The Vampire King's Favorite

Chapter 15

Hours passed. I'm standing in my place for more than five hours already, but I won't get tired. I can't get tired.

Agad na napaayos ako ng tayo nang makitang isa-isa nang nagsisidatingan ang mga estudyante rito sa gate para umuwi. I kept my place beside the gate and watched everybody pass by.

Mariin kong tinitignan ang mukha ng bawat dumaraan, pero wala pa siya. Wala pa sila.

Unti-unti akong kinabahan nang magsimulang kumonti ang mga tao pero hindi ko pa rin nakikitang lumabas si Lucy... At si Sam.

Hindi ko maiwasang mag-isip ng masama. I can't even imagine what can be happening to them right now. Malakas ang kabog ng dibdib ko pero naghintay pa ako ng ilang minuto. Kinakabahan ako.

Right when I was about to leave my place, nakita ko ang team namin na papalabas. Agad na lumapit ako at hinarang ang isa sakanila.

"Hi. Have you seen Samantha?" Mabilis na tanong ko.

"Yeah. She left with a girl earlier. Said they would talk." Sambit niya na agad kong ikinatango.

I bid her a thank you at agad nang nagtatakbo pabalik sa loob. Being a werewolf is not that bad. I run faster than humans.

The grounds were already deserted. But I know... Somewhere here, Sam and Lucy is still talking. Or maybe even...

Agad na iniling ko ang ulo ko para mawala ang masamang iniisip ko. I hurriedly went to the volleyball court, but no one was there. The campus is too wide at wala akong masyadong oras para halughugin ang bawat sulok. I have to find them immediately.

Agad namang napatigil ako nang may marinig na kaluskos sa hindi kalayuan. I am now infront of the HRM building when I heard some clapping sound... Or was it really a clap?

Mabilis na napakilos ako at sinundan ang tunog. It led me to the back of the building and I saw the scene that I never wanted to see.

I stopped on my track. Nanigas ako sa kinatatayuan ko at biglang bumigat ang paghinga ko. This... This can't be.

"Samantha!" Sigaw ko sa pangalan niya.

Agad naman siyang lumingon saakin at nakita ko ang pagbagsak ni Lucy sa lupa. Napasinghap ako nang makita ang bakas ng dugo sa labi ni Samantha.

She looked shocked. But I should be the one who's shocked here.

Agad na tumakbo ako papalapit sakanila at agad na dinaluhan si Lucy. She was crying while holding her bleeding neck. Agad na nakita ko ang dalawang sugat doon.

"T-theia..."

Napatingin ako kay Sam. Napailing ako sakanya bago ko inakay sa pagtayo si Lucy. She tried to hold my arm, but I avoided her touch.

She looked hurt... Pero mas nasasaktan ako.

She may be a vampire... But I never expected her to be like this. She doesn't have the rightt to bite someone just because she wanted to. She doesn't have the rights to cause pain to anyone just to sustain herself.

"I-it's not what you t---"

Hindi ko na siya pinakinggan pa at mabilis ko na siyang tinalikuran habang akay-akay si Lucy. My strength is a big help when it comes to this kind of situation. Naging mabilis ang pag-alalay ko sakanya.

"Hold on, Lucy." Pagkausap ko sakanya.

Nakaramdam naman ako ng kamay sa braso ko na agad kong pinalis. I glared at Samantha at nakita ko siyang napahakbang paatras. I don't want to do this... But I need to.

"Just... Stay away."

At tuluyan na kaming nakalayo sakanya. I immediately guided her to the parking lot and I saw the vampire patiently waiting there.
