Escorting the Vampire Prince

Chapter 28: Killian's Perception

"OH speaking of the cutie devil! Hello baby!" napatingin naman si Killian saakin at nakatitig lang ako sakanya. He looked surprised na parang hindi niya alam na dito ako titira.

He still looks like a mess, and parang hindi siya naligo ng ilang araw. His wounds are still there too. wala bang maglilinis sa mga sugat niya? He looks awful pero cute parin naman, I wonder kung ano ang iisipin ng dating Maple pag nakita niya si Kill.

Maawa kaya siya? Will she forgive her too? He's our weakness afterall. "H-hello...?"

"Baby, tinatawag ka naman kanina ng mga kuya mo. Ayaw mo daw lumabas? Oh and we were just discussing about Maple's future link." Masayang sabi ni Tita. "She's staying here too."

"A-ano? Really?" biglang lumiwanag ang mata niya, wow he really wanted me here. tumango tango naman si Tita and humarap saakin.

"So how about him? He's an incomplete too." napalunok naman ako ng tinanong ako ni Tita non. Damn it, I don't have any plans na magka-link muna... I need to find a way.

"No I'm sorry I will still refuse." mahinhin na sagot ko. Napatingin naman ako kay Killian ng sinagot ko, I could see his shoulders dripping down at napayuko naman ang ulo niya.

"What do you mean... no? ayaw mong maging link sakanya?" gulat na tanong ni Aurelius saakin. I just smiled at him, kailangan kong humanap ng palusot. I have no choice but to do this, I'm sorry Killian.

"The Family Leopold has done a very big thing to help my family, being linked to the Leopold family is something I can't do I'm sorry. Masyado ng sobra ang ginawa nila para saamin." Sagot ko naman at tumingin kay Tita Kailey. "I will find another link nalang po."

Wala naman talaga akong planong kumuha ng ibang link sa ngayon dahil naka-focus ako sa trabaho ko. but Tita will continue to bother me so I need to find a way, I'm sure hindi mangyayari ang paghahanap ng link.

Nakita naman namin na umalis si Killian nung isinagot ko iyon. naaawa nga ako sakanya nung umalis siya eh, too bad I need to do this. So I looked coldly as he walked away, hinawakan naman ni tita ang kamay ko.

"Are you sure Maple? You two were close back then, hindi mo ba siya naaalala?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Tita. Shit, do I need to lie more?

"No I'm sorry hind ko siya maalala po." Mas humigpit naman ang pagkahawak ni Tita sa kamay ko, I'm sure she realized I'm lying now! Magkasama kaya kami ni Killian dati at naalala ko si tita pero yung anak niya eh hindi?!

"Boys, go get your brother and see if he's ok. May pag-uusapan lang kami ni Maple." Napalunok nalang ako sa sinabi ni Tita. Alam niya bang nagpretend lang ako? "Maple...? I know that look, bakit mo ginawa iyan?"

"An-ano po kasi..." napakamot nalang ako ng ulo at napayuko, she won't understand my reason. "Ano... uhm-

"I understand, don't push him to hard ha? I know what happened, boto pa naman ako sainyo. Pero sayang naman, you still need to find a link." Tumango tango naman ako. "We'll find your link next week, for now kailangan mo ulit pumasok sa school."

Tumango naman ako at yumuko. Ah oo nga pala nag-aaral pa pala ako. I guess we'll be looking for my link next week then. By the way, is he alright? Was I too hard on him? bumabawi lang naman ako, but I feel guilty now.

(KILLIAN'S POV)

"She hates me now..." I don't know why pero I feel terrible inside me, I keep clenching in my heart. It hurts ang sakit talaga. Naaiyak na naman ako. "Sh-she won't forgive me too."

I closed the door at ni-lock iyon tsaka ako napaupo sa harap ng pintuan ko. Why am I feeling terrible? It's so terrible that it hurts. Sabi niya ayaw niyang makipag-link saakin, she hates me! why did I run away anyway?!
