halos manlaki ang mga mata ko sa narinig ko, hindi ako makagalaw, nag-ugat ako sa kinatatayuan ko, naghihina na ang mga tuhod ko, umurong ang dila ko...
tanging nararamdaman kolang ay takot, at pangamba na baka totohanin ito ng hari, pangambang mag-hahari na ang kadiliman at kasamaan...
pasimple kong pinunasan ang luha ko at huminga ng malalim, pagbaling ko sa likuran ay andon ang royalties, galit ang mababasa sa kanilang mga mata, at hindi ko kayang tagalan iyon.
"๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐จ ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ฒ ๐ง๐ ๐ง๐๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ซ๐ข?.....๐ฆ๐๐ก๐๐ฅ ๐ง๐ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ข?" kitang kita ko kung paano kumunot ang kaniyang noo, he clenched his fist taking a step forward, it gives me goosebumps that I can't even look him straight in the eye.
ang matalim na titig niya ang siyang nagbibigay sakin ng takot.
"๐๐ก๐๐ง ๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ง" gigil na tanong niya, I can feel his anger, even the queen cannot calm him down.

I smirked. They saw her, wrong move princess.
biglang nanlaki ang mga mata niya at umiyak, natawa ako, kitang kita ko ang pagkagulat sa mukha ng lahat, tumingin ako sa hari nakatungo ito.
And it breaks my heart seeing my dad protecting his not-so-real princess.

I saw them in my pheriperal vision, confuse.
Nagtungo ako sa magical garden

with that... natigilan ako..
ngumiti si at biglang nawala
I sighed. tumayo ako at pinagpagan na ang skirt ko saka ako lumabas ng garden.
Habang naglalakad ako ay may humawak sa pulsuhan ko, nulilingon ko ito, si ash.
Pinagtaasan ko siya ng kilay
"๐๐ฆ, ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฎ๐ฌ" tumango naman ako at nagpauna ng maglakad.
hindi ako kumatok at basta nalang pumasok, at pagka minamalas ka nga naman madadatnan mo pa ang impostorang parang higad na kapit ng kapit sa mr.cold ko!!!!
I caught their attention, I smirked.
Saka ako umupo at nagpandekwatrong pambabae.
tumikhim si HM kaya nabaling ang attention ng lahat sa kanya.

I rolled my eyes, and take a deep breath, I glanced the royalties, and I can that they are begging trough their eyes.
I Sighed. Siguro pagkakataon ko na ito para makasama ko kayo ulit...
"๐๐๐โ๐ก!"
thats butter, well guardians are always right.
"๐ ๐ข๐ง๐" I said coldly. I glanced at HM and he's smiling sweetly.
"๐๐จ, ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐จ๐ง, ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐๐๐ก ๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐๐ญ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ, ๐ง๐จ ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ง ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ--"
"๐๐๐๐๐๐! ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐?!" the impostor yelled. I smirked
"๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ'๐ซ๐ ๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ?" tanong ko dahilan para mamula siya "๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ค๐๐ค๐-๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ ๐ค๐จ ๐ค๐๐ฌ๐ข ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ค๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐๐ง๐๐ง ๐ง๐ ๐ฆ๐ ๐ ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐๐ฌ๐๐ค๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐ง๐ข๐ฒ๐, ๐๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ" I said sarcasticly.
Tumikhim si HM
"๐๐จ ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ง ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ, ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐๐๐ก ๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐๐ง๐ย ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐๐๐ก ๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ. ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐ ๐จ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ, ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ง ๐ฐ๐'๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ญ ๐๐ฑ๐๐๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ 5๐๐ฆ, ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ'๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ ๐ ๐จ"ย
nauna akong tumayo at tinahak ang daan palabas, parang hindi ako makahinga sa loob kanina, my love ones are my weakness.
Ng biglang may humila NANAMAN! sakin ugh!
Pinagitan niya ako. He put his arms besides me, dahilan para macorner ako
"๐๐ก๐ฒ?" I ask him coldly. no emotions
"๐ฐ๐ก๐ฒ ๐๐จ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐, ๐ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐จ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ " yes you're right. He's ice
nagkibit balikat ako, aalis na sana ako ng mas idiin niya ako sa pader.
"๐๐ก๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ"
I look at him straight in the eye, your eyes will still be my favorite.
"๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ค!" hinawakan niya ang ulo niya, at parang may iniindang sakit, I look at him worriedly, I wanted to make sure if he's okay, but the royalties came, I glanced at ice and I can see that he's still in pain.
I close my eyes, cleched my fist and took a deep breth.
saka ko siya tinalikuran.
ng makarating ako sa dorm, ay doon ko ibinuhos ang emosyon ko, ang mga nagbabadya kong luha ay walang tigil sa pag-agos.
Unti unti akong umupo at yinakap ang nga binti ko, doon ako humagulgol.
The cold air touches my skin.
Tumayo ako at tumungo sa kama at sumamplak ng basta basta. I hug my pillow and snug under my blanket.
and the dark swallowed me..
