Portal

Bathala really is messing with my love life. There are two people that can be my Iroga. And guess what? They have a problem with their lives and I mean BIG problem. I need to talk to someone before I became lunatic myself.

"Can you excuse me? I need to go in my room; I have a terrible headache and I need to lie down." Not a lie at all, my head is aching like crazy because of this.

"Ok, see you later." He said to me smiling as he walks into the cafeteria.

Instead to walk in my room, I went to the nurses' office instead. I saw Dave and Dr. Gainza arguing about something. Rolando is just standing between the two of them; he looks like someone he knew died. And then I heard Light says to Dr. Gainza our entire secret. He didn't believe him first but Light show his power as well as Dave, and guess what? He freaks out and run. Rolando looks devastated as Dave tries to comfort him, and then Light saw me.

"I know it is not the right time, but can I talk to you?"

"Alright, let's get outside and leave Rolando alone." We walk outside and close the door, I can't look into the eyes of Rolando because I'm dreading that it will happen to me too. "So what is it?"

"I think there is a possibility that there is another one claiming to be my Iroga."

"That is impossible; we just have one Iroga nothing more. Why did you think that?" So I told him what happen earlier and what Carlo said about my forehead. "Interesting he is the one with pyromania?"

"Yep, he is the one."

"It is a possibility that he was a demi-diwata." This shocks me.

"Huh? I thought there will be no diwata and human Irogas?" I ask him.

"Yes, but you can love one. Remember that not every one of us can have an Iroga." He said to me as he thinks deeply.

"But what is the connection between pyromania and demi-diwata?" I ask him.

"Read your manual, you lazy dimwit." He said to me.

"I'm too busy to read."

"Ugh... The children of diwata and human have some major problem. They don't have the power of their diwata parents but they still obsess with their elements. For example the children of an Agua likes to swim as well as an Apoy wants to burn things." He said to me.

"That is unfair, the other three elements have an obsession of the elements but looks harmless; meanwhile the Apoy child has a label on it?"

"That's how society works." And it sucks on so many levels.

"So... what's the verdict?"

"Clearly one of them is lying, and if it is true there is a possibility that he knows all about us."

"Do you think it is Carlo, he is demi-diwata after all?"

"I said that he might be a demi-diwata. But we don't know for sure."

"Sucks to be me right?"

"You are absolutely right my friend." And he laughs, bastard... yeah you heard me right Light. But he laughs even more, the nerve.

I knock at the door of Erics room with his food on my hand. This is my first time entering his room wearing guys' clothes, and I wish that he will accept me. I don't know what will I do to Carlo but I choose Eric first. He opens the door with a frown on his face but let me enter.

"They said you're my cure but to me it's a total bullshit." I cringed on what he said to me, partly because it is true and partly for the curse.

"The board said if you have a male person with you all the time you will slowly be accustomed to it." I said.

I put the food on his table and sit far away for him. I didn't know what will I said to him so I just sit on silent while he eats his lunch. He always looks at me cautiously as he eats. This makes me irritated I feel like a pervert next to him.

"Can you please stop that?"

"Stop what?" He asked to me as he frowns.

"Looking at me like that, I will not bite you."

"I am androphobic so...?" And he starts to eat again, but he doesn't look at me anymore.

"I'm sorry for lying to you." I said to him slowly afraid that he will snap at me.

"Well fuck you... but...ugh... why you did this to me knowing that I am afraid of men?" He looks at me seriously.

"I want to know you more; I want you to not be afraid of men...of me."

After that he resumes eating and the room became silent again. I awkwardly look at him and sigh, what will I do? What will I say? Ugh...

"I really am sorry."

"I know dude, but hey look at me right now. I am not afraid of you... I think." Thank you Mapolan.

"That's a start."

"To be honest you look gorgeous as a man, because as a woman? You're ugly as fuck." Ouch that hurts.

"I take that as a ----" I stopped because a dark portal and shadow like vine appears and snatch Eric away. Thankfully I hold his hand in time and we both enter the portal. I started to panic as Eric screams triggering my transformation. This is not my day... this is not the correct way of showing Eric who I really am.

"What the fuck are you? Let go of me!" He tries to kick me.

"Stop that! I am trying to help." The fire is slowly crawling into my hands. I forgot about this... but before I let go of his hand, that fire envelop it but thankfully he is unharmed. Before he says something, we're drop from the portal.

I checked him first before I look for my surroundings. We are in his room, kind of... but it is entirely something else. All of the furniture is rundown and old; the wall had some graffiti on it. The atmosphere of the room is ominous and cold. It is like we are transport on some kind of parallel world.

"Where are we?" He asks me, looking at me as if this is my fault.

"I don't know..." I replied, heck I have no clue where we are right now. I shifted back to my human form and he gasp when he see me naked. Before he say something a new portal appears and Carlo fall out of it.

"Where the hell am I?!" He screams.

"There's a man!" Eric said pointing to Carlo looking disgusted...really? Carlo saw us too and hugs me immediately ignoring my naked state. I quickly cover my family jewels before anyone can see it.

"Where are we?" Carlo said as he survey the area, he looks shaken and scared.

"Hey! Don't fucking hug him!" Eric said as he trying to pull off Carlo with no success. They're fighting because of me I thought in glee.

They just ended up arguing as they pull me apart from them. I can't believe Eric is jealous this is a sweet nightmare. I look for some shirt and pants because I am naked. Fortunately I found some in one of the room, although it is dirty but beggars can't be choosers. We walk till we are outside of the institute and they never stop to bicker. But before the fight become physical (and me starting to break them apart) a scream stop us all. An unknown person laughs and then cries... he changes emotions as if he is practicing. I am starting to notice that the sound slowly going near us. Eric and Carlo notice it too and the hold my arms so tight it hurts. Suddenly the noise stops...

"Everything is becoming clear now as I see the color..." He said as he knocks to the wall near the door, he is in the hallway.

"Brown is so materialistic..." He said as he laughs.

"The white is pure yes.... But oh so empty..." Eric is breathing so hard right now...

"The blue ones are cold as ever." His hands are slowly showing at the door, Carlo started to scream but I stop it with my hand.

"And the gray fellow is sad and lonely, so delicious..." Then we heard a slurp sound that brings shivers to our spine.

"But the most strange of all? Is the red one, the anger is fascinating but I love his brutality..." The head of the creature appears, a black fluid is seeping to his eyes, nose and mouth. When he smiles, you will see his sharp fangs...

"I will always love his brutality"

"So brutal"

"Brutal"

"Brutal" His word never end, walking near us, we can't move as he walks toward us.

"Brutal"

"Brutal"

Eric screams...
