Taming the Vampire

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX

M I L L E R

Axel told me that he feels better. Sabi pa niya na magiging maayos na siya after satisfying the poison's desire to drink human blood. It seems that his family's mansion has allocated blood packs supply for him. Syempre alam ko na hindi pwedeng ganyan na lang siya parati, na hindi pa siya ligtas. As they said that the poison is a slow-moving killing essence that will only effect for a few months after ingestion. Kaya habang kaya pa niya ay nagsisimula nang kumilos si Axel para gumawa ng antidote.

Of course, as someone who used to give him the blood he needed and now his specimen to observe, I still have to stay by his side. Surpassingly, this made my heart glad. But this time, I won't be of much help in stabilizing the poison in his body by giving my blood, but instead, I will be his assistant. Minsan ay tumutulong ako sa lab niya. I don't have much background in their field but I can still catch up with the equipment. Ako ang taga-abot, taga-lagay, at taga-linis ng mga hindi masyadong toxic na bagay.

I've been to his mansion several times. Instead of staying in his condominium unit, sa mansion na niya ako umuuwi-uwi with the help of Kristoff. Nakikisabay pa rin ako sa teleportation ability niya.

Umaga pa kaya nasa eskwelahan pa ako. I am currently transferring rooms. Unlike my personal life, my school life is boring and uneventful kaya wala pa rin akong pinagkaiba dati. I am still the cold and loner Miller. It's been two months kaya may bago na rin kaming schedule ng mga klase. At kung mamalasin nga naman ay mas dumami pa ata ang subjects na magkaklase kami ni Kristoff, a.k.a Axel Wesley.

Malapit na ako sa susunod kong klase nang malayo pa lang ay kitang-kita ko na ang mukha ng lalaking dati ko pa iniiwasan. His lean body is standing tall by the classroom's entrance, and the side of his lips are curved up. Ang makitang maraming tao sa paligid niya ay hindi na bago sa akin, ganun din ang pag-ngiti niya sa mga ito. And his charming smile is both unfamiliar and annoying. He used to be cold and indifferent toward others but his face now screams play with me. He is attracting everyone, especially the girls in the corridor. The once icy cold demeanor he wore is now full of vigor and warm. Ready to invite everyone to have fun.

Yet I don't really have to worry about that because I know this man is not the same man. He is not Axel Wesley, as this one carries a youthful aura than him. Hindi ko alam kung gaano kabata, pero kahit papaano ay alam ko ang pinagkaiba.

"Kristoff," I whispered as I sighed and took a few steps closer.

Nagsilingon sa akin ang mga kababaihan na nakikipag-usap sa kanya. I hate the sight, at isa pa mukhang gusto rin nila akong makausap kay sinamaan ko sila ng tingin. It didn't even took a while for them to get what I imply at nagsipasok na sila sa loob ng classroom.

"Miller, tinakot mo sila," angal sa akin ni Kristoff nang maiwan na siyang mag-isa sa may pintuan.

"Who are those?"

Kristoff excitedly replied, "Mast– Axel's fangirls! Inimbita nila ako sa isang party."

Pinanliitan ko siya ng mata. Listen to this man enjoying the things that are not his.

"Oh. Oo nga pala. Gusto ka rin nilang imbitahan," dagdag pa niya sabay abot sa akin ng isang envelope.

New Semester Party! Come and party with us to open the first week of the new semester!

Ito ang mga salita na nakasulat sa likod ng envelope. Eto na naman sila sa isa ulit walang kwentang pag-aaksaya ng pera. The students' in this university are pretty loaded. They all came from rich families. Sobra-sobra ang pera nila kaya parati rin silang naghahanap ng rason para aksayahin ito. And this year end party is just one of those nonsense money-wasting activities they held every year.
