Escorting the Vampire Prince

Chapter 7: Dreams and Memories

"TANGINANG THEME YAN!!!" malakas na sigaw ni Phee, pinaalis na namin si Juno.

And she's shouting in the middle of the night. Tinawagan niya nga si Aurelius kung bakit ganon ang theme ng festival ngayon. Ako naman nandidiri sa theme, may dalang program si Juno tas pink ang kulay.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT'S THE MOST VOTED?! WHO EVEN VOTED THAT PIECE OF- NEVERMIND!" in-end na niya ang tawag at inis na humiga sa higaan niya.

Ako naman binasa yung program, so may mga booths and stuffs? With Ferris wheels and kasiyahan sa loob ng school? it will happen month. Wow ang yaman talaga ng school na ito, they wont even bother studying kasi matatalino ang mga nag-aaral dito.

"Anong romance?! Ang cringey ng theme ngayon ha." Inis na kumento ni Phee.

"Ano ba ang theme last year?" tanong ko habang binabasa parin ang program, I just hated seeing pink. The theme will be romance so should it suppose to be red? Bakit pink?

"Hmmm... horror I guess? I suggested that." Sagot niya saakin. "Though hindi naman masaya ang theme nayon. So Aurelius decided to create a poll, at kung anong poll ang mas mataas. Yun daw ang gagamiting theme."

"Looks like romance won this time." Bumangon siya at kinuha ang program.

"May lighter ka ba?" tanong niya, I frowned naman. "Never mind I found one."

Tsaka niya sinunog iyon, ayaw niya rin sa mga ganon. Sabi niya weird daw and since the theme is romance. I guess maraming mag-jowa ang magkakasama.

"Matagal pa naman-

"Yeah pero mabilis lang ang panahon, Aish. Matulog na nga lang tayo. By the way, uuwi ka ba this weekend kay Berry?" tanong niya saakin.

"Oo, since day-off ko ang weekend." Mahinang sagot ko. pinatay na niya ang ilaw at natulog na, ako naman hindi makatulog dahil sa sinabi ni Killian saakin kaninang umaga.

Anong meron? Sino ang binugbog ko? The P3? Pero bakit hindi ko maalala? And he's speaking pretty weirdly, parang hindi si young master iyon. Young master is cute and fwuffy pero that guy I talked kanina is deadly and cold.

Anong ibig niyang sabihin? Na magkaparehas kami? Tsaka sina Phee and the others are acting weird. I wanted to know too, pero baka hindi ko rin business iyon since it's probably a family matter. Never mind, matulog na nga ako. Pipilitin kong matulog ngayon-

~~~~~

"Quinn, sa'n ka pupunta?"

What's...this? I glanced at him, its young master. Pero hindi ko magawang makapagsalita, intead I cupped his face. B-bakit- wh-what am I doing!?

Wait... nasa library kami? What? paano? He was sitting at the table while I was standing next to him. I'm in my body pero bakit hindi ako makagawa ng kung ano? I can't speak nor move my body in my own accord. It's like someone is controlling my body.

"What a beautiful boy." Narinig kong sabi ko. Excuse me?! feel ko ngumiti ako...feel ko lang ha. Why do I sound so sweet and creepy? "They hurt you... didn't they? I will beat them to death."

What am I saying?! Hindi ko sinabi iyon. nakatitig lang ako kay young master, his eyes went dull. What? nagulat naman ako ng hinawakan niya ang kamay ko na nakahawak sa pisngi niya.

"Hmm? Who're you?" tanong ni young master saakin, wait he's not young master. HE'S THAT GUY I MET KANINA! THAT COLD AND COCKY DUDE-

"I'll make you mine." We both said in unison, his eyes glow red and so does mine. WTF.

~~~~

"APPLE GISING NA!" malakas na sigaw ni Phee saakin.

Kaya agad akong napabangon at napahawak sa dibdib ko. Fuck- it's beating faster, why? Why... ang sakit ng puso ko. ang sakit rin ng ulo ko, what the heck is happening?

"Oh ok ka lang?" napalingon naman ako kay Phee, naka apron siya at may hawak na plato. I think she's cooking. "Bakit ka pinagpawisan?"

"H-ha? W-wala." That dream felt true. Ang creepy, nakakatakot. I'm pretty sure it's a dream, baka panaginip lang iyon. Or is it my memories?

Pero hindi ko maalala, hindi ko maalala na ginawa or sinabi ko kay young master. Did I really beat those guys? Hindi ko maalala...bakit? Why? Why? Why... cant I remember?

"Ok ka lang? kanina ka pa hiningal at pinagpawisan." Lumapit si Phee sakin at hinawakan ang noo ko. "You have a fever."

"Huh?" gulat na tanong ko, weird bakit ako nagkasakit?

"You should rest, I'll tell Killian about your condition." Inilagay ni Phee ang plato sa ibabaw ng lamesa sa may gilid ko. "Hindi ka muna magtatrabaho dahil sa sakit mo ok?"

"N-no." hinay hinay niya akong inihiga sa higaan ko. "paano na si y-young master?"

"Kami na ang bahala sakanya, you need to rest. Yan kasi di ka kasi nag-iingat." Phee sat beside me and got some towel and warm water.

Hindi na ako nagsalita, should I tell her about my dream? She'd get worried too. pero baka panaginip lang talaga iyon Apple, why do you keep convincing yourself na totoo iyon? Why? Ang sakit ng ulo at katawan ko.

I don't know pero inaantok ako... I should sleep.

~~~~~

"Her conditions not good today either, you should check her out next week? What? Don't worry nag-aaral din siya. ibigay mo na ang phone ni Aurelius, Killian."

Andito ako ngayon sa hospital, aparrently my condition got worst kaya kailangan kong magpahinga ng sooobbraang tagal. I kid you not I have been resting 2 weeks now, sabi ng doctor. Pagod daw ang katawan ko.

I can't even remember when I exhaust my self that time, ay wait. Naalala ko, it was the time na naghahanap ako ng part-time job halos hindi ako nakatulog. I didn't get enough rest, ewan ko kung bakit ngayon lang dumating ang sakit ko. na delay ang reaction ng katawan ko.

"Hey Apple, babalik na ako sa school ha? They need me again, si Berry nasa kabilang room lang." tumango naman ako, I haven't seen young master in 2 weeks now. Hindi ko man lang nagawa ng maayos ang trabaho ko. "Kahit gabi na ay papupuntahin parin ako, damn it Juno."

Aurelius was gonna get another escort kaso hindi pumayag si Killian and he only wanted me as his bodyguard slash escort, AWWWW SANA ALL TALAGA. Umalis na si Phee dumating naman si Berry kasama si ate Fawn.

"Ate, rest more. Stop reading already, baka mas lalala ang sakit mo. I'll go to sleep now, good night." Pumunta lang siya dito para sabihin iyon? Ate Fawn also greeted me good night, pinatay na nila ang ilaw. Berry's really acting like an adult now, hayssss.

Humiga na ako ng maayos at napatitig sa ceiling, I am so bored right now. Ok na ako, why do I need to rest more? I want to see young master

*BLAG*
