SUBstitute

C18- Mongolian Death Worm

As soon we reach the desert after climbing the huge wall.  That right this place is sorrounded by canyons.. this time I got a camera which I insist Naseth to buy when they go to the human world.. I let Itnesse become my cameraman and sometimes we took pictures together on those canyon. When we down to real desert sand the wind woosh... Napapikit ako ng...may nakapasok ba na buhangin sa mata ko. Nang Wala na Ang hangin ay ginuligod ko ang aking mata.
Are you okay?- Itnesse asked. I just nodded.
It's so hot, let's go out there- hila ko sa kanya sa may circle na canyon para sumilong.
Here water-  I give him the bottle after I drank.
This place is awesome though it hot I was glad to come here.- I spoke admiring the sorrounding. I shove my hand on the sand. It was thinner and smoother.
It is your first time going to a desert?- I heard him asked.
Well yeah, Im not travelling even how much I want it so I'm now doing so. - I replied. My family is always busy that we don't find time to travel like others did. I don't have a boyfriend that can accompany during weekend and I'm just busy at home and school.
I guess your right, this place is beautiful I only read about this place but never imagined it would look like this.- he smile. I lean forward and wipe his glasses.
It also your first time here? -
Hmm.. I often stay in the forest and in human world and was busy so I also didn't come to desert in human or here. -
I see, then try to see this beautiful world sometimes it helps freshen up. -
Then let go somewhere next time.-
Ha? Sure.. but maybe and it will take time before we go to next one since I promise to go next with Naseth and oh Warlty also want have have vacation with me alone, he was mad when Golo and I went to beach and I'm sure I be cold shoulder when we go home.- just imagining it will give me headache.
Naseth? That peculiar.. I mean you never had a good relationship so going out with him surprised me.- he tried to explain his remarks but I dont mind it. I stood up lye down on the sand just next to it and asked him to bury me.
I just.. want to thank him that's why. Though we're cold tj each other he never really harm me and let me live like I want. I can't wish for nothing more.- I stare at clear sky and the sun shine on my naked face.
Arent tire of pretending? - I look at him who's focus on putting sand on me.
Why do you always so enthusiastic when your in pain? I once asked myself whenever I saw and I hated you for that. I watched you sub in the corner of the garden but I can't do anything to help. I blame myself if I could just stop you being a substitute then. I'm so.. sorry. . I was dumbfounded but smile.
So you knew. Don't worry you have no fault on it. Thank you for thinking of me. That so sweet of you. - bumabgon ako at yinakap Sya. I'm so blessed to have a friend like him.
The smell of food wake me up, and then it already night time. What just happened? It turn out I fallen asleep in his arm due to exhaustion.
Sorry bout that men. What do we have here? - I look to the food. There is fish that already cooked and fruits. As we chum on on those fruit I look to the endless desert.
What are thinking?- I heard him spoke but I can't take my eyes off to the wilderness I'm staring at.
Do you think I'm what I'm doing is right?. I am at loss right now. I'm at breaking point where j can't even think right. - my tears descent. I'm not really thinking anything right now but I can't help myself. He pull me for a hugs and comforted me with his warm. I feel so comfortable that I let go some if my emotion I him. I cried and let out of my feeling that my problem. When I calm down I apologized and have run in the sad. I run, i stomp I play like a child in the starry sky.  When I return Itnesse smile at me and so I does.The night is quite chilly so in a piece of sheet we share together.
Do you regret following my brother here?-
No. I don't regret coming in this world. Rather, I regret how I came here. I made a mistake to come here in a wrong way, so now everything messes up. -
That must be though for you. But always remember I be always beside you to love and comfort you. I will listen to everything you will say and help you in your needs- I smile and thank him. When the ambiance become so quiet, we look at each other eye he moves closer to me, though I know where it heading I didn't move and wait for his lips who reaches mine and had. Passionate kiss ever.
The next morning, Im feeling great and so we enjoy our time together in this place. No more drama.
At lunch, I was curving a wood when I accidentally cut my finger. The knife is well blade so even it just. Little pressure medyo malalim it at medyo maraming dugo lumabas. I shake my hand tj remove the dropping blood then put my finger on my mouth.
Reklanar, are you okay?- Itnesse approaches looking distress. Could it be the smell of my blood.
Did you cut your finger- he look at my finger at my mind nd in the drop of blood in the sand. . suddenly the earth start to shake.
This is bad, pack your bag, hurry- he help me pack and then he quickly carry me and jump to the top of the canyon which in the other side is the forest. At the top flat surface we look down and seen the sand start to becoming a mountain then not so long appear a giant monster with scary mouth. It so huge and start moving from there and here like looking for something. Don't tell me my blood awaken it again like what happened in the forest. I look into my finger worry that if still bleeding that monster will smell it but surprise when Itnesse sucking my finger. His eyes glistens red for. Moment. I felt pain in my hand due to his sucking my blood.
Itnesse.. it hurts- I tried to pull my hand and push his head but ni avail, I call for him but like he was not in his self
Due to pain, I ate my scream and tears just shower my eyes.  I close my eyes enduring the pain when it stop. I open my eyes to see Itnesse who's kneeling stops and also surprised looking t me.
Itnesse. Thanks goodness- I sighed din relief.
I'm sorry.. what have I done?- before he get depress I told him that it okay and I understand.
I'm sorry.. I didn't be able to control myself- he apologized again.
It okay, now that the death worm gone I think we're safe- we look down see that worm already gone.
A death worm you say?- I nodded and describe it to it. After everything  we go home early because we can't possibly return thereafter what happened. Night time and we're in the forest, there still a long way but we stop to rest. In the morning, we continue to our travel we reach the vampire parameter and I asked him to go on cause I can go home by myself but insist to escort me. We walk in normal pace when suddenly he told me that we should hurry.
What the matter?- I asked seeing his expression change. Pero di to sumagot, tumakbo nalang kami ng makarating kami sa cave agad itong umalis matapos sabihing Kita uli kami. Like what wrong with him.  Naglakad ako patungo sa cave ng makitang nasa labas din si Naseth kasama ang ilang kasamahan. Theim and  others excuse themselves ng lapitan ko sila . Binaba ko ang aking bag at nagsalin ng tubig.
How was your trip?- he asked while I gulo in the water.
Great. We had encounter a death worm but thank goodness we escape it early thanks to Itnesse. But he's acting strange just now. - I wonder when I think of it.
Probably because the old man returns.- he responds. Old man? Nagpalumbaba Naman akong tumingin sa kanya.
Old man? What you mean?- he signal something on the maids around.
Their elder, Seine grandfather?- ha.. any daw Seine grandfather?
Your saying their grand grand father still alive? And he return?- I was shocked to what I heard. The food arrived and it was meat.
Vampires has long life afterall. - napaisip Naman ako oo nga noh, they're indeed like an immortal. Kung ganun yun Ang dahilan at nagmanadali si Itnesse pero bat ganun expression nya. Napatigil Naman ako sa pagkain at napatingin sa steak.
You don't need to slice it for me. Hmpp. Acting kind and gentlemen won't make me forgive you. - sungit ko. Nagiging comfortable na ako sa kanya ah and even him talking to me casually.
When will you stop playing around with those guys. Can you stop your little revenge now. ;- I look at him confused.
What revenge? Me to you? Haha dream on,.Im just a bitch that flirt to handsome guys. Why are you jealous seeing your toy playing with another? - I smirked but he was serious and then kissed me in my lips and again bit me. Haist.. I'm really become a vampire sucking monster if he continue to do this. I push him away and slap him saka kinuha Ang plate ng steak. Pagpasok sa Silid nilagay ko ang steak sa table and jump into the bed ng maubo ako.
My gosh.. CINOSA!!- I scream.. the door open at bumungad itong nakalabas Ang dila, showing playful innocent face.
Look what you done to my bed Purr everywhere.-
Were so sorry miss... We forgot to clean your room- the three running and so scared. Naoahilot nalang ako ng noo.
It okay, hurry up and change the bed sheet and you- I look at CINOSA, who run and hug me, acting sweet like a cat, I mean he is a cat.
Sorry, I just have nothing to do so I sleep probably Everyday.- Ginulo Ang buhok nito.
I've here a steak, you can eat it outside- agad itong humiwalay Sakin at kinuha Ang plato at agad na umalis, ng matapos maayos Ang bed Ang nagpaalam narin and tatlo. Now, now, u can finally rest comfortably. Dahil narin sa pagod ng paglalakbay namin nakatulog ako agad.
