Sebriel: The Hybrid of Ghouls and Demons

❣❣Demon Fifteen: "Infiltrate"

❣❣Sebriel's POV:

I arrive at the clinic with extreme difficulty but just my luck, the nurse is nowhere to be seen.

Instead of waiting I just decided to let myself in, and treat my wounds. Hopefully, I don't have any broken ribs. I don't want to skip Combat training this afternoon after lunch because I was bullied. That is just lame.

After few minutes of checking and cleaning my external wound I took my sit at one of the clinic bed and took a deep sigh. I can rest for at least thirty minutes but it would be bad if I overslept my nap. I'll just sit here and try soothing my probably broken ribs.

I was about to lay down when I stopped halfway. My eyes widened when I touched something soft. “You know, touching a person while sleeping is considered sexual harassment.” said a husky, manly voice from behind me. I stiffined and slowly look at the guy behind me and there revealed a very handsome man laying in the bed while his hand is on his forehead. My eyes darted on my hand.

And I flush red. What the actual heck.

I immediately let my hands off of his stomach. Shems.

“S-sorry.” I apologized and immediately stood up. Nakayuko lang ako at halatang namumula. Marahan na tumayo iyong lalaki sa pagkakahiga at tinignan ako. Napayuko pa ako lalo at mas namula pa. “Pasensya ka na, di ko namalayang nandiyan ka pala.” pagpapaumanhin ko pa. Yuyuko na sana ako ng maramdaman ko ang matinding sakit sa pagitan ng tatlong ribs sa loob ng kalumlunan ko.

“Heh, ayos lang.” sagot niya kaya napabuntong hininga ako. Tinignan ko siya at nginitian. Tumaas ang kilay ko nang marealize na ang lalaking nasa harap ko ngayon ay ang lalaking kasama nung lalaking inaaway ako. Tho, di niya ako inaway parang inaaway niya na din ako in a way of teasing.

“Ikaw yung lalaki noon..” Sabi ko ng marealize ko iyon. Tumango siya at nginitian ako. “I am, quite the gut you have earlier. Even the strongest demons came to your rescue,” he said and paused. He stared at me in amusement and smirk. “Like a damsel in distress.” he continued. I blushed furiously as I flail both of my hands in front of him, emabarrassed.

“Ano ba yang pinagsasabi mo? I am not that!” deny ko habang bahagyang lumayo sa kanya. Ramdam ko ang pamumula ng mga pisngi ko sa hiya. Bahagya siyang tumawa kaya napatitig ako sakanya. Napakaganda ng tawa nito, napakaamo tila isang anghel galing sa langit. “You're interesting.” Sabi nito sanhi na nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya. Ano bang pinagsasabi nito?

“I beg your pardon?” tanong ko, hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi niya kanina. “I said, you're interesting.” he repeated in which I find myself gaping. For some reason, the way he said it is so creepy that I feel like it had a different meaning from what it sounds like. “I didn't mean it in a bad way,” he said and chuckled. I find myself relieved.

“You're like the only girl who stayed quite after meeting me.” he said, a hint of boasting was evident. I raised my eyebrows, confused. Not sure of what he meant awhile ago. “Am I suppose to shout when I met you?” I asked obviously confused and puzzled.

He laughed, “No, nevermind that. What's your name?” he asked and I smiled. I took the liberty of getting the chair besides me and sat there. I could feel my stomach hurting. “I'm Sebriel,” I introduced myself and made sure to smile. That's what I was taught in a book, to always smile when meeting new people.

“May I ask for your full name?” he asked again and I stared at him again in confusion. Ba't gusto niya pang malaman ang buo kong pangalan? Minsan nagtataka na talaga ako sa kaniya eh. “A-ah, Sebriel Vianne Rekkie. Bakit?” sagot ko at awkward siya na nginitian. Biglang lumiwanag ang kaniyang mukha kaya muli na naman akong nagtaka.
