(POV Tristan)


I slowly removed Bianca's hand around my arm. Kahit wala na si Eliana, I don't think she will be happy to see me with her.


"Gareth, ano yung sinasabi mong help na darating? Anong balak mo para buksan ang pintong yan?" inis na tanong ni Bianca.


Bago pa makasagot si Gareth, mabilis na nag materialized si Eliana sa harapan ng malaking pinto. I thought I am just dreaming, but it seems that Gareth, Elixir and Bianca can also see her.


"Eliana?" gulat na tanong ko ng maramdaman ang presence niya.

"She is the help that I am referring to," confident na sabi ni Gareth.


With just a few steps, nasa harapan ko na si Eliana. Niyakap ko siya as if taon ang huli namin pagkikita. It feels good to have her in my arms. Parang ayoko na siya pakawalan pa. Embracing her seems to remove any traces of sadness in my life. I found myself crying while hugging her. It is not because of pain, but because of too much happiness as my wife is alive.


"Eliana, I am not dreaming, right?" I said as I cupped her face.

"Kausap na kita kanina di ba? Ano akala mo, multo ang kausap mo?" nakangiti niyang sagot sa akin.


Mabilis niyang pinaliwanag ang vision ni Gareth about her death at kung paano siya tinulungan ni Professor Joaquim saka ni Massiah Keller to create her clone. It was Azariah and Zeke Grayson who helped her to teleport quickly.


"I am satisfied with your explanation about your fake resurrection, but you have a lot of explaining to do why you are messing up with my head," I talked to her telepathically as I kissed her forehead.

"Tristan, I would love to give you all the explanations that you need."

"I need more than that, Eliana. I almost died in pain when I thought that you were gone. You have to compensate for my agony."

"Ok na ba ang isang sexy dance number?"

"That will do, my dear wife. Sexy dance number every damn night!"


Naputol ang pag-uusap namin ni Eliana nang marinig namin si Bianca. She does not look delighted that my wife back from the dead.


"If you are our so-called help, how do you plan to open this door?" inis na tanong ni Bianca kay Eliana.


Eliana just sighed, pero di niya maitago ang inis. Alam ko na pinagselosan niya dati si Bianca dahil akala niya ay ex-girlfriend ko ito. Di na rin ko magtataka kung nakita niya na nakakapit ang mga kamay ni Bianca sa akin kanina.


"Narinig ko ang pinag-usapan niyo kanina. Elixir is right, turning these knobs can activate traps. These traps are meant to kill any trespasser. The first knob right here has a symbol of air or wind. Hindi ko alam exactly kung anong mangyayari, but once you turned it, it will surely open the floor beneath us. Judging from the room below us, it is completely sealed, parang vacuum. I doubt may makakalabas pa ng buhay dito."


Eliana is indeed our help. Hawak niya ang labindalawang abilities ng mga werewolf families. With the high intelligence from the Campbell family and the ability to see through objects from the Kimura family, she can definitely spot the mechanism behind these knobs.


"How about turning these knobs at the same time? There is a written Hebrew writings here on the door about combining the power of the elements. Will it do the trick?" tanong ni Elixir kay Eliana.

"That's right. Once you turned all the knobs simultaneously, it will unlock this gigantic metallic door. This will also stop the traps from activating at the same time."

"And how did you know all of these? Why should we believe you all of a sudden?" galit na tanong ni Bianca.


Gareth and Elixir knows that Eliana is the Direct Heir of the Thirteenth Alpha. Bianca, on the other hand, does not have any idea about this.


"I trust, Elle. Let us go with that plan," sabi ni Gareth na kulang na lang ay pagtawanan si Bianca.

"Wait a minute, we might die in the process! We don't know if turning these knobs at the same time will activate another trap!" galit na sabi ni Bianca.

"As I have said, I trust Elle. Elixir and Tristan both trust her."


Tumango lang kami ni Elixir and all of us positioned ourselves in front of the knob except for Bianca. Elixir gave the go signal and we turning the knobs at the same time. A radiant light appeared from each of the knobs representing the elemental colors, blue, yellow, red and white. The four glowing lights suddenly moved upwards na parang may sariling buhay.

Each light is passing through the elemental symbols as if tracing it. Paakyat ang ilaw sa pinto at papunta sa ceiling. We heard a loud click and the enormous door in front of us suddenly moved. Bumukas ang pinto at nauna na pumasok si Elixir at kasunod kami ni Eliana.


"I told you, she's our help," sabi ni Gareth kay Bianca.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Just shut up, okay?"

"Bitch!"

"Shut up, Gareth Steiner! You are fucking annoying---"


Bianca stopped nang makita niya ang nasa harapan namin. All us stayed quiet as we stare at the abyssal darkness in front of us.
