"Coexistence"

19th Century
[ January 1, 1801 - December 31, 1900 ]

Umarko ang kilay ni Zachariah sa matinding pagtataka. Pagtataka sa sinabi ng binata na bigla na lamang na sumulpot at umakap sa kaniyang baiwang.

Zachariah quickly pushed him away para magkaroon ng sapat na distansya sa pagitan nila. The man gave in ngunit pinanatili niya ang mga kamay sa pader upang manatali sa pagitan niya at ng pader ang pulahang buhok na dilag.

The man giggled. But Zachariah quickly look at the direction kung saan niya huling namataan ang grupo ng hinihinala niyang mga bampira. She saw none but an empty dark street. She assumed right away na nakaalis na ang mga iyon but a question in her head is playing. Bakit hindi sila nito inatake kung mga bampira nga iyon? Hindi kaya mga tao lamang iyon?

"Who are you?" She set aside her thoughts and quickly look at the man who's standing right next to her.

"Sino ka?" Pag-ulit na tanong niya ng hindi sumagot ang ginoo.

"ehe. I'm just a passerby, actually.... I'm hiding from someone...." The man said like he was obviously acting shy.

Zachariah can't help herself but raise a brow.

"Sorry for suddenly hugging you. I just want a way out of their sight." He explained to the girl na mayroon ng mga mapanghusgang tingin sa kaniya.

He move his eyes and travel Zachariah's body. Completely scanning her without warning.

"You're the same guy on the woods." Zachariah commented after having a good look at the man. I her head, hinihinala niya na ang mga namataan niyang grupo kanina ay maaari ang mga tao na tinutukoy ng ginoo na kaniyang kasama. 'That makes sense' she whispered the back of her head.

"Maybe destiny did led us to." Bulong ng ginoo na sadyang hindi ipinarinig sa dilag.

Zachariah on the other hand was able to see the movement of his lips, she is certain that the man said something, pero hindi niya alam kung ano iyon dahil sa bukod sa madilim ay hindi niya itong nabasa maigi.

"Ginoo, delikado rito sa labas. I highly recommend that you go home and keep the doors close." Zachariah said.

"If it's dangerous, then why is a lady here at night?" He asked.
