Napahinga ako nang malalim at mahinang tinulak ang lalaki. He immediately stepped back while hurt was visible on his face.
I don't know him... and I don't need to know.
Naramdaman kong dumating si Damon sa aking tabi habang nakangisi. He intently looked at me.
"Right, brother? That girl is not your mate," nakaturong saad sa 'kin ni Damon. Napayuko ako nang makasalubong ko ang pula niyang mga mata.
"Seems like she doesn't remember you... how sad," natatawang saad ni Damon.
"Shut the fuck up, Damon. It's for her own sake," madiing saad ng lalaki habang mariing napasulyap sa 'kin.
Even his stare makes my heart go wild...
Huminga ako nang malalim at tumingin kay Damon.
"You're bleeding..." mahina kong saad habang nakatingin sa nagdudugo niyang labi.
"It's okay, sweetheart. It doesn't hurt," nakangisi niyang saad at inakbayan ako.
Napaatras ako sa kaniyang ginawa at mahinang napasinghap.
Not because it's uncomfortable. But because of this man in front of us.
I think he's mad...
Tumingkayad ako para bulungan si Damon.
"Damon," bulong ko sa kaniya. Nakatapat ang aking labi sa kaniyang tainga. Ngunit hindi ko iyon alintana.
"Yeah?" nakakunot noo niyang saad habang nakatagilid ang ulo paharap sa 'kin.
Napalunok ako dahil ngayon ko lang napansin na sobrang lapit namin sa isa't-isa.
"I-I need to go..." mahina kong saad at umiwas ng tingin. That man in front of us. He's making me uncomfortable...
"Sure. See you," ganting bulong niya sa 'kin. His breath is touching my neck as I turn away.
Napalunok ako at nagmamadaling umalis. Hindi na muling sumulyap sa lalaking nagngangalang Damien.
Pagkapasok ko sa aming room ay pabagsak akong umupo sa aking upuan.
Who is that man? My own what? Sake? How?
Napatalon ako sa aking pagkakaupo nang may humampas sa aking upuan.
"Where's my pineapple juice?" mataray na salubong sa 'kin ng aking kaklase. Oh no... I think I dropped it when I got tripped.
"I... I'm sorry, I forgot," mahina kong saad at nakayukong tumayo para bumalik. Ngunit agad niya akong hinarangan. Kasama ang kaniyang tatlong kaibigan.
Napalunok ako at napaatras.
"What the fuck? So anong ginawa mo ro'n? You're really getting in to my nerves... witch," masamang tignin niyang saad sa 'kin at tinulak ang aking balikat.
Napaatras ako ng kaunti sa kaniyang ginawa.
Napakagat ako sa ibaba ng aking labi at yumuko na lamang. Wala manlang pakielam 'yong iba kong kaklase. They didn't even care for a witch like me. An ugly one.
"You know, I saw her talking to Damon just recently. She's a slut," ani ng isang babae. I think her name's Abi.
Agad nila akong pinalibutan at humakbang papalapit sa 'kin.
"We were just talking—" Bumaling ang aking mukha pagilid nang sampalin niya ako. I can feel my cheeks turning red and numb.
I gasped lightly.
"We should do something to her..." malademonyong saad ng isa.
Nagsimulang magtubig ang gilid ng aking mga mata at nagmamakaawang tumingin sa kanila. No...
Nakangising hinawakan ako ng isa at agad na sumeryoso.
"What do you do to witches?"
"... you burn them."

Vampir"I am protecting you not because you're weak!" His jaw twitched as his eyes turned bloody red. He stepped forward as I stepped back. His eyes softened. "I am protecting you because you are precious to me..." "I'm-" I tried opening my mouth to utte...
