Aldeheid

Chapter 26

Blood
——————————————————————

Callum didn't know if he can finally breath or not, because after Adelaide cleaned Cartenia followed Aldeheid's sudden collapse.

Hindi na niya pa hinintay na gumising ito at mabilis na tinakbo ang daan patungo sa hospital, kung saan nasa kabilang banda ng Malcolm, ang parte na nasa maayos pa ang kalagayan.

They received congratulations and greetings from the locals. Ngunit sa halip na sumagot ay hindi na ito napansin ni Callum at mabilis na hiniga si Aldeheid. The people weren't offended at all since they already know what happened about their beta and the human. Murmurs found Callum's ears but decided not to be bothered about it.

"Pero paano si Juliette?"

Nang maipasok sa emergency room ay doon lamang nakapag-isip ulit si Callum. The uneasiness he felt was ridiculous. Ayaw niya man mag-isip ng masama ay hindi niya pa rin magawa.

Thousands of questions run inside his head but one question caught his attention.

What if what Adelaide said was true? Paano kung mamatay nga ito dahil sa dugong nangangalata sa katawan? He shook his head in disagreement. Hindi. Hindi iyon maaari kasi matagal nang namatay ang magnanakaw. Kaya paanong ngayon pa mawala si Adleheid kung kelan halos na okupa na ng dugo ang buong katawan nito? He mean—it wouldn't make sense to die after all the shit that she had been though!

If only it was his blood that contaminated, then there wouldn't be any problem. His blood, as a beta and as a Clemente, is too powerful than death. Even his Alde can survive anything with it. Only that it's not his blood but that fucking thief's and the only thing he wants to do now is to kill that thief for the second time again for contaminating his blood into Alde's.

Napamura nalang siya sa mga naisip at napakunot noo nalang dahil na baka pinaglalaruan lang sila noon ni Adelaide lalo pa't may galit ito sa kaibigan niyang prinsipe.

He waited patiently outside the emergency room, well almost become impatient before Rios, whose right arm wore a sling and left foot was supported by a crutches, came into his view.

As a real friend, he laughed. "How's the prince?," mapagbiro niyang tanong bago inungusan ni Rios at walang pakealam na umupo sa tabi nitong upuan.

Rios winced as he felt the pain of his wounds when he carelessly sat himself.

"Puta." the only word rush out of his mouth before clenching his jaws.

"Ano ba ang nangyare sa'yo? Mukhang napuruhan ka ata ni Cartenia?" natatawa na si Callum.

Rios did not like what Callum named and furrowed his eyebrows, "Do I look weak to you? Of course I can win against that witch with only my sword!"

Mas ikinatawa lamang ni Callum nang makita niya ang pangungugat nito sa sinabi. Mukha ngang may ibang gumawa nito sakaniya na mas malakas pa kesa sa naging ina niya.

"It's that wicked witch that did this." atsaka ito nagmusot na para bang inis na inis siya pero wala naman siyang magawa.

"Adelaide?"

Rios rolled his eyes, "Sino pa?," he cursed again making Callum shake his head.

He couldn't blame that witch, though. His friend here, doesn't act like the prince that he is. Not only that Rios is annoying but also loud, and that witch can never with a person like him. Napakibit balikat si Callum, baka rin may ginawang estupido itong kaibigan niya kaya pinuruhan ng babaeng iyon. Mas mabuti sigurong hindi nalang siya makialam at hayaan ang dalawang magbati—iyon ay kung mangyare man.
