Taste Of Red

Are You A Bad Guy?

“It's a red scepter!” I shouted then I smiled. “A fvcking beautiful, elegant scepter!”

But after just a few seconds of it shining brightly, I blinked and it turned back into a broom. What the?! Panandalian lang pala yung saya ko and the smile was immediately wiped off my face.

Chaos started laughing so hard and it made me frown. Draven was confused for a second, nagmukha siyang computer na naglo-loading dahil mabagal ang internet.

Tumingin si Chaos kay Draven at mas lumakas pa ang tawa niya and Draven was finally getting irritated at siniko niya si Chaos, he was laughing so loud like a patient that just came out from the mental hospital.

“Hey! Hinaan mo yung tawa mo Chaos because people might get curious and come up here,” I can sense the seriousness in his voice. Chaos covered his mouth but still continued laughing, his cheeks are now turning a little bit red. I rolled my eyes.

“What just happened?! Akala ko okay na pero... Argh, why does everything isn't going my way?!” I'm really starting to get frustrated about everything. Alam mo yung almost there na feeling? Just a little bit more and you're already going to reach it pero may mangyayari talaga na sisira sa mga plano mo. I sighed and calmed myself down.

“Umm... I know you guys have seen the scepter in my hands kanina, can someone please explain what was the scepter for?” I inquired.

“A scepter is a staff that symbolises sovereignty,” Draven said while playing with his silver watch. I thought vampires aren't supposed to touch silver? Well I guess he's different because he can also stay under the sun.

“Sovereign... It means a supreme ruler or someone who has powers. That scepter is also used by witches, wizard or anyone who has magical powers.... especially those who uses dark magic,” said Chaos.

“Is there anyone in your family who uses magic Hyacinth?” Draven asked.

I gave them an awkward laugh. My family? Magic? No way. I haven't seen anyone casting spells or whatever. Fly with brooms and brewing something in the cauldron like witches do...

That's hilarious!

“Nope,” I answered shortly.

“Then why do you have that scepter? Your family must have some kind of powers because your broom wouldn't transform into a scepter. There are only a few families here in Bloodshire who can use magic, two of them uses dark magic. Most of the students here in Bloodshire are vampires, werewolves and humans... there are only a few who uses magic...”

I sighed ang complicated pala ng Bloodshire. Ang dami pa palang mga mystery dito.

“Let's just forget about that and I hope I can make this broom into a scepter again tapos sabihan n'yo lang ako kung paano yun gamitin,” wika ko.

“Hindi naman alam kung paano yan gagamitin Hyacinth. That's why we are asking you about your family... They might help us. Your mother, how about father? I don't think you have any siblings,” sabi ni Chaos.

My mother is not here, my father? I don't even know where he is right now... I suddenly felt sad because I remembered what happened again in the Howlers' territory. Everything is starting to go downhill for me again.

The only one I have right now is my grandmother.

“How about your grandmother?” Chaos inquired.

“H'wag na nating isali si Lola dito. I don't want her to get involved.” I said, I felt a little bit discouraged and sad.
