I Saw You CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: Her Name
“Home?” I repeated in question. Home. I lived from one orphanage to another. I didn’t really have a permanent place to stay. I was alone but wasn’t lonely. I didn’t have a shelter of my own but I was home. For eighteen years, wherever I went, I was home. At first, I find it weird being comfortable with a new place at an instant, feeling home, but now I know why. It was because home was following me. Home doesn’t refer to a thing with doors and windows. Home is a person or even a ghost. Sadness slowly crept in my system. I just lost that home. Recently, I discovered that I got myself another home, Grip, but I lost them both right after another. “I guess I have a lot of explaining to do.” Governor chuckled. “But first, let’s get going.” He picked up one of my baggage while the rest was handled by Garzon who was silent the entire time. We head on the parking lot and Amanda kept on clinging in my arms on the way there. We were followed by stares from the students we passed by. We stopp
I Saw You CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: A Silverio
Lying down my bed, over the rumpled sheets, I shut my eyes forcing darkness to sweep over me. My eyes were deprived of light but my ears heard the surrounding, ticking of the clock, the rustling of the branch of tree against the glass window, sound of crickets, loud and clear, and my mind could picture them out vividly. I grabbed a pillow and covered it against my face. I rolled on the side of my bed groaning. It has been forever since a sleepless night visited me. I threw the pillow between my legs and stared at the ceiling letting their words after that grand welcome, at the dinning area, dive deep in my head for the nth time. “You’re a Silverio,” said Governor Arthuro. “We are sissies by blood!” Amanda squealed. “You are the late Mistress Sierra’s daughter,” the old woman added. I am a Silverio. Four words that were enough to keep me up the entire night. I have always dreamed of having a family, a happy complete family. Now that I have, I don’t know how I feel. It was odd. I s
I Saw You CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO: Family
I opened my eyes and roamed my sight spotting for Gugu. I sighed deep. Here I go again. I gathered my things and get ready for school. It took me minutes before reaching the door. I still haven’t got used to my huge room. I felt like I might get lost anytime. I went out and looked on my right expecting a handsome man leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets and his head tilting in my direction, hair dancing above his shoulder, but instead, I saw three silver maids coming out from Amanda’s room. The maids looked both confused and terrified. “How could she even do that by herself?” said the maid on the right. “What made her so furious to wreck everything in the room?” uttered by the one on the left. “It was the return of the next mistress of the Silverio’s mansion,” the middle maid answered. “What’s going on?” I interfered that made them took few steps backward in shock. “G-Good morning, young mistress.” It took the three of them some time before greeting me with a bow
I Saw You CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO: Selfish and Selfless
The car stopped in front of a huge white house, the Harrison’s. Nothing has changed. It still looked sinister from the outside but the aura of lost souls increased. The man in the garden, the woman in the window, the kids on the terrace, and the old man at the racking chair were all still there. “I’ll be the one to pick you up. Call me anytime, Serra.” He handed me a box. I accepted and opened it. It was a newly released brand new phone. “Amanda’s number and mine are there,” he said. I nodded and went out of the car. “Thank you for this.” I raised the box. “And for the ride too.” “No need to thank me, Serra. You are my daughter.” His expression remained the same, flinty. I nodded again and closed the door. I waved as he drove away. My lips automatically curved a smile. My daughter, two words but were enough to make me happy. What Amanda told me about his father, our father, was different from what I see. She said that they have a little time together, that they rarely eat together
I Saw You CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO: Love Triangle
“It’s time to leave.” A man in black coat suddenly appeared in front of the room’s door. “Xyrus...” She stretched out her hand to her grandson. “Yes, grandma?” He swiftly took her hand and sat on the bed beside her. “Take care of yourself. Stick with Serra. She’s your only hope.” She grabbed my hand and put it together with Xyrus’. He was confused but looked away with reddened face. Grandama’s grip in our hands loosened. She already closed her eyes. Her soul went out of her body. She looked at Xyrus then at me. She was leaving her grandson to me. The reaper sliced in the air with his scythe and a line of light followed creating a door to the other side. She glanced back at us one last time before crossing over. “Rest well, grandma.” Xyrus lend over and kissed his grandma’s forehead. The ghosts inside the mansion started leaving through the wall, window, ceiling, floor, anywhere. I felt different emotions from them but one thing was the same, fear. “Why are they leaving?” I asked
I Saw You CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO: Galaxy
“I swear! I don’t know.” Xyrus raised his hand for the nth time when I glared at him again. The boy was still shivering. I grabbed a thick cloth in the cabinet and covered the boy but was useless. My left brow rose when his tremble slowed. I averted my gaze at the little girl beside me. She was looking at the little boy. She extended her hand to his direction trying to reach him. My hand moved as if it has a mind of its own and grabbed the little girl’s hand. Her hand was warm despite her being a lost soul. I gasped jerking my hands off her. I-I just touched a ghost! I walked backwards while staring at my hands. How was that even possible? “H-Hey...” Xyrus grabbed my shoulders and hid behind me. My lips distorted in disbelief. What a scaredy-cat. I returned my sight to the girl and she was looking at me. Her lips parted as though time slowed down. She was mumbling something but all I heard was gargling sound. I narrowed my eyes and focused on her lips. “H-Help...” she uttered a
I Saw You CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: I Killed You
SERRA During the weekends, I stayed at the mansion and on the dorm at weekdays. The cafe was temporarily closed because of Grandma’s funeral. I’ve talked to Dad that I will continue to work at the cafe. The cafe needs me at this crucial time since Grandma is gone and Xyrus didn’t really know how to handle a business. “Preston Grey?” our teacher called. I glanced at the seat on my right and it was empty. “Absent again?” A week had passed since the last time we saw each other. It was at the reapers’ den. Seeing someone’s death happen before the actual event is amazing. Having the power to save other souls is great. The only burden was when you see two deaths at a time and you have to choose. Choosing means you get to decide who deserves to die and who deserves to live. I am just a sealer and I don’t know why the heavens granted me such a beautiful burden. What I am scared the most is the time when I have to choose between persons I love, persons that are important to me. Choosing be
I Saw You CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: Past
“I... killed you,” I repeated looking at him. He hissed with eyes unbelievably staring at me. “Are you really going that far just to drive me away?” I shook my head shutting my eyes firmly and yelled. “I... I killed you!” He stretched his arm to hold both of my shoulders. “Okay... calm down, Serra–” “Don’t touch me!” I shove his hand away. What I did made the both of us froze. Seeing his eyes that were in pain pinched my heart. I want to grab unto him to make up with what I did, but I couldn’t bring myself to do so. I lifted my hand multiple times to reach for him but those times ended the same way, I hesitated and lowered my hand. I curled my fingers into fists and hid them behind me. I tightened my fist. I was still shivering. I lowered my face, closed my eyes and gritted my teeth. I’m afraid. I am more frightened right now than the times I risked my life. I might end up doing the same thing in my vision. I am scared of the possibility of hurting him, putting an end to his exis
