The Vampire Prince and the Vampire Hunter

Chapter 25

NOTE: What to EXPECT sa 3rd part nitong story? 1) Sobrang gulong Timeline. I might mention dates na hindi tugma o papalit palit sa bawat chapters. 2) Sobrang daming Loopholes. Yup, that one too.

The Unexpected

"Can't believe this is home!" ani Clad saka sinipa ang mga dahon sa nilalakaran nila

Napagpasyahan nilang umalis sa syudad na iyon. Naninibago sila sa ingay, sa usok, at sa mga tao. Ngayon ay tinatahak nila ang daan patungo sa mansion ng mga Bloodworth sa may kagubatan.

"This is home. See this coaxoch, it only exist here in Saphore, specifically here in the Dryad forest" ani Morgan saka pinasadahan ng tingin ang mga puno't halaman na nasa harap niya. Mukhang etong kagubatan na lamang na ito ang hindi pa nagagalaw ng mga tao sa New City.

"You witches are so weird. You memorize every grass you see everywhere" Malcolm commented saka siya tumayo at tumingin sa paligid although wala naman talagang silang makikita roon kundi mga puno dahil nasa loob sila ng gubat.

"I don't know Malcolm but those are herbs not grass, genius" Clad, nagkatinginan sina Malcolm at Morgan. Seems like Clad Bloodworth is not in the mood

"So which way should we be heading?" Clad asked, agad namang tinuro ni Morgan ang timog

"That way" he said. Naunang maglakad si Clad. Morgan asked Malcolm in a hush tone

"What is his problem?"

At nagkibit balikat lang ang huli atsaka sumunod na rin sa kapatid.

"Aah...I can't believe after five hundred years ay malalanghap ko ring muli ang hangin dito sa Saphore" Malcolm, trying to start a conversation with his brother who's acting rather quiet.

Nahalata naman ni Morgan ang nais gawin ni Malcolm and when Clad ignored Malcolm he was trying his best to suppress his laugh kaya naman sinimangutan siya ni Malcolm na mas ikinatuwa naman niya.

Malcolm couldn't take it anymore and so he decided to confront his brother. Hinarangan niya ito kaya napahinto si Clad

"What the heck is your problem!?" ani Clad nang bigla siyang harangan ni Malcolm

"You're acting strange, very quiet I may add. Now what the heck is your problem? Isn't this what you wanted? Ang makauwi tayo, ang makauwi ang lahat ng nadamay sa kagagawan natin?" he asked his brother. Morgan was just silently watching the show. These two 'idiots' never fail to give him entertainment every time they're bickering. Kaya naman sumandal muna siya sa isa sa mga puno roon, mahaba habang usapan pa ang magaganap sa magkapatid na ito.

"Should I leap for joy then or clap my hands? Or cry, maybe?" balik tanong naman ni Clad sa kapatid and Malcolm just smirk at him, "Pero dahil nagtanong ka na lang rin...Astrid Turner"

Tila nalimutan ni Malcolm saglit ang paghinga when Clad said those two words while looking at him in the eye.

"Astrid Turner is gone. We'll never see her again---"

"What did you do to her?"

Muli ay napahinto si Malcolm. Clad really has sharp senses when it comes to the things he is hiding. Kahit anong lihim niya mararamdaman at mararamdaman ng kapatid niyang may itinatago siya.

"And how could you say I did something to her, brother?" he asked smirking

He loves playing with Clad--- teasing him, torturing him.

"Naiilang siya sa'yo---"

"When I think it is more appropriate to ask what exactly did Astrid and I did when you and Morgan were waiting for us in the meadow?"
