T H I R S T : ASHAYA

Chapter 2

Nagising ako dahil sa ingay ng tv. Kinapa ko ang katabi ko. I heard him chuckled at hinuli ang pulsohan ko. It made me realize na lahat ng nangyari ay totoo. My breath hitches as i remember what happened.

"Morning." I heard him say while playing with my fingers. His morning voice was raspy but still sounds like music to my ears.

Nagmulat ako at tinignan siya. Nakahilig ang likod niya sa headrest at nakayakap ako sa kanyang bewang.

Bumaling ako sa pinapanood niyang news. A human had been caught and now preparing to be sold. There is some kind of a bidding that happens every time a human was caught. Their blood is the most valuable and rarest kind.

There are around 100-200 humans that owned by us who supply our daily meals. Their living in a luxury farm where they can get everything they want in exchange for their blood. Those weak creatures are so weak easy to die, they can't even last a century.

Iniba ko ang aking pwesto at lumipat sa harap niya. I spread his legs and laid with my back against him. His hands wrapped around me and pulled me closer. Gumapang ang isang kamay niya at mapanghanap na pumasok sa t-shirt ko. He cupped my breast.

Nasa leeg ko ang kanyang mukha at pinapatakan ng masuyong halik kung nasaan ang kanyang marka.

"Are you hungry?" I asked him. Nasa tv parin ang attention ko kung saan ay ipinakikita ang kabuoan ng babae. She's quite pretty for a low living creature.

"Hindi naman." He said while drawing circles on my waist with his thumb. Hinuli ko ang kamay niya at dinala iyon sa aking bibig.

A satisfied moan escaped my lips as his sweet blood filled my mouth. I'm sucking his thumb while watching the tv. Kinuha ko ang remote at inilipat ang channel sa cartoons.

"That moron will ask where her fucking ball is." I predicted. Umirap ako nang tinanong nga niya. bobo!

He laughed at my reaction and kissed the top of my head. I bit another whole on his thumb because the other one had healed already. Kahit maghapon ko siyang sipsipin ay alam kong hindi siya mauubusan ng dugo.

Bumaling ang attention ko sa pinto dahil sa pagtunog ng doorbell. Pabalibag na bumukas ang pinto dahil sa hindi kontroladong paggamit ko ng aking skill. This happens when i didn't get enough sleep.

"The heck?!" Athos cursed, surprised by the commotion. The servant looks more terrified than surprised. They all know how dangerous i can be when this happens.

"Bakit?" Maalumanay kong sabi. She's trembling with her head bowed down. I recognizes her as Alika's servant.

"My mistress want to ask if you will attend your class." She said timidly. I glanced at the clock which shows 8 am. Ugh! It's too early!

"I'll attend." I said. With a flicker of my finger, the door shuts with a loud thud. This is frustrating.

"Kalma." Sabi ni Athos at hinalikan ang balikat ko. I'm still sucking his thumb with furrowed brows. Inilabas ko iyon at dinilaan.

Hinarap ko siya at mabilis na hinalikan sa labi. "I'll wash up." Paalam ko bago nagtungo sa banyo.

Humarap ako sa malaking salamin at tinignan ang kabuoan ko. Maganda parin naman. Dumako ang tingin ko sa aking leeg at napangiti nang makita ang marka ng kanyang ngipin.

'Ashaya.'

His voice ringed on my mind. Napakunot ang noo ko.

"Athos?" I said calling for him. Bumukas ang pinto at sumilip siya. He has this playful smirk plastered on his lips.
