REALIZATION

Mino's P.O.V

First of all, why the hell it is cold in here? Last thing I remembered, we are in a dessert, so why I feel so cold?

I prepared myself to feel the pain on the side of my head as I remembered what happened earlier ngunit tila nakakapagtaka na wala akong nararamdaman na kahit anong kirot.

Why the hell I feel as if I had never had a hard impact on my head? Agad akong natigilan dahil sa narinig ko na tila impit na tili ni Vreihya. Damn! What is happening?

I quickly opened my eyes at agad na sumalubong sa akin ang mukha ng prinsesa but I saw the fresh blood dripping from the side of her head.

Tila nalilito pa din ako kung nasaan kami ngayon at bakit napakalamig ng paligid. There are a lot of questions in my head ngunit tila natigilan ako nang mawalan ng balanse si Vreihya ngunit may ibang sumalo sa kaniya.

I immediately set aside all of the questions on my head as I saw who it is. First of all, he is not allowed to touch here, second, why is he here? I remembered too damn well how I hate his arrogance and overconfidence!

I can't allow seeing this in front of me! I just found myself standing harshly and pulling her away from the prince that can manipulate the snow. Eh kung gawin ko kaya siyang snow globe tapos alug-alugin ko bunbunan niya?

Agad kong hinigpitan ang pagkakalapat ng mga bisig ko sa kaniya. I will never let anyone else touch her. She is not mine but no! I just can't afford seeing her in another man's arm. It's driving me nuts!

"Bakit ka nandirito?" I asked him while I am preparing myself to attack! I don't know if he's an ally or not. I must not let my guard down!

Mas lalo kong hinigpitan ang pagkakahawak ko kay Vreihya dahil kahit na alam ko na mas lamang ang kaharap ko ngayon pagdating sa lakas at kapangyarihan ay hindi ako makakapayag na basta magpatalo o kaya naman ay saktan niya ang prinsesa.

"Look she is bleeding. Huwag ako ang pagtuunan mo ng pansin," oh shit! Agad akong napatingin kay Vreihya after he stated that. God! She is indeed bleeding! Akala ko ay namamalik-mata lamang ako kanina.

I quickly lifted her up and lay her on the bed. Damn! Damn! No! Why is she bleeding? I thought I am the one who hit the rock!

I quickly lifted my hand to stopped the man that I can feel is attempting to get closer to her! No! I am afraid that I can't allow you to do that! Magagawa mo lang lumapit kung wala na ako sa mundong ito.

"I don't know you! Huwag kang lalapit sa kaniya," I said harshly and pierced a death glare on him. "I can see that your territorial ngunit alamin mo kung nasaan ka ngayon mortal," he warned. I smirked, and he thought that was enough to scare me?

Hindi ko na siya pinansin and I quickly grabbed a piece of fabric on my bag at the lower side of the bed. I quickly use it to gently wipe away the traces of blood on her cheek. Damn! Hirap na hirap akong pigilan ang aking kamay sa panginginig.

"I don't care if you're stronger than me dahil hindi mo siya pwede hawakan," I warned but he just smirked. I don't know if this is his doing or not ngunit tila domoble ang lamig na nararamdaman ko. Curse this snowman!

I intently look at the blood on her cheek as I completely wiped them off, now I will add this to my list. I hate it when she is bleeding.

I was about to switch to the side of her head where the fresh wound is placed ngunit agad niya akong pinigilan. "Don't worry about that maghihilom na din 'yan maya-maya," she stated.

I immediately raised a brow, she is really hard headed. I told her to look at where she is going but she didn't listen to me. Look at her state now! How am I going to be worthy for her if I can't protect her from wounds like this?

Napakatigas ng ulo ng prinsesa na ito, mas inuna pa kasi makipag-tsismisan sa akin kaysa isipin na dapat siya mag-ingat. Does she want to kill me with worries?

"Ako na nga ang nagpatama sa bato para hindi ka tamaan pero bakit may sugat ka pa din?" I hissed but I saw how she looked so surprised. Really? She didn't think that I did that on purpose just for her?

Ahm okay? Ouch?

"Itigil niyo 'yan, nakakasura!" I looked at Olaf, Oh! I mean Calix and gave him a lazy look. Like dude? Bitter?

"Anong ginagawa ng prinsipeng ito dito?" I asked, my first impression of him is not great and it still isn't so why is he here?

" I am here to kill you both," he said and I saw how his eyes ignited as sharp ice daggers formed on his opposite sides. I immediately closed my fist and stood up to protect Vreihya. I knew it! His plotting a move to harm the both of us.

"Bring it on Elsa!" I exclaimed and his brows furrowed. In fact, Elsa is my favorite character but this Elsa in front of me, I will surely break his neck!

"You're too arrogant for a human," mayabang niyang sagot pabalik sa akin. Ow yeah? So what?

"Can you just please stop this nonsense?" Vreihya said then she quickly appeared between us. She sighed harshly as if she is not sure if she will do something about this.

"Mino, meet Calix Amadeus Salizte, my childhood friend," she said. Wait! What? Childhood friend? But when we are on the duel, he looked more like an enemy and not a friend of hers. They're friends all along? What happened in that duel? An act?

I was taken aback when her so-called friend suddenly laugh as if he is hearing some kind of joke. "Childhood friend lang ba Vreihya?" he teased then a grin registered on his face. Vreihya is facing him and I can bet that she is looking at him with a warning.

"I am Prince Calix Amadeus of the Salizte kingdom and I am the original mate of Princess Vreihya Amely Zecillion before you entered the prophecy human," he stated as if it is a kind of trophy to be bragged about.

Fuck fuck fuck!

Has he already pierced me with his ice daggers? Why is something making my heart ache as if I am pierced by something. All this time he is the original? I am not the original chosen one for her?

I don't know why I felt electricity on my veins as if I wanted to burst or release something. Damn! All this time pinanghahawakan ko na baka karapat-dapat din naman ako para sa kaniya dahil ako ang nakatadhana sa kaniya ngunit bakit pakiramdam ko ay nanliliit ako ngayon.

It was supposed to be him all this time? Sure! Bagay sila! He is a prince with power and they are also friends, mas matagal silang magkakilala kaysa sa amin.

Who am I? I am just a human that ruined their supposed-to-be love story. Kung hindi ba ako ang nakatadhana sa kaniya, would she rather be with me than his friend?

Am I just a back up plan all along? Simula nang may nararamdaman na ako para sa kaniya, I took pride of being her fated mate yet knowing that there is someone who was supposed to be and I am just a second pick made me feel as if this knot on my chest grew tighter.

Stupid Mino! I already knew that reality will struck me but not this quick! I knew that I should be glad that it was me this time. Ako na ang nakatadhana para sa kaniya but heck! He is supposed to be the one! He is the original!

Maybe kung hindi na ako naisingit pa sa bwesit na propesiya na ito baka sila talaga ang para sa isa't isa. Damn! I need to stop this! Para akong sinampal ng katotohanan. I am just a second choice after all.

She will never choose to be with me kung hindi lang dahil sa lintik na propesiya na 'yan! That's the only reason why she is choosing to deal with me. Hindi ako naniniwala na wala siyang nararamdaman para sa prinsipeng 'yan.

They are childhood friends, they are supposedly for each other, anong laban ko? Who am I? She's just with me because of that damn prophecy. Nothing more!

"Great to know that I wasn't the original. How I wish na pinaglaban mo ang pagiging orihinal mo para hindi na ako nadamay dito," I said coldly.

Damn! It hurts!

Screw it Mino!
