Chapter 26
"Here let's sit!"
Josefina pointed at the chair infront of us
I quickly sat down and was ready to listen to what Josefina is about to say
I then heard chair creaking beside me and saw Cythe sat next to me
My heart pounded fast but I shook my head and looked at Josefina who was across us
Josefina looked back with a worried look on her face
She grabbed her hands as I can see her shaking
I reached for her hand and said
"I won't be angry....I promise"
I reassured her and gave her a smile
Josefina then smiled back but still was worried
She then prepared herself and so was I
"Uhm Athy, I can see the future"
Josefina said with a soft voice as she looks down
Now that she told me I'm not surprised I was waiting for her to explain it since yesterday
But things got crazy....
The old lady said something about that she knows something that even Josefina can't
"I see"
I said calmly
She smiled softly
"And I know that you were going to arrive to school, I knew that I'd meet someone with the same features like you"
She added
I nod my head slightly as I don't know what to say
But I want to know on how she was able to see the future and if she can see the far future or the near future
"Ina, How are you able to see the future and how far in the future do you know?"
I asked her genuinely wanted to know the truth
"I don't know I just know the future"
She said
Know the future, but as I recall in the novel she has no such power
Or did I forget?
I rubbed my chin and thought
"Oh!"
Josefina exclaimed
I turned to look at Josefina
"I remember that when I was 5 years old I remembered having a dream about someone and when I woke up I know what will happen"
Ina said as she held her hands tightly
When she was 5 years old?
"And answering your question that how far i could see the future is I could only know what happens tomorrow when I sleep at night"
Josefina Added as she looked directly in my eyes
"I see"
I don't remember that in the novel though
Does Ina really have such powers?
Or did something change?
Am I the reason?
As I thought hard and tried to remember it
Nothing is really.....
....
What happens after this?
I- I don't remember what will happen
There's so many things that has changed and I have forgotten the novels original story
I thought and thought and thought
But I felt someone poking my hand
I looked up to see Josefina close to me trying to call out to me
"And another thing Athy"
Ina said Worried
"Yes?"
I answered
"Uhm I...."
Josefina hesitated
You?
Josefina then gave Cythe a glance then Cythe nodded
"What is it?"
I asked again
"When I first met you something starts to open inside of me"
Josefina touched her chest and said happily yet worried
"Opening inside you?"
I asked confused
"At first I wasn't sure what it was, I thought that it was just nothing important"
Ina looked down again and looked back up
I was so confused to what she was about to say
And my heart beats fast for no reason
"But as I went to bed that night I had a dream someone talking to me, and then one day I opened my eyes I felt The magic in me"
Josefina happily said
"What kind of magic is it?"
I asked confused
"The Light Magic Athy I can feel it inside me!"
Josefina said in a very happy tone she smiled brightly as she said the good news to me
"L-light magic?"
I asked again
Josefina Nodded her head happily
But Josefina did not have the light magic not until Athy is.....
Nearing her doom....
H-huh?!
I'm nearing my doom?!
I bit my lip as hard as I can
I shivered at the thought my end is nearing
I was to focused on my thought that did not notice someone calling my name
"Athy"
I looked to my right and there was Cythe
He was looking at me worried
"Are you okay?"
He asked me
I nodded my head slowly
He then grabbed something from his pocket and took out a clean white cloth and starts to wipe the blood off my lip
"I can-"
As I reached to grab the cloth from his hand
He pulled the cloth away far from my reach and said
"I'll wipe it"
Cythe said
W-what is he talking about?!
I can feel my face blushing but I ignored it
I saw Cythe's serious face and stopped arguing and let him wipe it off
"You always bite your lip whenever you're nervous Athy"
Cythe said softly as he continued to wipe the blood
"Eh? how'd you know?!"
I whispered embarrassed
"How can I not? we're always together it'd be a shock if I didn't know"
He said as he still wiped off the blood off my lips
"R-really?"
I scratched my cheek softly
*Giggle*
Giggle?
I look back at Cythe to see him wearing a serious face
Was it just my imagination?
As Cythe was busy wiping off the blood
"Ehem!"
I heard someone clearing their throat
I looked at Josefina who was staring at us intensely
"Have you forgotten i'm still here?"
Josefina said as she rest her head on her hands and smiled
I then quickly turned my head away from Cythe
"Ah the blood's off now!"
I shouted embarrassed
Cythe then sat straight and was about to put away the cloth
"W-wait there's still blood on it! Give it to me i'll wash it"
I said as i was reaching for the cloth
But Cythe quickly pulled the cloth out of my reach again and said
"Wash it? yesterday you said the same thing and yet the cloth you took from me still isn't back yet"
He raised his brows as he said that
"What are you talking about?"
I shouted
"That was because I haven't had the chance to wash it yet so be patient and give it to me i'll wash both cloths at the same time"
I reached for the cloth and he gave it to me willingly
I then held it tight to not lose it
Josefina then stared at the both of us quietly then smiled
?
"Ok! since I have told all of our secrets why not tell yours?"
Josefina asked both me and Cythe to share our secrets
"I have no secrets"
Cythe said as he crossed his arms and looked straight at Josefina
"How about you?"
Josefina looked at me with sparkling eyes
"H-huh?"
Secrets..... should I tell them?
I then remembered her saying that she got the light magic
But josefina doesn't have the light magic not until my doom is near....
Am I gonna die?
I shivered at the thought
Cythe seems to notice my worried expression while he stares at me
"...."
Cythe looked at me quietly
He then turns to look at Josefina and said
"Ina will you step out for a minuet I need to talk about something with Athy"
"Only the 2 of you?"
Josefina asked
"Yes"
Cythe answered immediately
Josefina stood there for a second then smiles and nodded
She opened the door and looks back at us
"If you ever want to know where I am i'm at the library"
She smiles then closed the door gently
"..."
It's now only the two of us
"Athy"
Cythe called my name
"Yes?"
I answered back
....

~de Leon Manor~
"You stupid son of mine!"
Mrs. de Leon threw a vase at Claude's face bringing uproar in the manor
"Mistress!"
The butler yelled
"No, it's ok Bernard"
Claude said as he smiled and he raised his hand to stop the Butler
The Butler notices he bowed his head and steps back
"Mother your showing too much anger you might faint at this point"
Claude calmly said while blood from his head dripped to his cheek and stained his clothes
"Young master"
The Butler mumbled
But once again Claude smiled and gave the butler a look to not intervene
"You monster, don't tell me what to do!"
Mrs. de Leon shouted once again and took something from the table beside her
She raised her hand and tries to throw the object to Claude once again
Then suddenly Claude caught his mothers arms to stop her from throwing things at him
Claude's mother then turned to look at Claude who grabbed her hand tightly
"Let go of me.... you monster!"
Mrs. de Leon looked at Claude with hatred and looked at him as if he was a monster
"If it weren't for you my life would have been so much better without you!"
Mrs. de Leon said shouted angrily
But Claude still smiled and said
"Mother I told you if you show too much anger you'll be bedridden or worse"
Claude said with a smile on his face
"You.... Your going to kill me?! you monster let me go!"
Mrs. de Leon screamed and tried to remove her hands from Claude's grasp
"Mother..."
Claude smiled as he went near and whispered to his mother's ear
"Be careful mother if you don't want to hurt yourself"
He then slowly steps back and let go of his mothers arm
Mrs. de Leon then quickly took her hand and grabbed her wrist
Claude then turned to look at Bernard and said
"Bernard, I think mother isn't feeling too well she needs her rest"
Claude said smiling
"Yes young master"
Bernard said as he bows his head
Bernard then gave 2 young servants a glance they nodded and they quickly took Mrs. de Leon to her room
"Get your hand ms off me! That monster is planning to kill me! Let me go I sai let me go!"
Mrs. de Leon shouted trying to get way from the 2 servants grasp but Mrs. de Leon was overpowered by them and was successfully taken away
Claude then starts to walk away to his office
"Young master, your injury"
Bernard said with a worried look on his face
Claude then looked back and said
"I can take care of it myself, bring the kit to my office"
Claude said then walks away to his office
Bernard was still worried but he can't do anything else so he just bowed his head and went to go get the kit
...
...
...
*Clack Clack*
The sound of Claude's shoes could be heard in the quiet hallway to his office
....
*Clack Clack Clack*
....
*Creaaaaaak*
He opened the door to his office and sat down on his chair touching his head where he has the injury
He closed his eyes and remembered the incident yesterday
Claude smiled menacingly and mumbled
"Heh.... I'll kill that woman..."
