Wing's Denouement: Vamprous Angelico Chronicle I

16 | The Beginning of Truth

Let's start.

Chapter 16.

I went inside the Mansion and heads my way inside my room. I locked the door and lay down on my bed.

What now?

Ipinikit ko ang mga mata ko nang maramdaman ang pagod at antok. I let out a heavy sigh as I remember Trevor.

"I am your ally, Ada- I am your alliance for life and death."

His words were secured and deep. I can't help but to let myself believe in him.

Vezran Mazrid... Trevor's father. The King Leader of all the Vampires.

And Trevor Mazrid... the reigning King of Vampires. The highest generation of all the Vampires.

"AHHHH!" I shouted out of my lungs. Hindi ko kaya. Hindi ko alam kung ano'ng mararamdaman. I can feel mixed emotions; anxiousness, madness, doubtness and guilt!

I am furious at the moment.

"I am your ally, Ada."

His voice... I want to trust him. I badly want to trust him. But his father might ruin everything!

I clenched my fist upon hearing my father's voice.

"Magdalene. Let's talk," the stern voice can be heard from him.

I don't care. I am not in the mood to talk about anything. Masyado ng madaming bumabagabag sa'kin. But this is the reason why I went home right? To know the truth.

Bumangon ako at nag-ayos ng sarili. Humarap ako sa salamin bago napahinga nang malalim.

I need to get an answer. If not all, atleast a hint.

Akmang pipihitin ko na ang seradura ng pinto nang maalala ang espada ko. I forgot it on Trevor's horse. Isinabit ko ito sa mga taling nakakabit sa kabayo niya kanina. I will fetch it later.

I opened the door but dad left already. My eyes can't found Mr. Miguel. So I decided to went straight into my Dad's office.

Nasa parehas na palapag lamang ang kwarto ko at ang opisina ni Dad. I roamed my gaze around. Walang pinagbago sa disenyo. Nandito parin ang madaming bulaklak na si mommy mismo ang nagtanim. Ang mga mapuputing vase, ang malaking chandelier sa gitna ng Mansyon, at maging ang mga naglalakihang paintings na nakasabit sa ilang bahagi ng maputing dingding.

I stopped and approached the painting beside my father's office. Si daddy noong kabataan niya. Halos wala namang pinagbago ang itsura niya noon sa itsura niya ngayon. Mas lumaki lamang ang pigura ng katawan nito. My dad is handsome. He's the known vampire during his era because of his skilled ability and his righteousness towards serious matters; maliit o malaking problema man ito.

No wonder why my mom fell in love with him despite of their differences.

Love is unpredictable. It suddenly occurs in an unknown situation. Unexpected that even the worst reasons cannot stop it.

Vampires are known to have no heart. But that's just a mere story lives in human being's literary pieces. Vampires has their own heart. But unlike human beings, it's not beating. Unlike angels, it's not pure.

Hindi ko na inabala ang sarili na kumatok. Binuksan ko ang pinto ng opisina ni Dad at dire-diretsong pumasok. I stopped as I approached his table. He's on his swivel chair. Nakatalikod ito sa akin pero alam kong batid nitong nasa loob na ako ng opisina niya.

I stood for almost three minutes before he faced me. I looked at him without an emotion plastered on my face. I remained calm and serious.

Batid ko na madami siyang ibabatong katanungan sa akin at batid kong kailangan kong sagutin ang lahat ng iyon ng walang bahid ng kasinungalingan. He's my father, respect is the biggest manner that he wants me to lend for him.
