Chapter 19

I can't see her clearly! Who is he? What did she do that for !? After he kissed Magnus on the cheek he just kept talking. Magnus was just nodding, but I couldn't see his reaction. what are they talking about- I just backed away a little, holding my chest at the same time which was very nervous, I was vomiting without knowing it. It felt so tight and I was breathing heavily, I was swallowed repeatedly. I'm fine, I'm fine. Yeah… I'm fine. I slowly left there and blended in with the crowd so that Magnus wouldn't see me. Even when I'm in the crowd, I can still see them. What… who? I don't know but there are so many questions forming in my brain, but… Hera didn't you say you will support her? When will he find someone else? Maybe he did find something new when he disappeared for a month, right? I can't blame him. Well good for him…? Suddenly my eyes blurred. "Ah… why am I crying?" I stared at the cotton candy I was holding earlier. I also stared at it for too long. I guess he won't be needing this one then? I slowly dropped one cotton candy that I should give to Magnus, many are already looking at me. I sighed and continued to eat mine. I gazed once again over to where Magnus was. He didn't see me right? buti naman no? there are also many people so I don't think he can see me. "Yeah good for him." I whispered softly and left. I went back to our classroom and saw a couple of my classmates getting ready. "Lady Hera! Come on, the battle is about to begin. " Someone with me in the cheerdance battle said, I nodded. I'm still shocked… confused? I don't know what I saw, or what I will feel but my chest keeps hurting like hell. I felt dizzy, I didn't notice that I was already dressed. I should calm down, we still need to perform…. The whole time I was just floating, because we were still waiting to perform. Are we the most last kid? So we still have a long time to perform. All courses are performed in the same field, the field is big so maybe it will fit all of us. "Lady Hera! Good luck! " Mel greeted me as she passed me, looks like they are about to enter. I saw Gareth and he just nodded at me. I also saw Erina with Gareth's group she was busy looking and focusing to perform. I also saw King but he just waved at me. I waved back just because he was far away. while I was getting ready someone tapped me and… It was Magnus. Of course it's going to be him. "Good luck, Goddess." I didn't know what to answer so I faked a smile once nod. I have nothing to say. Then see what happened? I don't know why I'm mad, we're not so why am I mad? I have no right to be angry. So if… that person is really his… special someone then I will support him. but what if I just made a mistake right? Am I creating delusions that he's not her girlfriend? Hays don't expect too much Hera, maybe that's not her love? diba? But what if what you think is right- "You ok? Did you cry?" "H-ha?" shet napansin niya yun !? I already did my make up and he still noticed that? "Yeah, my ankle hurts." I apologize even if I don't, "Don't worry, trust me with my plan." he said so I nodded. "Sure. All right, I'll be the first? We are going to perform. " He looked disappointed and down when I said that to him. I… wanna ask him about that person. But I don't want to talk about it right now because I might not be able to. Maybe I really do love him not as a bias right? I would not have been hurt like this. Our course was called and we immeidtaley went to the field. "Lady Hera, you should remove that necklace. It may disappear later. " I looked at the necklace that Magnus gave me, of course it is also forbidden because there is a possibility of losing it. I sighed and removed it. I hid it in my pocket nalang, it's for safety too. Cheers and screams floated across the field so we started performing. (INSERT LARGE BOMB NOISE) –A/n: I don't know sorry- While we were performing, we heard an explosion. Tsk, they said it would happen. Of course it was summoned in the middle of the field. Magnus is right, the summoner is from the inside. The students immediately ran and shouted while I and ran towards don. Gareth and I will be helping students who were hurt near the demon, I noticed there was more than one summon. I need to focus and help students. I looked around and not only was the demon in the middle of the field, there was also on the side where the knights and wizards were guarding. Sh*t that's how long knights and wizards last. I'm sure Magnus will take care of the demons here at the center, I trust him with this so I've helped other students. The Royalty course hurt more because they were the ones in the center- "PRINCESS LUCY!" I turned to shout and it was Gareth, I looked in the direction he was looking. I saw Mel helping Erina, she's injured again !? he was hit in the leg. Not to mention there is a demon approaching them… F*ck this where is Magnus… the demon started creating that fire ball like he threw at us Erina before. Where is Magnus !? agh nevermind i will do- "BOTH OF YOU RUN NOW!" Gareth shouted. I ran closer there, in case they were too far away, not to mention there were a lot of people throwing stones. Goodammit- "PRINCE GARETH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! RUN! " I shouted. "DON'T JUST STAND THERE, MOVE!" I won't reach! The demon already created the ball and thrown it in the direction of Mel in case Gareth got in front of them both. He- "PRINCES GARETH !!!!" I shouted loudly, I gritted my teeth and when I saw his body collapsed. Immediately you caught Mel, Erina was noW unconscious. I immediately approached them and pulled them away. I carried Erina and Mel got Gareth, Mel was already crying. "L-Lady H-Hera, P-Prince Gareth! His body! " "Y-yes I know, calm down we can cure him-" WHERE IS MAGNUS !? "LOOK OUT BOTH OF YOU!" I was surprised when suddenly Mel and I sailed, this time King was hit. We didn't notice that the demon rebuilt a new fireball… and now King saved us. "N..No…" Erina whispered softly, still weakening. "Why?" Crying I said. Both of their bodies got burned badly, "KING! GARETH! " I don't know what's happening now because I'm just staring at the burnt bodies of Gareth and King, I don't think they're dead. No they're not dead yet- I'm sure of it! I slapped myself hard to make me conscious. This is all my fault right? If I didn't change the story, if I didn't- "Lady Hera…." Tears keep falling down my cheeks, it's my fault really. They got… hurt because I was messing with the story plot- "Herabella !!! Keep your sh*t together! " I came back to my senses when Rios called me, little by little I looked at him. what do i do Rios? When because of me they did this- I don't know but everyone is still upset. Demons are still attacking and they kept increasing in numbers. Many students have already been burned, why aren't the wizards doing anything? Why don't they- "Goddess!" I didn't look at Magnus anymore but he picked me up, wizards also appeared with us and carried Mel with Erina. "Get there bodies now!" We immediately teleported to a room where the students were. Why… why aren't they killing the demons that are outside? Magnus was still carrying me and he didn't even let me down. Why didn't he defeat the demon in the center? I still couldn't stop crying and I was still sobbing. I just saw Gareth and King collapse in fornt of me and I didn't even do anything. I was numb with my fist, why am I weak? Am I doing nothing because the opponent is too strong? Why can't- "Goddess, calm donw." I didn't notice that my grip on his shoulders where I was clinging was strengthened. "Why didn't you kill those?" I saw him shake his head and sigh. Is it because he doesn't want to kill those or he can't? "I'm sorry Goddess, I was… late." Suddenly my body went cold. What? what does he mean Is he also in the field where we are? He greeted me earlier on the field right? What does he mean he's late ?! did he leave after we talked in the field? Why would he do that? We have a plan, why isn't he sticking to plan? He said he would come as soon as there was a commotion. So why did he leave? why didn't he come right away? And there are many reasons that make up my mind. The plan he made himself… He destroyed his own plan. "What? d-were you in the field earlier? W-did you go somewhere? " "I- I checked on something." napaawang naman ang bibig ko, what did I expect? He was so late because… he was checking on something? "I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have gone- " "Where did you go?" I asked coldly. I trusted him that he would come right away and kill them. why didn't I see him right away? Because he went somewhere? I trusted him because he said so. He said that he would take care of everything, but it was my fault that I believed in his 'trust'. I don't care where he goes, I shouldn't have trusted him to begin with. I wish I had done something other than trust him. If I didn't trust him, would I be able to save Gareth and King? "No nevermind, don't answer my question. Put me down. " Magnus immediately dropped me off, I immediately looked for Mel and I immediately saw her besides Gareth, and Erina as well. They were both crying, I immediately went over there and hugged Mel. "L-Lady He-Hera * hik * what are we gonna do?" I swallowed repeatedly and felt that heavy feeling again. "He's not waking up! They're not waking up. They're not breathing. " Erina said loudly. "W-we will figure something out." I can't say it clearly because my chest hurts so much again. I looked at Magnus who was just standing in front of us. I don't know where he's been and I don't care where he's from as long as he doesn't arrive late. Everything would have been fine. "We can't defeat those demons, they have buffed abilities and defense so we can't kill them." Magnus suddenly said… So it's much stronger than before? Well it doesn't matter now, the two most important people in the story are gone. In exchange for Mel and Magnus 'death, are King and Gareth the replacement? They looked dead- no maybe there's another way right? I don't know what to do anymore and I'm going crazy. I stood up and went out, looks like this building is far from the field where there are demons. I need to think- "Rios, is there another way for them to live?" "I'm sorry but no- "Goddess? You should rest- "I laughed but still cried. I crazily looked at Magnus and shook his head. "It's all my fault." If I didn't change the plot or trust Magnus, would they still survive? Or if I don't approach the characters- "Goddess, it's not your fault." He said softly. "I'm sorry, I should have arrived early. I hope I don't leave- "I trusted you, you said' trust me '. So I believed… "but that was a mistake. I should have done this on my own rather than ask for help. I went back to where Mel was, Erina and I were talking and it looks like they have calmed down. I approached them. "Lady Hera! We have a plan on how to cure them. " Erina said immediately, Mel nodded. "I read a legend about lake of life, I read in a book." Mel supported. "IT was said that it cures any disease when you drink lake water." "But the lake is located in a… very dangerous place. I think it's in the cave of truths "Erina replied. "Cave of truths?" astonished I asked, I think I heard that somewhere. "Isn't that one of the caves full of demons?" "Yes, it is in the far corner of the cave. If we go there and carry Prince Gareth and Lord King with us, we might be able to cure them "said Mel. To be honest, Gareth and King are so severe. I don't think they can live a little longer, so if there is a cure though. If there is a cure for Gareth and King's condition, then we're taking the opportunity. No matter what it takes… To be continued...
