Eye-dentity 3; the fall

Chapter 7

Doubting Decisions

            Dylan tucked Cassandra on the bed after cleaning and drying her body. She's too tired , physically and emotionally, to even open her eyes... but when she felt Dylan rose from his seat beside her.. Her hand automatically moved to stop him..tugging him back to his seat. "Don't leave me, Dylan," she begged, tears starting to form in her eyes.

            "Hindi kita iiwan.. I'll just clean myself tapos babalik na agad ako,"he said as if explaining to a child. But she still cling to him and held him tight but..her hand slipped from his..and he turned away. Leaving her with nothing but pain.

            She curled and hugged onto the pillow tightly... thinking of the things that had happened. Months ago.. naniniwala pa syang may kinabukasan sila ni Dylan.. but now.. kahit konting liwanag..hindi na nya makita.. Sinira na ng tadhana ang buong pagkatao nila. Durog na durog na silang parehas...and still Dylan struggled to fix them together.. Paano pa sila lalaban kung wala na ang anak nila? Paano pa sila mabubuo kung ang sarili na nila ang nasira? Paano pa nila ipaglalaban ang sinisigaw ng puso nila kung nakalatag na sa harap ang tadhana nila?

            Dylan ignored the cold water coming from the shower. His body's numb from everything.. pagod na syang lumaban.. but he wanted and needed to be with Cassandra. He wanted to fight the fate and prove to them na kaya nya.. pero.. paano kung katawan na nya ang sumusuko? Ang isip na nya ang naghahanap ng dahilan para isuko si Cassandra? at unti-unti ng humihina ang sigaw ng puso nya na ilaban pa ang nararamdaman nya? Can he still prove na kaya nya? Can they make it kung unti-unti ng nawawala sa kanya si Cassandra? He hit the wall with his fist and shouted his frustration..

            Cassandra sat on the bed..feeling so miserable. She put her hands on her mouth to keep herself from crying out loud. She wept as she heard Dylan shout from the bathroom. She knew..dapat na silang sumuko.. dapat na nilang itigil ang pagmamahalan nila.. bago pa tuluyang mawala pati ang pagmamahal nila sa isa't-isa..bago pa nila sisihin ang isa't-isa at mauwi ang lahat sa galit.

            And from the window... the moon shine despite the heavy rain. The moonlight poured to her..giving her some strength and wisdom to understand everything. She bath under the light..deciding to choose the path of death...for the vampires sake.

**************************

            2 days has passed..

            2 days pagkatapos ng gabing yon.. naging abala si Dylan sa pag-aasikaso sa mga hunters...naging abala din ang isip nya sa mga dapat nyang gawin...sa maaring mangyari. Nararamdaman na nya ang pagsuko ni Dylan.. she can feel his detachment from their relationship.. she can feel him admitting their defeat..though alam nyang ayaw pa talaga nitong sumuko.

            Lalong lumalaki ang laban ng mga bampira at hunters.. at pati ang mga tao ay unti-unti ng pinapatay ang mga bampira. She has to do something.

            "Regina..you called me." Hades bowed in front of her though she can feel his seething anger.

            "Kamusta ang..ang mga..."

            "Dying and vanishing," he snapped..his eyes glint with anger. She remained silent for a minute...until.. "May sasabihin ka pa bang iba? I am needed by my people at hindi ko sila dapat biguin."

            "I'm sorry.." she tried to reach his hand but he stepped away. "I'm sorry, hades."

            He didn't listen to her..and instead.. turned away and left. She was left empty and weak. Ramdam na nya ang epekto ng hindi pag-inom ng dugo ni Dylan ng ilang linggo.
