ALIYAH POVA cold wind welcomed me as I rushed outside to find Alaric. Time flies so fast. This 6-year-old boy turned out to be extremely handsome and naughty at the same time. I felt the energy that drew the corners of my lips to lift toward my eyes. I smiled as he approached to show me a red medium rock that he had found somewhere.I kneel to look at his eyes, smile, and nose. Everything about him perfectly resembles his father. It has been six years, but those memories still paint so clearly to me. I am not scared anymore; that nightmare made me the strongest.Sa buhay natin, we have our fear and darkness to overcome. But God always gives us trials to help us grow stronger and wiser. This world is full of mystery. Goodness and evil always serve as a balancing force. It will depend on the individual which force he or she will welcome. I looked around, ang ganda ng panahon. The sun shines so bright and the blue sky is always captivating. May mga puting ibong malayang lumilipad. I was
ALIYAH POVMy throat feels like it is burning with flames. I can’t erase the fact that I almost died in that deep water that feels like an eternity of suffering. Despite the darkness, a prince of darkness arrived, but not to spread evil. This time he became my light. His eyes were like a fire of hope, his voice served as my strength. Lorenzo gave me the power to fight this fear. I composed myself and pushed open the car door. A smell of metallic blood welcomed me. I looked around to see lifeless bodies scattered like trash. I felt two cold hands grabbed me from behind.“Aaliyah, it’s me!” I looked at her, I almost didn’t recognize her. Si Kate pala. She looked pale and had blood all over her body. I hugged her tight. I feel happy to see her safe.“What happened to you Kate?” parang sasabog ang puso ko while looking at her.“They betrayed me Aaliyah, hindi ko alam na ito pala plano nila,” she sobbed.“Please Kate, stop crying,” wala siyang kasalanan, we are both a victim here. Akala k
LORENZO POVDumilim ang aking paningin nang makita kong tinapon nila si Aaliyah sa malalim na tubig. I felt a surge of power in my whole body and all I want to do is to kill everyone in front of me. I place my hands beside each other, my left hand facing up, and my right hand facing down and then I conjure my dark magic. Hindi na nakasigaw ang limang lalaki, dahil nauna na nilang isuka ang dugo mula sa kanilang mga bibig. Sa ilang segundo, agad na silang binawian ng buhay. I destroyed all their organs, I want instant death for them.Hindi na ako nagdalawang isip pa, I jumped into the water. I need to save Aaliyah. I pulled her hands and helped her out of the water. “Aaliyah, please be strong. I’m here now!” I hugged her tight and kissed her forehead. Nakaahon kami sa tubig at dinala ko siya sa taas ng tulay. She was not responding. I held her wrist and I realized that she was in a state of paralysis. Gamit ang aking itim na mahika, sinubukan kong gisingin muli ang kanyang natutulog na
ALIYAH POVMaaga akong nagising ngayong araw. I had my breakfast outside the mansion. The weather is perfect today. Habang kumakain, naalala ko ang Snake dagger na nakita ko sa kwartong iyon. It was my first time to see a dagger that was as mysterious as that one. But beside that dagger, mas naiintriga ako kay Benedict. Hindi siya mawala sa isip ko, may kutob akong hindi maganda. Lumingon ako sa napaka-laking mansyon niya. Napakaganda ng disenyo nito, mukhang itinayo mula noong unang panahon. Ngayong araw si Kate muna ang magbabantay sa baby ko. She wants me take a rest and enjoy this place. While roaming my eyes around, witnessing the majestic view of this land, dumating ang isang katulong para tawagan ako.“Ma’am, iniimbitahan ko po kayo ni sir Benedict sa kanyang opisina,” wika nito. I nodded and followed behind her. Habang papunta sa kanyang opisina, hindi mawala sa akin ang isang masamang kutob. Ngunit pilit ko itong binabaliwala. I try to convince myself that we are here in Bene
ALIYAH POVDumaan ang mga buwan, I remained in the custody of the Guardians. I t wasn’t easy for me to accept that my father was gone. Despite of everything that had happened, I am still lucky to have Kate with me. Papalit-palit kami ng lugar hanggang sa nanganak ako. It was too painful to give birth. Ramdam ko na ang isa kong paa ay nasa hukay. Akala ko hindi ko kaya, akala ko hindi ko maisisilang sa mundo ang aking anak. While I struggled during my labor, all I can imagine was Lorenzo’s face. Huling impormasyong nakuha ko ay noong sinabi ni Kate na narito sa mundo namin si Lorenzo and that she took Teresa away. From that time, wala na akong nakuhang impormasyon pa. Alam ko na ang dahilan kung bakit papalit-palit kami ng tirahan ay dahil gusto akong protektahan ng guardians mula kay Lorenzo.I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. I named him Alaric. He has his father’s eyes, nose and mouth. Magkamukha sila. I treat my son as the most precious thing I have in this life. Mula nang oras na
CHAPTER 52LORENZO POVI felt the warmth of my fingers as I tightened my grip on this glass of wine. Every drop has a lingering effect on me as always. I want to sink a good half-bottle right now as I remember that day when I thought that I could have lost her forever.Hindi ko mapapatawad ang aking sarili kung may mangyaring masama kay Aaliyah. Lalo na ngayon na alam kong magkaka-anak na kami. Kahit isang minuto ayaw kong mawala sila sa isipan ko. Hindi ko makakalimutan kung paano nanginig ang buo kong katawan habang tumatakbo upang tingnan kung sino ang nahulog sa building. My eyes widened in fear when I saw Aaliyah’s father lying dead. Blood crawls around him. I turned around to see my sister standing, her eyes full of anger. She killed Aaliyah’s father, my vision turned red and all I can remember was me attacking my sister. She fought back but her strength depleted. I can see her skin suffered from burns. I smelled holy water around. I knew it, someone used holy water against her.
