Chapter Two

It has been 3 weeks since i have a peaceful mind. I haven't dream of anything since then, sabi ni Lolo, sa sobrang busy ko hindi ko na namalayan ang schedule ng serum. I skipped two shots that day, indeed, i was starving with blood kaya naghallucinate ako. From that day, hindi na ako nilubayan ng paalala ni Romanov. Maya't maya ang send niya ng paalala sakin if i already took my shot.

From: Romanov

Hey, sweetie! 12noon na, take a shot. Love you.

Ibinaba ko ang cellphone ko at sinunod ang utos ng asawa ko sa pinadala niyang text message. I called my secretary outside to order her that no one is allowed to go inside my office until i said so.

Binuksan ko ang drawer sa kaliwang bahagi ng study table and took out a small silver brief case. The serum is photosensitive that's why the storage is design to be dark and cool at the same time. I filled out the gun syringe with the serum and shot the needle on the back of my elbow. Stinging sensation immediately began, my veins felt a hot liquid streaming up. I suppressed my groan and curled on the table. My heart's beating fast that i began to ran out of oxygen. I opened my mouth and gathered as much air as i can and exhaled. This is pain is for not killing people. I endure this pain every shot i get just to avoid killing people, for us not to be exposed.

Sweat is streaming down my temples, breathing harshly, i tried to calm myself. I saw myself on the mirror. I am very pale, my eyes were the lightest blue, my veins are shown lining my skin with dark blue color and my fangs are showing. I looked different, i looked like a monster.

I ALREADY saw my husband outside the building lobby when i got out. He usually do this kapag hindi siya busy or kapag nakakaya niya pang abutan ang schedule ko. We work in different deparment but under the same company. I look after the Nuclear Pharmaceutical Research and he do finances and money and dealings and money and money. Romanov is good closing deals.

I kissed him agad when i got into his place. "Hey hey, baka magkascandal tayo" i kidded.

"Baliw! Come on, nagugutom na ako"

"Would you like to dine in somewhere?" he asked while i am fixing my seatbelt.

"Hmm. Sige, let's just stroll around muna para makapili ako" he grimaced with my answer

"Akala ko ba gutom ka? Bakit mamimili ka pa ng kakainan?"

Tumaas ang kilay ko "and why not?"

"Sweetie, your time to choose ranges only to not less than 50 minutes and not more a day" he exaggerated with seriousness

"GOD ROMANOV! I AM CANCELLING THIS DATE!" i acted to unbuckle my seatbelt and act like going out of the car. He immediately stopped and buckle in back and peck a kiss on me.

I smiled at him, but my instinct acted and i shifted my gaze with someone. A figure was in front of our car, it was dark and i cannot see him well but it looked like he was watching us.

"why?" i took off my sight to the figure and look at my husband.

I smiled, "wala"

We ended up dining in an Italian restaurant, i have a thing with pasta kaya Romanov always asked me out on a date in an Italian restaurant.

"Hindi ka ba nagsasawa sa pasta?" he asked while i'm slurping the noodle

"Nyow" i answered with food inside my mouth "Eh ikaw? Hindi ka ba nagsasawa---"

"Hindi ako magsasawa sayo" putol niya sakin. Agad akong napangiti sa sinabi niya.

"I like that pero hindi yan ang itatanong ko."

"Eh ano?"

"Hindi ka ba nagsasawang sumimangot? You always looked like you just came out the freezer. Sa akin ka lang nagiging warm....ng kaunti?"

Kumunot ang noo niya sa sinabi ko. I guess he didn't like what he heard. Hindi na siya nagsalita hanggang sa makauwi kami sa mansion. Galit nga siguro siya. Pagkauwi naming ay agad siyang dumerecho sa banyo at nagpalit ng damit. He came out wearing boots and black leather hooded jacket.

"You're gonna hunt?" Pero hindi niya na sinagot, dire-direcho siyang naglakad palabas. Nagmadali naman akong nagpalit para maabutan ko siya at makasama sa hunting but he's already gone when i went outside, hindi ko tuloy alam kung saan ko siya hahanapin.

Bagsak balikat akong pumasok sa mansion. I went upstairs at naabutan kong nakabukas ng bahagya ang office ni Lolo. I knew my lolo was out of the country kaya bumuo agad ng paghinala sa utak ko. I quietly took my step inside. It was dark, yet i am a vampire, i can see. Una kong napansin ay ang bukas na bintana ng office, ramdam ko ang lamig ng hangin na pumapasok,naglakad pa papalapit sa bintana, i felt someone, i felt presence around me. Hindi ako kumibo at nanatli sa pwesto ko, nakikiramdam.

My fangs slowly came out, huminga ako ng malalim saka bumaling ng mabilis at iniabang ang braso ko sa sinumang nasa likod ko, pero nasagi niya ang braso ko papalayo. Napatilapon ako sa harapan kaya napaalalay ang kamay ko sa pader, dahil duon agad niyang nahagip ang kabilang braso ko at ikinulong ito sa likod ko. I was able to attack again but he blocked me with his arms wrapping around my shoulders at sa dulo ng kamay niya ay ang matalim na punyal.

Naramdaman ko ang init ng paghinga niya sa leeg at tenga ko. Nanlambot ang tuhod ko sa di mawaring dahilan. "You will bleed harshly if i stabbed you here" tinuro niya ang ilalim na bahagi ng leeg ko sa pagdampi ng punyal nito. I knew that, I am able to heal myself but that spot is quite fatal, sa parting iyon dumadaloy ang dugo at posibleng ikamatay ko o makapaminsala ng malaki kung duon niya ako sasaksakin. Nanatili ako at hindi gumalaw.

"What...what do you want?" i whispered.

Naramdaman kong huminga siya ng malalim. "Don't take the serum you have, ito ang gamitin mo." Pinanindigan ako ng balahibo at nanigas ako ng marinig siya. Naging mas malapit ang katawan naming. Why am i acting this way?

Ibinigay niya sa kamay kong nsa likod ang maliit na bote. "bakit? Bakit kita susundin?" tanong kong muli

Humigpit ang pagkakaikot ng braso niya sa akin, hindi ako nasaktan, bagkus ay gusto ko pang mas higpitan niya ito. "Sino ka ba?"
