La Luna Maiden

CHAPTER 1

FRILA

I don't know that today is full moon. So that's explain why the evening is more brighter right now.

A smile draw in my lips as I close my eyes, feeling the cold breeze blowing in my bare skin. So relaxing.. Just a simple watching the moon in my veranda made my tired washed away, I used this scene as my hobby after my whole day. Moon really worked in my life as my reliever. Tititig lang ako sa liwanag n'ya gumagaan na ang pakiramdam ko.

Ngunit napatigil ako sa pagmumuni ng may kakaiba akong maramdaman. I open my eyes and carefully roamed my gaze. My eyes suddenly stopped on the big tree near in my spot. Mahigit isang minuto akong napatitig doon bago napabuga ng malalim na hininga.

Heto na naman ako..... always sensing something. Alam mo 'yung pakiramdam na parang may nagmamasid sa'yo? This past few days I've been sensing some presences watching me. Kahit sa'n ako pumunta parang may mga matang nakasunod sa'kin. I know it sounds creepy but it's true, and that's making me a little paranoid.

Minsan nakikita ko na lang ang sarili ko na tumititig sa mga puno na para bang alam ko na nandu'n ang mga prisensyang nasesense ko. Natatawa na nga lang ako sa sarili ko eh. Heck, I sounded like a little girl whose addicted in fiction stories kaya kung ano-ano na lang ang naiisip.

Paulit-ulit na iniling ko ang aking ulo bago naisipang pumasok na.

“I see. You're really doing a grate job on your work. The whole feedbacks they are giving on your judge paper is all good news. At dahil jan... Ms. Frilalla Lascova, nakapasa ka sa OJT exam mo.”

Halos tumalon ako sa tuwa ng inanunsyo ng professor ko na nakapasa ako sa OJT exam ko. My hard work and lack of sleeps is perfectly worth it. Yes! This is a new start to become a real doctor. I'm sure mom and dad especially my bestfriend would be very much happy for me.

Ng makalabas ako sa office agad 'kong kinuha sa bulsa ko ang cellphone ko. I quickly message my parents and my bestfriend Gueen about the good news.

Then that's call a celebration! Let's celebrate in our favorite hang out place. Already heading in there :>

Napangisi ako ng mabasa ang reply ni Gueen. Ang bilis talaga ng babaeng 'to magreply ng celebration. Mukhang mapapasabak ako ng lasingan nito ah. 'Pag s'ya kase ang kasama, himala 'pag walang alak sa paligid.

And now, I am heading to our favorite hang out place which is the bar that they owned. See? Isang himala lang 'pag walang alak sa paligid. I drove for just a few minutes before I reach the place. I quickly park my car.

Inayos ko muna ang sarili ko by arranging my hair and putting a lipstick and foundation before I went out of my car. As I get inside the bar, smoke and liqior scent plus the eardrums dropping music quickly encountered me, as usual. Medyo maaga pa naman pero ang dami na kaagad tao dito sa loob.

“Frila! Kyahh! Congrats!”

Isang matinis na tili at mahigpit na yakap ang agad na bumungad sa'kin ng makapasok ako sa usual VIP room namin.

I just smiled.“Thanks Gueen.”

She escorted me to sit.“Since this will be a congratulation party for you, it's my treat.” She announced bubbly followed by a waiter went beside her. She started telling her orders at halos lumuwa ang mata ko ng marinig ko na umorder s'ya ng dalawang bote ng tequila, hindi pa kasama do'n ang isang case ng beer ah. Seriously? Balak ba n'yang magpakamatay tapos damay ako? Ang dami nu'n ahh.

“Gueen, masyadong madami ang dalawang bote ng tequila. Dalawa lang tayong iinom n'yan.” I mumbled in her ear, reminding her.

“It's fine, Frila. Don't 'cha worry.” Pagkukumbinsi n'ya.

Hays. Wala na akong magagawa, walang makakapigil sakanya. Now I'm problematic on how to go home later 'coz I'm sure that I will be sick drunk after. Napangiwi na lang ako at tumingin na lang sa glass wall 'kong saan kita ang mga tao sa baba. I can see through here in my spot how wild they are.

“Aw! 'Wag ngang ganyan ang mukha mo, it's your precious day today. Halatang pinoproblema mong malasing bess. I said don't worry, I got your back.”

I just give her a forced smile. I don't think so..

——

She got my back? Tss.

Then why am I walking alone here in the parking lot while can't almost walk because of the heck dizziness? I mentally shake my head. That's why I don't think so when she said those words. Eh mas nauna pa nga s'yang na knock out sa'kin eh. Hahays.

Napahawak ako ng mahigpit sa kotse ko to support my unbalanced body when I reach it. Sumandal ako at nagsimulang kapain ang loob ng bag ko to find my car's key.

“Ugh.. W-Where is i-it?” Kumunot ang namumunghay na noo ko ng hindi ko makapa ang susi.

Nabuhayan ako ng loob ng makuha ko na at dali-daling sinimulang i-unlock ang kotse. Ngunit dahil lasing ako nahirapan akong i-unlock. Muli akong nawalan ng balanse kaya mahinang napaatras, and that give me a chance to lift up my gaze, at isang rebulto ng lalaki ang bumungad sa'kin not so far from me. Naningkit ang mga mata ko upang aninagin kung sino.

“W-Who are you?” I asked drunkedly.

Gano'n na lang ang paglaki ng mata ko ng maaninag ko sakanya ang dalawang pulang mata. It's not a simple red eyes, it looks more bloody. Sh*t! Creepy.. Napaatras ako ng makaramdam ako bigla ng takot.

He devil laughed.“What a lucky man for me. A gorgeous dinner.”

And in sudden, he's near in front of me....looking intently. What the... Te..teleport? Dahil sa bigla, mabilis at sunod-sunod na napaatras ako hanggang sa bigla akong natapilok sa heels ko at sumalampak sa sahig. I silently scream in pain when my right hand crashed on the floor hard and when I look at it, a small bruise with a little blood appeared on the side of my palm.

“F*ck!” Malutong na mura ng lalaki at dali-daling sumugod ng takbo papunta sa'kin. It's like something made him more aggresive.

Nanlaki ang mata ko at agad hinubad ang isang heels ko at walang alinlangang binato sakanya na sumapol naman sa ulo n'ya. Mahina s'yang napamura sa sakit. At alam ko na hindi sapat ang ginawa ko kaya napapikit ako at hinintay na sumugod s'ya. I guess my life will end in here with this unbelievable creature.

“Ahhhh!”

Napadaing ako sa sakit as I felt two sharp thing bit my neck. But before I could feel a suck, someone grab it real quick that made the sharp thing out in my neck.

Agad akong napahawak sa leeg ko at ramdam ko ang pagtulo ng dugo dito. I was about to open my eyes to see what happened ngunit may tumakip nito. And then I just felt myself being dragged.
