12. We are one
Steven's POV
"Ano 'yon?!" Royce loudly asked when we went outside for the second clue. We exchange glances and run towards where the loud noise came from.
We saw how the library exploded. Jana, Ria and Kaye are all standing outside, having their eyes wide open and their mouths hanging. My forehead creased in curiousness. I looked up to where they are staring, and my heart seems to stop to beat.
I saw the newbie standing in the middle of the sacred fire. No one have that power in this whole world, except the Princess. I felt electricity runs down to my spine. I've never been this shocked my whole life, never been this speechless. I can't seem to think straight and my head's about to explode as I watched her.

Ladies all across the world, listen up, we're looking for recruitsIf you with me, let me see your hands, stand up and saluteIn my face is a smirk while half-sitting on my motorbike. Wearing an all-black outfit, high-heeled boots and curled hair, I could say that I'm standing out among all the people here."Hey, Scarrlet!"Tumayo ako ng diretso at umismid sa paparating. "Akala ko nakalimutan mo na ako." Salubong ko sa kaniya.Bahagya naman siyang natigilan. You think you can fool me?He smiled at me but I know what is behind that facade."Nagtampo ka naman agad. We are honored to have you
1. She's hereThe moment I opened my eyes, is the same moment that everything flashes back. Bumuntong hininga na lang ako at tumayo mula sa pagkakahiga.It's my parents' decision, paano pa ako makakaangal?Bumaba na ako para kumain. Hindi ko alam kung anong oras nila ako ihahatid at itatapon doon.My Lolo is living somewhere in Northern Luzon and I know how life runs in that kind of places.Sa isang katulad ko na puro good times at pagbubulakbol ang alam, isang masamang panaginip ang mapunta doon.I run my fingers through my b
2. Magical Royalty AcademyMabilis akong nag ayos ng sarili ko. Hindi ko maintindihan kung ano ba ang dapat kong maramdaman.Galit? Inis? Bakit hindi manlang sila nagpaalam? Why did they leave me here trying to find every pieces of the reason wht the hell am I here?!Lumabas ako ng silid na tinutuluyan ko. This is weird.They sent me into this weird place? Naglolokohan ba kami?Agad kong hinarangan ang isang babae na dadaan sana sa harapan ko."Where the hell is the Principal's office?" I asked.Natigilan siya at sandaling natulala. I even noticed how her lips trembled. Tsk! Nerd."Y-you mean, Headmaster?"Kumunot ang noo ko pero hindi na ako nagsalita pa. I just nodded. Principal, Director or Headmaster or whatsoever, all I need is to get
3. Stay with meI sighed when it's finally time for the first subject. Normal na school pa din naman pala ito since may schedule kami and the curriculum is almost the same with my previous school. Less the power.Pagtapak ko sa classroom ay natahimik sila. Akala ba nila gusto ko silang makasama? Well, the feeling is mutual.."Scarrlet!" tawag sa akin ni Jana.So easily, with harsh wordsYou put scars in my heartWithout even saying sorryAgain, I'm comforting myselfPero hindi ko siya tiningnan at nagdirediretso na sa dulo kung saan may dalawang upuan lang. Wala pa yata kaming sampo dito.
4. Getting to know the magical worldNang matapos kaming kumain ay dinala nila ako sa garden. Ito ang nagsisilbing training grounds para sa mga may charms na may kinalaman sa halaman at bulaklak. Tahimik lang akong nagmamasid sa kanila. Unang beses kong magkaroon ng mga taong tatawagin na kaibigan, alam kong mga pagbabago na mangyayari sa akin, pero hindi pa din maiaalis ang ugali kong ito."Galing ka sa mundo ng mga mortal?" Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa din ako sanay sa ganoong tawag. Kapag nagmula ka sa mundo na mayroon ako, mahihirapan kang paniwalaan ang ilang bagay katulad ng pagkakaroon ng kapangyarihan, pero heto na nga at nasa harapan ko na ang mga patunay.Matipid akong tumango sa tanong ni Kaye. Nakapalibot sila sa akin kaya pakiramdam ko ay nasa hot seat ako.
5. She's stronger than youMinutes passed and still, hindi pa din ako natatawag. Nabobored na ako at inaantok. Halos pare-pareho lang naman sila ng stunts at wala nang bago doon."Steven Stanford and Skyller Stanford." So it's the battle between brothers, huh?Napatutok kaming lahat. I tilted my head as I stared at them. Bakit ganoon? Kahit saang anggulo tingnan ay hindi sila magkamukha. Kung hindi nga lang sila magka-apelyido ay hindi ako maniniwala na magkapatid sila.Nanatili lang silang nakatingin sa isa't isa, walang balak umatake."They're doing it again." Nagtataka akong napalingon kay Ice.&nbs
6. Heartbeats are getting louderAfter the scene earlier in library, mabilis akong bumalik sa dorm ko. Nalilito ako sa nararamdaman ko. Why? Bakit parang naaapektuhan ako kahit hindi naman dapat?My mom told me every dayTo always be careful of guysBecause love is like playing with fireI'll get hurtNapahiga ako sa sofa. Hindi na ako nag-effort pang pumasok sa loob ng kwarto dahil wala namang ibang tao dito kundi ako lang. Hindi ko maipaliwanag kung bakit ganito."A goddess doesn't have any right to love and be loved."Hindi ba parang ang unfair naman? Pinipili lang naman sila pero bakit kailangan nilang magdusa? Bakit kailangan na maranasan nila ang isang bagay na hindi naman sila a
