Bit Of Time [ATARIA SERIES #1]

PROLOGUE

Thousands of years ago, away from our  universe, there was a thing called The War of Ataria. The five leaders from different races disagreed with the Porta's leader that caused the Porta to declare a war against them. And so the five leaders decided to team up and call theirselves "Porte".

But at the end of the dawn, the Porta won against Porte because the races didn't unite enough. They stole almost everything from Porte. Because of failing and loosing everything, Porte's world became food deprived and the population started to feel the hunger, that's where blood started to drip.

For the new beginning of her future kingdom, a fearless girl named Susan was commanded by her father, one of the five leaders, to find a way and solve their kingdom's problem. She immediately led her way to the nearest kingdom and ask for help.

She was about to leave when she heard someone screaming and asking for help. She wasn't mystified at all, their world was full of blood and sorrow during that time.

"Tulong! A-ah! Can someone help me? Tulong!" A man's voice. She followed the voice and run as fast as she can.

Hindi niya inaasahan ang kaniyang nilalang na makikita, kakaiba sa iba't ibang mga nilalang na karaniwang nandirito. Lumakas ang ihip ng hangin at bumababa na ang araw na tila pinapalitan ng maliwanag na buwan.

She was shocked at unti-unting bumagal ang takbo ng mundo niya. She just unlocked a new emotion. It's different, what is this feeling? Is it fear?

Blood was dripping over his arms and he can't stand, his other leg was injured. The stars blinked as their eyes met.

"Ako ay ipinanganak ng may ginto sa mga kamay at may dugong bughaw, bakit ko tutulungan ang isang bagay na mahina ang lipad?" She said with a rude tone.

He was confused, her words was so deep. He then smiled bitterly after understanding her deep-deep words. Buti nalang talaga at marunong din itong magsalita ng mga malalalim na uri talata.

At dahil nga duwag ang lalaki, hindi ito nagsalita at niyakap nalang ng mahigpit ang kaniyang bagahe na punong puno ng mga libro na para bang aatakihin siya ng babae. He gulped. He gulped once more as Susan raised her left eyebrow from annoyance making him gulp once again.

'Duwag! Duwag ang mga nilalang na ito.' Sabi ng babae sa sarili na pilit naghihitay sa sagot ng lalaki. Huminga ang lalaki na mas lalalim pa sa dagat bago magsalita.

"Ikaw ay may matabil na dila ngunit binibini, ako'y humihingi ng awa. Ako ngayo'y makapal ang mukha, mas nanaisin kong maging alipin mo kaysa sa maubusan ng dugo at tumigil sa pagtibok ang aking puso." The guy replied while lying on the ground and holding his harmed arm tightly.

"Sa tingin mo ba'y mahuhulog ako sa iyong matamis na dila? Isa ka ba sa mga espiya na galing sa ikaunang mundo na nagngangalang... Porta?" She replied coldly while walking slowly to the guy.

Umiling ang misteryosong lalaki.

Pilit ang pagtago ni Susan sa pagka-malabot ng puso nito, ang mala engkantadang mata ng lalaki na nasa kaniyang harapan ay ang pinakamarikit na matang nakita ni Susan sa buong buhay niya na mas lalong ikina-taka nito kung saan nanggaling ng lalaki.

'Her left eye is red and the other one's pure black, this is unbelievable.' bulong naman ng lalaki sa sarili na pilit itinatayo ang lumpong biyas.

"Kung titignan ng iyong marikit na m-mata ang aking mga mata, makikita mo ba na mayroong p-pruweba?" He stuttered. The guy started to feel sick from the lots blood he lost, nandidilim na ang paningin at hirap nang huminga.

Susan sat at the ground infront of the guy at may nakita siyang kagat sa gitnang balikat nito, probably from another person of her own race. Hinawakan nito ang braso ng lalaki at tinignan ng malalim sa mata, mukha ngang naghihirap na ang lalaki sa sakit.

Her eyes was unique, in fact wala pa siyang nakikitang ganto sa kanilang mundo. Those eyes was really ravishing, and no other words can replace what he feels.

"Ika'y aking tutulungan ngunit kung ikaw ay may balak na gawing 'di kanais-nais, ika'y aking papaslangin sa harap ng aking kaharian." Napalunok na lamang ito at tumango.

Ano pa nga ba ang magagawa nito? Ang maging alipin ng isang ng isang marikit na babae ngunit may malamig na pakikisama ang tanging hirang na paraan.

Habang buhat ni Susan ang lalaki na may bagaheng hawak-hawak sa likuran, naisipan nito na magtanong dahil sa ibang klaseng pagkilos at pananalita ng babae. Meron siyang kakaibang lakas at nakita din nito kung gaano kabilis tumakbo and binibini.

"B-binibini, maaari ko bang malaman ang pangalan ng lugar na ito? A-anong oras na? Bakit puro puno lamang ang nandito?"

"Sa ngayon hampaslupang Ginoo..." Nanlaki ang mga mata ng lalaki ng marinig ang mga salita ng babae. Kanina lamang ay akala niyang wala siyang  pinapakitang damdamin, ngayon ay nalaman ng lalaki na wala talaga itong damdamin.

"Wala muna akong masasabi kundi ang aking pangalan. Ako nga pala si Susan! Pero ang aking buong pangalan ay Susan Ayla Elias." She continued walking as she smile.

Her smile is totally beautiful, to the that fact she even made the guy blush.

The time he saw her smile, he knew it. She's a vampire. Those fangs, her pale skin, her strength, everything. Little did he know that the myths are true. But he didn't care, atleast she's happy.

"I'm... I can't tell you right now but you can call me Noir."

"H-hindi kita maintindihan Ginoo." His face was shocked as he realized that he said something she wouldn't understand.

"A-ah, tawagin mo nalang akong Noir hehehe, pwede din namang baby or honeypie or babe or Romeo ng buhay mo!" He chuckled.

That time, that was the time he knew, he's falling for her. The way she talks, the way she walks, the way she ever exist. He's very whipped for her, it's like he's hypnotized or something, it's unexplainable.

It's the time where the story begins. The curse, the book, the door, everything starts. It's either a happy ending or not.

Thousands of years ago, Susan found out that an immortal and a human can fall in love, but not a normal one. There's such thing called risks and sacrifices.
