The Last Bloodsucker ✔

Chapter 16

I'm done taking a half bath, and when I went down, I saw Mara in front of the sink washing her bloody hand.

"You killed.."

"Yes. I killed him. Someone is after you, Evie."- she stated without blinking.

Normal nalang talaga sa kanya ang pumatay.

Nakasandal lamang ako sa kitchen counter at naka cross ang mga braso habang nakatingin sa kanya na nagpupunas na ng kamay.

She faces me and leans on the sink.

"Another vampire?"

"It was a converted one. I'm still figuring out who made that one. Because as far as I can remember, I am the last bloodsucker left in our clan."

I heaved a sigh and straightened up my body.

"I will cook my dinner now. You're done with your business here, so leave now."- I said, changing the topic my mind didn't want to accept.

Hindi ko na kasi maintindihan. Bakit ako? Bakit sa akin sila nalapit? What's in me being a Hemlock child?!

Lumaki kasi ako na hindi manlang nakwento ng mga magulang ko kung ano at saan nagmula ang mga ninuno namin. Basta may rules sila sa bahay na sobrang makaluma na hindi ko naman masyadong inintindi kasi ayaw kong lumaking weirdo.

I admit I broke the rules, especially when I left our ancestral home to chase my dream. And that is to become a doctor instead of a hunter of something I don't know.

"You can cook now, but I'm not leaving."- Mara said before disappearing to the living area.

Nagsimula na akong magluto. Gusto ko nga sana dagdagan pero naalala ko hindi naman tao ang kasama ko. Pero bilang makatao, sinubukan ko pa din syang yayain at iyon nga tumanggi lang sya.

Tahimik naman ang buong paligid hanggang sa matapos ako kumain.

Paglabas ko ng kusina nakita ko sya na prenteng nakahiga sa long couch ko sa living area.

"Are you seriously going to stay here?"

"Just pretend I didn't steal something from you."- she muttered.

"I can't take my blood back, Mara. Now answer my question."

"You're a psych major. You should know by now what my answer to your question is."

I heaved a sigh and combed my hair. I'm calming myself because I don't want to be frustrated over a pointless conversation.

"Fine. Suit yourself. I'll go up now."- I muttered, turning my back on her.

Pumanhik na ako sa taas at pumasok na sa kwarto ko. Yung bintana nalang ang nilock ko at binaba ko din ang kurtina. Hindi ko na nilock ang pinto basta sinarado ko lang bago ako nahiga.

Inabot ko muna ang phone ko sa bedside table para tignan kung may message si Paul.

Napangit naman ako dahil meron nga. Reminding me to eat my dinner and get a proper rest.

He's the sweetest.

Paul is different from any other guy. Even though we've been together for almost 3 years, he's never cheated on me.

I know I'm still not giving everything to him and that he has needs I can't meet, but he still chose to stay with me until now.

Kung lolokohin man nya ako at sasabihin nyang hindi na nya ako mahal, hahayaan ko syang umalis. I won't beg for someone to stay, especially a cheater. I am a doctor; I can live alone, and I can survive on my own.
