THREE.
At dahil puyat ako kagabi, late na ako nagising that's why when I made it to the living room, nakita ko silang lahat as if they're having a meeting. I rolled my eyes. What the hell? Anong kalokohan na naman to? Tuh.
"Morning, little sister." Sabay na bati ni Van at Thean na nasa unahan like they're the president of this meeting.
"What's up?" Bati ko.
"Gagawa tayo ng mga house rules." Galit na sabi ni Thean, tumaas ang kilay ko.
"Woah. Easy, tiger." Sabi ko then I looked at Van, "What's his problem?" I whispered to him.
Van laughed a little then whispered, "Someone ate his pie on the fridge." Natawa na din ako, you could eat all the food in the fridge but never ever eat Thean's pie.
"Bukas na magsisimula ang training natin sabi ni Mom but, we need to set a few house rules." Thean said in his authorative voice and I can clearly sense that he's annoyed. No. Not annoyed. He's fuming mad.
"You are all free to give rules." Sabi ni Thean.
"But," Singit ni Van sabay tingin kay Thean, "Ang gagawing rules lang ay ang rules na fair saating lahat."
"The first rule is never ever eat the pie on the fridge!" Galit na sabi ni Thean, I smirked, kung mahuhuli ang kumain nun I'm sure they'd be dead.
"Okay. Then no one would wander at night." Sabi ng isang hunter, napatingin ako dun sa hunter na katabi niya, yun yung hunter na kausap ko kagabi.
"Fine." Matigas na sabi ni Thean.
"Thean! What if I'm hungry?!" Inis na reklamo ko, natauhan naman si Thean.
Someone chuckled, yung hunter na kausap ko kagabi, "Don't you get the point? You're hungry at gusto mong kumain? Paano kung bigla mo na lang kami sakmalin?"
Tinignan ko siya ng masama, I thought we're friends!!
"Not that kind of hunger, I mean hungry as in hungry, food! Not blood. Kung blood ang gusto ko, then I'd just said 'what if I'm thirsty?'" Sabi ko naman at umirap.
"Sa pagkaka-alam ko, hindi nalalasahan ng mga vampires ang pagkain" Sabi ni Lora, the werewolf girl. I rolled my eyes at her. Tama na ang sasabihin niya kung hindi lang siya malaking tanga.
"That rule only do for pureblood assholes like him" Sabi ko sabay tingin kay Ken Hawkings na nakangisi na ngayon, "And I'm not a pureblood." Dagdag ko.
"How about we put up a main rule? No one should kill one another." Van suggested, sensing that this conversation might turn into a freaking useless argument.
"You're not the leader--" I cutted Lora off.
"Bullcrap, we don't need a leader. We just need cooperation to work this out." Sabi ko naman.
"Okay then. Tapos na tayo sa house rules shit, I'm hungry" Sabay tayo nung Nephilim.
"Who said we're done here?" Nagbabantang tanong ni Thean, I saw a flicker in the Nephilim the bitch's eyes as if she's shocked that Thean just used that kind of voice at her.
We sat there for another hour dahil pinagtatalunan namin ang mga household chores, in the end, we've decided to do it in pairs every day but...
"I've been thinking Thean, hindi natin pwede ipair ang mga kakilala natin, maybe we should pair those who loath each other. Like Azrael and Jirve." Pagsa-suggest ni Van.
"Van." Tawag ko sakanya, "Your idea is--"
"Awesome." Biglang singit nung hunter na kausap ko kagabi. Hell no! It is not awesome, never!
Some of us agreed but some didn't. Of course me and Thean didn't agree. What if while I'm cleaning some psycho dog attack me with its smelly claws?
I need Van to see reasons for this!
"Don't you see it? Pinadala tayo dito to train our teamwork." Azrael said.
I glared at him, "Yeah. Teamwork. Perfect. Kasama ba dyan sa teamwork na yan ang pagsisinungaling sa isa't isa?" I asked him at natahimik naman siya, the nephilim bitch looked at me.
"Alexa" Said Van in a warning tone, "I need you to cooperate. Paano tayo magkakaron ng teamwork if even on the simple things we can't do it right?"
"Van, I agree to your shits but don't force Alexa." Thean said, thank God Thean is on my side.
Natahimik si Van until, "Fine. But Alexa will be the last one to choose her partner para fair sa lahat."
So they chose and Ken the ass and Lora the werewolf bitch are partners. Magpartner naman si Azrael at Jirve the demon. Yung Nephilim partner niya yung isang demon na lalaki. Van chosed the hunter one and Thean chose the werewolf boy.
So only me and that hunter on that night.

"Hey, you, freaking hunter, dun pa sa banda dun." I demanded and he willingly obliged.
"Tsk. Malas lahat ng makakapartner mo sa paglilinis." Inis na sabi niya before wiping his sweat off his forehead.
I rolled my eyes, "Well, you're being an idiot right now. Kung ayaw mo ay bakit mo ko sinusunod?"
Siya lang kasi ang naglilinis. Well, he freaking deserved it. And besides, I am a vampire. You can't make me do whatever you want me to do.
Ayon kasi kay Lora the dog, "Kayo dapat ang maunang maglinis since pinagbigyan ka na."
Like, what a bitch, right? Pasalamat siya at hindi pa ko nakakakita ng silver since the day I've met her because if that happens, she'll end up as a dog stew.
"And, how did you know my name?" Biglaang tanong nung hunter na kasama ko ngayon.
I gave him a confuse look, "Excuse me, di ko nga alam pangalan mo" Sabi ko and then he laughed.
Anong nakakatawa? "Well, kakasabi mo lang, "Hey, you, freaking hunter"" sabi niya, inirapan ko siya.
"Alin dun sa apat ang pangalan mo? Is it the freaking, hey, hunter or you?" I asked stupidly though alam ko na kung ano.
His name is freaking Hunter!! Bagay yun sa job niya. If you made a statement about him, it will be: "Hunter is a hunter." Sounds stupid.
"What do you think? Alam ko naman na hindi ka tanga." Sabi ni freaking Hunter sa'kin.
"Good for you, alam mo na hindi ako tanga." Sabi ko sakanya, he chuckled.
And for some reason, I smiled sheepishly.
"Hi, Lex" Napalingon ako, it's Thean, and he's smile is not so awesome.
"Why are you smiling like that?" Tanong ko sakanya habang naka-taas ang isang kilay at mas lalo pa siyang ngumiti ng malaki, "... and you're sweaty."
Agad kong narealize kung ano ang dahilan kung bakit siya nakangiti ng malawak, "Did you hook up with someone?" Nandidiri kong tanong.
Tumawa si Thean at kinindatan ako, "That werewolf girl was awesome." Sa inis ko ay binato ko siya ng tsinelas.
Unfortunately, nakailag siya at mas lalo pang tumawa, "Don't worry Vanellope, hindi naman kami couple"
Galit ko siyang tinignan, I know that Thean is a flirt and a whore but hooking up with that bitch is the worst thing he did.
"You freaking whore!!" I shouted at him at nilayasan doon.
Wow. This is the worst summer I've ever experienced!
First, I found out that Azrael is lying to me the whole time and he's hooking up with that nephilim bitch. And now, Thean hooking up with the werewolf bitch!
Sino susunod? Si Van? Anong gagawin niya na ikadi-disappoint ko? Ugh! I hate this place already kahit wala pa akong isang linggo.
"Someone is mad." Napalingon ako then I saw him, with Jenna.
"Long time no see, Alexandra Vanellope" Bati niya habang nakangiti.
"Cody..."banggit ko
