(POV Sage)
Umaga na ng makarating kami sa St. Moritz. Matthias rented a penthouse sa isang five-star hotel na may panoramic view sa buong town ng St. Moritz.
It consists of several rooms para sa aming lahat. Nararamdaman ko na ang lahat ay tensed dahil sa realization na isang vampire warlock ang kalaban namin. Even the mighty Silawin seemed to be bothered by this.
"Bakit di ka pa natutulog? Hindi ka naman nakatulog ng maayos sa plane. The ball will start at eight in the evening," sabi ko kay Rei habang nasa veranda siya at tinatanaw ang icy mountains.
"Di naman ako kasali dun. Sasama lang ako sa royal meeting which is midnight pa naman."
Aminin man niya o hindi, I am sure gusto niya sumama. And I also want her to join in that masquerade ball. It will be a first for us.
"Nagtatampo ka ba dahil di ka kasama?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"Nagpapatawa ka ba? You're in danger, all of the vampires are probably in danger. Why do I care about a fucking masquerade ball? Asan nga pala sila? Bakit tayo lang ang andito?"
"Lena and Silawin are having lunch downstairs. Your uncle will be on the look out in case something fishy happens during the ball and the meeting. I am a guest of honor in that meeting and you will be my partner, while Rusty will join Matt's set of guests. It means, you are going to come with me in that fucking masquerade ball," sabi ko sa kanya sabay yakap sa kanya.
I always want to hug her because she makes me feel alive. Pero instead na sumagot, ngumiti lang siya at pinitik ang ilong ko.
"Minsan di ko alam kung ano tumatakbo sa utak mo, Sage. Minsan masaya ka, sweet and caring. Minsan naman tahimik, suplado at bwiset. You are such a riddle na mahirap ma solve. Or pwede naman na meron lang talaga siyang extreme bipolar mood disorder!"
"Bipolar mood disorder huh?" natatawa kong tanong sabay kiliti sa tagiliran niya.
"Gusto mo din kumain? Tara, baba tayo. Samahan natin si Uncle Syl at Lena."
"Ayoko," sabay hila ko sa braso niya.
"Sage, ano na naman ba problema? Para kang volcano, minsan kalmado, minsan nag aalboroto. Minsan ang gulo mo kausap at parang badtrip ka saken. Pero minsan naman, parang kulang na lang sabihin mo na mahal mo ko."
"Kanina bipolar mood disorder. Ngayon volcano? Next thing I know, you will compare me to a chupacabra. Dito ka lang, may hinihintay ako."
Pero bago pa siya magtanong, biglang may nagdoorbell at hinila ko na siya papunta sa pinto. May dalawang hotel attendant na nagpasok ng isang light soft pink Victorian belle ball gown. Sleeveless at floor-length. Rei will surely look like a Disney princess pag sinuot niya to.
Well, she looks like a princess to me even if she wears nothing...
May dala silang ilang boxes na may laman na silver stiletto shoes, tiara, necklace, earrings at isang white masquerade ball mask with swarovsky embellishments.
"Ayan ang susuotin mo mamaya sa masquerade ball."
"Sage, it looks simple and yet fucking expensive. Wala ako pera pambayad or pang renta nito!" sabi niya habang tinitignan ang gown. Di matago sa mukha niya na excited siya.
