Even the naughty Hercules was sitting in front of me. I don't know if I'm mimicking or what but it looks like he's been watching me for a while and it's disgusting. I can't look at him even if he's in front of me because I don't want to see him. "Hercules, you want to come with us? We are going to the bar." Radius was with him while whistling. His Mama, quickly picked him up. "Radius can you please respect your food? Don't whistle whistle there and arrange a seat." it was like a child because of the speed with which it followed his mother. I want to smile because even though they are rebellious, they still know how to listen "Aliyah sister, what grade are you in at the entrance again?" I looked at Aunt Emily when she asked me. She was the one who adopted Cassey. "Third year College." "Third year College? How old are you?" "20 years old." her eyes widened as if she didn't expect my age "Then my Cassey is one years older than you?" I nodded at her. "I wish I could give you a scholar ship to my husband's family school here in the province, for Cassey to have with her." I want to be happy with what Aunt Emily said just in case I can't stay here. "I want to but I can't, I'm sorry Aunt." She smiled and stroked my hair. I feel like Aunt Emily is my second mother, it's just a feeling. The dinner ended happily and now I am in the bathroom of the guest room and taking a bath. This day is tiring. I hope something good happens to me tomorrow at this hacienda.
The beginning
[Aliyah point of view]
I couldn't help but marvel as I gazed at the huge and very beautiful mansion in front of me.
It is like a palace in size and beauty. "Aliyah!" I closed my gaping mouth and happily watched Cassey run towards me and quickly hugged me.
I smiled and hugged her back. Cassey is my friend in manila, she is just as poor as me but because of the kindness of god there is a rich couple who adopted her.
Take note, it's not just rich but super rich because only Chavilire adopted her.
"Well Riyah allowed you to stay here for two weeks." I nodded and smiled "Of course, Mama also wants me to have fun somehow."
I am in Cebu now and in the hacienda of the Chavilires which is now Cassey's family. She invited me here because she said she missed me, which made me happy.
Even to say that she has become rich and our standard of living has moved away, she is not new to me. I am still her bestfriend.
"We're beautiful bestfriend, look at your skin it's not dry anymore." I was pissed that she laughed.
"You too, you're so beautiful in the black dress you're wearing. You also look like a rich child." I immediately laughed at what she said.
That's why I want us to gossip, when we gossip I feel like it's true what she says I'm beautiful even though it's not true.
As we walked into the mansion we stopped talking and walking when someone called Cassey.
At the same time, we turned to the side and saw four young men wearing basketballs who seemed to be playing.
In a matter of minutes I examined them and I couldn't help but be amazed because they were so handsome. They don't look human anymore.
It was as if they were gods who had come down to earth. There was almost no cap on their faces and I seemed to be embarrassed for myself.
From my amazement at the young men, I looked down at a cute boy who was also wearing a basketball.
"Hi! Sister Aliyah, I'm glad to see you here." I giggled quickly and immediately met Adam who was a six -year -old boy.
I kissed him on the cheek and he also laughed. "It's so bad baby Adam that I miss you so much."
"Of course, you can't find anything better than me." when he rides in my praise. If we talk, it's like we're troops, so I'm happy with this boy.
"Hi Ladies, Cassey who's this beautiful lady beside you?" the man smiled at me and winked at me.
I would like to jump on the thrill of the case, but I look ugly there. I don't want to look stupid.
"My Radius stop my friend, that won't hit you." Cassey's mother was like a mother to me.
What's not to be missed? I'll play that, the Handsome is a pity if I waste it, isn't it?
While the other handsome young man in front of me was sulking and getting tired. My eyes were fixed on a young man with green eyes who was also currently staring at me.
Like them Radius was also very handsome of it, it seemed to be one of Chavilire's young men. Actually he looks so familiar, I just can't remember where I saw him.
Maybe it's because of his strange look that I felt some, even though I was a little shy, I tried to smile at him because it was really awkward.
Instead of smiling back at me, he frowned even more and his beautiful eyes grew colder.
I avoided looking at him because it looks like that man's brain is missing. Cassey and I said goodbye to the handsome Chavilire, maybe when we're just two I'll just hit him there because of his new cousins.
"My God! Cas, are the Chavilire guys really that handsome s?" She smiled at me and nodded.
We are here in the garden of their hacienda and sitting on the bench, in front of us is a table full of delicious snacks like cakes and burgers.
I grabbed a burger and bit into it. "How are you here? Are the early adopters okay?"She swallowed what she was eating first before she smiled sweetly and nodded.
"Of course, even if I'm just adopted and spanked here I feel like a Chavilire like them. Mama Emily and Papa Xander are very kind to me." as she spoke I could see the happiness in her eyes.
I couldn't help but be happy too. "Of course, tell me about them please." I'm really curious about the Chavilires.
Because I can't believe that I'm in their hacienda and facing the Chavilire young men that I used to only see on TV.
"Mama and Papa have an only son and that is brother Alessandro, I haven't seen him yet because they said he is in America and studying."
"In the Chavilire family, Papa Xander has four brothers, Uncle Rico, uncle Rakim, uncle Henry and uncle Hendrick."
"Uncle Rico's children are Kiro and Kalix. Uncle Rakim is the father of Calculus, Sergio and Carmilla."
"While Uncle Henry had a child with Radius, Adam and Bettina were Radius' twins."
"And the last one is Uncle Hendrick who is the Pope of Hercules and Exodus, now you know who their popes are?" I nodded even though I was a little confused.
"Aren't the others here? Looks like you mentioned Chavilire a lot." She scratched her head so hard and snorted.
"It's true that I haven't known or seen them yet because they're in the state now." I was the one who nodded, socially in the state.
"Miss Cassey, Miss Emily and Don Xander are calling you." our conversation stopped when one of the helpers called her.
Cassey just said goodbye to me for a while before she finally left me outside their garden. When I was left behind I couldn't help but rest deeply and close up.
The breeze is strong and fresh, it seems like it's better to live in this hacienda than in Manila which is full of smoke due to pollution.
I looked at the tall trees that were a bit far from Cassey's garden, I couldn't help but get sour because the mangoes were the size of the trees and seemed to be very ripe.
I quickly stood up and approached the tree which was quite steep. It's easy for me to climb, especially since I used to love climbing trees.
I looked at my black off shoulder dress that was still heart band in front of me and up to half a leg long in front of me, while on the back was its long fabric that looked like I was in a gown.
Cassey just gave it to me when she used to come with us and she was rich then. I took off my 3 inches of heeled shoes and started climbing the tree.
Like I said it was not difficult to climb so I immediately got two mangoes.
I smiled quickly and was ready to go down when I heard a sound as if something was slowly breaking down.
I looked at the small branch I was stepping on and before I could react it was completely broken causing me to fall off the steep tree.
"AH!" I couldn't help but cry and moan because of the pain of my fall. But I also immediately woke up when I closed my eyes and looked at the person I had fallen on.
That's how masculine my eyes were when he opened his green eyes looking at me furiously.
"Still sorry." I stuttered and took Hercules by the arm to help him stand up.
I'm not sure if it's Hercules but he's the man I smiled at before. "I'm sorry I didn't really mean it." I said guilty to him because I felt he was too hurt when I fell.
How heavy I am.
Even though I apologized to him, his eyes were still angry looking at me.
"Why did you do that? You think we will give you money when something bad happens to you? Are you a gold digger woman?"
His eyes were sneering just like the words coming out of his mouth "I didn't do that to get money from you, if you have nothing else to say I'm leaving." my expression was blank as I said those words.
He thinks badly, just fell on the tree I want money right away? Their money belongs to him because I'm not asking for it and I don't have any money for it even though Mom and I are short of life.
It hurts, I grabbed my chest and frowned slightly. Even if I think like that, I can be easily hurt even if it's just plain lait.
He doesn't know me so he has no right to judge my personality.
"Aliyah, this is where you can sleep later, there are only three rooms between our rooms so if you need anything you can come to my room." Cassey explained in front of me.
I looked at the guest room where I was going to sleep and I couldn't help but be amazed because it was so beautiful and the size was even just a guest room.
But I also frowned because I couldn't help but be scared "It looks scary here at night, are you sure there's no ghost in your house?" She laughed and entered the room.
"Nothing, are you still afraid of ghosts until now?" And I was blown away.
"It's scary, as long as I can't sleep here in your room, I'll just sleep." She nodded at me and said goodbye to go to her room.
She seems to be doing something.
All afternoon I did nothing but use my cellphone in bed or go to Cassey's room to make trouble.
Until finally the evening came and we were all at the dinner table with the whole Chavilire.
Even the naughty Hercules was sitting in front of me. I don't know if I'm mimicking or what but it looks like he's been watching me for a while and it's disgusting.
I can't look at him even if he's in front of me because I don't want to see him.
"Hercules, you want to come with us? We are going to the bar." Radius was with him while whistling.
His Mama, quickly picked him up. "Radius can you please respect your food? Don't whistle whistle there and arrange a seat." it was like a child because of the speed with which it followed his mother.
I want to smile because even though they are rebellious, they still know how to listen "Aliyah sister, what grade are you in at the entrance again?" I looked at Aunt Emily when she asked me. She was the one who adopted Cassey.
"Third year College."
"Third year College? How old are you?"
"20 years old." her eyes widened as if she didn't expect my age "Then my Cassey is one years older than you?" I nodded at her.
"I wish I could give you a scholar ship to my husband's family school here in the province, for Cassey to have with her." I want to be happy with what Aunt Emily said just in case I can't stay here.
"I want to but I can't, I'm sorry Aunt." She smiled and stroked my hair.
I feel like Aunt Emily is my second mother, it's just a feeling.
The dinner ended happily and now I am in the bathroom of the guest room and taking a bath.
This day is tiring. I hope something good happens to me tomorrow at this hacienda.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Full moon ... and pure breeze. Only the sound of the owl can be heard in the atmosphere, and the chirping of the leaves coming from the trees here in the forest that is steady in the wind. But suddenly the hours of silence were broken by the successive footsteps of the horses carrying the soldiers who seemed to be chasing someone. In front of them was a young witch who was gasping for breath on the run. That's me. My name is Charm, a full-blooded witch- which mortals call those like me born with power. But the correct name for such names is deities. I was suddenly alarmed when I heard the chirping of a soldier who used his bow so I prepared myself. Even before I was hit, I surrounded myself with a magic barrier. I admit that he is not a very strong kind of barrier because he is not that skilled in magic, but it is enough to fend off all the arrows they will shoot for me. But even so, they kept chasing me. it's irritating the shit out of me! The barrier I created is still consuming energy, so maybe at any time it will disappear forever. I wanted to fight them, but my grandmother - who had nurtured and cared for me since childhood - strictly forbade me to hurt those who had no power. Case ... I feel like the barrier I created is slowly disappearing. So even before that happens, I have to decide whether I will fight these soldiers, or not. "Don't stop until you catch it!" I heard shouts of what I think was their leader. I know there is a big layer on witches like me, so I understand how they want to catch me. A few more minutes passed ... I suddenly thought I had stopped running, and I faced them with courage. If I remember correctly, I was near the temple of Deity Morrel - one of the formerly worshiped Goddesses of Wisdom. Grandma told me when she ran away from the soldiers who were looking for me, she said I would go to that temple so that I could temporarily hide from mortals. It is believed that there is a guardian animal living in that temple so I will be safe there. "What, have you decided to just give up, witch?!" the leader exclaimed. I just smiled. "Surrender? That will never happen." I said calmly. I raised the blue silver wand I was holding and mentioned a level 1 fire spell I knew. "Flame shower!" Exactly when I mentioned such a spell, it seemed that blazing flames fell from above and surrounded the saken - which separated the saken and these soldiers. I can see that they are backing away from what I did, and the horses they are carrying are making noise which is the reason why they are busy staying with their horses for a while .. It's time for me to escape! I raised the wand I was holding and then I was enveloped in intense light. Deity Morrel's temple is also close from here so I'll just teleport there. Earlier I would have made a case when I was teleporting too far away, it would be easier for me to run out of energy that I could even die, so earlier I was saving a lot of it. I started to build my escape. The light that enveloped saken intensified even more and I could feel the force pulling saken upwards ... a signal that my teleportation was about to be completed. But ... Even before I finally disappeared in front of them, I felt a sharp object pierce my side. Then I only saw what it was when I faded in front of them and I reached my destination in the blink of an eye. As soon as I reached the temple grounds I immediately collapsed while holding on to my side hit by an arrow I knew was mixed with poison. With the rapid effect of the poison, my whole muscles trembled and my vision darkened. A few more seconds passed while I was still trying to fight the nausea I was feeling ... Darkness has covered my entire environment ....
