Tumila na ang ulan. He is now carrying me in a piggy back ride dahil masakit ang binti ko na medyo napuruhan, i think it has a big bruise...

Tahimik lang kaming pareho habang pabalik na sa campsite..

Sobrang dilim, at wala akong maaninag na kung ano sa daan but him, nakakahanga lang at parang wala lang sa kaniya ang dinaraanan...

"Uhm, ano.. Bat di ka natatapilok?"

His body stiffed, at bigla siyang natawa. Bigla akong nahiya sa tinanong ko, napakagaling na tanong Athena...

"Because I can see the path, that's why I can walk freely...."

"Eh ang dilim, seryoso? nakikita mo dinaraanan mo?"

"Oo nga, kulit....."

Nagtagalog na naman siya!

"I trained myself to see in the dark...."

I nodded at mas niyapos ang leeg niya dahil sa lamig..

"You're really are a vampire...." I chuckled.

"And why?" he shortly asked.

"Maliban sa napakapale ng skin mo, nakakakita ka pa sa dilim. Vampires were described as that...."

"So it means, that I'm a monster...."

"Yeah, you are...." i smugged.

Oo halimaw siya, sobrang nakakatakot niyang magalit, mala halimaw...

A faint light coming from the campsite reach us ng huminto sya sa paglalakad, I can see his face now na malapit sa akin..

"Vampires are monsters that only exist on myths...."

Napatitig lamang ako sa napakagwapo nitong mukha habang seryosong seryoso siyang nagsasalita..

"In the world of humanity, killers are classified as monsters, and I am one of them...."

Hindi ko alam kung bakit bigla akong nalungkot. His tone is quite sad..

"B-but, you kill because you have a reason, right? Is that classified as a monster?"

I felt his body stiffed, natahimik siya ng ilang segundo. Mukhang nag-iisip ito ng maisasagot.

After some seconds, he tilted his head and looked at me from behind him.

"I killed tons of people, and I don't know if they're all deserve to die or some of them were just innocent...."

That's my time too to be silent. Hindi ko alam kung anong maisasagot ko dahil hindi ko naman alam ang lahat sa kaniya. I feel a bit guilty...

Noong una ko pa lang siyang nakilala, I judged him as a really awful person na hindi dapat lapitan o makadaupang palad, then I realized why because he is a heir of a mafia group, ngayon ko napagtanto na may dahilan ang isang tao to act as what he is right now....

"I'm a monster, and that's already showed off...."

Nag-iba ang tono ng pananalita nya and I know he's wearing his smirk as he said that, anong ikakayabang nun para sa kaniya?

"Mukhang proud ka pa talaga na sabihin yan...." i rolled my eyes.

"Atleast, I'm not hideous...." pakikipagtalo nito.

"Anong hideous ka dyan? So may pretender, ganun?"

He chuckled and sheemmmssss, it's a sweet music in my ears...
