You

The Chains

GWYLIM'S P.O.V:

Di ako makatulog. Si Yohann naman, di pa nagigising. Ano na kayang oras ngayon? "Where am I?" Yohann asked. Gising na pala sya. "You! The Lady of Castwinstone!" Nagliwanag ang mga pula nyang mata. Tatayo sana ako pero my body was pinned to the ground. "Lady of Castwinstone, you are finally mine!" He exclaimed. "Nasasaktan ako! Let me go!" I begged. Yohann's fangs appeared as he tightened his grip. He's going to bite me! I trembled with fear nang lumapit sya sa leeg ko. Wait. There's no pain at all. Iniwan nya ako while he's cursing himself. "Wala pa rin ang lakas ko. Siguro pag natapos na to." Nakita ko nanaman ang mga matang yan. Ung mata nya kahapon nang nandun kami sa tunnel. They're and lonely. "What are you looking at, Jien?" Jien? Pang-ilan nya na yan. Napatingin sya sa towel sa tabi ko at pinulot yon. Yan ung nilagay ko sa noo nya kagabi. "Did you do this? Why? What are you scheming? Are you doing this on purpose? I have an undead curse on me so don't bother concerning yourself for my welfare." I opened my mouth to explain but no words came out. Kelan pa ako nagkainteres sa sahig? I can feel his eyes on me. Iyakan ko kaya to? "Sorry." He sighed. "I know you have a lot of questions. What do you want to know?" See? Effective!

"Vampire ka ba talaga?" tumango lang sya. "So you suck people's blood?" He didn't speak. Okay. "You mentioned the undead curse earlier, does that mean you won't die no matter what happens?" He looked at me passively. "The vessel of vampires will never perish. It is a vessel where the heart will not beat, and body will not grow. For soul only. Ganyan ako nabuhay for 1500 years . . . alone." Narinig ko ba sya ng tama? "1500?!" He nodded. "My vessel cannot be destroy by what you've read in the books." I nodded. "What is Yurie?" Napalingon sya saken. "Did I said that outloud?" Tinanong nya saken. "She is the woman who made me suffer the greatest pain. Kamukha mo sya, that's all. Napagkamalam lang siguro kita kaya kalimutan mo na." He continued. Greatest pain? She made him suffer? Pero the way na abutin nya ako, napakagentle nya.

"Tapos ka na ba?" Tumango nalang ako. "Teka! Isa pa. Bat gusto mo kong patayin?" Habol ko ng tanong. "I have a goal." Goal? "Does it have anything to do with the flower we have on our body?" Nanlaki ang mga mata nya. "You've seen in already? The mark." Un lang sinabe nya. Mukhang di nya sasagutin. At least, nalaman kong un nga ung mark. So, dahil dun, I am the Lady of Castwinstone. Yohann turned around as a shade of depression swept over him. "I have to kill you to achieve my goal. Pero kelangan ko ng lakas para matapos ko iyon. Kapag nabawi ko na ang lakas ko, papatayin na kita." Magtatanong pa sana ako pero nakaalis na pala sya. "AHHH!" Ansakit ng kamay ko. Parang natanggal ng umalis sya. It's burning! Ansakit! "AHHHHHHHHHH! IT HUUUUURTS!" I'm seriously crying. The pain is unbearable.

Yohann approached me with worry on his face. "Shit, Jien!" Nawala ung apoy pero masakit pa rin. "Sorry. It must hurt very much. I'm so sorry." Di ako makapagsalita kaya tumango nalang ako. Dammit. Can you stop, tears? He took my hand into his for inspection. "It's swelling." Mukha na akong kawawang bata na pinalo ng magulang. "I'm sorry for leaving you." He massaged my hand gently. "I will unchain this. But you can't leave because of the spell I casted a while ago." He chanted a spell to the chain on my hand. Without warning, it was broken. Good God. I love the feeling. Yohann stood and left. Was he worried? Nasaktan din kaya sya?

ISAIAH'S P.O.V:

I injected myself with the vampire serum. "The serum will not last long. I must find Gwylim before I ran out of them. Pero san ako magsisimulang maghanap?" I'm silently praying that she's okay.

STEPHEN'S P.O.V:

Dammit. Their scent ceased. Did he set up a barrier? Yes, I'm also tracking the whereabouts of Yohann. Kelangan ko siyang mahanap no matter what. I will never forgive him. Never!

GWYLIM'S P.O.V:

Gano na ba katagal na umalis sya? Sana nagrelos ako. Ni walang orasan dito. Hinawakan ko ang kamay ko, di na sya namamaga. Di naman talaga importante un e. Di na dapat sya nag-aalala. Nasan na kaya sya? Hay nako, Jien Gwylim. Stop. Gusto kang patayin nung tao. Imposible yang iniisip mo. Biglang may kumatok. Must be Yohann. Pumasok sya. He looks tired and weary. "You stayed." he said. "Baka makalabas ako dito." I sarcastically said. "A very wise choice." He smiled. "I thought you're exhausted but I was wrong. Here. I brought you something." Saka hinagis sakin ung dala nya. Puta. Pagkain! Nagsparkle ang mata ko. Hondomi. "Eat up. Nasa labas lang ako." he left the room. Injured sya pero nagawa nya pa akong bilhan neto. Maybe he's a gentleman after all. God! Nakakatawa na ang iniisip ko. I gave up and fell asleep.
