A/N : SPG...
"He will kill you. Definitely,"
It was a woman's voice. I can hear it clearly.
Nakatalikod siya sakin. Her half body is covered in sheets but I'm sure she was naked underneath.
Hindi iyon katulad sa mga vision na nakikita ko. Mas malinaw ang lahat.
Alaala.
Probably.
"I don't care, Elle,"
Elle. I know now.
It was Blade's memories. At ang babaeng nakahiga sa kamang yon ang girlfriend niya.
I can see it because he gave me his blood. Sinalin niya sa akin yon doon sa gubat noong agaw buhay na ako.
He came. He found me. He saved me.
I still remember the taste on my mouth. It was rather odd, ordinary human blood was bland, his was thick and sweet.
"I would rather die than live without you."
Gustong sumabog ng puso ko sa sakit. She's already dead, alaala nalang ito. Pero ang sakit paring isipin na mas nauna itong minahal ni Blade. At siguro, hanggang ngayon mahal parin.
Dinig ko ang paghinga nang malalim ni Elle. Marahan niyang hinawi ang mahabang buhok at nakita ko ang tattoo niya sa kamay.
She was a hunter too.
"Bakit ako? Sa kabila nang nangyari sa akin, sa kabila nang trabaho ko, bakit ako? Bakit tanggap mo parin ako?"
"I should asked you that, Elle," it was his voice again. I saw his hand carressed Elle's soft naked skin on her back.
She must be so beautiful, I thought. Lalo akong nanlumo.
"Sa kabila nang mga nagawa ko sayo. All the pain. All the lies and the deceptions. You still choose to me....You still choose to forgive me."
Lies? Deceptions? What did Blade do?
A flash of light blinded me. Nawala ang alaalang iyon sa paningin ko. Napalitan ng kadiliman.
I know this place. Ito yung lugar na pinuntahan namin ni Bullet noon.
Hotel Carina. Kakaiba nga lang at bago pa ang mga sasakyan nakapark doon. Isa pa, puno-puno iyon ng amoy ng dugo.
"Elle, please..don't...don't leave me. It's all over now.. Come back. Come back. I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I'm so sorry..."
Blade voice were mixed with grief and utter desperation.
Elle's lifeless body was on his lap. There was blood all over her. The only covering on her was a black coat pero pati iyon basang-basa na din ng dugo.
She was naked, bloodied and bruised.
I know what happened.
She was a hunter, I know, but nobody deserves to die that way.
"Elle...please..."
I saw the familliar dagger on the ground. The one with our symbol. Alam kong iyon ang pumatay kay Elle.
"Come back..Come back to me...I love you."
"B-Blade..." I whispered.
I suddenly feel like floating. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Napuno na naman nang liwanag ang paligid ko. Napapikit ako sa silaw.
"Nia.."
It was Blade's voice again. This time napakalapit na noon sa akin. I can feel his heat against my skin. His breathe on the back of my neck.
