Kinuha ni Matthew ang bottle ng holy water sa side table ni Allison kasama na din ang ilang mga armas ni Allison na gawa sa silver. Ibinigay niya ang mga ito kay Allison at ibinulong ang mga katagang: "Let's trust each other on this."
Tumango si Allison at agad na inihanda ang sarili.
"ALLISON!!! ANO BA?!?"
Nang hindi marinig ang sagot ni Allison ay agad nitong pinatumba ang pintuan dahil sa galit.
"Nasan ka b--"
Hindi napatapos ni Stefan ang sasabihin nang bigla siyang atakihin ni Matthew at itinulak sa sahig. Pilit itong nagpupumiglas pero napatigil ito nang itinusok ni Allison ang mga kutsilyong hawak sa mga kamay nito. Nakapako ang magkabilang mga kamay nito sa sahig at agad na nalilisik ang mga matang nitong kulay dugo. Subalit laking gulat nila Allison nang humalakhak ito nang parang nakakainsulto.
"HAHAHAHAHA! NAKATAKAS KA PALANG HAYOP KA."
"Manahimik ka!" Sigaw ni Allison.
Pero patuloy lamang itong tumawa.
"Ngayon kung gusto mo pang mabuhay, sabihin mo saamin ang lahat ng nalalaman mo!" Tinutukan ni Allison ng isa pang kutsilyo ang leeg ni Stefan. "What do you know?!?"
"Hmmm...palaban ang fake heiress. I like it," natatawang sabi ni Stefan.
"What are you talking about? Just spill the beans and we'll spare your life," ani ni Matthew.
"Tik-tok-tik-tok. The more you waste your precious time on me, the more chances you waste on saving your love ones," sagot ni Stefan na may kasabay na halakhak.
This time, lalong inilapit ni Allison ang patalim sa leeg ng bampira. "Quit your guessing game and just tell us everything you know!"
Panay halakhak lamang ito at hindi na mapilit na magsalitang muli.
"Allison, we need to go now," sabi ni Matthew.
Uhaw si Allison sa mga kasagutang nais niyang marinig mula sa step father niya subalit tila'y wala itong planong sagutin ang mga tanong na ito.
"Allison," ani ni Matthew. "Wala tayong mapapala sa kanya. Let's go."
Hinawakan ni Matthew ang braso ni Allison, pero laking gulat niya nang pumiglas ito sa kanya at pinulot ang holy water. Walang oras na sinayang si Allison at agad na ibinuhos sa bibig ni Stefan. Mabilis na nagliyab ang buong katawan nito. At ang kanina'y panay tawang Stefan, sumisigaw na ngayon habang nangingisay ang unti-unting nagiging abo niyang katawan.
"Damn," sabi ni Allison. "That was satisfying."
_______________________________
Allison's POV
Nag-guilty ako but at the same time natutuwa sa ginawa ko. I have never thought I'd be able to do such thing in my life. Nakapatay ako ng bampira. It was rather satisfying. But what will mom say?
"Matthew, pano kung malaman ni mom ang ginawa ko?"
"As far as I know, he's your grandfather's minion that's up to no good. Obviously, he only approached your mom just so he could spy on you. Tingin ko maiintindihan naman ng mom mo kung bakit nagawa mo yun."
Matinding kaba ang nararamdaman ko. Sa ngayon, I don't know what will happen or what to expect. All I know is that danger awaits me the moment I step out of this car.
"By the way, he mentioned something about a 'fake heiress'. What did he mean by that?" That question suddenly popped out of my mind.
Naka-focus si Matthew sa road as he drove through the dark pathways. He didn't even seem to pay much attention to my question.
"We still don't know about that," simple niyang sagot.
"Stefan seemed to know a lot pero he just won't tell us. But I guess he deserved death under my hands."
There was a sudden shift of expression in Matthew's eyes that I could not decipher.
"Let's just hope that it was his last death."
"What?"
"May kakayahan siyang mag-regenerate," sagot ni Matthew. "Like most vampires, he too was given an ability...an ability to live again after a series of deaths."
"That's impossible," sabi ko. "I never heard nor read about something like that."
"But there's a limit," he replied. "He won't be able to live again if he already used his ability more than his age."
"What, like if he's 100 years old and he used his ability 101 times already, it's game over?"
Matthew nodded.
And I was left mind blown.
That's it for now😉
