He's on a manhunt
But damn!! wala siyang ideya kung saan siya hahanapin!
Mabilis niyang nilagok ang natitirang alcohol sa hawak na bote.
Its been three years, still he got no trace of Angel.
He left the agency and didn't even finish his remaining sem, the killing never stops but they stop chasing the killer.
Narinig niya ang malakas na pagsara ng pinto
"Asano? let's get up buddy" dinig niyang sabi ni Knifia, but he kept his head low
"let him be, magpakamatay siya kung gusto niya" said Spoon
"sorry bro" he slurred at his words, he got enough alcohol in his system for months to keep him numb.
"let's go, let's clean you up" pilit na inaakay siya ni Knifia, pero hindi siya tumayo
"I'm sorry, I'm- I lost Angel" he cried while biting his palm. ilang buwan na rin siyang walang blood
"that's nasty Asano!" sigaw ni Lila bago may ibinatong mga folder sa kanya
Biglang nabuhay ang dugo niya nang Makita ang larawan ni Angel, mahaba ang buhok nito at kulot, she is holding a Star Bucks cup.
She's alive! Angel is alive!
His heart pound and adrenaline rushed in his blood when he flip the page.
Its Angel and Castle, kissing.
"Castle?" he growled
"yes bro, we thought he died at the arson"
After Angel went missing, her parent's house burned mysteriously. Her whole family were asleep and so is Castle as he was seen in the CCTV having dinner with her family and later on stayed to console them.
"he's not a human" bulong niya
"no shit Sherlock, we found his photo in World War II in Russia with Joseph whoever" ani Spoon
"Joseph Stalin" sansala ni Knifia, na pinupunasan siya ng bimpo ngayon
"kung kumilos ka sana for the past three years edi sana matagal na nating nahuli ang killer!"
"Castle is not the killer, my sister is"
"Carla?" tanong ni Lila
" Sandali nga! gaano ba kasalimuot ang buhay mong gago ka?! yung ngang bampira ka tanggap ko pa eh, pero itong history bullshit na kasama ang mga vampires? Ayoko na! this is too Hollywood for me!" malakas na sigaw ni Spoon
"Shut up, I've got to find her" may pinal niyang sasbi
"how? this picture was taken in Europe" turo ni Lila sa picture na naka dress si Angel "this is Japan" she's eating a burger "and this one is in Madagascar" she's riding a big bike.
"she's everywhere"
"ito?" turo niya sa litratong naghahalikan ang dalawa "saan ito nakuha?"
"In Baler"

"Master?" Alanganin niyang tawag dito habang halos papakin na nito ang leeg niya, Master Castle never drink blood from her or from any human.
He taught her how to hunt and to be, in his own word, 'vegetarian' by surviving in animals blood alone.
Master Castle owned tons of properties around the world. At tinuturuan siya nito ng iba't-ibang lengguwahe.
"Master, bakit po tayo umuwi ng Pilipinas?" Tahimik niyang tanong dito.
Humigpit ang yakap nito sa kanyang beywang, he sniffed at her hair before answering her.
"You see Angel, i've got to take care of someone, someone who is a threat to us"
Gwapo si Master Castle, pero may something sa kanya na nakakatakot.
Noong magising ako bilang isang bampira, isang daan na taon na daw ang lumipas. Wala akong ala-alang bitbit maliban sa aking pangalan.
Inalagaan niya ako at tinuruan, hanggang sa sabihin niyang ako ang nakatakda niyang mapangasawa.
Pero hindi parin maalis-alis sa isip ko ang isang imahe ng lalaking lagi kong napapaniginipan. Hindi ko sinasabi kay Master yun, dahil magagalit siya.
"Sino pong someone Master?" Pasimple kong pinunasan ang leeg ko nang kumawala ito at naglakad palayo sa akin
"An old friend" nakita ko na naman ang maitim nitong awra.

"Asano?"
Mabilis kong nahagis sa kung sino mang tumawag sa akin ang balisong hawak ko.
She made a grunting sound nang masalo niya ito sapul sa palad niya. Kasalukuyan akong nasa likod ng Midnight Seventeen. Ilang sunud-sunod na case ang kinakaharap ng bar ngayon, mga sunud-sunod na babaeng namamatay pero this time, hindi sila drain.
"Carla" iba ang hitsura niya. Mukha itong stress na stress at namumutla pa
"Asano, help me"
"When did you last fed?" Scrutinizing her, she got a small silver crack in her forehead and side of her face. But her clothes are stained with blood. Siya parin ang killer.
These crack is a proof of some vampire who is too hungry to live another day.
"It doesn't taste good anymore" hinablot nito ang buhok
"Anong nangyayari?" Alanganin akong lumapit sa kanya
"Ang dugo, lasa na itong kalawang sa akin, hindi ko kayang mamatay Asano, not now. You still need me"
I flinched away from her. She is still crazy.
"Tell me what happened"
Naging malikot ang mata nito, looking everywhere as if someone is watching her.
"Master willed it, gusto na niya akong mawala sa landas niya kasi alam niyang malapit na tayong sumaya" she chuckled and gaze at me dreamily.
I reached behind my back for another dagger, she just lost it. She lost her sanity and will to live.
"Carla, ikaw ba ang may kagagawan ng mga taong namamatay sa Midnight Seventeen?"
"Why my dear brother, you're so intelligent! Ako nga, i picked the most drunk girl to feed on pero ganun parin" she clutched her face, nails digging to her skin "he must have done something to me, now that she had that bitch! Itatapon nalang niya ako!!"
"What are you talking about?"
"That bitch!! That bitch in your room? The one you got so obsessed with? Siya na ngayon ang pet ni Master!!" She laughed hysterically. Pero naputol iyon nang biglang may tumarak sa dibdib nito and started to burn to ashes.
Lost in words, i glanced where the arrow must have came from.
There i saw standing under the moon.
Angel.
