The Spirit of the Dragon Deity

CHAPTER 1

"OK everyone! Get ready! In 5 minutes lalabas na kayo!" Mabilis na gumalaw si Ali to put her jewelries at lastly, the finishing touch of her make up. When she's satisfied, she prepared herself for her last day of modeling for this month.

Dumiretso na kaagad sila papunta sa backstage and when the emcee announced the start of modeling, naunang lumabas ang nasa unahan niya and when it's her turn, lumabas siya kaagad and slowly walking while moving her waist, back is straight and in proper posture and when she's in the front of the stage, she turned around and smiled. She's modeling the latest design of dress of the most famous brand in their island. She somehow like it even though the design is very skin exposing. Mataas kasi ang sahod kaya sino pa ba ang hihindi, diba?

Nagsihiyawan naman ang may gusto sa damit niya and eventually, she turned her back and move to the back stage fast, pero at the same time, in elegant way.

Nang makabalik na ng backstage ay parang nabunutan na siya ng tinik at guminhawa na ang paghinga niya, finally! It's all done!

Bumalik siya kaagad sa dressing room niya at umupo sa sofa dala ng pagod. She really needs to rest. Napagod din siya kakagalaw the whole week, yes. Buong linggo niya puro pageant at modeling ang inatupag niya, it's her passion and work anyway. Napapaisip na din siya minsan kung para kanino niya pa ba ito ginagawa? She's alone in life, no family, no friends. But...she's just looking at the bright side of the picture, she love what she's doing, she's doing this for the living and she needs to live.

Naputol ang kakaisip ni Ali when someone knock in the door of her dressing room kaya umayos na siya ng upo and binigyan ng permisong pumasok kung sino man ang kumatok.
Bumungad naman kaagad sakaniya ang isang lalakeng kinaiinisan niya. The hell, ano'ng ginagawa niyan dito?

Tumayo kaagad si Ali at automatikong tumataas ang depensa niya sa sarili, she doesn't know kung ano ang mangyayare sakaniya dito in the hands of this man pero better be sure.

"Mr. Lau, what are you doing here?" Pilit na ngumiti si Ali to hide her annoyance. Magkamali lang talaga ng galaw ang manyakis na to, mahahanap niya talaga ang hinahanap niya.
This guy has been pestering her for the last few days, he keep on touching her in a manner na nababastosan na siya. He keep on being there everytime may modeling siya, saying that kesyo fan daw niya ito.

"I'm here to visit you, Alina..." dahan dahan itong lumapit sakaniya at dahan dahan ding umatras si Ali papunta sa make up table niya. "You know, I really like the way you dress up for yourself and showing your skin to the whole audience. It made me feel so alive." Saktong nakakuha ng matalim na needle si Ali kaya tinago niya ito sa loob ng palad niya.

Nagulat siya ng hinawakan siya nito sa beywang at dinikit ang katawan nila sa isa't isa na mas lalong kinagalit ni Ali at pinandiri. Binigyan siya ni Mr. Lau ng nambabastos na tingin at diniliaan niya ang sariling labi na parang masarap siyang putahe sa paningin nito. Damn! She can't take this anymore! Wala siyang pake kung head ito ng agency niya pero hindi na niya kaya ang pambabastos nito!

Kinuyom niya ang kamao niya na may hawak na needle dahilan para masugatan ang palad niya at lumabas ang dugo. She needs help.

Lien, help me!

The next thing she knew, Lien took over her body.

------

Dragon scales forming in the side of the face and full of energy around her body.

"OH it feels good to be back in this world" nakangising sabi ni Lien sa kaharap niya na ngayon ay napabitaw sa beywang niya at dahan dahan na umatras habang nanlalaki ang mga mata nito na para bang nakakakita ito ng halimaw. Well, Lien would really admit that she is a monster.
