The Vampire Prince and the Vampire Hunter

Chapter 9

The Death of the Vampire Prince

Eliz and I ate our dinner in silence. Kahit nung makabalik kami sa dorm room di pa rin siya umiimik. She just changed her clothes and then went to bed.

Ako naman hinintay ko lang na makatulog siya saka ko kinuha ang dagger ko and then I went off.

This is it

I have to do this

Para 'to sa lahat ng taong malapit sa akin. I'll save them from all their miseries. I'll save my self from my own misery

When I got into the Saint Claire building kung nasan naglalagi si Malcolm nakita ko sa entrance sina Cross and Zero at mukhang malaki ang pinoproblema nila

"He's in a really bad mood tonight" Cross said

Pero di ko siya pinansin

Dumiretso na ako ng lakad at nilagpasan sila

"Tss! Girls are so difficult to understand!" I heard him say at sunod kong narinig ang tawa ni Zero at ang walang tigil na pangungutya niya kay Cross

Umakyat ako sa napakalaki at napakalawak na hagdanan. The place was breath taking. Ang interior ay Victorian inspired. Para akong nasa palasyo ng mga dating hari sa Englatera.

Ilang hakbang pa at narating ko na ang pinto ng kwarto ni Malcolm. It was huge at napakadelicate ng disenyong nakaukit roon.

Kakatok pa lang sana ako pero agad na bumukas ang pinto at naramdaman ko ang marahas na paghila sa katawan ko

Sinalubong ako ng yakap ni Malcolm

"I'm sorry" he said habang yakap yakap ako ng mahigpit

"I thought hindi ka na babalik sa akin. I know what I did was really out of line. I'm sorry Astrid. I'm sorry"

Lumayo ako sa kanya and smiled at him nagulat ata siya kaya't parang siyang nabato sandali

"Let's get inside, Malcolm" sabi ko kanya saka ko siya tuluyang tinulak papasok sa loob ng madilim niyang kwarto and closed the door behind me

The room was still the same

It was dark at tanging ang ilaw mula sa nakabukas na lampshade lamang ang nagbibigay liwanag sa lugar na iyon. The bed was still there. I can still remember the smell of the sheets when I woke up on that bed.

I stepped forward and examined the room a little more. At nakita kong may flower vase roon na naglalaman ng isang kakaibang rosas dahil kulay black ito. Hindi naman ito lanta talagang purong itim ang kulay ng rosas. I never knew roses like those existed.

"You are acting strange Astrid Turner, why are you here?" Malcolm said, I turned to him. Nakapameywang siya and he looked like he's a lost puppy na parang gulong gulo sa mga pangyayari.

He then looked at me and I smiled again as I walk towards him at tinulak siya sa pader roon

Then I kissed the side of his lips

This is what I'm good at

I seduced vampires and then I kill them

Malcolm lifted my chin and he looked down at me passion is evident in his eyes.

"Answer me" he demanded, I looked at his lips and then I bit mine before turning my gaze back at his blazing electric blue eyes. Kahit madilim malinaw ko pa rin iyong nakikita.

I stared at his face. He is so beautiful. Normal pa kaya sa bampira yun? For a monster like him, he was sexy and hot as fire.

"You were right Malcolm, I am attached to you" I finally answered and then I just felt his lips crashed into mine

Mint

I'll never get sick of tasting this vampire's lips. They tastes and smells like mint

Nakakalasing ang halik na binibigay sa akin ni Malcolm and it took almost all of me to pull my self together at para paalalahanan na rin ang sarili ko na this was just an act

I still have to kill him, no matter what

Nagpalit kami ng pwesto ni Malcolm. Ako na ngayon yung nakasandal sa pader and we did not even break the kiss kaya nung naghiwalay kami halos higupin ko na yung lahat ng hangin sa kwarto.

Bumaba ang halik niya sa leeg ko as I felt his hands na nagtataas-baba sa bewang ako as if nagtatalo sila kung tataas pa ba sila hanggang dibdib ko o mags-stay na lang sila doon

"Drink my blood, Malcolm" I told him and soon enough naramdaman ko na naman ang pagbaon ng pangil niya sa pinong balat ng leeg ko

And it's starting all over again

The pleasure of having this vampire suck every onze of my blood

I reach for my dagger under my skirt and I pulled Malcolm closer to me. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang init ng katawan niya ng magkadikit ang katawan namin, funny because he's dead and he's supposed to be cold. Then bakit may init akong nararamdaman?

Itinaas ko ang kamay ko sa likod ni Malcolm, I'll stab him in the back, literally. Humaba ang dagger ko at naging knife ito

Itinutok ko iyon sa likod ni Malcolm sa kung nasaan ang puso niya

And not wasting any more second, sinaksak ko ito kay Malcolm. Tumagos ang kutsilyo na nasaksak pa nito ang dibdib ko, nagkaroon ako ng maliit na sugat roon kaya nagdugo ito.

Then I let a tear fall

Naramdaman ko ang pag-angat ng ulo ni Malcolm upang mapantayan ang mukha ko. I was surprised to see his infamous smirk at times like this. I just pierced a knife on his heart at may gana pa siyang umismik.

"Sneaky little vampire hunter" were his last words before he turned into ashes before my very eyes.
