Chapter 1
"Get the hell out of this house, Feion Davilla!" Auntie Astrid yelled at me, her handa on her waist and glaring at me like I killed someone in front of her.
"Y-yes Auntie," I immediately answered and left her alone inside her big mansion. I took my bike as it was parked near the gate.
Once again, I looked at her mansion and took a deep breath before I started biking.
What happened to her again this time? Why does she become like this again? Is it her menopausal process now? But it's nearly impossible because I think she's still in her 30's. Maybe she's just in a bad mood that's why she's yelling and mad at me again.
She's the one who took care of me since I was a child, she stood up as my parents until I reached my own decision. However, she did not failed to make me feel like I'm utterly alone in this world. When I started to think, she always make me do hard works like I'm not a kid. Err, she's like that. And another thing, you can't see maids in her house. All she do is make me do all in her house but she never fails to give me foods and my needs as a girl. That's fair for me.
Auntie Astrid is kinda weird because I've never seen her work but she has a lot of money. She's always leaving and come back like she was tired, seems like she fought but never brought anything. Even though, I never dared to ask her because she'll only answered you with an angered shout.
The school is just near at the mansion so I got there.
The school is Auntie Astrid's property so I think it's okay if I'm a bit late or what. That doesn't matter, Auntie Astrid is a war freak girl. But, she's rich.
"Hi fei!" The guard greeted.
"Hi!" I greeted back and smiled at him, widely.
As I used to, I parked my bike near at guards house. I used to park my bike here so I know where will I get it and there's a lot of bully in this school so what if they take my bike and dump it somewhere? So it's nice that we have a guard house here. Well, that guard can't complain because she knows my family is Auntir Astrid, who was protecting me.
As far as I remember, the last girl who bullied me was expelled in this school, called Murphy High School. Deserve.
I'm in my first senior high school and I can say that subjects are sucks, specially math. Biology is far better than any mathematic subject. I really hate it.
I entered the room without looking at my classmates who are watching me from toe to head, well probably judging me? I just don't care. I sat on the end of chair line, on the right side and I don't have a seatmate.
History is our first subject so it wasn't really a boring one. When the lunch break came, I walked out of the room and planned to eat. Where would I eat?
"Where the hell is that?" I'm walking through the gate but I can't find my hair clam. Oh my god, where is my clam?!
"Whe- Oh fuck, sorry!" I was about to say something but I bumped into someone so I just said sorry to that person. I'm looking for my clam so I don't have a time to look to that person.
"Nice."
I stopped walking when I heard a voice. It's just a whisper but I heard it loudly. I looked at my surroundings but I just saw students walking around. Others looked around me like I'm a weirdo because I'm trying to find something.
I tilted my head. "Weird," The only word I uttered.
I smiled widely when I found my clam on the pocket of my bag. Fuck. It's just right here but why can't I find it earlier? Did someone hide it on purpose?
As usual, I didn't tell anyone that I'm leaving because it's not allowed but the subject is mathematics so I left. I still have 3 hours of vacant before the physics. Math again.
Can I just study without solving any equation?
Psh, math makes my life harder. But of course, it's still worst math than living with Auntie Astrid. I'll just die.
I ride my bike and go to Jamaica's house. Jamaica is ny only friends here in school. She's lovable, smart, and kind. But we are not classmates since we took different majors.
Near at their village, I saw a kid running on the middle of the highway to get something, it was her toy. She's running and no one seems interested to her. Where are her parents? It's dangerous for a kid to go out like that.
~Beep~~Beep~
It's like a slowmo in my eyes when I heard a loud beep of a truck, coming from the kid's back. I stopped biking and left my bike there. I only have one thing in my mind right now, I have to save the child!
It was too late. I'm far away from her and the truck is already near at her. "N-no….." I said and absentmindedly reach her direction using my hands, it's as if I can.
"Oh my god! The child!" I heard someone hysterically shouted that drove out attention of people but it was too late.
"My child! Someone save her." The woman cried loudly when she realized it was her daughter.
I tried to reach her again. My eyes widened when everything just stopped. IT ALL STOPPED! Like fuck, no one is moving at all! Even the child!
I looked around me and saw everything is not moving. I even saw the truck completely stopped like they were all stuck and I'm the only one that is alive!
"Oh my god! Everything is not moving! What the fuck?!" I shout but no one heard me!
I repeatedly wiped my eyes, for maybe I'm just hallucinating things but everything is still not moving. It's real!
My heartbeats fastened. I took the child and get her out in the middle of the highway. Absentmindedly. I put her beside her statue mother who's is crying but even her tears are not moving! I looked around again and saw that no one is moving at all! It's making me scared what the fuck!
It's just me who didn't stuck! I'm the only one who can move.
I looked around again and run toward my bike, I ride on it and immediately left there. I didn't even know how I was riding my bike. My mind wasn't okay. I can't even think straight! All I know is I'm riding my bike, going somewhere.
What was that?! How it was like that?! Who did that!? Did I do that?! There's so many questions running inside my head right now. I couldn't think straight anymore. Those things are only possible in fantasy series I've read on books. What do you call that?
Magic?
With that, I felt my body giving up. It's just so hard to sink in my mind. It's like a dream! It's a different dream, but if it was I don't like to wake up, I'd like to go everywhere and save people.
I didn't even know how I got at Jamaica's house and she's also asking me why am I like this? She knows if there's something wrong about me. But she didn't ask things, we just left their house and go in our mansion. For sure, Auntue is not there this time.
"Hey, Fei!" She snapped which made me go back to my senses.
"H-huh?"
"Hotdog! Hahahaha!" She said and laughed hard and loud.
"Shut up!" I glared at her. I don't know if I will tell her what happened to me earlier. She might not believe me because even I don't believe it. It's such a big thing to believe.
She stopped laughing and looked at me seriously. "Okay, okay. What's happening to you? You're not yourself again." She asked me. I shook my head, saying it's nothing.
We were about to enter the house but she stopped. "Wait!" Nervously, she said.
"What?" I asked her, surprised.
"Is Auntie Asty here?" She nervously asked.
I smirked. "I won't bring a gun without bullet." I said meaningly but I didn't expect her not to get it.
She came to my arms in surprise. "Huh? What do you mean? You're not planning to kill Auntie Asty, right?"
My smile faded. This girl. Oh my god. As if I can kill her, I'm not a murderer. "You! You're the gun and I'm the bullet. You're useless if I can't enter you. Okay?" I answered. "Come let's enter, I'm 100% sure that she's not here." I added and forced her to enter.
"But we won't kill Auntie Astrid, right?" She asked again, nervously.
Like stupid. As if I can kill her! Duh! Her imagination is really something.
I was silent for a moment and stared inside our house. There's no traces that Auntie Astrid is here right now and I know when will she going home everyday.
I stopped myself from laughing because she's scared right now but I stayed serious. "Actually, I need to tell you something. Important." I guaranteed that my tone scares her more.
She hit my arms lightly. " Fuck you! You're creeping me the hell out, Fei!" She said while sulking and I can't help but to laugh.
"Hahahaha!" I laugh hard, thinking about her scared face awhile ago.
She glared at me at rolled her eyes. I let my self burst out laughing before going after her. When I get there, I saw her sitting and eating her favorite cake, which was my favorite too.
But among the foods, red velvet cake is my favorite. Really.
I can sacrifice everything for red velvet cake, haha. It's my favorite foods in the
Kaya kong isuko ang lahat para sa lang sa Red Velvet Cake, hehe. Iyon ang pinaka paborito ko sa lahat at hindi ko kayang mabuhay ng hindi kumakain non.
That food is my weakness though.
"But you know what? Tita Asty is really weird right?"
I sat in front of her, took a cake and ate it. I didn't showed her that I'm shocked to her question.
"Huh? She's always been like that, haha." I laughed sarcastically.
"Ahh, how can you tolerate her?" She asked.
"You know me Jam, I won't waste my time putting irritation on a person who never shows me a real love." I said.
She was stunned and slowly nodded her head. Maybe it sinks on her mind what I'm trying to say. Well, that's true. Auntie Astrid never fails to provide me with money but that's how bad she treats me. Not even a time that I felt like she really cared to me, I never felt that she even loves me.
Auntie Astrid will just look to me and glares!
She has been like that, I even thought that it's because she doesn't have a husband! Hahaha!
I laughed on my mind because of that thought.
Both of us didn't say a thing until she asked me something that makes me shocked, never expecting her to ask me that kind of question.
"Do you believe in magic?"
