The Vampire Prince and the Vampire Hunter

Chapter 82

Blank page

Kayla Gabrielle

Marahas kong ibinagsak ang makapal na libro ng mga spells sa harap ni Malcolm Bloodworth. Tapos na ang klase sa araw na ito and he asked me to meet him para sa update ng ginagawa ko.

"What is this?" He asked sabay buklat ng spell book

"I can't find the spell you are talking about. Sigurado ka bang merong ganun?" I asked sabay upo sa kaharap niyang upuan. Pumapagitna sa amin ang isang pabilog na mesa. He decided to meet me in a cafe upang malayo kami sa mata ng ibang estudyante lalo na sa kapatid niyang si Clad. Hinatid ako ni Vasil rito na agad rin namang umalis.

"Well, that spell is called resurgere" he said habang naglilipat ng pahina sa makapal na libro, "And of course I'm sure na may ganoong spell. At hindi ako magsasayang ng oras sa iyo kung hindi ako sigurado. I won't go to the extent of protecting you from harm and danger, Kayla. I'm not that kind of person.  I'm not up for charities and welfare. You should know that by now" aniya habang matamang nakatingin sa akin

Ngumiwi ako at umirap. Heartless, indeed.

"What is this?" Aniya sabay lahad sa akin noong spell book. Dinungaw ko ito at agad nagsalubong ang aking kilay

"Isn't it obvious? Edi blankong pahina" sagot ko sabay galaw nung straw sa iced tea-ng inorder niya para sa akin.

"I know this is a blank page. But why is it blank?" Aniya sabay lipat ulit ng pahina, "To think na may mga sulat naman ang ibang pahina"

"You're thinking too much. Baka nakaligtaan lang" sabi ko at agad siyang nag angat ng matatalim na tingin sa akin

"Are you really a witch? Dahil hindi ka ganoon mag isip" agad akong naoffend sa sinabi niya, "The spell written on this page is protected. I can feel the magic casted on it" aniya sabay dikit ng palad niya roon sa blankong pahina

"That's impossible! I'm a witch! If this blank page is protected by magic I should be the one who should feel it first" witches uses magic. Pamilyar na pamilyar kami sa pakiramdam nun kaya kung may dapat mang unang makaalam ng pinagsasasabi ni Malcolm tungkol sa pahinang iyan dapat ako yun!

Inagaw ko sa kanya ang libro. And feel the blank page with my palm.

"I don't feel anything" iling iling ko.

"It could only mean one thing, the spell was protected from you" aniya na mas lalo ikinagulo ng utak ko

"Why would my family protect the resurrection spell from ourselves?" Kung ito ang special spell ng aming pamilya bakit ito itatago ng aming mga ninuno? O buburahin?

"Who cares? All I care about now is unlocking that damn spell!" Ani Malcolm na ikinasimagot ko

"Fine! But how?" I asked

"May kakilala akong makakatulong sa atin" he said at akmang tatayo na sana siya nang may biglang umupo sa gitnang upuan. Malcolm cursed and I was too mesmerized to react.

Why is he here?

"Magkasama na naman kayo" he said sabay tingin sa aming dalawa ni Malcolm, "I don't think you'd mind if I join you, right?" He asked at umiling iling ako bilang sagot and he smiled at me...He smiled at me! Shit!

"Why are you here, Clad Bloodworth?" Halatang iritadong tanong ni Malcolm

"I want to know what you're doing" he said as he turn to face Malcolm, "with her" aniya sabay lingon uli sa akin

"Nothing. We're just waiting for Vasil to arrive" ani Malcolm sabay angat nung kanyang cellphone, "Oops! He just texted. He's not coming, Kayla" he said as he look at me, "Let's go" aniya sabay tayo at lakad palabas ng cafe. Liar.
