Ang Boyfriend Kong Mummy Na, Vampire Pa (Published Under Precious Pages)

Chapter 58 - The Awakening

Pagkatapos ng ritual, umakyat uli ako sa third floor para punatahan si Sir Rusty.

"How are you?" tanong ni Sir Rusty nang umakyat ako sa living room.

"Ok naman po. Medyo nahihilo lang pero all good. In three days time, we can start the next ritual. Naalala na po ba ni Magawen kung saan niya tinago ang white diamond necklace ng Punong Babaylan?"

"Yes, but it is in a very dangerous place," sabay bigay niya sa akin ng isang fresh orange juice.

"What do you mean dangerous? Parang Afghanistan or Syria?" tanong ko kay Sir Rusty.

"It is in an abandoned hotel in St. Moritz, Switzerland."

"Di ba resort yun for the rich and famous?"

"There is an abandoned castle-like hotel in St. Moritz that is well preserved at isolated sa town. Yung area, highly forbidden sa mga tourist. I just spoke with Matthias and he confirmed that na ang lugar na yun ay meeting place ng mga royal vampires."

"It means that the White Diamond Necklace is in the hands of one of the royal vampires, possibly nasa kamay pa ni Armand. Bakit di na lang nila idestroy ang necklace kung balakid ito sa kanila?" sabi ko sabay sandal sa sofa.

"They can't. Anyone who attempted to destroy the necklace was struck by lightning. It was well kept in that castle for centuries nang makuha nila to kay Magawen."

"Do you think it is a trap? Para ilure ako or si Sage sa castle na yun?"

"Yes, I think so too. But that castle also protects that White Diamond medallion sabi ni Matthias sa akin."

"Kailangan natin magkaroon ng plans before pa magising si Sage."

"Magawen has another plan, but it will require releasing her. She will meetup with her maker and she will stole the necklace herself during the royal vampire meeting that will happen next full moon. She wants you and Sage to go there so you can proceed with the ritual right away."

"Do you trust her Sir Rusty?"

"No, I don't but we do not have other choice. During the royal meeting, the castle is open for the royal vampires and their men. Once the meeting is done, it will be under tight security again. Matthias is on his way to Switzerland. He is doing his best to find out who among the royal vampires are on his side. Kapag nagising na si Sage, you have to leave as soon as possible."

I am not confident with this plan pero napakaliit lang ng window namin para makapasok sa castle. Sabi ni Sir Rusty, it may take years before the next royal meeting. I found out from Uncle Syl na Magawen is also on her way to Switzerland. I hate the fact that we have no choice but to trust her.

It is the third day of his hibernation. Sage should be waking up anytime soon. Pumasok ako sa kwarto kung saan siya natutulog para icheck kung gising na siya. Pag bukas ko ng metallic coffin, wala doon si Sage.

"Are you looking for someone?" sabi ni Sage na biglang lumitaw sa likod.

"Ay kike ka! Grabe ka naman, Sage! Gusto mo ba mamatay ako sa sakit ng puso? Gising ka na pala di mo man lang sinabi sa..."

Di ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko nang humarap ako sa kanya. Napatakip na lang ako ng bibig na makita siyang nakatayo na walang kahit anong saplot.

"Wala ka ba balak magbihis man lang? Ano ka baby?" tanong ko sabay talikod sa kanya. 

Ano ba naman tong lalakeng to? Nakahubad na parang sanggol. Three days ko siya hindi nakita, hindi ba niya alam na missed na missed ko na siya?

"Did you miss me?" bulong niya sa akin.

"Not really. How are you feeling? Do you feel any blood lust?" tanong ko sa kanya habang nakatalikod sa kanya.

"Let us see," mahina niyang sabi habang lumalapit sa likod ko. Unti unti niyang hinawi ang buhok ko at nilapit ang mga labi sa leeg ko.

"Wwag mo ssabihin sa akin, hhindi nagwork ang sspell?" natataranta kong sabi nang maramdaman ko na dumadampi ang labi niya sa leeg ko. 

Bago pa siya sumagot, binaon niya ang mga fangs niya sa leeg ko as he savor my blood.

"It actually worked," mahinahon na sabi niya after ilang sandali.

"What? It did?" tanong ko sabay harap sa kanya.

"Yes, it worked. I no longer feel the need to devour you when you are near me. I think I can even live without drinking any blood; nevertheless, your blood tastes really good," sabi niya sabay ngiti ng pilyo.

"Gumana naman pala bakit kailangan mo pa ko kagatin?" sabay hampas ko sa kanya.

"Eh namissed kita, ano magagawa ko?" sabi niya sabay yakap sa bewang ko. Wala man lang pakialam kahit wala siyang kahit anong suot.

"Kailangan na natin umalis. Nasa Switzerland daw ang white diamond medallion necklace sabi ni Magawen."

"Switzerland?"

"May headquarters ang mga royal vampires and the necklace is located there. Once in a decade, may royal meeting na tinatawag. Doon lang daw nagbubukas ang headquarters. Once na matapos na ang meeting, isasarado ang headquarters at wala daw nakakapasok dun dahil protected ng state of the art technology. Even a powerful vampire like you cannot enter that fortress."

"When is the meeting?" tanong niya habang di pa rin ako binibitawan.

"On the next full moon. Sir Rusty already prepared our papers. We will be using fake identities. Nakaprepare na din lahat ng gamit sa rituals. Ang white diamond necklace na lang ang kulang at saka ikaw. So, pwede magbihis ka na? Three days ka na di naliligo eh!"

"Mabango pa naman ako di ba?" sabay yakap niya sa akin ng mahigpit.

"Eeewww! Lumayo ka nga, oily pa yung skin mo!"

"Namissed nga kita, gusto kita ihug!"

"Sage, ready na ang chopper. Nakabook na ang international flights niyo today ni Reichel. Silawin and I will take the red-eye flights tonight. Nasa bag ni Reichel ang hotel booking details," sabi ni Sir Rusty na biglang lumitaw sa pinto.

Gusto ko itulak si Sage dahil awkward na may lalaking nakahubad na nakayakap sa akin, pero mas lalo pa niya ko kinulong sa mga braso niya.

"Thanks, Rusty. I'll be there in a few minutes," casual na sabi ni Sage na walang pakialam kahit wala siyang saplot.

"Nakakainis ka!" hampas ko sa braso niya ng makaalis si Sir Rusty.

"Ano na naman ginawa ko?" pa-innocent effect niyang tanong sabay bitaw sa akin.

"Ano na lang iisipin ni Sir Rusty sa ating dalawa. Wala ka pa man din na damit."

"Iisipin niya na namissed mo ko ng sobra kaya ka andito."

"Magbihis ka na. Naghihintay na daw yung chopper."
