Unidentified Character

Nasamid ako at agad na kinuha ang basong may tubig. Si Phoenix yung pusa? How did that happened? Kahit anong isip ko, wala talagang lumalabas na posibleng dahilan kung bakit siya magiging ganoon.

I looked at Kieran. "Panong naging si Phoenix yung pusa?"

 

"I turned him." walang emosyong sabi ni Kieran habang patuloy na kumakain.

Napakurap ako habang nakatitig sa kanya. Hindi makapaniwala sa nakitang reaksyon ng mukha ni Kieran. Wala man lang ba 'tong konsensya? Parang wala lang sa kanya ang ginawa niya kay Phoenix sa paraan ng pagsasalita niya. What the f*ck is wrong with this handsom― I mean guy?

 

"Bakit mo ginawa yun sa kanya?" naiinis na sabi ko. Kung ako ang nasa sitwasyon ni Cavan or Phoenix, malamang maiinis ako. Ikaw ba naman ganunin? Naturingan silang magkaibigan tapos―

"We had some misunderstandings last night." Kieran said nonchalantly. I raised my right eyebrow. Misunderstandings? Did I just heard that right? Isn't that the cliché line of couples? 

"Meeeooowww!"

My head instantly turned to look at the cat whose now Phoenix. How on earth did it turned out like this? Does turning Phoenix into a cat the only solution Kieran could ever think of?

"Can't help it...." Phoenix sheepishly said before snarling. "Anong misunderstandings?! Sinisi mo lang naman kaya ko! It's not my fault if she were somewhat enchanted." He growled. "I can never be comfortable in this puss-body! I'm a freakin' werewolf for heaven's sake!"

I gasped. " A werewolf?!"

"Oops.." Napayuko si Phoenix. "Okay, I didn't just said that." The cat run off.

Naguguluhang tumingin ako kay Kieran. I caught him looking then abruptly averted his gaze.

Siguro naman masasabi niya na sakin to dahil matagal niya na rin yung sinisikreto. May limitasyon rin naman ang pagtatago ng mga bagay-bagay. Dadating talaga sa puntong kailangan mo ng umamin. Madami na rin akong napapansing hindi ko na kinukwestyon. That's why he owe me a lot of explanations but I can accept it if he won't reveal all of it.

He sighed. "You heard him right, Gwen. He's a werewolf. It runs in their blood."

I stared at him, speechless. Then what does that makes him? How do normal people react in this kind of situation? I honestly can't contemplate.

 

"Hanggang kelan siya ganun?"

 

"Until tonight."

 

I sighed. Mabuti naman at panandalian lang.

 

"Pano mo siya ginawang pusa?"

 

"I cast a spell on him." walang emosyong sabi ni Kieran.
