A Seductress' Misery
Astrid's POV
Nagising ako sa malambot na kama at mabangong aroma ng paligid. Bumalikwas ako at tumambad sa akin ang mainit at umuusok na isang tasa ng kape sa lamesa. Napangiwi ako ng bahagya nang maramdaman ko ang pagkirot ng aking ulo. Sandali kong ipinikit ang aking mga mata at parang isang eksena sa telibisyon ang nakita ko.
Alex being hit by a car, broken glasses everywhere, blue fire and Adrian. I saw a vision of myself begging at Alex to spare his life. I even apologized which I've never done before just to stop him. The last thing I saw was Adrian clawing at Alex's hands off his neck. His face getting paler and paler by the second until it was all black then I felt myself being lifted then nothing.
"No!!!" I screamed as I open my eyes. Adrian. Kailangan ko siyang makita. Kailangan kong malaman kung ano ang nangyari sa kanya.
Ripping the blanket off me, I left the room running to the hallways, barefoot. I'm hysterical as I find the way out of this long hallways. I ran faster knowing I don't have much energy but I was determined to see him until my legs gave up and I closed my eyes bracing myself for the impact when strong arms wrapped around my waist and I know exactly who he is.
"Wag mo akong hawakan. Let me go!" I screamed and started thrashing against Alex's hold.
"Calm the f*ck down Astrid."
"No. I hate you. Don't touch me, please." By that time I lost all my energy to fight against him. Thankfully, he let me go at napaluhod nalang ako sa sahig.
I don't even have the energy to curse him, to fight him or even glare at him. Ang alam ko lang ay galit ako sa kanya. Ramdam ko ang matinding pagkamuhi kay Alex pero wala akong magawa.
"Astrid." Sinubukan nitong lumapit sa akin at hawakan ang balikat ko ngunit umiwas ako.
"Don't."
"Move on, Astrid. He's gone."
"Anong ginawa mo sa kanya?" Nanghihina kong tanong.
"Hindi mo na kailangang malaman kung ano ang ginawa ko sa kanya. All you have to know is he's gone." Simpleng sagot nito na nakadagdag sa pagkamuhi ko sa kanya.
"You killed Adrian, didn't you?" I asked looking directly at his piercing eyes with so much hatred. He remained silent and that's all I needed to confirm it.
"I begged you, Alex. I begged you to spare his life, didn't I? Why do you have to kill him?"
"We both know what will happen to that human once I've learned you've been going out with him yet you still went with him. I'm a pureblood, Astrid. Ayoko nang may kaagaw." Kalmadong sagot nito ngunit alam ko na matindi ang galit niya.
"That's why it's my fault! He didn't know that I'm a blood sucker but I still wanted to see him. Hinding hindi mo maiiintindihan kung bakit ko ginawa iyon because you are selfish. You think everything revolves around you." I couldn't stop myself from going out with Adrian because I've been longing for my family.
Dalawang daang taon akong namuhay nang mag-isa at walang pamilya. Dala-dala ang ala-ala ng pagkamatay ng lahat ng mahal ko sa buhay. Kaya nang makita ko si Adrian, hindi ko na napigilan ang aking sarili dahil nakikita ko sa kanya si Liam. Ang unang lalaking minahal ko.
"Alam ko kung bakit pilit ka paring nakikipagkita sa lalaking iyon kahit na isa siyang tao at kahit na alam mo ang mangyayari sa kanya kapag nalaman ko. Alam kong lahat ang dahilan, Astrid. I just couldn't accept it."
"Liar. How could you know? You don't know anything about me." He was just a selfish, conceited pureblood that kidnapped me and claimed possession over me. He never even asked anything that concerns me. How did I became a vampire? Why do I kill vampires? He never once asked these questions. He clearly doesn't care. So how could he possibly know the reason about Adrian? He's obviously lying and I hate it so much that he can casually lie in front of me like it wasn't a big deal.
"I hate to see you like this, Astrid pero wala na akong magagawa. What's done is done." He lifted me bridal style and walked back to our room.
Gusto ko siyang saktan, sigawan ngunit wala na akong natitirang lakas para gawin ito.
"Put me down, Alex. I don't want you touching me with the same hands that you used to take his life." I am so hopeless as I feel my eyes go heavy and tears start to flow down my cheeks.
I sobbed against his chest. Crying for Adrian. For his wasted life. And it was all because of me.
"It's all my damn fault. You killed him because of me. He was a kind man, Alex. He had a soft heart which I admired so much. Adrian spends his days curing sick people for free. Most of this people depends on him. Ano nang mangyayari sa kanila ngayon? Why'd you have to take his life, Alex? Why? I hate you, Alex but I'm hating myself more."
I sobbed as he lay be back down the bed gently and wiped my tears with his thumb.
"Stop crying. He don't deserve your tears."
I looked away from him until he left the room leaving me alone in my misery.
