen between two districts, our district and Dark District. The district who killed our parents from different wars." They all gasped.

"Listen everyone, that war will happen anytime soon so we need to train again. No one has reach our extent yet, even my sister. Reaching the extent of our powers is like comparing yourself to death." they look all puzzled but I continued. "We need to find out whoever that Hunter is." they all nodded.

"Oh wait, Freeze and Ice, I have something to tell you." Ice shook his head.

'Greya, I'll be the one who'll announce that.' he told me unconciously in his mind. Freeze on the other hand looks very puzzled what were talking about. Of course, she can read and hear what our minds was saying. Well, except me, cause my mind is tightly enclosed.

"Freeze, I have a twin sister which is your elder sister, too."

"W-What? But how did you knew? So you were keeping this to me the whole time? Huh?" Freeze asked Ice and her voice was shaking. I don't know but at that moment, I felt something pierced in my heart. I feel the pain she was feeling.

"No--no. The moment Greya held my forehead, that scene suddenly poopped in my mind. I heard the voice of mom. But I don't know what's her name yet. Tell me Greya, is my father the one who ordered you to do that?" I nodded.

"Tss, after all this years, I still haven't forget what he used to do to me. Anyway, I think it's our personal mission. To find where she is."he said while bitterly laughing. Why does he need to fake a laugh even it's not necessary? Hiding his sadness. That's what he is doing.

"H-How about our parents?" Desty asked while looking at Katelyn.

"Oh, your parents? Which one? Tita Sherelyn? Tita Sammi? or Tito Rodge?" Katelyn suddenly burst out while crying. Desty who's supressing her feelings, wiped her tears while patting Kae's back. A way of comforting others.

"Is that final?"Tredle asked me for the ninth time. Psh, is it hard to accept that my answer is yes? As if he cares, right?

Tinignan ko lang siya at base sa expression ko, may halo itong pagkairita. Bigla naman niyang itinaas yung kamay niya, yung parang nagpa-Panatang Makabayan siya? Ganun.

"Tss, oo na suko na ako. Pero sasama ako!"

"You can't--"bago pa ako makaangal ay bigla na niyang kinuha ang maleta niya sa cabinet at naglagay ng mga gamit. Tss bahala siya, ginusto niya yan eh.

He's pertaining to the search for that Hunter guy who'd complete our guild. Yeah, bukas na bukas, aalis na kami para hanapin ang lalaking yun kung sino man siya. Besides, biglang nalaman ni ate ang unique ability niya kanina. Sumakit ang ulo niya and suddenly, she told us where can we see that Hunter guy. She can know what's the name of that unknown person, too. It would be easy for is to search where is her because of the specific place.

Five in the morning, were all dressed and ready to go. Tuloy na tuloy ang mission namin. Gusto sanang sumama ni Anston kaso walang magbabantay sa mansyon kaya wala siyang choice kundi dumito lang.

'Badtrip, kasama pa naman niya si Nico tapos...ugh, hindi ako makakasama?!' Tss, may gusto ata siya kay ate base sa nabasa ko sa isipan niya eh. Bahala nga siya, ang kupad-kupad eh, daig pa ang pawikan sa sobrang bagal. Torpe masyado, tss.

"Mag-iingat kayo Great Mistress at Young Mistress. Balitaan niyo na lamang po ako sa inyong pagbabalik."yumuko si Anston tapos pilit na ngumiti.

"Oh, huwag kang malungkot dyan! HAHA! Babalik naman kami, eh. Bye Anston, I'll miss you."niyakap naman ni ate si Anston kaya biglang humangin ng malakas sa paligid. Kinilig si Anston, wind-element holder pala siya. Tss, binibigyan nang motibo ni ate eh.

"A-ah sige po! M-Mamimiss ko din po ka-kayo! I-Ingat po lagi!"nauutal na sagot nito. I saw Nico closed his fist. Nagseselos siya, tsk, ang totorpe nila! Sarap batukan!

"Let's go guys."I firmly told them kaya walang nagawa si Anston at ate kundi bumitaw. Manhid ba 'to si ate at hindi niya nababasa ang isipan ni Anston?

'Greya, your ate just shut off her abilities right? Bawal siyang mapagod.'Freeze told me. Ah, right, I remembered.
'Yeah yeah, thanks for reminding.'
'No probs but haba ng hair ng ate mo, ah! Dalawang lalake eh!'
'Shut up or aabot to sa kuya mo.'
'Eto naman, seryoso masyado. Tatahimik na.'then she finally remained silent. Peace in life!
'Sama mo!' Psh, she still heard me. Need to shut off my mental telepathy.

So after our goodbye's, umalis na nga kami sa mansyon. We we're riding on a limousine. Yeah, she said the limo's better than her other cars. Better, kung magasgasan yun edi mabi-bitter siya sa ginawa niyang choice?

"Pwede ba, KUYA John? Umalis ka nga sa harap ko! Para kang araw, eh!"sabi bigla ni Kae. Ang nagdadrive ay si Ice tapos katabi niya si Desty, tapos sa center chair, sila Freeze, Ate at John ang nakaupo tas kami namang apat nila Tredle, Kae at Miruh ang nakaupo sa pinakadulong upuan. Humarap kasi si John kay Kae na nasa likod (wait, my description is confusing) kaya bale, kaharap nga niya si Kae.

"Syempre, hot naman talaga ako!"bawi pa ni John kaya mukhang nainis ata si Miruh at napamura sa tabi.

"I think you've misinterpret it, Mister. Ang ibig kong sabihin, para kang araw. Masakit sa mata."pambabara ni Kae saka ito inirapan. Miruh chuckled. Saya niya ah, kanina lang nagmumura pa eh.

"Boom panesxzc!"sigaw ni Freeze tapos tinawanan ng pagkalakas-lakas si John. Napasimangot naman siya. Tapos umayos na ng pwesto

"Hay salamat. Tumahimik na ang asungot. Makatulog na nga."sabi ni Freeze tapos sinandal ang ulo saka pinikit ang mga mata. Sabagay, maaga kaming nagising. Medyo inaantok na din ako kaya pinikit ko na din ang mata ko.

--

Nagising ako dahil sa narinig kong click ng camera. Erm, what's that?

What. The. Effin. Hell. Is. This. For. Real.

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING FREEZE?!!"I shouted loudly kaya nagising ang lalakeng katabi ko at napapreno bigla si Ice.

"SUNOG?!"napasigaw din sila habang si Ice naman ang naisigaw ay "DAMN!"

"FREEZE, GIVE ME THAT DAMN CAMERA! I'LL DELETE EVERY SINGLE DAMN PICTURE YOU CAPTURED!"

"What happened?"pagtatanong ni ate na nagising din dahil sa sigaw ko.

Okay, nagising ako na ang lapit-lapit ng mukha ni Tredle tapos nakaakbay pa siya sakin. Tapos pinicturan pa ni Freeze! Ugh.

"O-Oy! Sorry na Greya, ang sweet niyo eh."pagsosorry niya habang nakanguso--pout pala. Tss

"Let's put it this way, Freeze. Hmm, kung ikaw ang nasa pwesto ko tapos sa inyo nangyari ni John yun then I was taking some pictures, diba magagalit ka?"

"Oo na, sorry na."she said while pouting. I just ignored her tapos binatukan muna si Tredle saka bumalik sa pagkatulog.

Ginising nila ako nung dumating na daw kami sa lugar na nade-detect ni ate ang presence ni Hunter. Natakot si Freeze na siya ang gumising sakin kaya si ate na lang ang gumising sakin.

Iniwan namin yung sasakyan dun. Nasa West direction na kami ngayon, babalikan lang namin yung sasakyan after naming mahanap yung Hunter. Sana nga mahanap namin siya, tss.

"Hala, andaming bangkay."sabi ni Katelyn tapos tinakpan pa ang ilong niya. She's right, andaming bangkay dito. I'm pretty sure a war happened here. But I don't know kung may buhay pa ba dito.

Pakiramdam ko, ayoko nang kumain ng karne pagkatapos kong makita ang dinanas ng mga tao rito. They're just humans, wala silang kapangyarihan. They're innocent, how could they do this to them?
