PROLOGUE

"Breaking news! Blood banks are now facing a huge problem of rapid decreasing numbers of blood supplies and due to this crisis, some vampires have been reported to be aggressive and started to hunt down human to feed their thirst this past days. But according to the king himself, they are now finding the solution for-"

I turned the television off after hearing the news. Hindi ko na ito tinapos at wala akong balak tapusin ang ganung balita na halos araw-araw ng laman ng mga telebisyon at pahayagan.

I'm not really in the mood to watch nor listen to news that has something to do with those good for nothing filthy bloodsuckers. Waste of time.

They are not worthy of my time.

I rested my head on the sofa and covered my eyes using my right arm. I heaved sigh. Vampires. Why did they even appeared in our world? I don't know when those creatures ruled this world but all I know is when I opened my eyes and I already had the knowledge, they were already here.

Ruling us, humans. Degrading the whole humanity because for them, humans like me are weak and made us their servants and even their fcking blood supplier. For 20 years of existing in this world and living alone with no one for 3 years now, I became aware of everything.

I had enough knowledge even if vampires cut our rights when it comes to education, thanks to my parents who taught me how to write, read, count, etc.

My mind keeps contradicting how the government- the king and his council ruled our world. They should go back to where they belong. If they haven't been here, maybe humans can have the freedom they want. Do the things they can do, walk in the streets without feeling scared, make friends, enjoying all the things from small to big and trusting someone.

Ever since my whole family died or maybe it's accurately to say that they were killed by rogue vampires- who happened to have the lowest control to blood lust and were turned vampires, I forgot how to trust. I forgot how to even feel the emotions I had before that nightmare. I forgot how to be what a human has to be. And it was all because of the damn vampires who keeps sucking people's blood for their own satisfaction.

Hard, right? As hard as the wall I have built to myself.

Napaayos ako ng upo ng makarinig ng yabag mula sa aking kwarto. Now, who is that? Grabbing the silver knife I bought from the shop I passed by yesterday, I hold it firmly and stood up. Based of some research, silver makes a vampire weak so I bought this for security purposes and now I'm about to use it.

Kung ano man 'to na nasa kwarto ko, sana di ako mapahamak.

Dahan-dahan akong naglakad patungong kwarto ko. The door is closed so I slowly put my ears to it. Naririnig ko ang pagbagsak at pagkabasag ng mga gamit mula sa loob.

Agad akong kinilabutan.

Paano 'to nakapasok ng kwarto ko? Sa pagkakaalala ko malayo ito sa mataong lugar kaya imposibleng tao 'to. May mga nilagay din akong patibong sa paligid ng bahay na tinutuluyan ko. Mula kasi nang mamatay ang aking pamilya, nilisan ko ang bahay namin sa bayan at lumipat dito sa aming maliit na bahay na pinaglumaan na ng panahon pero napakatibay.

Masyado ba ako nagpakapante na walang makakaisip na may tao dito? I should have tightened the traps I made or put more metals to cover every windows.

Maybe I'll do that after dealing whoever is inside my room. Pinipigilan ko ang paghinga dahil baka marinig ako. Delikado.

Dahan-dahan kong hinawakan ang seradura ng pinto pero bago ko pa man ito mapihit ay bigla itong bumulusok na parang tinulak ng pwersahan kung kaya't nasama ako at nadaganan nito pagkabagsak sa sahig.
