Chapter 5

RAIN

"CASA DEL CREA was a world created for two special individuals. They say these two will be the hope as well as the nightmare of all dimensions. No one knows who they are but they believe they will appear soon and put judgment to all creatures,“ Kyle said as he's walking back and forth in front of us.

Sheena, one of my classmates, raised her hand.

"Yes, Miss Sheena?"

"That means, those two are old, sir?"

Kyle laughed. "No one knows, Sheena. But remember this: whoever has the blood of a God can wander in all dimensions at all times."

What he said was true. Creatures like us have the ability to travel to different dimensions and we never grow old. And we can always remain into the same age we want. And our age changes every century.

"I feel like I want to be a goddess too, Sir."

They laughed at what Sheena said.

I guess I'm the only one who didn’t laugh.

But I was wrong. There was still a person who didn’t laugh.

Storm Isaac's a guy I wouldn't want to be associated with. The first time our eyes met, I felt something strange. He poses danger to me.

His black eyes say a lot of things.

And he really looked familiar to me.

"Ok class. Dismissed."

I just stopped thinking when the class was over.

I sighed and fixed my things.

Then Lu touched me. "Bitch, come with us ha."

I smiled at her hesitantly. "I want to, but, I have something to do. I'm really sorry."

She frowned. Rey stood in front of me, also frowning.

"You're such a killjoy, bitch."

I just laughed at her. They have been with me for almost two weeks now. I accompany them to lunch and once, Sere invites me to sleep over with them. But I declined. I was not used to having many companions. And one more thing was that I felt suffocated everytime I'm near the guy named Storm.

Smiling, I said goodbye to them and left the room and made my way to my dorm. I was in the hallway when I heard a voice in my mind.

'Stop.'

I just ignored it because I thought I was not the one being called.

I resumed walking until the voice in my head shouted.

'I said stop!'

It was that moment when I finally stopped and slowly turned to the source of the voice in my head.

And there, I saw the last person I wanna see.

STORM GABRIEL ISAAC

"Were you referring for me to stop?" I asked in confusion.

He did not answer me. But he walked closer to me and the next thing I knew, I was pinned on the wall, with his left hand on my neck.

"Show your true self," he said coldly to my secret surprise.

How did he know? I perfectly hid myself.

When I could not answer, he tightened his grip on my neck.

"Show your true self," he insisted again. His eyes turned a shade of red as he waited for my answer.

'You really wanna know?' I asked in my mind as I stared at him.

This time, gone the scared face of the nobody they used to know.

'Just show it.'

And little by little, the color of my hair changed and my face that I was hiding for so long returned. I made sure he would see my eyes, for it mirrors who I truly am.

He stilled, and his grip on my neck loosened.

And before anyone of us could speak, someone spoke from behind.

"Oh my God, Storm! What the fuck are you doing?!" Lu exclaimed.

He quickly removed his hand from my neck, and his startled expression disappeared. I quickly hid myself.

I coughed sitting on the floor. Derene and Erin immediately attended me.

'Please, don't let them know about me.' I beg of the man who was slowly moving away from me.

"Are you okay, Rain?" Derene asked worriedly.

I took a deep breath before answering. "Ye-yes. I- I'm okay."

They helped me to my feet and guided me to my dorm.

"Why did Storm choke you?" Erin asked annoyed.

"Hey ... You're not used to that one. When there's something new here, he tests them. But this time, he really choked Rain. That nuisance!" Lu groaned angrily.

"Let him. He just maybe saw I that I was a threat to you. He just made sure I won't do you any harm." I bit my lips.

Derene sighed. "Just be patient with him, Rain. He may be a stone in the eyes of others but he is a good man. He just doesn't want us to be in danger."

I sighed and nodded. When we got to my room they took care of me before leaving.

I lay down on the bed and tried to sleep. Then I heard him speak in my mind.

'Meet me at Sere's garden. Midnight. '

I just sighed at the coldness of his voice.

Sometimes, I was afraid to meet his eyes. Especially when we were all together he was just looking at me. He does not speak.

But I must admit. Ever since I asked him for help when something bad happened to the elites something has changed in me.

It's as if that incident bound me to him.

And I hope it's a good thing. And I will not be taken to ruin.

AT MIDNIGHT, I went to the back of the academy.

When I got near Sere's garden, I saw him, standing with his hands on his pockets, and seemed to be thinking deeply.

His back was on me so I was surprised when he spoke.

"What's your connection with the twins?"

I walked closer to him and when we were only a few feet away from each other I sat on one of the benches that were there and answered.

"I'm their sister. We were born triplets. I was the youngest. I was cursed. And they took me away from them. That was fifteen centuries ago. If you know, we're offsprings of two opposite gods. I hold both powers of goodness and evil. That's why I had to go away, "I explained.

He slowly looked at me. Gone the cold guy who choked me. That was replaced by confusion.

"I thought you were dead."

I bowed. "They only made it that way because my father did not want to frighten the other gods. You know, I can inflict destruction and death. That's why he sent me away. The elders- I mean the guardians who were protecting all realms trained me to control my powers. I controlled it. But nobody can control me. That's why I locked myself into this face and lived in misery. I don't want others to turn their backs on me when they find out who I really am. "

I heard his deep sigh. He said something under his breath that I couldn't understand.

"You're saying something?"

He looked at me coldly. "Nothing," he said and looked at my scarf around my face, "Take it off. Let your real face take a peek at your sister's garden."

I did not know why I followed what he said.

I took my scarf away from my face and let my golden locks of hair fall freely up to the back of my knees. That's how long my hair was because I haven't let it down for many years. Just hidden in the dark ponytail that just circled the back of my head.

My eyes turned red and gold. Red from the left and gold at the right. My eyes show what's hidden inside me that anyone who looks at it will immediately lose sight of it.

But he didn't. He just looked at it flatly like he didn't feel anything.

"Your eyes are too powerful. Gentle like Sere's and deadly like Rey's."

I nodded. "It is. What they have, I have, too. But there are things that I have that they don't."

He nodded. "What are you gonna do with them? You can't keep your identity from them. Sereya is a manifestation of a devil. So as Panther who's the Prince of the demons. They could sense you."

I smiled at him. "Not as quick as you."

He nodded again. "We have something in common. That's why I could see that it was not the real you but I couldn't clearly see the real you."

"I perfected hiding myself from anyone. And I hope you help me hiding myself, too. And since you said we have similarities, help me control myself when I go berserk."

He looked at me intently. "If I do that, would you do the same for me?"

In response, I held out my right hand to him which he immediately accepted.

"Deal."
