HOWLINGS AND SHADOWS (Thindrel Howzit Hawthorne)

Thindrel Howzit Hawthorne

I don't know what gotten to my father's mind. He enrolled me in school in this town which I don't understand.

I don't need to go to school. I know everything. I can even teach those professor the things they don't even know.

"You want this life? Then live like a human", sabi niya sa akin pagkalabas niya ng sasakyan.

He processed all the papers I need. Do they go to school before? I wonder. Did dad go to school? Oh! He live like a cave man before so the answer must be no.

Pinapanood ko ang bawat taong naglalakad kahit saang direksyon. Some of them are my age. Be it by group, pairs and single.

Nagtaas ako ng kilay at lumabas ng sasakyan ngunit hindi na ako lumayo pa. I get out and lean on my dad's car. Nakahalukipkip ako at isa-isang tiningnan ang mga taong naglalakad.

Some of the girls will look my way with shy laughs and some waves at me shamelessly. Some tried to talk to me but was taken a back when I heard dad called me.

"Thindrel!", he said.

I was completely annoyed. It's not like those girls are my type. But I want to flirt with them and maybe bed them.

Pairap akong lumingon sa kanya.

"It's done. Your first day is next week", aniya sa akin at napatingin din sa paligid.

And right now. Those girls are obviously into my dad right now.

Halos matawa ako. Back off bitches. He's three to four hundred years old. Pretty much older than all of you and even your grandparents.

But to our advantage. Vampires don't age. The Originals never aged either. I saw them in pictures recently. Just the three brothers and they don't age a bit even though they're thousand years already. Does vampire die when they're very old? I don't know.

Hinatid ako ni papa sa apartment ko. Pagdating namin doon ay may nakaparadang tesla sa harapan ng building.

"Whose car is that?", I asked. It's not there earlier and it's too flashy. Not that it's my type of a car but hell it worth a fortune.

"Yours?", patanong pa na sabi ni papa.  
He throw me the car keys na kaagad kong sinalo.

"I shouldn't have given you cars but your mom would kill me if I'll let you walk from here to school. So....", nilahad niya ang sasakayan.

"Can I make a request? Can I have Lamborghini or Rolls Royce instead?", I eyed my father.

Mas matalim pa ang tingin niya sa akin. "I might replace it with old honda", sabi niya bago umikot sa sasakyan at pumasok na. Binaba niya naman ang bintana para kausapin ako bago siya aalis.

"Just do as I say. We'll not be contacting you for the rest of the year and be independent like what you've asked. Take care, son", sabi niya bago pinaharurot ang sasakyan para makauwi na.

I'm not lonely. I don't feel lonely at all. The place is new and it's very relaxing. Hindi kagaya sa palasyo namin na sa sobrang laki ni kahit marami kaming chupacabra ay parang ako lang din naman ang nakatira.

I enter to my tesla and drive around the town for an hour. Dad already deposit a fortune in my pocket. In fact, he wants me to work and earn my keep but mom wants to fund me and not left me without money. And he'll do as what she tells him to do. I love my mom. I love dad too.

For a week. The town made me feel different. I feel like I'm human too. Pero hindi ko parin makakaligtaan ang mga bagay na nakasanayan.

I bring girls to my room. Fuck them and drink their blood. Heal them and throw them out. Hindi pa rin naman ako nagbago. Ang tanging nawala lang ay ang title ko. I'm the King of Moldovia. But right now. I'm just a normal citizen. Well, that's fine. I still feel superior.

And finally, its my first day in school. I have no idea what to do but I only follow the instructions. Sa unang klase ay sa laboratory kami.

Halos mabaliw ako para hanapin ang laboratory. High school sucks. Why do I have to attend school in the first place?

When I found the room. Mabilis akong pumasok doon at halos lahat ng estudyante ay napapalingon sa akin. Whoa! I know I'm handsome but don't give me those kind of stares.

May nakita akong iilang familiar na mga mukha na nakita ko noong enrollment. I sat far away from them in the corner and created my own world.

Hindi ko yata makayanan ang ganito. I'm so bored even though there are too many people around who wants to talk. Imbis na kausapin ang mga naroon ay tinawagan ko sa face time si Dwayne.

Hindi pa sumagot. Probably one of his busy days. Did he found his mate yet? I don't want him to find his first before I can find mine. Ayaw kong mahuli sa kanila. Though, they're pretty much older than me but I want us to be even with things and title.

"Hey! You're new, right?", malambing na boses ng isang babae ang aking narinig.

She's pretty without her goth make up and plenty of earings.

"You've noticed?", I asked and winks at her. Oh! She can be my toy.

"Yeah", sabi niya sabay hagod sa aking balikat. May sasabihin pa sana siya ngunit pumasok na ang siguro ay professor namin para sa subject na ito.

"By the way, talk to you later....", she lower herself and I can literally see the thing she's hiding in her bra. "....bye...".

Ngumisi ako sa kanya. Not interested with her but she can be my toy. The smell of her blood excites me and makes me kind of thirsty.
