Chapter 54

Speaking of him, I remembered what he said. He's serious on what he'd said. Can I reject him? I mean, we're too young to get married, and it's not on my list to get married. I'm confused with Crush. It's not about anything but, as time goes on he changes. Though, his sweetness is still there even though sometimes I get annoyed. Maybe he's tired.
I loved him. And I don"t want to lose him to me. Geez. If so, will I agree? Aishht !!
I shaked my head in frustration. I need to focus on this first.
I picked up a book. Well, this is about Past naman. I want to know what happened and why someone is returning to the past for revenge.
I read them all and I can say their past is tragic. I even picked up a book containing a list of names during their war Mama.
I want to confirmed something.
Based on the past, many sacrificed and died. In the list of names, there are many diseased (dead), there were also captives then and traumatized.
The book says, there is a daughter of the protagonist. The ex-headmaster kept that as a secret and also stated that the protagonist's daughter was studying at Moon Academy. The ex-HM accepted it because he proved that he had no bad intentions and wanted a quiet and dignified life.
They killed her father so much grief and anger of the woman. It was written here when they noticed that he was going crazy and crying every night.
The girl hid that and the former headmaster had just heard that he had left M.A. The ex-headmaster allegedly made a promise to the girl that she would not kill her father but was forced to cut off her forehead when he almost stabbed my Mama.
I looked again at the list in the book in the traumas section.
25 of them. 12 males and 13 females. One by one I read the name and they were purely diseased (dead), until I stopped at the 13th number. He is just alive and everyone is diseased.
My eyes widened and I couldn't believe the name I read.
I suddenly remembered the letter. I quickly borrowed a pen and paper from the librarian and then returned to my seat. I wrote the letter again.
'i aM the threat. i am the traitOr. I will give you unmeasurable chaoS and nightmarEs. i am the viLLain of this story and ruin this academy. taste my wrath for my revengE '
-'EIDNNS AEIOLRS '
I read what I wrote. Fortunately, I still know what big letters are that are not appropriate --- wait ...
Right! I immediately wrote what I realized. Then pocketed in pants. Dad needs to know this. Apart from the jumbled words on the chin, it's not papa's name. But the name of the traitor.
Its name is correct in the letter and in the list. He ... he is the real enemy !!
Other day, I couldn't tell Papa because he wasn't in their dorm, even Tita's and Tito.
The person I asked said that they had a meeting until the war broke out. Like, what the food ?! I can no longer say the important thing I learned. I asked where but no one seemed to know where they were meeting.
They go to the meeting early and late at night when they go home. Maybe I'll just go to church when Papa and I meet.
It's still snowing. And I don't know how to stop it. I don't know if it's because it's winter that I'm really the reason why it's winter?
I was wearing cold wear again and was alone outside, sitting on the bench. No one planned to go out because the temperature got colder. And it will be even colder tomorrow. There may also be a Storm winter and that is very dangerous. There is a chance that the academy and its creatures will be covered in ice and become statues.
I gasped and just watched the snow fall. They said they left the road this morning because the snow was thick and piled up. But now, there are many more.
Since it's only been nine days since the war, everyone is doing nothing. No one can train because this is the weather. And, it looks like my fault.
I gasped and closed my eyes firmly. Today, I will give the answer to Crush. There is no reason to say no because I love him but I do not agree with his plan to date.
I should tell my parents about this. About him.
I could feel the snow falling on my face but I frowned at the feeling that nothing was hitting my face.
I opened my eyes and immediately met his eyes. His dark red orbs eyes are sparkling. It's mesmerizing.
I can smell this masculine perfume that he used to use.
Faster than the snow he did to me. He kissed me. It's just a peck but But it has made my cheeks red and my heart is beating.
"I missed you" he sweetly said and even kissed his forehead. I blushed even more and looked like a lizard in front of him.
"Hey, speak love. I'm worried for your actions" he said worriedly and touched my shoulder.
I can't react nor speak. I'm just find out that I'm crying. His face was more worried and he hugged me.
"I'm sorry for my actions yesterday. I know I hurt you for what I did and gave the chick to Blessa. I was hurt and angry when King Stan probably kissed you and bragged about what he did to you" he explained. I nodded and he hugged her back tightly
"I-I'm s-sorry. It's .... all my fault..Why is that .... please come ... to me" I moaned. It's just the tightness in the chest that you harbor the sadness and pain. Then I was still confused by what was happening.
I feel like he kissed my buttocks. "It's fine, love. You didn't like what happened" he said and let go of the hug then wiped my new tears.
"This time, let's make it right. Let's work out our relationship, love." he said sincerely. I nodded and wiped away my tears and my cold. Geez. I'm embarassed.
He helped me stand up and held my two hands. I calmed down and took a deep breath.
"Devy" he called me. I don't know, I get annoyed with others when someone calls me that. But when he is, it"s okay.
I hesitant to look. Is he waiting my answers?
"C-Crush ... I .... I ...." I can't find my words either.
"Oh about what I've said yesterday, forget it. I was just carried away by my emotions. It's just ... I don't want others to get you so I said that. Devy, my love, I can't live without you" his sincere confession. I smiled. It was as if his words touched my heart. It's like someone is tickling me that I can't explain.
How I loved this man.
After that, we decided to take a walk down the chin. We did what lovers do. Buying some couple t-shirts, couple necklace, as long as there are couple things. We ate at the expensive restaurant and rode the ferris wheel again. This time, there were no distractions. It was cold and it was snowing.
After we watched we went to an r stuff toys machine.
I laugh out loud because Crush can"t get that picon already.
"I will burn this one" I stopped laughing and stopped him as it let out a dark fire.
Her magic is amazing. It's totally dark fire.
Next is, we go to the streetfoods we ate. We ate a lot again.
We even went ahead with the barbeque. It's quite fun and enjoyable.
Then, we went to an archery booth. When the middle one is targeted, there is a prize of a cute small panda stuff toy. He was just holding on.
"I don't know how to use that" he grinned.
I snatched the bow and arrow from him and smiled at him.
"Then, bet on me, Crush" I said with a wink as he laughed.
I adjusted the bow and arrow then aimed at the target. I didn't hold back and let go of the arrow, then boom !!
I got the panda stuff toy.
"Here" I said and handed him what I won. Smile smile he took it. "Thanks, love"
I bit my lip to keep from smiling when he called me 'Love', geez! I'm thrilled!
When we got tired we decided to take a walk in the park. It was late at night and the temperature was still the same, cold. There are many Lunaphiles here, mostly children playing and couples.
I looked at our holding hands, intertwined.
Snow keeps falling but not that fast. Only a few are falling and in a few minutes there will be no more snow. But there are still snowflakes floating there.
We decided to hang out on two swings. We sat there while still holding hands.
I glanced at Crush. It is bent and deep in thought.
"What's the matter?" I calmly asked. It turned to me and shook then sighed. Then smiled sweetly. I also smiled and looked to the front.
"What can happen to us after the war?" I heard him ask. I sighed and smiled.
"Well, Only future knows. A lot will happen. But let's just think of 'us' first." I said smiling and looked at him.
It smiled and nodded. "Right. Let's cherished these days left, and these moments, and be part of our good memories" he fueled and tightened the grip on my hand.
Silenced occured between us. Feeling each other. Enjoying the peace and calmness on us.
"I wish this happiness would never ends" I whispered.
"It does. If we just trust each other" I heard he answered.
"Right." I agreed. "So we have to do our best to survive the war. Who knows?" I added.
"Just keep holding on, love. We'll make it through" he cheered up and pinched my cheeks.
"Crush?"
"Yes, love?"
"Why did you like me?" I suddenly asked without looking at him.
It sneezes. "Because you have all the qualities of the woman I want. Your calm, beautiful and wise. I loved every inch of you, Love" he sincerely answered. I smiled and blushed.
"Eh you? Why did you like me?" he asked back. I looked at him. It bent and played with snow on the ground.
"I don't know. As far as I know I just love you without me noticing. I get jealous when women mention your name, I immediately miss you when I can't find you, I get upset when you don't notice, you make me smile at little things. I'm inloved with you, Crush. " I confessed. He smiled triumphantly and stood up then hugged me.
"I'm touched, thank you love. You make me happy today" he said. I smiled and nodded.
I let go of his hug and he made me stand up.
I was surprised when one of its knees knelt down and someone took it out of my pocket. My forehead furrowed as I saw a small red box pop up.
He slowly opened it and my lips parted when I saw what was inside.
It was a silver ring. There is an emerald in the middle of it. And obviously very expensive.
Wait .... Is he .....
"Can you be my officially girlfriend, Devy?" I covered my lips and my emotions were mixed. As my heartbeat pounds even more.
I think I'm gonna cry.
"Mahal?" he seconded. I looked at him and removed my hand from my mouth.
I held out my right hand to him then sighed. "If that fits on my index finger, I would gladly be your officially girlfriend" I challenged with a smile.
He grinned and removed the ring from the box. "This will be fit. This ring was proven and tested" he said arrogantly and slowly put the ring on my hand.
NAGKASYA.
His grin grew bigger. "So, my love ..." she said
I frowned but also smiled and nodded. It stood up and I looked at the ring on my finger.
"Finally, you're now mine." he said and smiled then hugged me tightly. I smiled a lot with great joy.
"Mine.Only."
7 DAYS LEFT before the war. No more snow but the weather is still cold.
Students can now practice again to further strengthen and protect the academy.
Moon Academy has an invisible barrier made by a strong spirit so no monster that rushes up to it can't get through.
As usual, we didn't do anything and just hung out on the training ground. We just made so many potions available earlier so noon.
We also finished lunch and it was time for a break. It's a pity and I didn't date Papa or Mama or even just their friends.
I sighed as I lay leaned on the wall. We were in a room and the four of us were rehearsing. Sparring daw.
I looked at my ring. I immediately touched it and smiled. That night was unforgettable for me. Finally, we are officially here, for real.
I was caught by the couple blue necklace I was wearing and the couple t-shirt was also black. It has the label Forever". The one with Crush is the brand 'Mine' and also black.
Imagined how sweet of Crush. Hayss ....
"Devon! You have a deliver!" Heaven shouted so I immediately turned to him who was already thrilled.
I frowned when I saw him holding a red small box. It still has a ribbon.
"From where?" I pretended to ask even though I already knew who it was from.
"Secret admirer. There's a letter 'C' in the note, then there's 'I love you'" Savannah read and the two were curious.
"Awieet !! I hope someone will give it to me too" Emerald said enviously.
"You mean, I hope we have a secret admirer too" Courtney said and smirked at the same time.
I immediately picked up the looking gift that Heaven had given me.
'I love you, love'
-C
That's exactly what they promised.
"Open it, Devon!" Courtney said excitedly. I immediately opened it and a row of chocolates opened up to me.
There is even a note on it so I immediately read it.
'My love for you are like a chocolates. Full and sweet '
I smiled. His corny. Just in case ...... I don't type chocolate.
"Kyaaaahhhh !!! Who is that, Devon! I'm thrilled !!" I turned to Heaven who was already trembling with excitement and even slapped Emerald's arm with a frown.
"Aray ko, Heaven! You're going to get hurt!" Emerald sighed and walked away. Heaven nodded.
"Ask for chocolate, you won't run out of it!" said Savannah and snatched the box containing the chocolate.
"Hey, ask for it!" Courtney's angel. Heaven and Emerald were kidnapped. They left the chocolate. I smiled to see how they looked.
"For you kids" I joked. They covered their mouths.
"Hehe, you totally ate Devon's chocolate" Heaven said
"What are you? G*ga! The four of us are exhausted!" asik ni Savannah
"Enough guys. It's okay, I also don't like chocolate" I waved at them and stood up then pocketed the note in my pants and rubbed my seat then approached them.
"Awts! It's a waste of the effort of the secret admirer, you don't want chocolate" I frowned at what Emerald said in a regretful tone.
"What a pity? You already ate it" I replied.
"Oh he is. I'll be the first" I said goodbye and passed them.
.
.
.
I left the training ground and decided to go to the rooftop first where Crush and I would meet.
.
.
.
A few minutes later I was immediately on the 5th floor of HB, where the dormitories and towards the rooftop.
You have to take a detour towards there and there is a ladder up so it's a bit tiring.
I turned and stopped when I saw someone kissing. I frowned and looked away because the couple kissed so hard. They were still blocking the path to the rooftop so I just turned around.
Though, the man looks familiar because his hair is white and he is tall.
I was about to take a step because I might disturb them when I didn"t expect to hear about a woman"s voice.
"Who do you love now, Baby? Me or your healer mate?"
I turned around again. They don"t seem to notice my presence.
HEALER? MATE?
"Of course, it's you, Baby" I gasp when this, second time, I heard his baritone and cold voice.
It was as if I felt a weight on my chest, my heartbeat suddenly speeding up for an unknown reason
That was the voice we were talking to when my mate was in the parking lot. But the difference now, I can clearly see him.
Even with her back turned, her white hair, resembles me that white haired guy, same height ..... I can't see who the woman is because this man blocked her.
"Good to know. My lips are better than her" I felt annoyed. Why am I feeling this? I'm not the one
"Yes. You're lips are better than my mate, Devon"
...................
I'm speechless
A-me? A-A-I am ..........
He ..... a-a-ang ..... m-m-mate k-ko?
I felt a fang on my chest. And it really hurts. It was as if a knife had pierced me over and over again with how I felt. Chest weight ...
B-why? Why do I feel this way?
"Then, loose your bond to her and claim me as yours" said the woman and kissed my mate again.
She is flirtatious. They flirt with that man!
I balled my fist in anger and pain, as my traitor tears escaped from my cheeks.
I backed away quietly and turned around then walked slowly around the corner I immediately ran towards our dorm while crying.
Why am I hurting? Why am I feeling this way?!
D*mn! Wake up, Devon! You have Crush!
I stopped when I reached our dorm. Panting I sat down on the floor and leaned against the door and bowed. My tears came out again.
I cried out of nowhere. It hurts .... a lot ...
Is my mate retaliating?
To be continued...
