THE CURSED [Vampires Series #2] [On Hold]

44

LARA POV:

"This is the only clue I find"saad ni Coleen at pinakita ang itim na balahibo kay Abby, naka-upo parin kami dito sa kwarto ni Win ngayon.

Kinuha ni Abby 'to at pinagmasdan, dahan dahan 'tong lumingon sa banyo ni Win at tumayo. Sinundan na'min siya na pumasok sa banyo ni Win.

"This is not just a feather... This a Pen Feather, ginagamit 'to ng mga tao o bampira sa mga sina-unang panahon..."saad niya, nagtinginan naman kami ni Coleen saglit bago tumingin muli sakanya. "'To mismo ang ginamit nang gumawa ne'to... This Pen, she or he most used when she or he wrote this"she added while gesturing the mirror with a words written on it, kunot noong binaba ko'to.

"Another... War? May laban nanaman tayo? Oh god!"iritang sabi 'ko, di naman sila sumagot kaya umalis na'ko sa banyo at lumabas sa kwarto.

ABBY POV:

Pagkatapos lumabas ni Lara ay bumuntong hininga nalang 'ko, sinandal 'ko ang likod 'ko sa pader nang banyo pati narin ang ulo.

"Ate... Sundan kulang muna si Ate Lara"paalam ni Coleen, tumango lang 'ko sakanya. I heard the door open and close again, hudyat na umalis na si Coleen sa kwarto. Tumingin muli 'ko sa salamin na may sulat parin.

"Abby... Magingat ka palagi mahal 'ko... Tutoparin pa na'tin ang pangako na'tin, we're gonna make our own Family too... Sevi, Sedine and I... Will wait for you"

"I love you... Daddy"Sevi and Sedine both said and unison, I smile and kneel down my right knee. Marahan 'kung hinaplos ang pisnge nila dalawa.

"I love you too... Se-Sevi and Sed-Sedine... Wait for me, okay?"saad 'ko, tumango naman ang dalawa at akmang yayakapin kuna sana nang bigla 'kong mawalan nang malay.

Napapikit 'ko ng mata at mariin na kinuyom ang kamao, one tears slowly fell from my eyes down to my cheeks.

I sniff and wipe my tears, I glance at the mirror and quickly punch this. Lumabas na'ko sa kwarto dala ang balahibo na ginawang panulat nang kalaban na'min.

I have one suspect...

But, I'm not sure if SHE'S the right one...

I don't want to accused my MOM

Bumaba 'ko sa hagdan at naabutan si Lara at Coleen na nagyayakapan, nang makita nila 'ko ay agad nilang pinahiran ang luha nila.

"I have one suspect... But... I don't want to accused her right now, I'm not totally sure"walang emosyon 'kung sabi, nilagpasan 'ko sila at lumabas sa bahay ni Coleen. Madaming taong nakatingin sa'kin at sa bahay ni Coleen ngayon.

I entered in my car and start driving, leaving my two cousins with a questioning look.

5 years ago when we saw a one clue, wala na 'kong iba pang nahanap. Kaya medyo nahihirapan 'ko na isalba 'to.

Nahihirapan 'kong taposin ang misyon na kailangan taposin na'min tatlo

"Hi Ate! You're gising na pala, I made you a breakfast"bati nang isang babae sa'kin, I smile at her and kiss her top of her head.

"Hi Rhianna, how are you?"malambing na tanung 'ko sakanya, I adopt her when I visit one of the bahay amponan that was 3 years ago and she's already 17 years old.

"I'm okay naman po, let's eat na po?"masayang aya niya sa'kin, tumango naman 'ko at sinundan siya na papunta din sa kitchen.

"Where's, Ja---"

"I'm here na po!"napalingon kami dalawa sa likod 'ko, napangiti naman 'ko ng makita siya. "What's the ulam? Why is so bango?"conyo n'yang sabi, napailang naman 'ko ng maalala na conyo pala 'tong mga inampon 'ko.

"It's just a simple breakfast, Ate Jamie. Nothing special"Rhianna said with a smile, I smile at the two.

"Uy si Ate Abby, naswesweetan nanaman sa'tin... Ew! Ayaw 'ko ng sweets, Ate. You know that"Jamie said, I playfully rolled my eyes and sit down. Nasa magkabilang gilid 'ko sila naka-upo ngayon habang 'ko ay nasa gitna nila.

Kumain kami nang almusal nang nagkwekwentuhan about sa schools nila, medyo naoout topic nga 'ko e. Pa'no ba naman! Ang tatalino nang mga 'to.

Jamie is already 1st Year Collage and doesn't know where her parents is, basta nalang daw s'yang iniwan nang mga 'to nung 4 years old palang siya. Same as Rhianna, pero nung buwan palang daw pagkatapos isilang siya ay iniwan na daw siya nang magulang ne'to sa bahay amponan. Dun din daw sila lumaki dalawa, kaya naman. I decided to adopt these two cutie girls.

Rhianna is in Grade 12 and graduating highschool student already, months nalang gragraduate na'to. Ayos naman pagpapalaki 'ko sakanila kase di naman sila makulit at di rin palahingin. Sa katunayan nga, sila pa nagiipon nang pera na binibigyan 'ko sakanila.

Pagkatapos na'min kumain ay nagpresenta na'ko na maghuhugas. "Be ready for school! Ihahatid 'ko kayo!"sigaw 'ko, rinig 'kung sumangayon naman sila kaya nagpatuloy na'ko sa ginagawa 'ko.

The two didn't know my real race, hindi nila alam na bampira 'ko. It's just Jem and Dana knows, Dana is Jem's girlfriend and I know them since the day me, Lara and Coleen met Jem at the side walk.

Narinig 'ko naman ang yakap ni Rhianna pababa sa hagdan, I saw her with her bag and two books.

"Ate, can you pick up us later mga... I guess, 5PM?"paalam niya, kunot noong tinignan 'ko naman siya at sakto naman na bumaba nadin si Jamie.

"Yes, Ate. We have projects din to do e, tas si Rhianna naman daw... May projects to do din"she added, I look at the two confusedly. "Ah, come on Ate Abby! We don't have boyfriends"

"But, girlfriend?"biro 'ko pa, napamaang naman ang mukha nang dalawa kaya bahagya 'kong natawa sakanila.

"Ate, we don't have boyfriend... Girlfriend either"Rhianna said, with irritated tone. I raise my hands in the air just to tell them I'll stop na.

I got my car key and carry Rhianna's bag. "Let's go, you guys might be late"I said, they'll nod to me and get their things.

Lumabas na kami at pumasok sa bagong sasakyan 'ko, I bought this last year. This car is no wheels but it float in the air. Iba na ang henerasyon ngayon.
