The Vampire Prince and the Vampire Hunter

Chapter 15

Love, Attachment, Revenge

"Come on Malcolm, admit it. You're jealous"  kanina pa inaasar ni Morgan si Malcolm dahil kanina pa din nila pinapanood sina Clad at Astrid na nag uusap sa veranda and they looked like they're having a good time.

Astrid never laughed when she's with him.

"Why should I be jealous?" he asked Morgan in disbelief. Saka lumayo sa malaking bintana kung saan tanaw ang dalawa at naglakad patungo sa couch at umupo rito. A glass of brandy on his hand

"You have this bond with her. It affects your emotions, you know?" sagot naman ni Morgan

"It's just blood. She can have it, I don't care" Malcolm said with a frown on his face. "I'm handsome. I'm dashing, sexy, smart. I am everything. I can get all the girls that I want. I can get anything that I want" dagdag pa niya

"Except for my hunter"

Marahas na nilingon ni Malcolm si Morgan na nagpipigil ng tawa

"Kailan siya naging iyo?"

"She's my hunter. Kasapi siya sa organisasyong itinayo ko"

"Well, can't argue with that" he said in defeat as he toast his glass into the air

"And speaking of girls. Let's go out and have fun. Ngayon lang ako makakapag enjoy ngayong gising na yung kapatid mo. I feel so old" Morgan said as he got up from the couch at nag-inat ng kaunti

"Don't flatter yourself a-sshole. Old for you is an understatement" –Malcolm, "At bakit ba kasi ginusto mo pang gisingin yun"

"Because I want to go home. And I need the both of you for that spell to work"

"Tara na! Dahil hindi na naman ako makakapag enjoy kapag nagsimula na ang plano ng magaling mong kapatid"

"Kung hindi ko lang kayo kilala ni Clad iisipin kong may relasyon kayo. You're always helping each other. Bromance to the highest level, napag iiwanan ako"

"You're the brother. I'm the bestfriend"

"I thought we're the bestfriends"

"Let's go! Jacka-ss"

"Whatever, a-sshole"

***

It was almost midnight. Astrid spent the whole afternoon with Clad Bloodworth dahil nung hinanap nila ang dalawa ay di nila ito nakita kaya naman nag usap na lamang sila tungkol sa mga bagay bagay.

Astrid was sitting on her bed writing on her journal when someone barge into her door.

"Ooops! Wrong door"

It was Malcolm, mukhang lasing ito at nakaakbay ito sa isang babaeng kitang kita na ang buong kaluluwa sa suot nito.

"Sorry I thought this was my room. You know I'm drunk" Malcolm said at tinaasan lamang siya ng kilay ni Astrid. Malcolm closed the door at napailing na lamang si Astrid. May bago na naman siyang masusulat tungkol kay Malcolm Bloodworth.

"I thought you don't get drunk" agad na sabi ng babaeng kasama ni Malcolm when he closed the door. Nauna namang maglakad si Malcolm patungo sa kwarto niya at pinagbuksan ang babae.

He's not drunk. Nakainom lang but he knows what he is doing. And he knows na kwarto ni Astrid ang binuksan niya. Gusto lamang niyang Makita ang magiging reaksyon ni Astrid kapag nakita siya nitong may kasamang babae. He's really upset. D-amn that blood bond! Pinahihirapan siya ng mga emosyon niya.

"I do not get drunk. This is my room get inside and let's have fun tonight" sabi niya sa babae, masaya naman itong tumango at pumasok sa loob na sinundan din ni Malcolm.
