I was standing in the middle of the kitchen, staring at the emptiness. Binabagabag ako ng napakaraming bagay sa isipan ko, mga katanungang 'di nabigyan ng kasagutan sa napakahabang panahon. I let out a deep sigh, I'm getting fairly preoccupied with such things running into my mind.

Humakbang ako papalapit sa gilid ng counter, nakahulma ang dulo nito na may pakurbang sulok at gawa sa kulay light gray na marmol. There has a wide counter space and ample storage in this kitchen. I glanced my eyes at the griddle on top of the stove, a small portion of me prefers pancakes at the moment but my laziness pervaded.
Lumapit ako sa parihabang tray at kumuha ng baso sa sulok. Placing the glass on the wooden table before pulling the blood bag at the bottom tray. Agad akong nagsalin ng dugo sa baso at umupo sa kulay itim na upuan. I smiled like a cheshire cat as I took a sip,  throwing the plastic inside the bin subsequently; a waning thud was spread all through out the kitchen. I enhaled deeply when the taste of blood filled my throat, remembering what had happened earlier at the hospital.

Tumigil ang kanilang mga yapak sa labas ng pinto, ang katahimikang nanahanan sa paligid ay mas lalong dumadagdag sa takot na nararamdaman ko sa mga sandaling ito.

“Kaunting panahon na lang, matutupad na din ang inaasam natin.” A cold monotonous voice muttered. “Si Mulac, ang magbibigay sa atin ng impormasyon kung nasaan ang eklektós. I diorisméni Loúna.” They were prattling for what seems like forever, but I remained soundless; in defiance of sensing danger from this men's presence.

Kailangan kong makailis sa silid na ito bago pa nila ako makita, ngunit walang ibang daan palabas ng silid na ito. I looked around, seeking for a spot to keep myself out of their sight; I swiftly treaded at the narrow space behind the boxes. Yumuko ako at nagtago sa pagitan ng naglalakihang kahong kinalolooban ng kumot nang unti-unting bumukas ang pinto. Their nasty scent filled the air; a blood-curling footsteps made their way inside the room. Basing on their scents; they don't belong to high ranking vampires, but their presence alone was enough to make me feel frail.

"Prépei na epistrépsoume sto froúrio.” Bulalas ng isang bagong dating na lalaki. Nagtataka man sa narinig ay nanatili ako sa aking kinaroroonan, hanggang sa narinig ko ang malakas na pagsara ng pinto kasabay ng nagmamadali at papalayong yapak ng mga bampira.

The sun is shining brightly, peeking against the towering trees. Still persisting to ogle around in spite of the foggy scope of my territory. Itinaas ko ang aking kamay at naging kulay berde ang aking mata. I mumbled a spell, adding some colors in a musky surrounding.

Namukadkad ang mga bulaklak hatid ang iba't-ibang kulay at nabalot ng kahalihalinang bango ang paligid.
Ipinagsiklop ko ang dalawa kong palad. My eyes glimmered to lime green as butterflies emerged from my palms.

Nagliparan ang mga paru-paru at sinuyod ang mabulaklak na hardin ng aking tahanan. I grinned from ear to ear; a child-like smile permeating my face. Nakakatuwang pagmasdan ang mga ito habang nagliliparan sa ibabaw ng makukulay na mga bulaklak.

My wolf in the other side was yearning to be free and to wander the forest again, she wants to release her speed among those giant trees.

Pagbigyan mo na ako neia. Ani ni Amaya sa aking isipan.
