Fallen Vampire on my Bathtub Book 2: The Hidden Fangs

FOUR

Chapter 4

(I will start using narrative method from now on)

As soon she gained her consciousness, she decided not to open her eyes sa takot na hindi niya magugustuhan ang anumang madatnan ng paningin niya. She wished it was just a nightmare, she's still hoping everything's was just her minds made-up story.

But what happened fortunately filled quarter of her questions. She was saved, thats all she remembered. Ang malamig na hanging humahampas sa kanyang pisngi at ang mahigpit na brasong nakapulupot sa sikmura niya ang nagpabukas ng kanyang mga mata. Napabalikwas siya nang bumungad ang maliwanag na kalye at ang matulin na pagtakbo ng motorsiklo. Her body, instinctly grabbed the hand on her stomach.

He heard her gasped, nanigas ang katawan nito sa gulat at bahagyang sumiksik ang likod nito sa dibdib niya. He can smell her scent perfectly in their position. Nasa unahan ito ng motorsiklo kahit siya ang nagmamaneho. He can't place her on his back dahil nangangamba siyang malaglag ito at hindi na muling mahanap, lalo na at alam niyang naipasa na ni Romanov ang nangyari kay Anulfo, ang kinikilalang lolo ni Ira. His grasp tighten ng maisip ang kinilalang pamilya at asawa ni Ira. He loath them, for what they did and he loath her for what they made her now. But what can he do if the righteous thing to do is to snatch her away from that act.

"Don't move" he whispered when she made the wheels stir on the road

"I-i w-as...I mean..." and then she stayed quiet the whole ride. Hindi na ito muling nagsalita at tahimik na lamang na pinagmasdan ang daan na tinatahak nila.

It was sort of confusing to her, she knew she was being saved, but as she was being captured as an hostage too. She knew, because she's Ira Valdez. She's THE Ira Valdez. Who wouldn't waste an opportunity to hold her captive?

The ride was long that she was feeling uncomfortable. Ang kaninang urbanized na daan ay napalitan na ng hindi sementadong makipot na daan, mapuno at madilim na paligid.

She was being too quiet for a long time and he wanted to know what she's thinking dahil napapansin niya ang pagiikot ng mga mata nito sa paligid. Alam niyang napapansin na ni Ira ang pagiiba nila ng lugar, yet he can't get through her mind.

She can see flickering lights from a far. Iniayos niya ang postura sa anumang pwedeng mangyari sa kaniya. Pakipot ng pakipot at malubak ang daan na tinatahak nila pero hindi nagbabago ang bilis nila. It was dangerous with this speed dahil maari silang bumagsak pero wala lang ito sa lalaking kasama niya.

She saw an upward hill ahead of them at napamura na lang siya ng walang pakundangan na akyatin ng nagmamaneho ito. He did not bother decrease the speed kaya napasubsob siya sa unahan, kung hindi lang siya maagap ay hindi siya makakaatras agad. Ang kaliwang kamay niya ay mahigpit na nakahawak sa binti ng nasa likod at ang isa naman ay nasa leeg ng kasama.

"FUCK!" she screamed and he chuckled in amusement

She's still entertaining he thought.

Marahil ay may mga kaugalian talaga na hindi kayang burahin kahit ilang beses mo itong subukang tanggalin. And he was looking forward for whats more she can show him.

She's being tacky and uptight nang makarating sila sa isang bungad. The place is empty unlike how she expected. The flickering light she saw was just a mere small fire pot. They entered an abandoned building and walk their way downstairs. The place was specially designed, she made sure of that. Napansin niyang nasa pinakaibaba na sila ng gusali ngunit patuloy pa rin sila sa pagbaba ng hagdan.

She can feel her sweat and she was getting bored and lazy. She gets weak too, if she wanted.

"Will you stop?" masungit na sita sa kanya ng lalaki.
