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

Chapter 71 - Kiss of Death

Mabilis kami sinundo ni Sir Rusty at madali niyang nabuhat si Sage pahiga sa kama. He looks sick and weak.

"It's my fault. Madami ko nainom na dugo niya," mahina kong sabi ko kay Sir Rusty. Si Sage naman ay mahimbing na natutulog sa kama niya.

"It's not your fault. Sage slowly became weak after you left. He is often sleepy. Madalas tulog siya the whole day."

"Pero bakit? Hindi naman siya ganto before," sabi ko habang hinahaplos ang buhok ni Sage.

"Akala ko na depressed lang siya nung nawala ka, but his strength diminished as well."

"Is he sick? Vampires don't get sick right?"

"Nabanggit niya na the same night that Magawen came, he suddenly felt weak. He disregarded it for weeks dahil nakafocus siya sa paghahanap sayo. Pero etong mga huling linggo, he is really getting worse. Tingin niya, there is something on Magawen's lips. Sort of poison na nagpahina sa kanya."

"Ano pang nararamdaman niya aside from weakness?"

"Dizziness lang as if gusto niya matulog forever."

"Sir Rusty, kung sleeping beauty si Sage, there's no way na madedeactivate ang spell."

"You are right. I'm thinking the same thing. Kamusta ang training mo sa Vienna?"

"Po?"

"I know that you're in Vienna with Helda Heilig. Silawin told me about this but we keep it from Sage because of his condition."

"Sir Rusty, paano mo nalaman?"

"I coordinated with Matthias. Nag change outfit ka sa island port and you took another ferry back to the city. We tracked you again and you are going to Vienna. Next time kung magchachange outfit ka, yung bag mo palitan mo. Hot pink ang trolley bag mo, kitang kita sa camera," natatawa niyang sabi.

"Akala ko ang galing ko na, epic fail pala yung plan ko. Gusto ko kasi lumayo kay Sage muna. Hindi ko alam kung ano gagawin ko nung mga panahon na yun. Alam mo naman siguro ang nararamdaman ko para sa anak anak anakan mo," sabi ko habang hinahaplos uli ang buhok ni Sage.

"I know. Silawin told me what happened. Even Sage admitted it. Hinanap ka niya sa island for two weeks. Kahit magbabad siya sa araw, he felt weak. He knew then there's something wrong when he slept for almost one day.

"Di ko naman po alam na may sakit si Sage. Kasi naman, may vial siya ng blood niya and he lured me to drink his blood. Di ko alam na mahina na pala siya."

"Alam niya na galit ka sa kanya. He intentionally did that."

"Ha? Meaning sinadya niya yun at alam mo din?"

"Silawin thinks that we are dealing with the Kiss of Death poison. It is a powerful poison specially made for a vampire or creature of darkness. Since all vampires are immortal, the poison will not kill a vampire but will put him into eternal sleep. In some cases, it will also drain the life out of the victim."

"I agree. Napag-aralan ko din ang mga rare poisons sa Vienna such as Kiss of Death. Sir Rusty, it only means Sage is in real danger."

"The poison can only be made by a White Witch or a Punong Babaylan. In this case, I am assuming it is Magawen who brewed this poison."

"Kiss of Death. Masyado itong powerful to the point na pwedeng mamatay ang taong nagbigay nito."

"The poison can be removed by draining the infected blood of Sage. Isang ritual na pwede lamang gawin din ng isang White Witch or Alagad ni Bathala kung saan magpapalit ng dugo ang vampire victim at ang White Witch. Parang blood transfusion o blood dialysis ang magaganap. But the thing is, the ritual may take days and the poison is already scattered in his system. Kung si Sage ay ordinaryong vampire, hindi kakayanin ng katawan niya ang poison," paliwanag ni Sir Rusty.

"White witches can create powerful poison, pero para balanse ang lahat, they also need to create a cure. This type of cure is sort of impossible na mangyari. Sinong White Witches ang willing makipagpalit ng dugo sa isang vampire?"

"Ikaw, Rei. I am positive you are willing to save Sage. The only person capable of doing the ritual is yung may blood ng Punong Babaylan or White Witch. We will die if we try to absorb the poison. Magawen is still alive because part of the Punong Babaylan blood is within her.

"Do you think it will work? Vampire na din po kasi ako."

"It is not a guarantee, pero it is our only chance dahil wala na tayong oras. Drink his blood and he will drink yours. You might need to do it a few more times pag nakarecover na si Sage. You trained with a White Witch in Vienna. I'm sure madali mo malalaman sa dugo ni Sage kung may traces of poison pa."

"Bakit hindi niyo sinabi sa akin na malala ang kalagayan ni Sage? Alam niyo naman na hindi ko siya matitiis?"

"It was his decision and I don't have a choice but to follow him."

Tumango lang ako kay Sir Rusty. Helda taught me about spells about cleansing. Pero kung pag babasihan ang kulay ni Sage, malaki pa ang traces of poison pa sa kanya.
