Teach Me How To Werewolf [COMPLETED]

Chapter 31 - Binding of Hearts

(POV Eliana)

Pagkauwi namin sa ancestral house, Tristan asked me to sleep pero di ako makatulog dahil sa takot, excitement at curiosity. Iniisip ko pa lang na may mga otherworldly beings sa mundo, na eexcite na ako.

Di ko pa rin alam kung bakit siya na badtrip kanina after nung ritual, pero mukhang okay na siya after namin kumain ng burger. Baka gutom lang siya kaya inatake ng Split Personality Disorder niya.

"Eliana, it's time," sabi ni Tristan pagpasok sa kwarto. Mabilis ako bumangon at sinusundan siya.

"Saan ang ating next destination?"

"Don't ask further question, just follow me."

Suplado ka na naman? Psssh!

Mukhang pababa kami sa lowest section ng basement dahil ilang hagdanan na din ang nadaanan namin. Luma na ang stone walled corridors at ito marahil ang unang foundation ng castle. Mukhang walang nagagawi sa lugar na ito dahil sobrang creepy.

Binuksan ni Tristan ang isang heavy wooden door. Pumasok kami sa loob ng isang empty room. Mukhang makalumang prison cell. Sa gitna ng room, andoon ang isang table na may isang glass at isang blade.

"Dito ka sa gitna. Stay still kung ayaw mong maging barbeque," sabi ni Tristan ang he asked me to stand sa harap ng table.

May inangat siyang isang lever sa ilalim ng table at biglang nagkaroon ng apoy ang walls ng buong kwarto. Napapalibutan na kami ngayon ng apoy na umaabot hanggang ceiling.

"Prison cell ba ito dati?" tanong ko sa kanya habang pinagmamasdan ang apoy na nakapalibot sa amin.

"Nope. This room is designed specifically for this event," sabi ni Tristan sabay hubad ng shirt.

"Akala ko ba wala ng hubaran?"

"Sabi ko partially di ba? And besides, di ka pa ba sanay?"

"Paano ko masasanay kung palagi akong naka nga nga tuwing naghuhubad ka?" bulong ko sa kanya.

"Take off your shirt, Eliana. Unless you want to be soaked in blood."

Mabilis ko naman siya sinunod at tinanggal ang damit ko. Nararamdaman ko na ang init ng apoy na malapit sa amin. Pero di ko rin sigurado kung mainit dahil sa apoy o dahil sa half naked na lalake sa harap ko.

Tristan took the blade from the table and it looks like a knife made of glass. Ngayon lang ako nakakita ng ganitong klaseng kutsilyo.

"This will be painful at first, but the werewolf blood will make it easier. Now, plunge this blade to my heart," utos niya sa sa akin sabay bigay ng blade.

"Ha? Nagpapatawa ka ba? No way!"

"Eliana, you have to do it. Wag na matigas ang ulo mo."

"No! Paano kung mamatay ka?"

"Eliana, I am an immortal werewolf remember?"

"Pero masasaktan ka pa rin di ba? You will still feel pain kapag sinasaksak kita?"

Tristan just sighed in frustration. He can't blame me, hindi ko ata kaya ilagay ang blade sa puso niya.

What if magkaroon ng anomaly at mamatay siya? What if hindi mag heal ang wounds niya?

"This is part of the fire ritual. We have to feel the physical pain for our hearts to be binded. Just do it, Eliana. It will be fine. Trust me okay?" mahinang sabi ni Tristan. Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko and guide the blade towards his heart.

"I will bear the pain for you, Eliana and you have to bear the pain for me," he said in a soft voice. His eyes are assuring me that there is nothing to worry about.

"I will bear the pain for you too, Tristan," mahina kong sagot sa kanya.

I closed my eyes when I thrust the knife to his heart. When I opened my eyes, the glass blade turned into red ba parang may laman na dugo. Tristan pulled the knife out of his chest and transferred the blood on the glass cup. It is like the glass knife has a power to absorb blood from his heart.

"Eliana, it is your turn. Do you trust me?"

"I trust you. Just be quick. Kung alam ko lang na may ganitong moment, sana nag paturok ako ng anaesthesia."

"Close your eyes, Eliana." mahinang sabi ni Tristan.

I followed him at sobrang kaba ng puso ko dahil anytime, may knife na babaon sa dibdib ko. It was the most agonizing seconds of my life, but I did not expect when his soft lips suddenly touches mine.

Akala ko it was just a smack tulad nung civil wedding namin, but his lips are slowly moving. He is kissing me slowly and yet it is full of passion. This is the first time that I have been kissed and I have no regrets na si Tristan ang first kiss ko.

He kissed me as if he really knows what he is doing. My mind is on a haze at ang tangi ko lang nasa isip ay ang bawat halik ni Tristan. I was about to kiss him back, but I felt a sudden sharp pain on my chest as if my heart stopped beating.

Tristan let go of my lips and at the same time he pulled the knife on my chest. The glass blade is nowfull of my blood na isinalin niya sa glass cup. Biglang nag glow ang glass kung saan may dugo namin pareho ni Tristan. He started to drink the blood and when it is already half full, he gave the glass to me.

Sinunod ko naman siya at uminom din ako. The blood tastes like sweet grape juice. Masarap pala ang dugo ng mga werewolf.

Mag-eenjoy kaya ang vampire sa werewolf blood kung ganito kasarap?
