HINDI maintindihan ni Celeste kung ano ba ang nagpapagulo sa isip at puso niya, all she know that she's not suppose to feel this way.

It's very dangerous...

"What's dangerous?"

Biglang napalingon si Celeste sa likuran niya ng marinig niya ang boses ni Luther. Narito parin sila sa bahay ng mga magulang ng binata.

"I-its nothing." Ani niya.

"Come on you don't have to worry, we are safe in here." Ani ni Luther.

Is it just her? But Luther seems so soft and she's not used to it. She knew Luther as harsh and arrogant person.

"I know but that's not what I'm thinking." Ani ni Celeste tsaka nag iwas ng tingin kay Luther. Mag sasalita pa sana si Luther ng biglang tumunog ang cellphone niya.

"Excuse me." Ani niya na tinanguan naman ni Celeste.

Napatingin naman si Celeste sa binigay sakanya ng mayordoma sa mansyon ni Luther.

Will I ever got the chance to see Luther's face?

Napangiti naman kaagad si Celeste ng biglang pumasok sa isip niya 'yon. "Siguro ay gwapo siya? Boses pa lang kasi niya ang gwapo ng pakinggan." Nakangiti niyang sabi.

"Celeste." Napalingon siya sa likod niya ng marinig niya ang boses ng ina ni Luther. "May I talk to you?" Tanong niya.

"Sige po." Sagot naman ni Celeste.

Sumunod lang siya sa ina niya at dinala siya nito sa living area ng bahay nito.

"I would like to know everything about you." Nakangiting sabi nito. "What's interesting is your prosopagnosia." Ani pa ng ginang.

"Bakit naman po? For me there's nothing interesting about my prosopagnosia." Ani ni Celeste.

"I just remember someone, they also have prosopagnosia." Ani ng ginang na nagpabigla kay Celeste.

"Really? Who are they?" Tanong niya.

"Lazaro clan, our alliance before will never be forgotten." Nakangiting sabi ng ginang.

Biglang tumibok ng mabilis ang puso niya ng marinig niya ang Lazaro's clan.

"My son Luther was once bethrothed to their one and only daughter." Ani ng ginang.

"W-what?! How?" Takang tanong niya.

"But the sad thing is Luther can't remember anything from his past." Malungkot na sabi ng ginang.

"Why can't he remember anything from his past?" Takang tanong ni Celeste.

"After the war... He uses his mind ability to save the girl that hebwas about to get married but he was too young that time and our ability have its limit Celeste we can't use it in vigorous way." Ani ng ginang. "It will damage our senses and our abilities." Ani pa niya.

"What will happen then? Is it critical?" Tanong ni Celeste.

"We might lose our ability and losing our ability means we are nothing."

"So, Luther might lose his ability?!" Kinakabahang tanong ni Celeste.

"No dear, fortunately before the war as a gift from the Lazaro' family they transfused five percent of their blood to Luther." Ani ng ina ni Luther.

Hindi maiwasang mamangha ni Celeste dahil sa kinukwento sakanya ng ina ni Luther at sa pagkakataong ito onti unti na rin niyang nalalaman kung ano nga ba ang naging nakaraan ng Elphinestone.

"b-blood? How? I thought vampires don't have blood? And Lazaro's blood are magical and powerful. Right?" Sunod sunod na tanong ni Celeste.

"That's right, their blood has the ability to make vampires a mortal but Luther is not just an ordinary vampire and so do our family. We are able to adapt their blood and become more powerful, we can't be a mortal but we can be powerful." Ani ng ina niya.

"Too much information Elph!" Biglang nagulat ang ginang ng marinig nito ang boses ng asawa niya.

"Alfine, she deserves to know she's part of our family now." Ani ng ginang.

"I guess you are right Elph." Nakangiting sabi ng ama ni Luther.

"Mom, dad."

Bigla namang sumulpot si Luther sa gilid ni Celeste kaya naman nabaling ang atensyon nila sakanya.

"Yes son?" Sagot ng ama niya.

"I'm sorry to say this mom and dad but we have to leave, I have something important to do." Seryosong sabi ni Luther.

"Is it about the-" ani ng ina niya.

"Yes mom, I know what you sre thinking and you're right. I'll call later and explain everything I hope you understand." Ani niya.

"Of course we understand." Ani ng ama niya.

Pagkatapos nilang mag paalam ay kaagad na nagtungo sila sa garahe para sumakay sa dalang kotse ni Luther.

"What's wrong? I thought we are staying here?" Takang tanong ni Celeste.

"What did mom tell you?" Seryosong tanong ni Luther.

Bigla namang nakaramdam ng kaba si Celeste dahil sa tono ng boses ni Luther at sa awra nitong napaka seryoso.

"Ahm... wala-"

"Don't tell a lie Celeste!" Seryoso at may awtoridad ang boses ni Luther ng sabihin niya 'yon.

"She told me the things that happened in the past and to your ex fiance." Ani niya.

"I have to erase your memory." Seryosong sabi ni Luther, bigla siyang hinawakan ni Luther sa kamay pero bigla niya itong hinawi.

"No! Who are you to decide? You can't use your ability to me!" Galit na sabi ni Celeste.

"Its for your own safe Celeste! Just listen to me!" Galit din na sabi ni Luther.

"Everything your mom said is safe to me, please trust me just for once Luther." Ani ni Celeste.

"I can't remember anything Celeste but- but when they find out that I was transfused with the blood of the lazaro's my enemy will come after me. I'm trying not to involve the Lazaro clan in this war." Ani ni Luther.

"Bakit ba gustong gusto nila ang dugo ng mga Lazaro bukod sa makapangyarihan iyon?" Takang tanong ni Celeste.

"You don't know how much power that blood can give you, you can be powerful more than anything that's why they are being hunted... and if they find out that Lazaro is still wandering around then it will be the end of their clan." Malungkot na sabi ni Luther.

"And knowing it is dangerous Celeste especially for you, you don't know how to control your thoughts and there are a lot of vampires that can read your mind not just me." Ani ni Luther.

"Then I forbid them for invading my thoughts, only you can." Nahihiyang sabi ni Celeste na ikinabigla naman ni Luther.

"Celeste..."
