World Apocalypse: One of Them

Chapter 9: Distant

Xyrine's POV

It's been a month when I decided to be alone again.

I know all of you are curious why I choose to be far away from them.

When I finally taste a blood of a human, I'm having a hard time to resist this thirst. I look like a vampire though I'm not. I'm still breathing and my heart still beating.

Nalaman ko lang ito ng bumalik ako sa safehouse. Yeah! You read it right! Nakauwi pa ako doon ngunit may isang pangyayaring napagdesisyonan kong magpakalayo layo na lamang.

I was climbing the stair to reach the rooftop but I stop midway when I smell that intoxicating fragrant that is hard to resist.

I suddenly feel my eyes started to change its color and my body moves on its own.

I found myself pinning a child and snarling to it like a mad dog. Ready to bite when I heard a whimper.

I come back to my senses.

I was horrified to what I've done. This isn't me. If I didn't stop myself, I may be feasting his blood right now.

I took a step back that time. I look at him and guilt strike me big time.

I still remember how frightened he was while staring at me. It's lingering in my mind until now.

I feel sorry for Kurt because of the horrible things that I do to him.

I feel like a monster.

I promise to myself that I will save life but I was the one that bring danger to them.

I heard footsteps that heading towards this room.

I quickly run and jump into the nearest broken window which I assume where I get in. I decided to leave.

If leaving them is the only way, I will do it without hesitation.

The important for me right now is to make them sure that they were safe.

Helping them from a distance and saving them from a monster like me.

I'm currently doing a food run. Getting all the food that they need especially milk for Baby Carly.

Oh! How I miss this bike.
I get it when I'm running away from the safehouse.

I'm free to roam around that human can't do. It is a big advantage for me to easily get what I wanted and what I needed.

Bitbit ang dalawang naglalakihang bag ay tinalunton ko na ang daan papuntang safehouse. Kada linggo ko ginagawa ito, ang magdala ng mga pagkain sa kanila.

It's past 10 pm, siguro tulog na ang lahat ng naroroon. Dahan dahan kong binuksan ang gate at sinigurong walang ingay na maririnig.

Iniwan ko lang ito sa gilid ng hagdan para madali nilang makita.

Papaalis na ako nang maramdaman kong may nakatingin sa akin.

I saw Stacy looking down at me from the rooftop. Alam kong pupuntahan niya ako kaya tumakbo ako ng mabilis para hindi niya ako maabotan.

Hanggang ngayon guilty parin ako sa nangyari kay Kurt. Wala akong mukhang maihaharap sa kanila baka pagnagkataon ay barilin nila ako ng hindi ko alam.

Nagtago ako sa itaas ng puno kaya hindi niya ako makita. Tama nga ako, hahabulin ako ni Stacy para patayin dahil sa ginawa ko sa kanyang kapatid.

Call me whatever you want.

Duwag o ano pa man, natatakot lang akong husgahan at sisihin ng iba kaya umiiwas nalang ako para hindi na lumala pa ang sitwasyon.
