Chapter 14

I am now walking towards the scentea where Odette and I will meet. I really don't know what to say to them but I want to say goodbye. I also want to thank them for being my friends for the mean time. But maybe, they are just part of my memories.
When I got inside I saw Odette sitting at the same table. They seem to know that I will talk to them all at once. They all looked at me and smiled, I never returned their smile and walked straight towards them.
When I was able to sit down I rested deeply. "Guys, I really appreciate each time we've spent together ..." I began.
"I hate to say this but I'm leaving ... I came here so I can tell you this personally. I can't just leave you alone. You've also become a part of my life ..." The heat began to heat up. both sides of my eyes while looking at them.
"Your twin already explained this to us ... he said you're moving to Antique." Cassidy said. I nodded while biting my lips to prevent myself from sobbing.
"I'm really sorry guys, I really owe you a lot. I'm so sorry if I can't be in Psalm's upcoming contest ..." I said calmly. I heard them all sighed, and tried to smile at me.
"It's fine. It's okay with us, the important thing is that you're safe where you move." Cassidy said and I also noticed the watering of her eyes. Cassidy ...
I will never be safe, Cassidy ... I wanted to say that out loud. But I don't want them to worry about me again, I am worrying them too much.
"Don't forget us ah? Because we're not really, that's nice of you!" Odette tried to lighten up the mood. I smiled.
"Of course, I can't forget you being my first friend. How can I forget you?" They nodded at me, I looked at Psalm and I noticed he hadn't spoken before.
"Hays, Sabrina then I can't go to your house and taste the food there." Eren said sadly, Stan punched him so I just laughed at what he did.
"Oh, you really are! Pure food you're thinking!" Stan said laughing. Eren just scratched his neck and smiled at me.
I'll miss them so much ... they just make me happy at school. And for, Psalm ... I really wish we can have a real closure. But I don't think we can talk about it properly because I still can't get out of my mind what his father did.
I can't forgive what his father did to Saint ... But I can't blame Psalm because Psalm has nothing to do with what his father did ...
"What are you going to do? After you move?" Stan suddenly asked. He's right. What am I going to do?
Saint is no longer by my side, I don't know where my life is going if Saint is not here guiding me. He is the only reason why am I still living here. But now? I don't think so I can put a sincere smile at my face again ...
"Maybe I'll just continue my studies and get a job and live a normal life just what everybody wants." I said, but that's not true. Because I'm not sure if I can still study or if I can still leave the house ...
Everything is in chaos. I no longer knew what I would do in the next few days. I badly want some help but I know no one can help me now but myself.
"That's nice. Visit us here sometime huh? When you have time!" Smiling Eren said, I nodded at him.
"I'll try Eren." I'll try ...
I feel so relieved while talking to them as if a part of my heart has been formed because Odette and I have all gotten along. I can finally leave, this place with no worries.
When I got home I saw Savienna and Pierce talking outside the mansion. I raised my eyebrows and quietly approached them, they looked at me and Savienna's eyes immediately widened. What's wrong?
"Sabrina, here it is .." Savienna said she still looked shocked. What are they talking about with Pierce?
"Why are you out here?" I asked Savienna. I looked at Pierce and as usual he just had a poker face and didn't seem to know the world.
"Ahm, because Saint's cousins ​​are inside there they are talking about what to do with his body..whether to be buried or cremated." I felt pain in my chest. Saint's body ... I sighed. The whole truth really hurts me so bad.
I got nervous. Cousins. His family that I have never seen. I was about to go inside when Savienna stopped me immediately.
"Don't come in first, everybody is being chaotic. I don't want to hurt you inside." Savienna said, my forehead furrowed at what she said. Madamay? What does he mean?
"Hey Sabrina just listen to us okay? We'll leave Antique early." She added.
"Why?" I'm confused question.
"Sudalga's are planning to ambush everyone, including you." I immediately intervened in what Pierce said. I looked at Saint's mansion and immediately my chest tightened.
The house I considered I could never tread on again. Even the only person I trust the most is also gone now, I can't even imagine life without Saint but ... I must move on. God has plans for me.
"Aren't you going to do anything?" Savienna suddenly asked me and I immediately turned to her and raised an eyebrow at her.
"Saint is killed by them, they are planning to ambush the people you love. And here you are acting like a teenage girl, as if broken hearted." Laughing Savienna said, I was immediately confused by Savienna's change of temperament. Earlier she was very gentle but I think her psychotic mode just rage on.
"There's nothing I can do. I'm weak Savienna." I simply say. I looked at Pierce and saw he was busy on his cellphone.
"Stop talking nonsense Sabrina, we Lacsamana's are born to be mafias. Maybe you're the only one who can be different from everyone ..." She exposed. Is he saying we have another family involved in the underground?
"You're not even going to do anything? The people you trust are having faith in you to have a revenge for Saint's death. And here you are chilling like a cool teenage girl." Savienna said sarcastically.
Revenge? I have no plans for that. I am too weak for that, I can't even protect myself when I'm alone, can I take revenge? All my life I'm only depending on Saint. And losing him is also the ruin of half of my life.
"I can't Savienna, I can't fight. I am not strong like you." I say weakly. Savienna took a deep breath and looked me straight in the eye.
"Listen you stupid. Will you just let the Sudalgas take you? Saint has been protecting you even though his replacement is alive. And here you are doing nothing, it's time for you to make a move Sabrina. It's time for you to stop depending on someone. Move, protect your own life. Saint is not here anymore to become your knight. " Because of what Savienna said I realized everything.
Saint is protecting me even if it costs his life. And here I am depending on him in my whole life. I should help him, I should be the one to finish on what he started.
I can't let anyone hurt the people I love anymore. I won't let them touch any strands of their hair. Savienna is right, because without Saint I can no longer be weak. I can't just rely on Pierce and them.
I looked at Savienna. She raised her eyebrows like she is waiting for my answer. I sighed.
"Savienna, help me. Enroll me to the underground school." I finally said. A wide grin showed to Savienna's face and even Pierce looked at me with amusement.
"Cool! That's right!"
Pierce and Savienna and I hid until Saint's cousins ​​left. Ate Mary also went with them, even though Ate Mary didn't want to say that I knew she was mad at me. He did not accept the loss of Saint. Even I was furious with myself why I didn"t do anything during those times.
It"s true what Savienna said that I only rely on Saint. And now that he is gone I have no strength. But I had to get up. I don't want to hope again, I have to protect myself.
"Sabrina, pack your things up. Pierce will drive us to Antique." Savienna said, I nodded softly to her and walked into my room. I first looked down the hallway of our floor and took a deep breath.
I need to see Saint's room once again before leaving. I don't know why my feet just carried me to the door of Saint's room. I know Saint's passcode in here, it's my birthday. And he even enrolled my finger print and my eye features just so I could enter his room.
I scanned my fingers and my eye and entered his room. The first thing that struck me was the addictive smell of Saint"s room. Suddenly my chest ached and I just sat on the side of the bed.
"Saint ... why did you suddenly leave?" I whispered through my breath and rested deeply. I caressed the picture frame on the side of Saint's bed. It's our picture with Ate Mary and Lolo Santi.
The family picture I loved the most. I roamed around Saint's room. The memories here with him ... I'll never forget it all. Never. Those memories will always be in my heart.
I opened Saint's walk in closet and grabbed some of his shirt. Maybe I should bring one as a souvenir? I was just shaken by what I thought.
When I got out of Saint's room I was carrying the picture frame on Saint's bed table and a tshirt from his closet. I may sound like a perv but I just want to bring some memories before I leave this mansion.
I went into the bedroom and started packing my things up. I looked at my cellphone and took a deep breath, I grabbed it and turned it on. Immediately the picture of Saint's frowning face popped up in front of me. I smiled. I remember this picture ...
[Flashback]
"Come on Saint! Just a simple picture will do, I just want to make wallpaper." I laughed saying while I had my cellphone in my hand that I was ready to take a picture of him.
"No baby! I hate pictures okay? I want the two of us. The two of us are even better wallpapers." He suggested. I shook my head with him.
"Nah-ah, Saint. I want a solo picture of you smiling." I said with a smile. He's unfair, he has so many pictures of me on his phone while I'm at least one, I don't have a picture of him!
"I will never smile in front of a camera, baby." He said seriously, i pouted. I sighed and looked at him, he wasn't looking at me and his forehead was furrowed.
I took the opportunity to take a picture with him in that situation. When I took a picture of him, he immediately looked at me with his forehead still furrowed.
"What? You look so gorgeous here Saint! Look at your nose it's standing proud! Even if you meet your eyebrows, then look at your jawline, you also have your red eye. You're handsome here, I swear." I smiled and said to him, I saw the criticism of his ear at what I said.
"You can't just compliment me like that baby! My heart is going to burst!" He has a hard time saying.
I just ignored him and set that picture as my wallpaper. I just smiled and showed it to him, he just shrugged at me and made me laugh.
[End of Flashback]
I didn't realize that I was crying while just staring at my cellphone. Damn Saint, I maybe crazy for asking this but please ...
Please comeback to me, my baby. I miss you so much ...
I just stared out the window of Pierce's car as my earphones plugged into my ear. I looked in the side mirror and I could clearly see the image of Saint"s mansion. It was dark and obviously uninhabited. Those memories ... I will never forget about it Saint ...
I sighed. I looked at Savienna who was in the front seat, she was just looking at her laptop they both look so serious. I just rested heavily and decided to close my eyes and sleep.
[Fast-forward]
When we got to Antique we were greeted by a man Pierce called Manzo. I looked at the simple but modern house in front of us. Manzo says security is high here and it seems to have been erased from the map because it is not mat-tracked by anyone.
All the rooms here also have surveillance cameras connected to the base where Saint's peotection squad is located.
"Sabrina, you have a room with a brown door, security is high there and no one can just enter. Even your twin." I just nodded to Manzo.
"Ignatius are you staying here too?" Manzo asked, Pierce nodded and I looked at Savienna and just shrugged.
"I see, there are five rooms here and you also have a room in the basement that you will take care of as long as Sabrina is in the room with the brown door." Manzo said again. I saw Savienna's teasing look at Manzo.
"I promised myself to Hellion that whatever happens I'll protect the one he loves. I am just fulfilling my promise." Savienna just shrugged.
I didn't do anything and just entered the room that Manzo said. It's bigger than my room in Saint's mansion, it has its own TV and even a jacuzzi! Wtf? This house looks small from the outside, i didn't expect it to be this huge!
When I had arranged all my belongings, I just lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling. This is my first step of being alone ... this is me not depending on a person.
I also left the cellphone that Ate Mary gave me at Saint's mansion. I don't want to be contacted by them ... I know they will only blame me for Saint's death. It sounds so lame but I am just escaping their blames.
I heard the door open and saw Savienna enter, but before she could enter there was an automatic scan of her entire body before she could get completely inside.
I sat on the bed and he also sat next to me.
"Are you sure about enrolling there?" She asked.
"Oo Savienna, I already said it and I can't just take it back." I said. Savienna smiled at me genuinely, the very first smile she showed me that was not tainted with evil. She looks exactly just like me.
"Enrollment is only available during midnight. So you need to sleep now because we're going there tonight at midnight." She said.
"Don't they know me there? Maybe many will know me and I'll be damned." I said.
"Don't worry, you'll use a different name. You are not Sabrina there. I am not Savienna there too." He says laughing. Ah, I get it. Having a Lacsamana in your name is just so dangerous.
"Who are you there?" I asked her.
"Reina Hernandez. And you? Because we look alike, you will be Reian Hernandez, my twin."
Me ... as a different person, again. Before it's Danica and now it's Reian. I smiled at Savienna and just nodded.
"Sleep now. I'll wake you up later."
Savienna woke me up exactly at 11PM, she said the underground base was still far away so we had to be early. We are now traveling by Pierce's car. Savienna is in the front seat while I am in the backseat, I am carrying some of my clothes because Savienna said that once I am enrolled, they will give me a room to stay.
I didn't quite agree at first but I didn't do anything because if I didn't stay there they might suspect me. I was a little nervous, because they might know that I was a Lacsamana.
But Savienna assured me, that everything is going to be fine. That I have nothing to worry about yet.
"Sabrina, here we are." I was even more nervous because of what Savienna said. I nodded at her and got out of the car, Pierce helping me carry my stuff while Savienna fixed her hair.
"Hey, do I look like a psychopath now?" She suddenly asked and looked at us, her eyes ... her looks were scary again.
I looked at Pierce and he just gave me a thumbs up so I didn't do anything so I just nodded.
"Fix your face Sabrina, they read people well. Fix your expression, show your dark side." I nodded at her and took a deep breath, I didn't know how to look like Savienna so I remained my bitch face rest at my face.
"Well, I hope you can make it more psychotic but I know you can't. Just avoid being soft." Savienna's reminder, I nodded at her and took a deep breath.
I looked around and noticed that we seemed to be on top of a hill, and it's surrounded by tall trees. So people don"t notice it very much.
We stopped at a huge gate, it's made with steel and at a glance it's obvious how durable it is.
Savienna pressed something so it suddenly opened. I looked around and was amazed, it was just like a normal school but bigger, wider and there were so many detours.
I followed Savienna's walk and we stopped in front of a door. I read the sign above the door, 'Headmaster's Quarter'
"Bitch face, Reian." I nodded at Savienna's whisper to me, we went inside but Pierce just left outside.
When we entered I immediately noticed the room was very elegant. The floor is made of marble, and the walls are designed marvelously.
"God." Savienna spoke softly and I was surprised when suddenly a man came out of a corner.
He looks ... so scary. He is wearing a mask, and he has a scar on his face, from his forehead to his cheek.
"Reina Hernandez. One of the best students. What do you want?" His baritone voice went shivers down to my spine.
"Deus meet my twin ..." Savienna said and immediately pulled me next to her. The man he called Deus looked at me.
"Another Hernandez with the blood of a mafia?" God asked. I saw savienna winked and smiles creepily. I remained my resting bitch face.
"I want to enroll her, here. She got unbelievable sense of environment, and speed. I just think she needs to improve, for her to be better." Savienna explained. Deus approached us and I saw his stare at me.
"Are you really sure to enroll her here? You know what she can go through here." God stated.
"Yes, Deus. I know she can do it. I know she is strong enough to graduate just like me." Savienna said.
"Reina, you graduated this school in just 8 months. Are you sure she is as good as you?" There was mixed doubt in Deus' voice. I have nothing to say because this is the first time I have been here.
"Absolutely, Deus. Reian is as good as me. And maybe? Stronger than me." Savienna said smiling.
"Do you kill?" Deus suddenly asked me. I was immediately nervous at what he said.
"I-it depends in the situation." I said nervously. Deus raised an eyebrow so I was even more nervous.
"Do you know how to use knives? Or sword?" I immediately shook my head.
"N-no, I never used one before." Deus's eyes narrowed because of my answer, I can't lie!
"Can you fire a gun?" I shook again.
"I never tried." I answered.
"Then where does your confident came from? You are entering a school who trains people to be a pro mafias. And you are telling me that you can't even hold or use any weapons?" I looked at Deus. Is he doubting me?
"You don't trust my sister, do you?" I said directly while looking into his eyes.
"What do you mean? Of course, I does!"
"If you trust her, then you must believe on what she said about me. That I am just as good as her and maybe stronger than her." I said emphatically, I saw the shock in his eyes. I one hundred percent thank Saint for teaching me how to manipulate a conversation. He must be proud of me right now.
"That's not what I mean! I just want to make sure you are qualified of being here." He said.
"Of course I do, I am the twin sister of the woman who just passed this school in eight months. We have the same genes. So I am sure that I am qualified for this school." I said.
"Okay, you have the attitude and the skill ..." He whispered softly.
I looked at Savienna and she just smiled at me and gave me a thumbs up.
"I already called the President in this school, he will lead you to your new dorm room."
"And, welcome to this school. You are now officially enrolled here."
After the scene in Deus' office, Peirce and Savienna went home, Savienna said that it was like I was in a normal boarding school but the teaching was different. The School President also took me to my dorm.
I was even a little amazed at the size of the dorm here, bigger duck in my room at Saint"s mansion. And in Manzo's house, it has its own comfort room, kitchen, bedroom and living room. It's like an apartment.
I looked at the wall and saw the uniform hanging there. Three uniforms were there, a school uniform with a black blazer, white long sleeves blouse, red neck tie and a skirt that was black and had a white line at the end. One is like a gym uniform that"s weird, and the other is like a combat uniform.
The School President explained to me what that was for.
Because I was bored I thought of just wandering around the school. I put on a hoodie and locked my dorm and started walking. It's a bit dark and it's getting cold.
I can't help but map the size of this school, where did they get the funds to build it? That it is not under the Philippine government.
Maybe the people who have shares in our school are very rich. They made it perfectly for students aspiring to become mafias.
"Help !!!!" I looked in the direction where someone suddenly shouted. I was shocked by that shout.
Because of the panic, I immediately went to the place of the noise. I was about to go straight when I saw a woman, surrounded by bitchy squads. I immediately hid on the side of the wall and listened to them.
"Listen Maureen, there's no place in our school. Maybe you bribed the headmaster just to get in here!" One's lasting promise. Oh, god. Are we really getting this?
"Stacey you're wrong! My Dad is a mafia and he wants me to study being a mafia too!" Against a woman they call Maureen.
"Oh right? You a weakling? Being a mafia! Come on! You are making me laugh!" The voice of the woman whom Mauren called Stacey was still sharp. I just rested deeply, I couldn't do anything. That's their problem, I don't want to make trouble.
I was about to leave my hiding place when someone suddenly spoke.
"Are you leaving? You won't help them?" My hair stood on end when I recognized the voice there.
I immediately turned to the speaker and was immediately nervous. No ... why is he here?
"Hi, Sabrina ... you can't just leave me like that. I won't allow it."
"P-Psalm?" He smiled. He brushed his curly haur using his fingers and smiled at me again.
"Do you think that? We'll still meet here?" He joked.
"Why are you here ㅡ I mean, how did you get in here?" He raised his one brow at me.
"Is that question really for me Sab? Shouldn't I be the one to ask you that? Why are you here? What's your purpose?"
No. I can't tell him, I can't just tell him my plan of getting rid of his father. His father killed Saint, and I don't want him to know that and just ruin my plan.
"My sister works here." I immediately said.
"Really? You mean your twin?" He asked, and I immediately nodded at him.
"Sab. As fas as I know, Savienna is one of the best students here. She is an assassin and a serial killer, so she can't work here as a faculty member." He made a serious promise. I was immediately nervous, I really can't trust him.
I opened my mouth and was about to say something when Maureen suddenly shouted, I turned to where they were and saw that Stacey was already tweaking Maureen. I was immediately alerted and would have started when Psalm stopped me.
He just quietly walked towards them while I was just standing where he stopped me.
They looked at Psalm and I saw the fear and apprehension on their faces. Before Psalm speaks, they immediately run away.
Psalm, who are you?
To be continued...
