Hating Her, Loving Her

Anika's POV

After that talk, i stayed at the room, thinking about what he just said. Why does the kingdom needs me? Ano 'bang meron ako? I opened the book and just read about vampires. Suddenly, i remembered Nieves, shit my cat. I searched for my phone, i found it in the bedside drawer. Luckily, my phone is fully charged and has a signal. I texted Sunoo, minutes later he's already in my room.

"Yeh? Why'd 'ya call me here?" He asked.

"I need to go back to my apartment." i said.

"Why?" He asked.

"I need to go back, i have a work, and shit i have to go to school." Napasabunot ako sa buhok ko. Nagaaral pa pala ako, sa dami ng nangyari hindi ko na naalala na nag aaral pa pala ako. Lumabas na kami ng kwarto at dumiretso sa dinaanan namin nung nakaraan, sa malaking puno. The same boy appeared, and cheerfully greeted us. We passed through the tree-like-portal. Sunoo, flicked his finger and a car appeared right in front of us. It's a freaking Ferrari. I was still in awe when Sunoo called me.

"Are you just going to stand there?" Lumapit na ako at pumasok ng kotse.

"I bet hyung's already told you about special abilities, mine is summoning whatever i imagined, and also i can disperse and set a time to disperse them." Namangha ako sa special ability ni Sunoo. Like that is so cool. I wonder what's mine. Is it powerful? Is that the reason why San Reg needs me?

"Sunoo, Jungwon told me about something. About Sanguis Regnum needs me? What does he mean about that?" Mukhang nagulat si Sunoo doon. Then he sighed.

"I'll tell you later, for now, kunin mo muna lahat ng kailangan mo sa apartment mo. Dad said that you're gonna study on Sanguis University." He said.

"What? Bakit?"

"So we can keep our eyes on you, you're still a new born Anika. And it's convenient because makakasama mo kami doon." He said. Maya maya nakarating na kami sa apartment ko. May nakita akong bulto sa may tapat ng pinto ko. Lumapit ako at nakitang si Nali pala iyon. Pinapakain niya si Nieves.

"Nali." I called her. Umangat ang tingin niya sa'kin. Lumapit naman sa'kin si Nieves. I carried her. I feel bad for leaving her here for days.

"Uh, pinakain ko lang yung pusa mo. Pumunta ako dito nung nakaraan kasi si Boss nagtataka kung bakit di ka na pumapasok, and i found her diyan sa labas ng pinto mo." She said.

"Thank you ha. Pupunta na lang ako sa cafe mamaya, magpapaalam ako." I said.

"Bakit? Aalis ka na?" I nodded.

"Lilipat na kasi ako ng school." Sabi ko. Napatango tango naman siya. Nagpaalam na din siya pagkatapos. Pumasok na kami ng apartment naligo muna ako tsaka nagimpake ng ilang damit sa maleta ko. Pinaliguan tsaka nilagay ko si Nieves sa isang backpack, nakasara lang iyon ng konti para di siya mahulog. I called the landlady at nagpaalam na. Sabi niya siya na daw bahala doon, sinabi ko na din na sa kanila na yung mga gamit doon na natira. Tuwang tuwa naman siya, pagkain lang naman ang mga natira doon.Tinulungan ako ni Sunoo na ilagay sa kotse ang maleta ko.

"Sa cafe muna tayo. Magpapaalam lang ako." I said. He nodded. I did my business in the cafe at agad na ding umalis. It's good that i managed to keep myself calm around my boss. The scent of blood is really distracting me.

"See? Buti na lang napigilan mo sarili mo." Sunoo said while driving back to the portal.

"You have many things to learn Anika. You're life is not normal anymore, so please ready yourself." Sunoo said. Nang makarating sa kastilyo agad akong dumiretso sa kwarto ko. Nilapag ko sa kama si Nieves at nagaayos ng gamit ko.
