Vampire University

Chapter 19: A Wolf's Instinct

Allysa's POV

Bilang host ng Vampire King, parang proud pa siya sa sinabi niya. Ok lang sa kaniya na sinisipsip ng isang bampira ang dugo niya?

"I colored my hair white in honor of the Vampire King", she said as she played her hair with her fingers.

I clenched my fists. "My friend got abducted by a vampire, we've been attacked many times, ilang beses na naming tinakasan ang kamatayan, and there you are, proud na maging isang vampires host?"

Her face suddenly became serious. "Any bad actions done to humans is prohibited by the Vampire King"

I raised my eyebrow. "Including sucking your blood dry?"

She just smiled and continued walking. That's obviously a fake smile. She tried to stay calm but her clenched fists says it all.

One thing for sure, this girl knew a lot more than us regarding the university. Baka makatulong siya sa akin sa paghahanap kay Cheska.

"T-Teka lang-"

She stopped on her tracks. Napabuntong hininga ako bago magsalita.

"Ang kaibigan kong si Chesk-

"Is abducted and is now inside the castle of Vampire Lord Magnus, probably playing solitaire with a parrot"

My eyes widened. Halos parehas ng pakiramdam ko noong una kong nakita ang Vampire King. Paano niya nalaman iyon? But for me it sounded like a joke.

"Tulungan mo ako. Kailangan kong mahanap si Chesk-

"It's not Lord Magnus' fault. Your friend willingly made herself his slave". Paliwanag niya. Idiniin pa talaga ang pagsabi sa word na 'willingly'.

Napafacepalm ako, kung gwapo yung vampire, siguradong totoo to. 

Pero di ako pwedeng makampante. Hindi lahat ng bampira ay mabait. Paano kung katulad siya ni Ramzes? Paano kung ginagamit lang siya saka papatayin sa huli? 

"Paano mo nalaman?", I asked curiously.

"The Vampire King tells me anything he knew around the university. And as a SSG president, I help him with the decisions all around the school. He's technically our Principal after all. I'm the one who made him punish Ramzes for trying to abduct you"

"If you knew everything, nasaan kayo nung inubos ang dugo ni Cheska? Nung inatake kami sa dorm?! Ganyan na ba kapabaya ang Vampire Ki-"

As soon as I mentioned the Vampire King again, she looked at me angrily and suddenly twisted my hand and pinned me to the tree. 

"Vampire King's ability is not 'I-knew-it-all' ability. If he knows everything, he already saved you in a second. You don't know the sacrifices he did for humans"

Agad niya akong binitawan. Huminga ako ng malalim sa ginawa niya.

"One day, you'll understand why. The Vampire King saved the world once, Allysa"

Napatigil ako sa sinabi niya. Pero di ko siya pinansin at agad na nagpatuloy sa aking paglalakad, leaving her behind. Wala akong oras para makipagtalo sa kaniya.

After a while,  napunta ako sa parte ng gubat na may mga malalaking mga giant taro plants. Sa isang dahon ay may parang bilog na kumikinang. Isang golden orb!

Agad ko itong kinuha. Totoo nga ito. Matigas at kumikinang ng napakalakas. Agad akong kumuha ng isang dahon at itinago ito. Kahit malayo ay makikita ang liwanag nito. But one thing made me curious, golden orbs are supposed to be hidden, right?

Agad akong napaduko ng may marining akong mga yapak ng paa na palapit sa akin. Papunta sila sa direksyon ko.

"Sigurado ka bang dito mo nahulog ang golden orb?"
