Fangs of a Half-Blood

16 | Original Vampire's Wrath

There are numerous of voices ringing in my ear. My head was as if wanting to explode because of the pain I've felt. Nagrambulan naman ang aking puso. I slowly opened my eyes. Face of the both person I dislike greeted me. A devilish smile formed upon Kiara's lips. At ganoon din ang ginawa ni Akihiro.

"The golden boy just got wake up!" anunsyo pa ni Kiara.

Sinamahan pa niya ito ng nang-iinsultong palakpak. Nangingibabaw kaagad ang galit sa akin nang maalala kong may taong naglagay ng panyo sa ilong ko kanina. And I cannot believe that person was Kiara.

Iginala ko ang aking mata sa paligid. There are torches in circle. And we are in the middle of the forest. Hindi ko alam kung saan ito. I tried to get up from where I am sitting. But fear took over my system when I realized. Nakagapos ang mga kamay ko at paa sa upuan gamit ang lubid.

Kinabahan ako nang kakaiba. I looked at my left side. Naglakihan ang aking mga mata nang makita kong nakagapos din si Hecate nang walang malay. Few inches away from Hecate, nakagapos din ang malaking asong may puting balahibo. Ginapos siya gamit ang mga kadena.

The animal's furs were as stormy as Lupus' hair. His eyes met mine. Sumalubong sa akin ang mata niyang kulay dilaw. It is the same color of the beast I saw last week. Pero hindi ako nakaramdam ng takot mula sa kaniya.

His eyes were apologizing. It's as if he was telling me he failed to protect me. A tears trying to escape from my eyes. Hindi ko alam kung saan galing 'yon. Isa lang ang alam ko, delikado ang buhay namin.

To restrain myself from crying, I looked at my right side. There I realized, may mga taong nakasuot ng itim na damit. Most of them are men. Pero mabibilang ko lang ang mga babae. Nagulat ako nang mapansing may limang naglakihang mga aso. They are growling and looking at me as if I am their prey.

There are also four people on the corner: two males and two females. My forehead furrowed. The four of them were muttering words I couldn't understand.

"I have a question, Caelestis." Napatingin ako kay Kiara nang bigla siyang magsalita. "Kilala mo ba talaga si Rory?"

Bumagsak kaagad ang mata ko sa lupa nang marinig ko ang tanong niya. Tila parang napipi ako bigla dahil doon. I gritted my teeth in anger when I heard her laughed sarcastically and insultingly. Hindi ko man buong kilala si Ry, pero isa lang ang alam ko, mabait siyang tao.

Tinignan ko nang masama si Kiara. But she just mocked me and laugh. Hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling ang confidence ko. However, I just felt that I should stand for my friends. If Kiara truly that insane for Rory, bakit kailangan pa niyang manakit ng ibang tao para lang makuha ang gusto niya?

That doesn't makes sense. Unless kung desperada siyang makuha si Rory. Pero bakit kailangan pa niyang kunin ito kung alam naman niyang lumalapit naman sa kaniya?

Nakita kong tumayo sa pagkakaupo si Kiara. "Your eyes says I have feelings for Rory, am I right?" I didn't responded. Tumawa siya na parang nandidiri. "How stupid of you to think that way?" may diin niyang tanong.

Habang ako naman ay napakuyom ng kamao dahil sa tinawag niya sa akin.

"Huwag mong ibato sa akin 'yan, Kai," she said with worried on her eyes. Dahilan para kumunot ang aking noo. "It is you who have a feelings for him." My eyes grew wider after hearing what she said.

I have feelings for Ry? Absolutely not!

"Hmm," she hummed. "Alam ko na kung ano ang susunod mong itanong, Kai. I'll tell you." She smiled devilishly.

Nag-stretch pa siya bago magsalita ulit. Si Akihiro naman ay may ginagawa. Gumagawa siya ng mga wood stake na hindi ko alam kung para saan. Nawala ulit ang aking atensyon kay Akihiro nang i-angat ni Kiara ang ulo ko gamit ang hintuturo niya. Sumalubong sa akin ang nanlilisik niyang mata.
