Rose POV
"no!!!!!!!!!!!!" naring kong sigaw ni Lissa. Agad ko siyang pinuntahan sa kanyang higaan. And i felt her fear.
"pshhh.. Liss... its okey now" habang hinahaplos ko ang mahaba niyang buhok. Medyo tumahan na siya at niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit.
"Rose, i dreamed of Andrei. He wants me to go after him. Im so scared" mahinang sabi ni Lissa at medyo bumalik iyong pagkatakot niya kanina.
"its only just a dream Liss. And now your in the real world" at niyugyog ko siya upang magising siya ng tuluyan. Kahit ako natakot rin, pero i must be strong. Lissa needs me more. Si Andrei nga pala ang kuya ni Lissa na namatay along with her parents too. Kaya ulilang lubos na talaga si Lissa hindi katulad ko na may isang ina pa. But i dont consider mom as my mommy anyway, since she left me and never came back. Okey lang sa akin iyon, nasanay na ako na hindi siya kasama. Mas pinipili pa ng kanyang ina ang trabaho nito kesa sa kanya. I felt sad when my stepfather died because he is the one that i can called a family after my mom left. and i am guilty as well. You know what? because i am the one who killed him.
****falshback******
"daddy?" i heard a noise that came from our kitchen. And i quickly go downstairs to see it. In my suprise i see dad --- i dont know if it is him. Because the man in the kitchen is full of dirt and i see blood on his neck. And his eyes are red and he is so pale until i realized that this man infront of me is no longer my dad. He turned into a zombie.
"da-dad? is that you?" i know its useless to ask but i cant accept the fact that he is already dead. Hindi ito maari, bakit? paano? sino? paulit-ulit kong tanong sa aking isipan habang patuloy rin akong umaatras dahil pumupunta sa direksyon ko ngayon ang daddy ko. I look around to find a tool to use it as a defense. Pero wala akong nakita, kasi nalilito pa rin ako sa mga nangyayari.
"rawwwwwr" ang tanging naririnig ko sa aking daddy habang may tumutulong magkahalong dugo at saliva sa kanyang bibig. Mukhang takam na takam siya sa akin. Dali dali akong pumanhik sa itaas nang may maalala akong isang bagay na makakatulong sa akin sa ganitong sitwasyon.
When i reached my drawer, i directly grab the gun that my father give it to me when i was 8 yrs. old. Habang hawak ko ang baril, patuloy pa rin ang pag-agos ng luha sa aking mukha. Hindi ko talaga gustong gawin ito. Pero kailangan, ayokong mamatay nang ganito nalang . My dad raised me to be strong and reminded me that no matter what happen, i must survive in this chaotic world. I wiped my tears and ready to shoot him.
****end of flashback****
I came back to my senses when i felt that Liss is trembling. Hinawakan ko siya sa kanyang baba at tiningnan. Namumutla siya at ang lamig ng kanyang kamay.
"Liss? are you okey? is this about the dream? i told you it was just an imagination. all dreams are not true. Believe me." seryoso kong sabi sa kanya.
"no its not about the dream Rose" sabi ni Lissa
"ano naman? because you looked so pale" nag-alala kong sabi.
"just give me a glass of water. Im thirsty." walang ganang sabi ni Lissa. At bigla akong may naalala. Matagal-tagal din palang hindi nakaka-inom ng dugo si Lissa. I think its been 3? or 4 days since the last feeding. Isa kasing Moroi si Lissa or the so called Royal Vampire. Kaya hindi pwedeng ipagwalang bahala ang pag-inom niya ng dugo, kasi nakasanayan niya na iyon. Kahit tutol man si Lissa pinipilit ko siyang painumin ng aking dugo. Para kahit papaano ay may lakas siya.
"When did we did the last feeding? 3? 4 days? bakit hindi mo sinabi?" tanong ko nang nakangiti, i want her to feel comfortable and lively again. Dahil sa tuwing nakakainom siya ng dugo, bumabalik iyong sigla ni Lissa.
