"Aaron! Asan yung switchblade ko?!" Sigaw ni Ate Seyah mula sa kwarto niya.

Tinignan ko naman si Aaron na nasa gilid ko nakaupo at umiinom ng dugo. Nakita ko siyang napatingin sa taas at parang may inisip.

Nag-iisip to kung siya ba nagkuha. 'Tong mokong na to talaga.

Kunin mo na lahat ng gamit sa mundo wag lang gamit na pagmamay-ari ni Ate Seyah.

One time Hash took Ate Seyah's cargo pants from our lockers in HQ just to be destroyed in an experiment for his class. Ewan ko kung anong experiment iyon basta ang alam ko gago yung pinsan ko.

"Wala akong alam diyan!" Sigaw pabalik ni Aaron.

"Are you sure?!" Sigaw naman pabalik ni Ate Seyah.

Napailing nalang ako. Hahaluglugin niya ang buong bahay.

Napatayo naman ako at pumunta sa labas. I looked over the sight where I found myself in my first vision.

Wait!

There's a library here in Crym and even in the agency. Maybe there are stories there from two hundred years ago and maybe I'll find some folklore with Astro or Kalista.

What happened yeaterday was... passive.

I haven't told Lolo or Ate Navi about me being able to summon little fires on my fingers. The ones who witnessed yesterday thought it was that old grumpy vamp's doing.

I wonder where he is now by the way. Nakaka-stress kaya sa pangil yung iambush lang bigla.

As I got to the library I see few people. I greeted the nice Werewolf librarian with her little cute pup helping her. Dumiretso ako sa folklore aisle at nagsimulang mag-scan ng book titles.

"Come on, Luyi." Napatingin ako sa kabilang aisle at nakitang may teenagers.

"Like I said Bo 'not now'." The girl said.

I rolled my eyes. It's those horny teenage scenes. I continued scanning the titles when a book cover caught my eye.

Well, my nose rather.

It smells like blood. I felt my eyes changing as I try to identify what kind of blood was it. There's a hint of wolf blood, human blood, a little blood of a noble and old vampire and a blood of something of old and different.

I took the book and read the title. 'The book of Vladimir.'

Vladimir?

As I open it the pages were blank and only the first page had a writing.

'Καθώς διαβάζετε αυτό το βιβλίο μου...'

It's another language.

Wonder if I could borrow this book from the library.

As I make my way towards the librarian's desk I kept looking down at it. I flipped the book to see if there are some writing in the back

"Dated 19th of June, 1786."

I continued my way when someone patted on my shoulder. And as I turn around I see none other than Armiella Margarita Oliveros. Ugh, do I even have to say her whole fucking name?

And she's human.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Are you the girl that was hanging around with my boyfriend?" She asked me.
