THIRTY-FIVE.
"We need to find Adam's twin." Azrael said as he pace back and forth the room for, like, the thousandh time.
I rolled my eyes, "I know. How many times do I have to tell you, Azrael? Calm the fucking down." Inis kong sabi sakanya, my eyebrows were knitted.
"Pero san tayo magsisimula?" He asked me.
I kept quiet for a while, I think I just did. My eyebrows knitted and as I think about what happened in Holmesburg Prison. Purple eyes. Covered face. Little savior.
"I think I just saw Adam's twin." I mumbled, remembering the things that happened in that Holmesburg Prison.
Azrael looked at me with wide eyes, "When? Where?" He asked frantically, inirapan ko siya. Tuh. Irritating. Parang baguhan sa paghahunt. Tuh.
"I've been stabbed in the back by some vampire, namatay na lang bigla ang bampirang iyon, and then I saw him or her. Whatever. It have this purple eyes." Kwento ko kay Azrael while remembering what I saw.
He nodded and stared at nowhere with his dark eyes like he's thinking.
"I think we need to go back to Holmesburg Prison" I mumbled.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I asked Azrael when I saw him stumbled when we teleported in here.
He looks like he's so tired. He looked like a panda because of his big, deep and dark eyebags. He's even pale for crying out loud. Angels shouldn't have a pale skin but Azrael's are like the ones in our kind, the vampires.
He nodded while panting, "I'm fine." He answered.
I rolled my eyes, "Oh please Azrael, tell me everything! Ngayon ka pa ba magsisinungaling?" I irritatingly asked, nakakainis lang kasi na paulit-ulit siyang nagsisinungaling, we're bestfriends for crying out loud!
Tinignan niya ako, "Since they casted me out, my powers have been a little bit shaky, I think I'm losing it slowly." He sadly confessed.
My mouth fell, "What?!"
He nodded, "Oh Azrael, hindi mo na dapat ginamit ang kapangyarihan mo! We should just commuted!" Sabi ko sakanya, feeling sorry for him.
I don't know what to do to comfort Azrael, Heaven is his home and now he've been cast out, for sure that's a big change in his life.
"Azrael, promise me you won't use your powers again. It's making you weak." I stated as I stare at him concernedly.
Dahan-dahan siyang tumango, "Don't worry."
"Let's go inside." He muttered, I rolled my eyes and entered the prison.
Nilibot namin ni Azrael ang buong lugar pero wala talaga kaming nakita, I can't even sense anyone here.
"Damn it. Wala ba talaga?" Inis kong bulong.
Pumasok kami ni Azrael sa isang kwarto. The lights are on at may mga gamit din na nakakalat. There's a comforter and a pillow on the floor at mukhang kakagamit lang noon. It's as if may tao dito. I looked around, wala namang tao.
I stopped in a halt.
I sensed someone.
"Azrael, someone's coming." I whispered at him while staring at the door and trying to sense it more.
Tumango siya, "I'll use my po--"
I stopped him, "You idiot! Nanghihina ka na nga ay gagamitin mo pa? Just stay by my side."I whispered at him and then turned into my vampire form to sense them clearly.
