I Saw You CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: Rank and Pride
Warm kisses of air showered my face. I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was Grip’s sleeping face. My lips formed a smile on their own. See-ers are warned through their visions and some visions come in a form of dreams. I got a three-fourth of a sweet dream and one-fourth of a nightmare and seeing Grip first thing in the morning washed my worries away. I slowly raised his arm that was snaked on my waist but he groaned and tightened his hold around me and pulled me closer to him. I studied his face and trailed my finger from the space between his brows down to his bridge to the tip of his nose and his lips. I inclined over and gave him a quick smooch on the lips but his hand on my waist swiftly raised to my nape pulling me back into a kiss. His lips alternately gave love to my top and bottom lip. “Your morning breathe tastes sweet,” he said after breaking the kiss and opened his eyes. I immediately inched my face away and covered my lips with my hands. He chuckled and

“Isn’t that Shenzhen Nongke orchids?” “That’s two hundred thousand dollars per piece!” “D*mn so lucky!” “Prayer reveal!” “How to be Serra?” I hit Grip’s side using my elbow to get his attention. “This is expensive. You should have given it to me in cash!” I moped. This was so impractical! I would have been rich and be able to leave this place. I may sell this but I couldn’t. It came from Grip and the sentimental value is higher than its price. “Don’t worry. I didn’t pay for it but I picked it and chose every flower myself. I chose the best because that is what you deserve.” He proudly presented that made me frown more. “So you stole these?” I lowered my voice. I don’t want everyone to know it was stolen. It would bring too much humiliation. I felt awful. I got butterflies in my stomach over stolen flowers geez! “They are not stolen. Someone I knew gave them to me...” He paused as if he was reminiscing. “Was forced to gave to me rather,” he muddled really good that I didn’t u

“When I held his hand I saw his evil deeds instead of his death,” I told him what I saw, every single detail. “Calm down, Serra. Maybe it was what the heavens want you to see.” He held my shoulder and pulled me into a hug. “Does the heavens want me to stay awake all night my entire life?” I said annoyed. Who could sleep seeing that? Feeling that? I was him for god*mn seconds and of all seconds of his life, it was that seconds! I felt like it was me who raped that poor young student. I felt dirty. “Serra, look.” Grip cupped my face and directed my sight to his hypnotizing brown eyes. “It wasn’t you. Okay?” He caressed my cheeks, kissed my head, and put our foreheads against each other. After spending some moments in the garden we decided to go back to the dorm and I decided to sleep in his room. I could bear sleeping beside him with his roommates but he got none. I guess it was a bad choice. Gugu didn’t come along since she was with Amara tonight. Lulu accompanied Kate to her phot

I woke up with the space beside me empty. I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hands. I yawned and got up from bed. I went to the kitchen but no one was there. “Grip?” I called but no one answered. Maybe he went out. I head to the door and went out of his unit. I was frozen to my spot as everyone in the huge hallway turned in my direction. They were all wearing black cloaks and holding a scythe. They are not students. I are not in our dorm! “D*mn, Serra!” Grip wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me inside. I stared at him blankly. It took me time to process what the hell was going on. “Where are we?” At last, I was able to untangle my tongue. “Reaper’s den.” He pulled me with him to the kitchen. He pulled a chair for me to sit. “Is it alright to bring me here? Won’t they reap me? Won’t they report you to the heavens?” I nervously asked. “If it’s prohibited then I shouldn’t have brought you here,” he said while making two cups of coffee. “They won’t reap you unless it’s

“I just can’t let you die, Jann.” I blocked his way using my body. He didn’t say a word and just dodged me. I ran after him and blocked his way again. He ruffled his hair in annoyance. “Until when are you going to do this?” “I won’t stop until I convince you.” I raised my chin at him to show my determination. “Fine do what you want!” At last, he gave up. Being annoying has an advantage sometimes. We stopped in front of his office. He reached the knob and wrapped his hand around it. I couldn’t take my eyes off his hand. Especially the red stains. He swiftly opened the door and hid his hand behind him. I think he noticed me. I pushed him aside and went in first but he pulled me out using my shirt. “Where are you going?” He raised a brow at me. “Inside?” I responded uncertain and glanced at his hand again. “It’s just you and me inside, Miss Hilario. Isn’t it inappropriate for a grown-up lady and a grown-up man to stay alone inside a room?” he stated nonchalantly and crossed his ar

JANNSecond? I am labeled as Silverio’s genius and I ranked second? This can’t be! I am the best! I am the smartest!My phone rang and mom’s name flashed on the screen. I guess she knew already. She never calls unless there is a problem with my rank or scores or to remind me to rank first. I just watched it and waited until the screen turned black but after a few seconds the screen lit again. A message from mom appeared in my notification and it contained nothing but my uppercased name. Her indication that she’s d*mn serious and mad right now. When my phone rang again I immediately answered her call.“Second? Just second?” Her high-pitched complaints greeted and hurt my ears. I inclined my head away to the side inching myself. “The genius placed second? How can a genius place second? Better do something about it, Jann Gregson,” she continued in a threatening way.“It’s just the midterms, mom. I’m sure I’m still the top one this semester,” I contended.“I don’t care! I want you first ev

I got up from bed and tugged my hair. I couldn’t sleep well. Their smiles and insults haunted me even in my sleep. I turned on the lamp on my bedside table and I was welcomed by hundreds of certificates hanging on the wall, my certificates. I looked at them one by one reminiscing the bitter-sweet memories of every certificate. The sweet part is having them and the bitter part is mom. They said all mothers in the world are beautiful and I agree with that. My mother is beautiful but just on the outside. She always bragged my achievements to all her amegas but never told me she was proud of me. She just wanted to take all the credit for herself. She never really appreciated me and she doesn’t have to because according to her I owe my life to her because without her I won’t exist in this world as if I asked for it. She is my mom but was never a mother to me. I would rather die than have him as my mom. All my life I’ve always dreamed of telling her I don’t owe her anything since I didn’

I pulled out the knife and took quick steps backward. My eyes followed the gushing blood from his chest down to his waist. He was losing too much blood but he was just standing there looking at me coldly. Trembling hands, chattering teeth, pounding heart, and breathing roughly. All signs of fear. I felt them all. The fear he caused me was greater than my fear of dying. I understood his lethal silence. I dropped the knife and left him running. I wiped my hands covered by his blood using my handkerchief. I head to my office. My heart ran wild when Hilario showed up in front of me. “I just can’t let you die, Jann.” She blocked my way. I ignored her and continued walking my way. Latching on you would bring my death earlier, Hilario. I felt her run after me and blocked my way again. I ruffled my hair in annoyance. “Until when are you going to do this?” “I won’t stop until I convince you.” She raised her chin. She’s being stubborn. I like the old Hilario. She was once silent on her ow

I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY-TWO: Mirror
SERRA “Dad,” I called him.It has been days yet he was still sad and listless.“What can do for yoy, sweetheart?” He forced a smile but the sadness in his eyes was visible.“I-I want to ask you about someone.” I lowered my head.“Come here.” He tapped the space beside him. I obliged and sat next to him. “About who?” he asked.“About my mom,” I stuttered.Hearing the last word he was grief-stricken. I felt bad asking about it.“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t feel like it, dad,” I sincerely said.He shook his. “It’s about time.” He smiled genuinely. “What do you want to know about her?”“What does she look like?” I asked even though I already knew.He moved away and pulled something out of the drawer of his bedside table. He gave me a round object. It was metal-like and silver in color with gold Vines and red roses all over.“Open it,” he told me after handing it over.I ran my thumb tracing the vine and pulled the top part upward. I saw myself, my reflection.“You’re a carbon
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY-ONE: Shadow
The moment the water swallowed me I held my breath. There’s no way I’m letting the cold enter me. I looked up but it’s all water above me. My hair floats over my head like seaweeds. In the rashness of the moment, I began flinging my arms out.I expect to come back out and I did. I gasped for air before sinking again. I kicked my legs and flapped my arms and I was back to the surface again. But each chance to breathe became further apart. Each breath was less than the last.I tried once more. The more I struggle the more disoriented I became. I felt like I’m trashing inside an invisible prison. My first instinct was to get some air but there should be something else. I couldn’t fight for air forever. I need to find a way out.I pushed with my legs and arms and when I was able to bob my head out of the water, I breath as deep as I could. The water pulled me again. I looked around and saw a wall. The fear I felt was overlain by hope. I flicked my feet and tried to reach the walk. It was
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY-ONE: That Thing
“No... That couldn’t be.” Kate staggered backward. “It should be there. I should be there,” she repeatedly uttered pulling her hair.I run towards her. “Don’t worry, Kate. We are going to find Lulu’s body.” I assured her and patted her shoulder.She yanked her shoulder away from my grasp and took a few steps backwards. She kept on pulling her hair and her eyes were restless. She didn’t know where to focus them.“W-What if that thing took it? W-What if that thing swallowed it?” Her breathing turned shallow and fast. She punched her head with boths hands wandering with little steps. She’s mentally unstable. I walked near her and caught her hands stopping her from hitting herself.“Stop it, Kate. You’re hurting yourself,” I told her.She already suffered enough. I couldn’t bear watching her like this.“That thing swallowed Lulu whole!” she squealed oogling her eyes at me.I grabbed her cheeks and made her look at me. “What thing, Kate? What thing?”After a moment of touching her face m
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY-ONE: Big Sis
“I am sorry for ignoring you, guys.” Kate lowered her head. “I was just scared of Lulu. I’ve known her for years and I didn’t know she was capable of any of that. I know she won’t hurt any of you though. She was just after me.” Her voice cracked. I moved closer to her and rubbed her back. Comforting her is the only thing I could do for her right now. “Nothing of that is your fault, Kate. Monsters are made. Envy made Lulu into one.” I pulled her making her lean into me as she sobs. “But she is still the Lulu that we know. She’s a beautiful flower,” I added. She lifted her eyes to meet mine. “Will she become a flower forever? Are we going to meet her, the real her?” “No.” I shook my head. “In the next life I could be an animal or a plant or I could be in your body and you could be in mine. It depends on the decisions we make at this lifetime. That doesn’t mean we aren’t real. The real us is not our flesh but our soul.” I wiped her tears away. She nodded and smile. She leaned against
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Free
I dropped my phone after hearing what she said. I hastely went back to the elevator and ran again toward the gym. It was passed two in the afternoon already. “Serra, here!” Mandy waved her hand at me. I ran in thier direction. I gasped for air. “Where is Amanda?” “Amara called and they were together at the moment. What’s going on?” She looked both worried and confused. I looked at Lulu’s direction and Mandy already got what I meant. “Lulu!” I approached her. She turned around and faced me. She was wearing an ice-cold expression, far from the Lulu that I knew. Something was really not right here. I saw Kate died but her name wasn’t carved at the black scroll. I shook the doubt in my mind and focused to the present. “Lulu, grab my hand and get out of the body.” I lend my hand to her but just like before she just stared down my hand. “Yes, Lulu. Do it. Trust her,” Mandy encouraged. She looked at me and smiled. I was relieved to see her smile but my heart started to race pushing m
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Mourn
“Are you sure about that?” Grip asked. “Yes, bring me back to the mansion. I chose to front my fear.” I firmly said. He nodded and smiled. He was proud. He grabbed my waist and pulled me nigh him. Lulu’s and Dorothy’s name was already written on the scroll of death and today was the thirteenth day from Xyrus’ supposed to be death. I wanted to save them, to do that I need to watch dad’s every move. I was not certain if my plan would work but I have to try at least. “Grip, something’s off–” I turned around but he wasn’t here anymore. “Grip?” I sighed and just walked the long way toward the mansion. He was vanishing from my sight very often this days. It was a sign that he would leave and cross to the other side very soon. As I walk the garden I came across with bronze maids. They would avoid taking the same way as I do. They would even avoid staring in my eyes. I stared at the huge closed door before me. Just by thinking of going inside gave me goosebumps. I took a deep breath. I p
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Sword of Hustling Wind
Fear enveloped me when I arrived at the mansion. Dead bodies of maids were lying everywhere in the front yard. The metallic scent of blood was giving me a feeling of gagging. I looked around hoping that I could find someone breathing but I was too late. Some were beheaded, some were stabbed multiple times, and chopped like a piece of meat. “Ahh!” I snapped my head in the mansion’s direction. I knew that scream and it was coming from the mansion. I ran and ran. Ran as fast as I could. I pushed the mansion’s door wide open. In front of me was dad wearing his usual coldness. In front of him stood Amanda. She was dressed like the lady in red. I saw no emotion in her eyes. Dad placed his hand on her shoulder and whispered to her, “say hi to your sister.” Amanda slowly raised her hand and waved at me like a puppet. “Hi...” Dad’s lips twitched. He didn’t like what Amanda did. His fingers turned black and grew long. Digging its sharpness in her shoulder. “Do it with a smile.” He gritted h
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Previous Life
“Why did we stop?” I poked my head out of my carriage’s window. “A man dropped in the middle of the road, madame,” the coachman responded. I rose from my seat but a man stopped me by grabbing my arm. His face was a bit blurry but the longer I stare the much clearer his face become. My brows furrowed to see Xyrus who was wearing a weird looking clothes from the past. The breeches were long and fairly full in cut, reaching just below the knee. The doublet has a high waist at the sides and back, extending to a point in front. A deliberate opening of the seam on each sleeve allows the fine linen shirt underneath to be seen. He completed his attire with a cape that spans almost a full circle. I looked at myself. I was wearing a deep brown gown with a low rounded neckline and a small ruff paired with a winged collar. The tight sleeves have pronounced shoulder wings and deep lace cuffs. It has a matching petticoat pinned into flounces on a drum or cartwheel farthingale. I looked at him an

“D-Dad?” I whispered. He did not answer. I brought my phone out and opened my flashlight. I directed the light to his face. “Grip? What are you doing here?” He lended me his hand and pulled me up on my feet. “I should be the one asking you that. What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Are you seriously sneaking?” He made me turn my back at him and wiped the dust off my pajamas. “Yes, I am. So will you lower your voice now?” I scolded him in a whispering manner. “Do you think you won’t get caught? Maybe you passed through the elderlies but how about that?” He grabbed my hand and directed my phone’s light to the ceiling. I felt like my effort went to nothing to see the CCTV camera blinking red taunting me. I face-palmed. “You are lucky because you have a handsome boyfriend to the rescue.” He winked at me. “What did you do?” I narrowed my eyes at him. “Don’t looked at me like that. I just saved you from trouble. I moved the camera to somewhere that wouldn’t caught you.”
