Chapter Thirty-seven: Safe zone
- Zeus Achilles -
"Pa, diba malalaman mo naman kung anong rank ang isang Vampire sa tingin lang?"
Zeus crossed his arms over his chest while listening to his little sister bombard their Parents with questions. The program is on going at naka upo sa iisang table ang pamilya nila.
Hati ang atensyon niya ngayon dahil maya't maya niyang nililibot ang kanyang paningin sa buong hall, trying to find Seige. Nagtaka kung bakit wala ito when she clearly told him that she will be at the party earlier this morning. Isinantabi na niya muna ang mga sinabi ni Aiane kanina sa kanya. He doesn't want to think of Seige that way.
"Some can determine a Vampire's rank with one look pero ang iba hindi"
Zues waited for Aiane's answer as she took in their Father's answer.
"Say if you look at her as a Common pero totoo Elite pala siya. Pwede ba 'yon?"
"Your blood will speak for you, sweetheart. Where are all these questions coming from?"
"Sa utak ko, Pa" was Aiane's witty answer bago mag tanong muli. "It's not impossible for Elites and Purebloods to acquire the ability of healing diba?"
"Yes but our bodies have their own way of healing so healing ability is not really needed"
"Since we're speaking of healing, is it possible for a Vampire to have a slow healing process kapag wala pang blood intake for weeks?"
"Why are asking that like you're not one?" Kunot noong tanong ni Zeus. "Our body will heal on its own accord as fast as it can, external or internal wounds man. It will take a few seconds. Unless the wounds are caused by weapons that were made against us then mas mabagal ang healing non. If it's a simple cut or sprain caused by stupidity then gagalin agad yon"
Aiane glares at Zeus before turning to their Father again, "Tama ba siya, Pa?"
"He's right. Why are you asking like you've never had a wound before? Alam mo naman ang healing process natin diba?"
Aiane's brow furrows as she nods, "Oo naman. May naisip lang kasi ako," after a pause she asks again. "May iba pa bang reason bukod sa vampire weapons na pwedeng maka apekto sa healing process natin?"
"Wala na," si Zeus na ang sumagot. It wasn't really new for Aiane to ask so many questions but nagku-curious lang siya kung saan nanggagaling lahat ito. What happened to make her think like that?
"Mag advance ka nalang ng Anatomy sa sunod na school year anak," their Mother butts in. "Ituturo rin naman doon ang Vampire's anatomy kasama na rin ang healing process although basic na yon"
Aiane stopped asking after that. Zeus still couldn't focus on the program dahil ni anino ni Seige ay hindi pa niya nakikita. Dapat pala hindi na niya hinayaang umalis ito kanina. Wala naman itong binaggit kung saan pupunta kaya inisip niya ay mag aayos na ito.
Siya pa nga ang bumili ng damit nito since he already assumed she had nothing to wear. Sabay niyang binili ang dress ni Seige at Aiane.
Aiane's wearing the same dress color as their Mother kaya 'twinning' ang dalawa ngayon. It's like hitting two birds with one stone, dalawa ang napasaya niya sa simpleng damit. Their Mother was ecstatic when she saw Aiane wearing the same dress color. Nagkaroon pa tuloy ng mini photoshoot ang dalawa bago mag simula ang party.
Ganong lang ang naging proseso hanggang matapos ang dinner. Still, he saw no sign of Seige. Simula na ng open mic, si Ezra ang pipili kung sino ang kakanta since Enzo doesn't to participate.
