Chapter 7: A Dance with a Vampire

"What do you want?" Lucien asked, darkly staring at the men in front of us.

"Sir Lucien, your father wants to talk to you in private," one of them said.

Lucien smirked and looked back on the stage.

"Tell him, I'll talk to him later." He said but the men stayed still. Nanatili silang nakaharang sa amin.

"Don Lorenzo wants it now, Sir."

Lucien raised his eyebrow and his jaw  clenched. "My wife is starving. She needs to eat. Tell him, if he won't let my wife eat at least, then we have no choice but to leave and he won't have a chance to talk to me," he said with a warning tone.

Napangiwi ako sa kanya. Ako pa ang ginawa niyang dahilan.

Nag-alangan ang mga lalaki at ang isa sa kanila ay tumakbo paakyat sa entablado.

"Move! Before I smash all of your faces on the ground." He uttered,  threatening them.

Walang nagawa ang mga lalaki at tumabi. Lucien walked with a triumphant smirked.

"Did we successfully pissed them off?" Vlad asked asked we walked, looking for a vacant table.

"I don't think so. Lucien looked more pissed than the Columbus Family," Alvin commented.

Lucien glared at him. "I'm not pissed because of them.  I'm just.." he looked at me for a second. "Not in the mood."

Nakahanap ng bakanteng lamesa si Alvin. Lumapit kami doon at agad akong kumuha ng baso at uminom ng tubig. Nauhaw ako sa mga naganap. Samahan pa ng nerbyos sa mga bampirang nakapaligid.

"At bakit naman wala ka sa mood? Hindi ka ba pina-score ng Misis mo?" Vlad joked as he sat on the vacant chair.

Nabilaukan ako sa sinabi niya. Naubo ako at napahawak sa dibdib ko. Natawa si Vlad sa reaksyon ko. Nagtawag naman ng waiter si Alvin.

"Shut up," ani Lucien at lumapit sa akin. Hinaplos niya ako sa likod at pinunasan ang gilid ng aking labi.

Vlad only laughed and looked at the waiter who are busy putting foods on our table. Nilagyan naman ni Lucien ng mga iba't ibang pagkain ang pinggan ko.

Umayos ako ng upo at nagsimulang kumain. The food tasted good. Napatigil ako sa pagkain nang biglang may naalala. This event is for  vampires only. Baka kung ano na tong kinakain ko.

"Don't worry, the food is edible for a human like you." He stated, probably saw my troubled expression.

Tumango ako at nagpatuloy sa pagkain. Nagsalin naman ito ng alak sa kanyang kupeta.

"This is animals' blood." Vlad said as he tasted the red liquid in his glass. Seems like he didn't like what he just tasted. "Do you have any human blood?" tanong nito sa waiter.

"We have none, Sir. The Columbus family didn't allow it," magalang na sagot ng waiter.

"Tss, okay. Thank you. You can go," pagtataboy nito. Tumango ang waiter at agad umalis pagkatapos magpaalam.

"Kuripot ng pamilya mo, Cien," reklamo ni Vlad. " Kung umakto 'kala mo kung sinong matitino. Nililigo nga nila ang dugo ng tao."

Nailuwa ko ang aking kinakain sa sinabi niya. Para akong masusuka.

Inabotan ako ng tubig ni Lucien at tumingin siya kay Vlad. "Shut your mouth, Vagalath. Can't you see, my wife's eating."

"Oh. I'm sorry, Madame. I didn't mean it." He looked at me, apologizing.
