The Untold Story Of Vladimir's Grandsons (Republished)

⚫11 : Saving Your Highness⚫

Cloud's POV

Ang gulat nilang mukha ang sumalubong sa'kin nang iluwa ako ng portal except for the three boys na mataman lamang nakatingin sa'kin at sa babaeng buhat ko na ngayon ay nanginginig at sobra ng putla.

She's near to being lifeless.

Agad akong dumiretso sa kwarto ko at doon inilapag siya sa malaming kama. Nakasunod lamang sila sa'kin.

"God! What happened to her?" naghihisteryang tanong ni Shanayah.

Nagtangka siyang lumapit pero pinigilan siya ni Storm.

"She was bitten a few minutes ago"

Storm was in deep thought habang ang dalawa ay hindi pa rin nakakabawi sa kondisyon simula noong nangyari kanina. Pinilit kong wag marinig ang mga sinasabi ni Aynsley para i-comfort si King habang si Julienne naman ay nakikipagtalo sa matigas ang ulo na si Stark. Maybe that's her way to calm him down.

"Tell me you're not gonna do it" Storm looked at as if he knew what's going on my mind.

"I'll suck it"

Sabay sabay silang napatingin sa'kin. Bakas sa mga mukha nila ang pagtutol sa sinabi ko.

"No! May iba pang paraan!" Halos pasigaw ni King.

"You know how dangerous it is for you especially for her" kunot noong saad ni Stark.

Umigting ang panga ko. Habang tumatagal ay lalo lang lumalala ang lagay ni Cleo.

"Walang gagawa 'nun kundi isa lang sa'ting tatlo so stop and let me dahil wala namang magpepresinta sa inyo. Dinala ko siya dito kaya ako ang gagawa" kontra ko.

Nagtitigan kaming tatlo. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang tensyon sa pagitan namin. We were fighting mind to mind. Basang basa ko ang lahat ng nasa isip nila at lahat nang 'yon ay iisa lang ang sinasabi.

"That's the only way! Just let me okay?" Sabi ko sa pagod na boses.

"I'll block the door" Storm sighed and surrender. He looked at the two na medyo kumakalma na, "I need you two to lock yourselves in your room 'til Cloud finished it"

It's too risky to do it right now but we have no choice. She will die kung hindi ko gagawin ang dapat na gawin.

They all turn their back. Hindi na nakisawsaw pa ang mga babae sa usapan dahil siguro nakahalata silang  hindi lang ga'nun kaseryoso ang sitwasyon na kinalalagyan namin.

"I'll get a little carried away but after that I'll be fine so go" tipid na tango lang ang ibinigay ko sa kanila bago sila tuluyang makalabas ng kwarto ko.

Hinintay kong tumunog ang lock ng pinto para makasiguro akong walang basta basta makakapasok.

Honestly I am nervous and hesitant sa naiisip kong but like what I've said wala kaming ibang choice.

I stared at Cleo na madiin na nakapikit ang mga mata. Nagtatagis ang mga ngipin dahil sa panginginig ng katawan niya. Unti unting nagkakaroon ng itim na ugat sa pagitan ng kagat niya sa leeg.

All I need to do is to suck the venom out of her hanggang sa malinis dugo niya. I might drain her a little dahil sigurado akong mahihirapan akong pigilan ang sarili kong tumigil dahil dugo niya pa rin naman ang malalasahan ko after all. My body can take any kind of venom dahil sa dugong nananalaytay sa ugat ko. We could take all poisonous stuff and such. Hindi kami ga'nun kadaling mamatay unless it is Vladimir who will kill us. He was root of this blood but he may also be the end of it.

I sat beside her at inalalayan siyang sumandal sa headboard.

She's close to dying.

Tagaktak ang pawis sa noo at leeg niya. Napalitan ng maputlang kulay ang malakamatis niyang pisngi ga'nun din sa labi.

"You owe me big time Your Highness" Bulong ko habang nakatitig sa kanya before my lips touches her already cold skin.

She froze when she felt my fangs inside her flesh. I am lost the moment I tasted her blood. My grip tightens onto her waist as if crashing her. Bigla siyang napakapit sa braso ko. She was squeezing it hard. Habang tumatagal ay lalo akong nawawalan ng kakayahan na tumigil.

"Cloud!" Rinig ko mula sa labas ang nagbabantang boses ni Storm.

He's fighting it too. I could hear all the frustrated groans and heavy breathing escaping through Stark and King's mouth. It can be smell all over the place lalo na ngayon na may kagat pa siya.

Shanayah, Julienne and Aynsley heartbeats are in sync as if it is about jump out of their body. Tanging kaming apat lamang ang nakakarinig 'nun.

This is not the time to stop. Mabilis kumalat ang venom sa katawan niya na mas delikado. Tama nga si Storm, maaubos ko ang dugo niya kung sakali.

"Tell him to stop!" I heard King's hard breathing. He was sitting at the corner of his room.

"I'm close to breaking his room if he don't stop" Stark was clutching on his knees.

I know, I hear and I can see them in my mind. I know they're trying their best no to be affected.

"Cloud.." She called.

Not yet, Cleo. Not yet.

"S-stop.."

I can't.

I carried her onto my lap without realizing and pulling. She's trying to push me with the remaining strength she has.

I'm not in the right mind to tell myself what to do.

"That's enough, Cloud!"

With that, I just felt my back hit landed on a hard wall.

I saw storm standing infront of me with his sharp fangs. He look so mad, even his gray orbs are.

"You're insane" he's hiding Cleo behind him.

She look so helpless and I blame myself for that.

Pinunasan ko ang dugo sa gilid ng aking labi at umayos ng pagkakatayo. Hindi ako nagsalita. I jumped out of my window and run through the forest dahil kung hindi ako aalis ngayon sa kwartong 'yon malamang ay magkatotoo ang sinabi ni Storm.

I stayed at the dark place for awhile. Pinapalipas ko muna ang nangyari kanina. Alam ko namang kaya nila ng wala muna ako doon. Ngayon lang nangyari ang ganitong bagay and that's my first time to save a life of someone not close to me.

While I'm in the middle of my deep thoughts, two things registered in my mind.

Why did I saved her?

Why do I feel worried?

And I wanted to wipe off the smirk on their faces.

Those three are grinning their a** off right now.

They're loving what they've just read on my mind.
