(POV Eliana)
Sa loob ng ilang araw na kasama ko si Tristan bilang asawa ko, para akong nasa panaginip. I was bitten by Gwen one day and the next thing I know, we were already married.
"Mukhang napagod ka sa werewolf wedding mo ah?" tanong ni Lance habang nasa parking lot kami after ng class namin.
Pinagmamasdan niya ko mabuti as if may bago sa akin. Malakas ang pakiramdam ng mokong na ito tulad ni Gwen. Malamang, alam na niya na may nangyari na sa amin ni Tristan.
"Nakakapagod kasi, hindi ko naman alam na madami na rituals ang gagawin."
"Mukhang pinagod ka ni Tristan sa ibang paraan," natatawa niyang sabi kaya hinampas ko lang ang braso niya. I can't lie to him, but it is awkward to give him a confirmation.
"Teka, nasaan nga pala si Gwen? Sabi niya magkikita kami dito sa parking lot. Grabe sakit ng ulo ko, gusto ko na umuwi," sabi ko sa kanya para maiwas sa akin ang usapan.
"Kausap niya yung mga professors niya kung pwede ipagpatuloy niya yung studies niya without repeating her subjects. Tristan is helping her."
"Ahhh mind control shit? Haist, sana may ganun din akong powers," sagot ko habang minamassage ang temples ko dahil sa migraine.
"Elle, you became really close with Tristan. Are you beginning to like him?" tanong niya sa akin and he is emphasizing the word close as if may ibang ibig sabihin yun.
"Lance, asawa ko yung tao. Wala akong choice but to like him eventually. Selos ka ba?"
"Of course, sabi ko naman sayo super loves kita---"
But Lance promptly stopped when he saw a familiar figure approaching us. She is wearing a short strapless dress that looks perfect on her snow white skin. She has a long straight reddish hair that looks fabulous on her.
Student ba to? Bakit mukhang model na naligaw sa parking lot? Isa ba ito sa mga chicks ni Lance?
My eyes widened with surprise when I realized who is the woman in front of us. She may be wearing a modern clothes and she may have a straight hair now, but her face is exactly the same.
"Olivia..." Lance said as he gritted his teeth.
"Lancelot, the love of my life..."
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"Same thing as you, having fun. Who is she?"
"She's none of your business, Olivia. Let's go, Elle," sabi ni Lance na mabilis akong hinila at sinakay sa kotse niya.
Di ko alam kung bakit ako kinakabahan sa pagkikita namin ni Olivia. Parang binabalot ako ng kakaibang takot.
Is it because she's alive when she is supposed to be dead? Or dahil siya ang babaeng minahal ni Tristan?
"Lance, saan ba tayo pupunta? Bakit natin iniwan si Gwen?" tanong ko kay Lance habang nasa sasakyan kami.
"Call her now. Tell her we will meet her in your house," utos ni Lance habang nagdridrive siya ng sobrang bilis palabas ng university.
"Baka gusto mo mag explain kung bakit buhay ang ex fiancee mo?"
Pero di na nakasagot si Lance dahil biglang lumitaw si Olivia sa harapan ng kotse. Lance was able to hit the break, but she waved her hand at tumilapon ang kotse na sinasakyan namin. Umikot ito ilang beses at pareho kami nagkaroon ng lethal injuries ni Lance. If we are not immortal werewolves, we are surely dead from that impact.
"You betrayed me, Lancelot! And I will make you feel all of the suffering that I felt when you left me! Let me start with your girlfriend here!" sigaw ni Olivia na biglang hinawakan ang buhok ko palabas kotse.
Hindi ko inaasahan na biglang hahaba ang kanyang kuko. Her hands look like Wolverine now and her black nails serve as her blades. Without hesitation, she suddenly thrust her long black sharp nails on my stomach. Napuno ng dugo ang damit ko dahil sa sugat na natamo ko. She pushed me at tumilapon ang almost lifeless kong katawan palayo sa kanya.
"We are just getting started, Lancelot!" sabi ni Olivia na lumalakad na palayo sa amin as if nothing happened.
Kahit werewolf na ako, ramdam ko ang sakit na dulot ng mahahaba niyang kuko. Si Lance naman ay nagmamadali na pinuntahan ako.
"Hey, hey, Elle. Are you alright? Don't panic, your wounds will be healed," nag-aalalang sabi ni Lance habang tinatakpan ang sugat ko sa stomach.
"Where is...Tris... tan..."
He hastily carried me away from the burning car bago pa ito sumabog. Lance tried to call Tristan and with less than a minute, Gwen and Tristan are already in the scene of the crime.
"What the fuck happened, Lancelot?" galit na tanong ni Tristan at mabilis akong binuhat papunta sa sasakyan niya.
"Olivia happened."
Kahit nanghihina ako, kitang kita ko ang pagka gulat sa mata ni Tristan when he heard the name Olivia. Masaya ako sa piling ni Tristan, pero pakiramdam ko, mawawala ang happiness ko sooner or later because of Olivia.
"Olivia? She is dead."
"She is alive and she is on the mission to make me suffer. Elle is the collateral damage. I bet she was not able to detect that Elle is already a werewolf. Akala niya siguro tao lang si Elle," paliwanag ni Lance.
Most of my bruises and wounds are already healed, but the deep laceration on my stomach is not healing. I don't think that this is just an ordinary wound. Olivia is something else.
"Lancelot, you have a lot of explaining to do," sabi ni Tristan habang nasa sasakyan na kami. Nasa harap sila ng sasakyan, samantalang kami ni Gwen ay nasa likod.
"Kuya, Elle is healing slowly. She lost a lot of blood. Look at her wounds, may black smoke na lumalabas."
I can't speak dahil na rin sa sakit na nararamdaman ko. All I can hear is Gwen's voice. She's panicking because of my bleeding stomach.
"We are dealing with a demon inflicted wounds. Is that right, Lancelot?" galit na tanong ni Tristan.
"Demons are always troublesome since day one," Lance answered as he sighed.
