Chapter Thirty-Seven:
The Person Behind the Stars

*^*^*^*^*^*^*

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY CHILD !" galit na sigaw ni Tiana nang makarating sa kinaroroonan ng mga Sanguinum Queens, unaware of what surprises they're about to see.

"Which one?" mapang-asar na tanong ni Jearleane, nalukot lalo ang mukha ng mag-asawa, "Rica or the favorite son?"

Hindi kaagad nakasagot ang mag-asawa, "Well either way they're gone," Saff crossed her arms and smirked, "Your son tried to stop Annessa, and your daughter gave war threats to the underworld, and is now held as prisoner 'til the underworld rulers set her free."

Tiana felt her knees go weak and Zeon had to support her, "B-blake, Rica... How could this be?" 

"Cheer up, atleast nandyan pa ang anak ni Zeon at ang walang kwentang bampirang si Blade." komento ni Vellaine na naging dahilan para mapansin siya ng dalawa, tinanggal ni Vellaine ang kaniyang salamin at isinabit sa damit.

"V-vel?" Gulat na tanong ni Zico

She glared at him, "'Wag mong mabanggit-bangit ang pangalan ko gamit 'yang bibig mo." 

"You-you're alive cousin?" Tanong rin ni Tiana, na mas lalong ikina-init ng ulo ni Vellaine, "Cousin? Bastardong anak ka ng asawa ng Duke Deadelous, a child born out of cheating on my uncle then you two pushed him to a painting, wala kang karapatang maging related saamin at tawagin akong pinsan, much less humawak ng title."

Mabilis na lumapit si Vellaine kay Tiana at sinampal 'to, ngunit alam ni Vellaine na hindi pa sapat ang isang sampal lang ang makukuha niya kapalit sa mga kasalanang ginawa niya.

"Vellaine!! How dare  you?! I am now the queen of Vexi! This is treason! Pati na rin sa ginawa mo kay Blake at Rica! You set them up!" Galit na responde ni Tiana. 

She then attempted to slap her back, but she was not up to the pureblood's strength and speed, kaya bilang resulta ay nakuha ni Vellaine ang kamay niya.

"Argh-! Let go Vellaine!" Tiana struggled,

"Yeah, I'm leaving... Tutulungan ko ang iba, they're too boring to watch." -Scarlet

"Yup' pakiramdam ko mawawalan ako ng braincells habang pinanonood ko si Tiana at habang ang asawa niya ay nakatanga lang." -Wendy

Pagpaalam ng tatlo, sila Wendy, Jearleane at Scarlet, tinanguan nalang sila ni Saff at hinatak din nila si Midess paalis, leaving only Charlotte, Annessa, Safiara and Vellaine.

"Such a fragile hand... and yet so sinful." Hinigpitan pa ni Vellaine lalo ang hawak sa kamay ni Tiana, she did it until a breaking sound could be heard, "You say you're the queen? Then why do you submit to someone with no title? Where is your king?"

Tila naging trigger words yon para kay Zion para bumalik sa realidad at nag-attempt na pakawalan si Tiana sa mga kamay ni Vellaine, pero agad siyang naharang ni Annessa, na kanina pa nanunuod at nakatingin sakanya. 

Nararamdaman niya ang kapangyarihan 'niya' kay Zion at Tiana, almost like a lingering smell. She knows it's bad news. 

Ginamit ni Vellaine ang libreng kamay niya at sinakal si Tiana, her other hand was freed as soon as she started to choke the vampire and lifted it up in mid-air.

Samantala, pinagmasdang mabuti ni Annessa ang nasa harap at kasalukuyang pinipigilan niyang si Zion at si Tiana na naka-lutang...

"Stop this Vellaine!" Zico shouted and reached out his hand to her direction.
