OBSESSION: Bloody Romance [MAJOR EDITING]

CHAPTER 1

Chapter 1: Broken Memories.

I shut my eyes, then opening them again. Deep inside my memories, I want to dive beneath and remember everything, but seems like I always end up nothing. No matter how hard my attempt was, there's only a blank universe under my head..

Halos limang minuto na akong nakatitig sa kisame, wondering the nothingness and hoping that from there, the lost sceneries will come to life. Hinilamos ko ang isang kamay sa mukha ko at pa-ika ikang bumangon sa kama.

Nang marating ko ang Comfort Room, naghilamos ako at nagsipilyo. I grabbed the blue towel on the steel holder and rinse my face. I stared at my reflection on the mirror like dragging into a staring contest. I had a pair of ocean eyes with pointed nose and rosy pink lips. My complexion is white as snow. I keep my long straight hair, cascading down my waist tamed all the time.

"Who are you?" tanong ko sa sarili.

Instead of making dramas, I went downstairs to set my routine. The clock is ticking at paniguradong mahuhuli na naman ako sa klase kapag nag muni muni ako.

Every day is mundane. I woke up from the bed, eat my breakfast and strode to school.

Kapag itinapak ko na ang paa ko sa labas ng bahay, my other persona manipulates me. Unlike others, I had a bad social status. Hirap akong humanap ng kaibigan, pero hindi ibig sabihin no'n wala akong kaibigan. My hostile treatment towards everything pushes them away from me.

My presence is likewise to a wind, hindi napapansin, ignored by many. To their judgemental eyes, I was some kind of weirdo creature popped out of nowhere. Marami ring natatakot sa 'kin. Not because I'm a member of gang or involved myself on illicit deeds, but because of my brutal mindset. And when I say brutal.

Gano'n ako kataray

Gano'n ako katapang

I don't even know why I exist. Basta ang alam ko lang, vampires exist and thus we, the hunters also exist to opposed them. We're here to set balance the world of humans.

Currently, I was reclining my back on the same spot I used to sit on everyday in the library. Sparing my little time reading books habang hindi pa oras ng klase. I am into mystery books, cause I like to stimulates my mind with puzzles and other mystery stuffs.

I was in a middle of unveiling the culprit, when someone called my name. Hindi ako nag abalang lumingon. Pero may nagbanggit na naman, kaya kunot noo kong nilibot ang mata sa loob ng library without moving my neck.

Wala masyadong estudyante at tao, maliban sa librarian na nagbabalik ng ilang libro sa bookshelves. Bumalik ang tingin ko sa binabasa at nagpatuloy.

"You are mine.."

Tumigil ako sa pagbabasa ng mag echo ang katagang 'yon sa ulo ko na parang nasa loob lang ng library ang nagsabi nito. Umiling iling pa ako bago isarado ang libro. Tahimik akong tumayo at naglakad papunta sa book section kung saan ko kinuha ang libro.

A white piece of paper sway down from the book. I knelt down to pick it up. Kumunot ang noo ko nang tingnan ang nakasulat dito.

I'm watching darling.

And to my horror, it was written in blood. Pa simple kong inipit ang papel sa libro at luminga linga sa paligid kung may nakatingin.

What the hell.

Sino naman kaya ang gagawa nito?

And hell, this must be a message to someone. A stalker perhaps.

Hinyaan ko na lang 'yon and headed to my classroom. Three hours passed before the lecture ended. Naging maingay na naman ang paligid ng makalabas ang guro. Everybody was back to their own business again.

My next class supposedly Chemistry. My Chemistry book was still in the locker. And I have to spend a few more energy to get there, just by walking.

Kinuha ko ang nakasandal na bag sa ilalim ng lamesa at ipinatong sa ibabaw ng table. I leaned my head against the wall next to me, nasa bandang sulok ang upuan ko kaya katabi ko ang puting pader. 

Hinugot ko ang puting headset mula sa bulsa at maingat na inilagay sa magkabilang tainga. In this way, I can relax and trash all the fatigue in my mind. I was listening to Mozart classical musics which I prefer, those helps me to steeñr away from the reality.

By exactly twelve o'clock I went to the locker room. The hallway supposedly filled with students getting stuff on their locker, but today was different. Something's off. Napaka tahimik ng pasilyo and there is no one around except me.

Nabibingi ako sa sobrang katahimikan and I wasn't used to this. Hindi naman oras ng klase. But then, instead of making fuss, dumiretso ako sa locker door ko and unlock the--

Na paatras ako ng hakbang when blood trickled down from my locker. The surreal view was completely disturbing. Bumabaliktad ang sikmura ko habang tinitingnan ito.

By stepping back, my back press hard against a solid object.

"Its been awhile my darling."

Kumunot ang noo ko ng marinig ang pamilyar na boses. Lumingon ako, from there a man in my age was smirking back at me. His dishevelled brown hair suits his aristocratic face.

Ang mukhang sa tuwing nakikita ko, gusto kong landing-an ng kamao. I dont know why, I just feel like it would be a perfect punch bag.

We stood in silence, staring against each other. I was after his next move.

Humakbang siya palapit. "Don't you dare!" I hissed.

"Dare what? To reach you?"

Hindi ako sumagot. Dahil kapag lumapit talaga siya, tatakbo ako.

"Tss. Stupid." I rolled my eyes and walked away from him.

"Shana," his cold voice called. Tumigil ako sa paglalakad, pero hindi ko siya nilingon.  "sa uulitin na magkita tayo, I won't let you slipped through my fingers. Better knew that darling."

Hindi ko siya sinagot at tumuloy sa paglalakad na para bang walang narinig. As if he could treat me again!
