To Reach You : PROLOGUE

PROLOGUE

*The Past-current storyline*

I woke up one day realizing the inevitable, a feeling bound to tie me up with the man I met that no matter how hard he try to run, and that no matter how hard I dismiss it, we just keep getting entangled in each other's mess—a mess that at first I never knew existed. If only I knew better I would never have denied him and myself of the truth.

Scared? Yes and No. Yes—kase natatakot ako na baka ako lang, I really tried not to overthink things and stop myself from misinterpreting what he does sa harap ko, takot ako na mapahiya kase nag-assume ako. No—kase di naman ako takot sa kung ano mang kahihinatnan ng lahat ng to.

And then I just ended up accepting the fact that I really am in love with the handsome, mysterious dare devil they call emperor—ohh did I mention he's hot af as well? And that no matter how hard I resist, I just couldn't deny the fact that I'm undeniably attracted to the guy—ahh these hormones will be the death of me someday.

My life back in Fennette Empire Academy was perfect—an image I built, a rank I tried so hard for, and people look up on me, I was the perfect definition of a role model—good grades, good conduct, high morale and ettiquete.

But there's one thing I can't show them, the other side of me molded to perfection, an image my idiot f*****g brother taught me, something I picked up sa kapatid kong balahura, he taught me self defense—all sorts of them, taught me how to drive, taught me everything he knew na nung una hindi ko talaga maintindihan kung para saan, trained me for something that at the time I just couldn't comprehend what for—but the moment I transferred was where I started to realize its purpose, along with a huge secret that would change my life and the peace I once had was no more.

Along with it was a secret, a truth and a lineage even I was not aware of, sa Siena Academy ko naramdaman ang pagiging malaya, no restrictions, no image and morale to protect, and in fact I never felt this happy. Sa Siena ko din nagamit lahat ng bagay na tinuro sakin, all the self defense sessions has paid off, all the mind games my idiot f*****g brother made me do was put to use, all the smart ass tactics he made me learn became a convenience, all the weapons handling he made me master became handy, and beyond its wall lies a secret no one but the people involved is made aware of, along with its purpose.

"I-I...I like you" he confessed and I was so overwhelmed I didn't know what to say

Nung nakarecover ako "I like you too" was what I said pero di ko magawang tumingin sa kanya, masyado akong nahihiya at hindi pa ako ready makita ang reaction nya, baka madisappoint lang ako kapag nakita ko, I'm just not brave enough to face what reality his expression would hold.

"I meant it romantically" he said, hiding away the pain in his words, his face was grim, trying his best to mask any kind of emotion he did not want me to see

"I mean it when I told you so, bakit di mo ba naramdaman that i was sincere?" I said habang may tampo sa boses

After that incident, he disappeared without a word, without warning and I—I was left entirely broken and devastated, and to make matters worse, I met the Luschner head—in which later on turns out to be our Dad together with our Mom telling us—more likely me in the process dahil may natuklasan ako but its a blur, I just can't put two and two together at this point...I was told of a secret that shocked the hell out of me but I was too broken to care. And my life was never the same again. A secret unveiled. A mystery unmasked. A new life to embrace. A lineage and a truth. Came with it was a vow of allegiance from the most dangerous and the most feared reaper clan to ever exist.

*present*

Their paths crossed, he'd hoped for a normal life with her, a normal kind of friendship he thought would last until eventually that very friendship blossomed into something more, and before the buds started the chaos he so try hard to ran away from started chasing him once more—and so his hopes for a normal life came crashing right before his very eyes, and before something bad happens, he did the only thing he knew would be the best for everyone—run, run for dear life away from the one he truly cared about…

He ran, not because he wanted to—boy God f*****g knows how badly he wanted to stay with her, make her feel how much he truly care, appreciated and love her but he just can't escape rom it, he ran because it was the only way he knew to keep her safe and because they just always end up being tangled in each other's mess, he ran because he knew he couldn't protect her the way he wanted to, he ran because it was the only way to keep her from the chaos he bring, he ran not knowing the she too has long been running towards the danger he tries so hard to keep her away from, he ran not knowing the she too, before they even met and long before she was born had a destiny set in stone, the moment he realized this she'd disappear to a place so close yet so far, a place he couldn't reach, and on that eventful day when they finally meet again they came face to face with a gun hand in hand at each other's' throats

"uhm?" nag-aalangang sagot ko dito na sinusubukan pang takpan ang mukha ko

"haha, bakit mo tinatakpan yung mukha mo?" natatawa tawang di makapaniwalang sagot nito

"Uhm, naninibago kase ako" nahihiyang sagot ko dito

when everything seemed so hopeless..when I was about to loose it..he made me believe again..he supplied everything I missed..he gave me love..he gave me happiness and most importantly he gave me friendship beyond compare..he was an angel..he saved me..he saved my soul from falling..but what I didn't see is his soul that needed mending

He may be as good as a saint..but never break open that side of him dahil kahit gano ka pa man kalakas at katatag..wala kang laban sa lakas at bangis niya..kaya niyang pumatay ng tao..isang bagay na kinatatakutan ko sa kanya..he's over protective..strict yet loving and sweet..galawin mo na ang lahat..saktan mo na siya pero huwag na huwag ang mga taong importante at mahalaga sa kanya dahil kapag nangyari yun maghanda ka na..

Long before they met, her fate was set in stone, she was found, and with that came a reality never in her life imagined to be quite possible, with it she was claimed, and with it the rose was found, along with the truth, the key and the Gold that was lost in time, with her the journey continues, and the story was foretold and she continued where they left off…

***

All my life..misery and pain has been my only friend..I was left all alone..everything changed when my sisters died..I could have done something but I was too weak..I was the reason why she died...

I mastered and learned the art of self defense..of fighting..not because I should but because I must to avoid that incident from ever happening again..I had been always there for others..di bali nang ako ang masaktan huwag lang sila..that's how important they are to me..

"I know what you are" sabi ko, naisip ko kase na kung malaki ang kinalaman niya sa buhay ni Corinth edi may possibility

"Huh?" Was his innocent reply

"What you are, what you do, your secret, its something you can't escape from, not because you wanted to but because you neve had a choice" sagot ko lang

"I was so careful, I was so distant, yet nagawa mo pa ding malaman yun, you are free to leave, thank you for everything >.>" was his meaningful reply

"Matagal ko nang alam bruh, nakikinig ka ba sa sinasabi ko?? I'm not like that tulad ng iniisip mo, iba ako sa mga nakilala mo na, I stick to what I believe in, mas tumatatak sakin ang mga sinasabi at pinapakita ng isang tao sakin hindi yung mga nadidinig at sinasabi ng iba. And honestly? I don't really care" sabi ko lang

****

I may be nice..kind hearted and good but there is a side of me that I can't get rid of..A past that haunts me...I may be rich..but beyond this handsome face is a monster you dare not see..this loneliness is unbearable..but I have to be strong for the one's I love

How will you save a broken soul if you are just the same?

How will you reach out to someone who is so elusive and deep?

How will you make him open when he's too distant and calculating?

How will you save the one you love from falling?

How will you make him believe that you will never be like the ones in his past?

How will you reach someone you knew yet a stranger in many ways?

How can you love someone knowing the situation you're in?

How can the thing that your heart and soul was saying reach a soul and heart so far away?

How can you fight all the odds? All the perks of that love you had when you know you'd loose something?

***

He's A monster, chaos always follows his path…

She's an angel, her destiny is set in stone…

He's rich

She's a commoner

They met..

everything changed..

a wild goose chase started..

she choose to leave everything for him...

What is that inevitable mutual connection they had that they cannot control?

Why is it that despite their mutual connection, they can't pursue it?

How will you reach a soul too distant and too isolated?

How can you begin when from the start you knew you had to risk something, when you know what it'd cost?

A Necklace.

A secret.

A discovery.

A connection.

A truth.

Our story began in the past, and in the future it was foretold only to begin again…my name is Genevere and this is a story about my journey to a whole new world…her name is Ezschaelle and the story continues…
