La Luna Maiden

CHAPTER 4

——————

FRILA

Unfulfilled. That's the secret half part of me that no one know and no one would ever think that I could feel that way. Who would be?

I born in this world with a normal convenient life. Mayaman, diplomada, pinagsisilbihan at may kompletong pamilya. A sufficient status to be called more than enough. Pero minsan, may mga bagay na hindi estado sa buhay ang makakapunan ng pagkatao mo. Iyon ay ang isang parte ng buhay mo na makakapaglarawan ng pagkatao mo.

And I'm lost with that part...

And when I say I'm lost, it means literally. Having a lost of direction in my life, not physically but emotionally. Nowhere to be found myself.

Alam mo 'yung pakiramdam na hindi mo kilala ang sarili mo? I witnessed my whole life but I felt like I don't even know myself physically, emotionally, and mentally. I felt....empty.

But when I wake up in an unfamilliar bedroom, full of dark everywhere. I suppose to be scared but as I sniffed the air I suddenly felt satisfied and fulfilled. Strange right.. Well I used to it. I felt like I'm in the right place....for someone like me..

A sound of the door being open quickly alarmed me and clear my thoughts.

“So you're awake...” I bit my lower lip as I heard his familliar deep voice. I can't see his face right now because the room was filled with dark ngunit sa tulong na din ng ilaw sa bukas na pinto, I can clearly see his body built like a shadow.

I took a deep inhale.“W-What do you want from me?” The immediate question I asked with a tremble in my voice.

“It's, what do we want from you, for correction.” I can imagine his smirking face. He's testing me, I can feel it.

Huminga ako ng malalim. Hindi ako pwede magpadala sakanya. There is this one question that I've been wanting to have an answer. Actually, I already know the answer, but I just want to actual hear it from people with an involves in this. And I think this is the right time to ask.

“Hindi ka tao, diba?” Diretsahang tanong ko sakanya without any hestitation. Ramdam ko kung pa'no s'ya matigilan na para bang namamangha sa tanong na lumabas sa bibig ko.

“You can said those.....like it's just a common question.” He murmured amusedly.“Interesting.”

“So it's true? I'm right?” Sunod-sunod na naglabas ako ng mabibigat na hininga, like I was panting from a long run. He didn't denied it. Althought he didn't actually admit but there's a glimpse of sign with his word that he was admitting it. God.. I want him to deny it!

“Humans really are confusing. You want to know the truth but you also want me to deny it? Tsk. Tsk. Stupid.”

Biglang lumiwanag ang paligid at ngayon ay kitang-kita ko na s'ya sa harap ko. He was staring at me with a whole coldness that made me in goosebumps at the same time owe. I can't help but to scan him from head to toe. Tall, pale skin, slight muscled, perfect jaw line, pointed nose, dark eyes. He's obviously a good looking greek god, and....good smell. I suddenly sniffed. Sh*t! What's that smell coming from him? It doesn't smell perfume nor body natural smell, it's seems a different scent that I couldn't pick a word to recognise.

“A-Anong amoy 'yun?” Takang tanong ko bago pumikit at nilaliman ang pagsinghot. D*mn the scent is so good.. Biglang nanuyo ang lalamunan ko at ito na naman ang pakiramdam na sobrang nauuhaw.“I'm thirsty...” I mumbled in sudden.

“Sh*t!” I heard him cursed kaya agad akong nagmulat. Nadatnan ko ang panlalaki ng mata n'ya at ang pagmutla ng reaksyon n'ya.

Kumunot ang noo ko.

“Y-You what?” For the first time, nakakita ako ng ekspresyon sa mukha n'ya.

“W-what?”

“What did you just say?” Namumutla paring tanong n'ya. Teka ano bang nangyayari sakanya?

I sigh.“I said what's that smell and I-I'm thirsty..” Ulit ko.

“Sh*t!” Another cursed it is but this time it's not from his mouth. Bigla na lang may sumulpot sa gilid n'ya na isang lalaki kaya napaatras ako sa gulat dahilan para mapasandal ako sa headboard ng kama.

Oh gosh.. Can't they atleast be slow in showing their power or what so ever? dahil duh! I'm still in the state of progressing anything at hindi pa ako nasasanay. Wait.. Bakit ko naman sasanayin ang sarili ko eh aalis din naman ako sa poder na 'to? Kung makakaalis nga kaya ako..

“This is bad Czade. Sigurado ka ba talagang hindi s'ya napatakan ng dugo ng putang*nang bampira na 'yun?” Tarantang tanong ng lalaking kakadating lang kay Czade if I'm not mistaken his name is.

“Y-Yeah.. I smelled her blood and there is no other blood from that vampire mixing in it.”

“Then why is she signing a symptom?!” Nagulat ako sa biglaang pag-burst out ng lalaking hindi ko alam ang pangalan.

“I don't know Mrake so shut up! Hindi pa tayo sigurado kung sintomas ba ang nararamdam n'ya. She just said she's thirsty for pete's sake!”

“And what about what she smelled? She abviously smelled referring your blood!”

“Maybe it's one of the skills she possessed, smelling bloods. So stop exaggerating.”

Teka, naguguluhan ako sa pinag-uusapan nila. Smell blood? Symptoms? One of possessed skills? Can someone even tell me what are they talking about? Ok. I get it that they are vampires kaya I'm surely can't understand them. But hey, they mentioned ‘her’ so that means I'm involved dahil ako lang naman ang babae dito.

“Uhmmm.. Can I just go home? You two are vampires, I get it. But I'm not related with you guys 'coz I'm just a human so can I just go?” I interrupted conciously.

Sabay silang natigilan at napatingin sa'kin. I gulped. Kasi naman ang mga titig nila parang nangangain na ewan. Wait, 'yung titig lang pala ni Czade. Simpleng titig lang naman ang ginawa ni Mrake yata 'yun.

“W-What?” I look at them with an innocent look.“You're not gonna let me here, listen to you're discussion that I don't even understand, right? Unless.... I'm here because you're going to eat me after your discussion, d-don't you?”

Shucks! Bakit hindi ko agad naisip 'yun?! Mali.. Ni hindi ko nga naisip na nakidnap nga pala ako ng mga bampirang ito eh. Ano bang nangyayari sa'kin? Ni hindi din ako nag-violent reaction eh. I should be nervous, or scared, or trembled, or frustrated, or any negative reaction. Pero wala.. Ugh!

“Pfftttt...” Pigil sa pagtawa si Mrake kaya binigyan ko s'ya ng nagtataka na tingin.“You're funny.. Ngayon lang ako nakarinig ng tao na frustrated dahil lang walang violent reaction na nakakita ng bampira, than being scared founding us.”

I was about to ask him how did he know my thought, but yeah.. Vampires nga pala sila. Maraming fantasy elements sa katawan kaya hindi na dapat ako magulat.

“That's because she's different from other human.” A deep raspy cold voice suddenly inserted in our talk.

Sabay-sabay kaming napatingin sa gilid ko. And there, nakita ko ang isang malaki at maskuladong katawan kaya naman agad akong nag-angat ng tingin.

A cold stare encountered my eyes as I look at him. I felt a sudden intimidated. He looks 30 years older than us but that doesn't hidden that his a good looking. But doesn't the reason of my sudden intimidation. It was his presence, it's so dark. And his body built, it looks so strong and unbreakable..

Isang sandaling katahimikan ang nangyari sa'min hanggang sa magsalita ang hindi makapagpigil na bibig ko.

“Ikaw ba ang tagabantay dito? Palabasin mo naman ako dito ohh..”

And that made everyone's jaw dropped.
