Wing's Denouement: Vamprous Angelico Chronicle I

29 | Protect

Chapter 29.

I was once an innocent woman who firmly lives inside a big mansion. Surrounded by maids and dandells. Raised by my loving father and mother.

I was once an innocent woman who knew nothing about love. Not until I entered this Academy.

Not until I met him. Unang pagtatagpo pa lamang ng aming landas sa hallway ay may kakaiba na akong naramdaman sa kaniya. Like he's pulling me towards him effortlessly. Noong una ay ipinagsawalang bahala ko lamang ito dahil hindi ko siya kilala. And I am damn so innocent about these stuffs.

But when we met again. Inside that mysterious cave, where our swords and lips first met, I couldn't stop myself from entertaining the strange feeling within me.

And it happened again. I felt it again in a pathway where trees surrounded us. In a path where the wind blew calmly. Behind those unanswered questions about the key pendant that I was holding was the feeling inside me that pushed me to stare at his eyes and met his lips.

Hindi lamang doon nagtapos ang pag-usbong ng nararamdaman ko, dahil mas lalo lamang itong bumugso habang nakayakap ako sa kaniya at ipinagkatiwala ko ang kaligtasan ko sa mga kamay niya. This was when he drove me home, safely. And this was also the unexpected time when he met my father. And when I also met his father— the King of Vampires.

Trevor promised me to trust him for he will alway stay by my side...

"What ever comes on your way, Ada. Remember that you always have me on your side."

"Despite of differences."

"I am your ally, Ada."

"I am your alliance... for life and death."

And now I can clearly say that yes. Trevor Mazrid is my alliance for life and death.

"She's smiling. I told you girls something's off about her. Look at our Magdalene Mijares. She's smiling like a crazy woman!" Exaggerated reaction coming from Missy.

Akala siguro nito ay hindi ko sila naririnig. Abala lang naman ako sa pag-alala ng mga nakaraan namin ni Trevor. How come did I end up thinking all of these? Of course, dahil lang naman ito sa sinabi ng bampirang iyon.

"I love you, Trevor."

Pagkatapos kong sabihin ang mga salitang iyon ay bigla na lamang huminto ang lahat. Ang malanding bampira na nasa harapan ko ay nakatitig lamang sa akin na para bang may nasabi akong nakapagpatigil ng mundo nito. Hindi niya ba nagustuhan ang sinabi ko?

I was about to say something when he caressed my cheek and gently kissed my forehead. Napapikit na lamang ako sa hatid nitong kaginhawaan sa akin.

"Baby...I won't go too far," his gentle and soft voice filled my system. Nakakapang-akit na hindi ko na alam ang gagawin.

"Ipinapangako ko na birhen kitang ihaharap sa altar," nagulat ako sa itinuran nito.

W-what the fuck?! Hindi naman sa salungat ako sa pinagsasasabi ng bampirang ito ngunit bakit niya ba ito naiisip at nasasabi bigla?! Damn! Nakakapanibago ang ganitong usapan.

"So please, Ada. Don't be too wild," wow ha!

Agad ko siyang naitulak dahil sa mga pinagsasasabi niya. "At ako pa talaga, Trevor Mazrid?!"

"Ako pa talaga? Sa pagkakatanda ko ay ikaw itong biglang nanununggab!" I counterattacked exaggeratedly.

Naghari ang isang malakas na paghagalpak ng tawa ni Trevor. What's funny? Totoo naman na siya itong unang yumakap at humalik! Nahiya naman ako sa pa-dont be too wild niya!
