A/N: I'm updating as much as I can since Midterm exam ko na next week. Anyway, enjoy! \(* o *)/
"Trust me, the world doesn't care unless you're pretty or dying."

"ARE YOU OKAY?"
I looked over my shoulder to see who asked me. I didn't bother replying when I saw that it's just a man. Wala ako sa mood makipag-usap. Pinaalala pa kasi nung Aither na 'yon 'yung pinagdaanan ko nung giyera. Bad trip.
"Hindi mo naman siguro planong tumalon diyan no? Masasaktan ka lang tsaka sayang ang buhay mo. Marami ka pang pwedeng gawin sa buhay mo." Unti-unting lumalapit sakin yung nag sasalita. Bakit ba? Heightened nga kasi ang senses ko kaya nararamdaman ko siya.
"Kahit naman tumalon ako di naman matatapos ang buhay ko." Tinignan ko siya at ngumiti ng mapait.
"Masasaktan ka pa rin. Tsaka magugulat 'yung mga nasa baba kapag tumalon ka." Pabirong pananakot nitong epal na nakikialam sa pananahimik ko.
"Ano naman sa'yo? Tsaka ba't mo ba ako pinapakialaman?" Bumaba ako sa barandilya ng roof top at humarap sa kanya.
"Easy lang. Concerned lang naman ako sa'yo eh." Okay. Gwapo siya. Pero pakialamero eh. Tsk.
Nag lakad na ako paalis at hindi na siya pinansin. I'll bet my nails that he only approached me because I'm pretty, he knew that that fall wouldn't kill me. According to his scent he has a faint smell of werewolf muskiness in him. I guess he's a descendant of wolves.
Trust me, I've lived long enough to know, people never cared unless your pretty or dying.
He didn't follow me.

PAGPASOK KO SA homeroom ng mga aso- este lobo, bampira, at sorcerers medyo nagkakagulo sila sa kung ano. Dahil naiirita pa rin ako at ang ingay nila di ko na napigilang mag-growl ng sobrang lakas kaya ayon nakatitig lang sila sakin. Umupo na ako ng tahimik at di na sila pinansin hindi naman nakakamatay 'yang mga titig nila eh.
"Uh... Beauregard isn't it?" A chinita brunette standing on the platform asked me.
I raised an eyebrow, "Yeah?"
"Why did you growl?"
"You guys are too noisy with whatever you are doing and I think that it's not necessary for them-" I point to the other purebloods- "to be so chaotic. I know some of us are animals but we're also humans so try to act like one."
The chinita smiled like she saw a new doll or something, "Dismissed. Beauregard, stay."
Nag pulasan na 'yung mga maiingay na aso. Psh. May nakita pa akong ilang member ng The Aristos na kasama do'n sa mga nagkaka gulo. May ilang tumingin sa'kin na parang hinihintay nilang tanggalin ko 'yung ulo nila o kaya parang kabado sila. First time ba nilang makakita ng babaeng kasing ganda ko na nag growl?
"Moree Solace, Second Councilor." She offered a hand and I'm not rude to polite people so I shook it.
"What's the matter, Solace?"
"I need a replacement for my position. I'm afraid I can't be an effective leader anymore for those annoying purebloods." Lumabas kami ng room at nag lakad lakad.
"Why? Are you dealing with something big?"
She nodded happily and smiled, "I'm pregnant."
"Congratulations!"
"Thanks. And being a councilor is stressful there's a bunch of transferees coming next week and I can't handle them." She stopped walking and looked straight to my eyes. "I am considering you as my replacement."
