Bitten By His Fangs

Chapter 5 - Xander Magnus Belmont

Xander Magnus Belmont

"How many minutes left?" tanong ko kay Vishnu.

"An hour," sagot niya, ang tingin ay nakay Magnus.

The real Magnus.

He had white medium length hair. Kung hindi puti ang buhok niya ay hindi makikita ang kaibahan ng facial features niya sa lalaki kanina.

"Remind me when it's almost time, I'll recast the spell."

He nodded.

"What have you found?" tanong ni Magnus sa lalaki.

Umiling siya, "Nothing special, two immortals, a girl and a boy," he looked at him, "The girl was the daughter of the late Moon Goddess, Elysia."

They know my mother...

I saw Magnus' fist clenched, "Where are they?"

Bahagyang nagulat ang lalaki at tinitigan siya, "They're in the-"

Hindi niya na naituloy ang sasabihin nang lumiwanag nang husto ang buwan. The three of them are shapeshifting.

Their eyes went red, their fangs are now more visible and wild. Their wings have spread and it almost covered the entire living room.

I looked at them carefully, they're not speaking. Their eyes were gazing from one place to another. Para silang hindi mapakali.

So this is how it looks like...

The place went chaotic nang biglang ihagis ni Magnus ang malaking sofa na inuupuan lang nila kanina. Tumalsik iyon malapit sa pinto ng isang kwarto. Ang lalaki ay binasag ang mga bintana, pieces of glass went everywhere. The girl went inside the kitchen at paglabas niya ay dala na ang apat na kutsilyo. Isa isa niya iyong hinagis sa pader. All the knives went through the wall. It even formed a perfect square.

Now I'm starting to see the reason why they were kept here. One move from them during a full moon can lead to a mortal's death.

Half an hour has passed and they started to calm down. They started having control to their bodies.

Nilibot nila ng tingin ang lugar at mukhang hindi na sila nagulat.

"So, where are they?" Magnus resumed the talk as if nothing happened.

"In your residence," sumagot ang lalaki.

"Did you lay a finger on her?"

"No, I dare not," sagot ng lalaki.

Things don't really make sense here.

Tumango si Magnus.

Silence surrounded them for a while kaya napatingin ako kay Vishnu, "How many minutes left?"

"20 minutes."

Nang binalik ko ang tingin sa kanila ay nakasalubong ko ng tingin si Magnus.

But we're invisible!

Umiwas ako. I tried not looking at him for a while pero hindi niya inaalis ang tingin sa gawi ko.

Does he see me?

"Darius, Eris, take some rest for a while," siya pa rin habang ang tingin ay nasa gawi pa rin namin ni Vishnu.

Tumango naman silang dalawa saka pumunta sa isang kwartong nasa kanan ng living room.

"10 minutes, Iliana."

I looked at him again at unti-unti siyang lumalapit sa pwesto namin. He's walking towards us slowly, na parang alam na alam niya kung nasaan kami.
