CHAPTER 12.

SOPHIA'S POV

Pumunta na kami sa parking lot kung saan nakaparking ang sasakyan. Nakita kong nando'n na 'yung apat at hinihintay kami.

"Bakit mukhang galing sa iyak si kuya Dex?" Takang tanong ko nang napansin kong namamaga ang mga mata niya.

"Nakita niya nanay niya. Kaya ayan, iyak." Sagot naman ni kuya Tony. "Let's go. We're done here." Sabi naman ni Luxu habang hawak niya pa rin 'yung braso niyang natamaan ng bato.

"Anong nangyari sa braso mo?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni kuya Esidia. Hindi siya sinagot ni Luxu at binigay niya lang 'yung susi ng sasakyan sa kapatid. Pumasok na rin kami sa loob at bumyahe na.

~ ALACRITAS' RESIDENCE ~

Nandito kami ni Luxu sa loob ng kwarto ko at ginagamot ang sugat niya. Buti naman at hindi masyadong malala 'yung sugat niya kaya hindi na siya kailangan pang dalhin sa ospital.

"Pwede mo bang sabihin sa'kin 'yung tungkol do'n?" Tanong ko habang ginagamot siya.

"That guy, I killed him before. To be honest, he's not the only one that I killed." Sagot niya sa'kin.

"Ilan silang pinatay mo? Pati rin ba 'yung mga na-rape mong babae ay pinatay mo rin?" Umiling siya sa'kin.

"I have a lust to kill men. I have a lust to rape women. I'm not killing those women that I raped." Sagot niya.

"Bakit? Bakit mo nagawa 'yun? Bakit mo ginagawa 'yun?" Umiling siya sa'kin at tumingin sa direksyon ko.

"I don't know. I have no idea also, little lady. All I know is that I want to do it. That I'm enjoying doing it." Seryosong sagot niya sa'kin.

Hinawakan niya ko sa kamay at ngumiti ng mapait. "I wish you're not going to avoid because of this. Even though I know that that's the safest way to do." Nakayukong saad niya.

"Patay na ba kayo? O buhay pa rin kayo?" Tinanong ko ulit sa kaniya 'yung tanong na matagal ko nang naitanong sa kaniya.

Baka kasi ay hindi siya nagsabi sa'kin ng totoo noong nagtanong ako sa kaniya noong una eh.

"We are alive. We are still alive, little lady. We're just being punished. After this, we can live normally now." Hindi nagbago ang sagot niya sa'kin.

"Kahit sino ba ay nire-rape mo at pinapatay mo?" Tumango siya sa'kin bilang sagot. Hinawakan ko siya sa pisnge niya at pinaharap sa'kin.

"Use this chance para pagbayaran ang mga kasalanan mo. Sa nakikita ko sa'yo ay nahihirapan ka eh. Para hindi ka na mahirapan, tapusin mo 'to." Sabi ko sa kaniya.

"I need your help with this and also the others. I can't do this punishment on my own, little lady." Bigla akong nasakatan nang nakita ko na napanghihinaan na siya ng loob.

"Tutulungan kita. Hindi kita iiwan mag-isa." Niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit para pakalmahin siya. Sa nakikita ko sa kaniya ay pwede pa siyang magbago.

"Thank you, little lady. I owe you. I'll do everything to make sure that you're happy and safe with me." Rinig kong bulong niya at niyakap niya ko pabalik.

LUXU'S POV

When I wake up, I saw myself lying on the bed. When I looked at her direction, I saw her sleeping softly beside me.

I smiled at the fact that she trusts me more now than before. I stare at her then smiled wider than before.

"You're so beautiful, little lady. You make me fall for you even more." I whispered even though I know that she can't hear me.

I put my arms around her and made sure that she's not going to fall from the bed. She's on the very edge of the bed that's why I put her on the space beside me.

I looked at my wound then I know that its already healed. I told her that it's fine but she didn't listen to me. My wounds can heal fast than the others but she didn't believe me.

This little lady is concerned and worried about me is the best thing in this punishment. Now, I am afraid that this won't last a day.

Happiness in this world has a price to pay. If you're too happy, you can really expect that there will something happen that will end you up being hurt and broken.

While staring at her I remembered everything that I've done before. All of the unforgivable acts that I've done, I know that there will be no second chances for me.

I raped many women before and I killed many men. My lust for sex and blood made me like this. I did that under the influence of drugs.

She didn't know that because I can't tell her. I don't want her to know about that. I don't want her to leave me because of this.

I've lived in this world for so long. I am older than her. I have an immortal life. One of the punishments that I have is to watch the people that I care about to die. I can't stop them from dying.

I'll be watching her die too within my eyes. I'm not ready for that but I know that I'm going to spend my whole life being with her, loving her and having a family with her.

I'm going to make sure that she'll be ending up with me despite this sins that I've done before.

"L-Luxu?" She called my name then I saw her open her eyes slowly. I smiled at her.

"Yes? Did I wake you up?" I asked her softly. She shook her head sideways.

"Bakit nakayakap ka sa'kin? May balak ka sa'kin noh?" She asked me softly. She didn't do anything to push me away from her. I smiled.

"Nope. Just making sure that you're safe. That's why, little lady." I answered.

"Okay. Thank you. Goodnight." She said then she hugs me tight and sleeps. My heart beats faster than the usual because of what she'd done.

This little lady is so unpredictable. She's really testing my patience. God. She should stop this now or else I can't stop myself anymore.

What am I going to do with her? Damn.
