All Chapters of The Last Enchantress: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Velvet Victoire, the point of view.Seeing their worried faces and trying to help me get inside like an injured person - like Sasha - makes me forget what Leona had just said to me. Lahat ay hindi nagtugma. Hindi nagtutugma ang puso't isipan ko sa sitwasyon ngayon.I'm torn into pieces.Wala na akong alam kung anong gagawin ko. Douglas just gave me one last time to reconcille with the Mortimer and remember who I was and what has happened with my life before. And I can't just throw it out and blame Mortimer for everything. I didn't know what happened. I cannot remember myself.For this moment I feel like I am now wanting to ask help for the parents I lived with for many years. Tita Aivy and Tito Miguel. Alam nila kung anong nararapat. Alam nila kung paano ako tulungan. I tried so hard not to cry in front of them as they try to help carry Sasha inside. Samantalang sina Jake at Jace ay inalalayan akong pumasok habang kinakamusta ako. But their voices were blur - like those ears filled w

Velvet Victoire, the point of view.I went back to the Mortimer mansion, leaving tita Bella to the old one. Hindi niya ako binigyan ng kasagutan. I wonder she knows that I already remember what happened that night I was murdered. As Douglas chanted those spells in the woods with me that night I left to go back to the Mortimer, he did not just cast a spell - he was returning the memories I gave to them.Domini incantatorum memoriam mihi da eis pro hac nocte mortem oppetendam. Ostende quid videam, ostendis viam hac nocte mori. Et nomino populum meum fidelissimum. It means Lord of the enchantments give them my memory for tonight in which I must die. Show me what I see, and show me the way to die tonight. And I name my most faithful people.And some of the faithful people were Douglas and Leona, and also Athena; the bestfriend I had that I now loathe because of Jake."Therese," panimula ko nang maramdaman ko ang presensya niya sa likod ko habang naglalakad sa pasilyo patungo sa kwarto. "P

Velvet Victoire, the point of view.There are two types of friends. A friend that we could trust forever, and a friend that would betray us. I can say that the family Mortimer is both. I can trust them forever and be betrayed behind my back silently; until I caught them wearing sheep clothes in a wolf's body. How pathetic."Velvet..."Habang umiilaw pa rin ang bilog na mahika na nasa aking noo ay hinawakan ko si tita Bella sa braso at idiniin ang mga daliri ko sa balat niya. I can see in her face that she's in pain. This magical circle is indeed powerful. I can crush her with it."Nasaan si tita Aivy?" giit kong tanong. I stared at her for so long while I dug deep into her skin pero hindi siya pumapalag."Hindi kita maintindihan -""Quit playing around, Bella! Nasaan si tita Aivy?!" "Ano?"Tinanggal ko ang pagkakahawak ko sa braso niya. "Alam ko na ang lahat. You all betrayed me. And when you try changing the fate, you will still betray me and that will keep going on for centuries

Athena La Croix, the point of view.Isang matalik na kaibigan ko si Velvet. Hindi pa man sila nagkakilala ni Jake at ng mga Mortimer ay kami ang naunang nagkikita at nagkamabutihan ng loob. I admit, what happened to her made me mourn every year and what I saw in her vision angers me. Nais kong maghiganti para kay Velvet. Marami akong pagkakataong maghiganti para sa kaniya lalo at nagkaroon kami ng koneksyon ng mga Mortimer.But upon seeing them happy that Velvet is back, umabante lahat ng mga pinaplano ko. That night when I asked my dad to imprison Velvet, I was trying to bring back her memories. I tortured her, yes. I let a guard follow her and threatened her from that night after we saw each matapos ang napakaraming siglo. I did all that to bring her back."Are you certain about this, ate?" nagaalalang tanong ni Althea sa 'kin habang naglalakad kami papasok sa napakalaking double door ng mansion ng La Croix.Huminto ako saglit para tignan si Althea."If it means it's what her heart

Velvet Victoire, the point of view.Truth be told, I don't want a blood shed across the town. I don't like to see people suffer and die. I'm scared.Pero nang makita ko 'yung memoryang 'yon ay hindi mawala sa puso ko ang pagliyab nito at ang sabik na maipaghiganti ang pamilya ko. My only family lies waiting for me to act and offer them a dead body. I want revenge and bring back my family. Sa isang alay ng katawan ay maaari kong maibalik ng buhay ang mga kauri ko - kung magagawa ko nang tama ang ritwal."Handa ka na ba, anak?" tanong sa 'kin ni Leona habang hinihimas ang likod ko. Even if she's dead I can still feel her solid hand on my back.Tumango ako. I look up to see the moon on the small circle window on the roof. Nasa gitna na ito at hudyat na nasa hatinggabi na.I stood up and turn to Leona. "Nasaan si Douglas?" Batid sa mukha niya ang biglang pagbago ng itsura niya pero hindi niya ito tinuon ng pansin at tinuro ang pinto sa labas. I nodded."Kailan mo kami ituring na magula
