My life started normal. I never believe in anything. Supernatural is just a fiction for me. My world was confined and strictly black and white. I am skeptic and a believer of facts. But my life turn around in just a snap, life opened doors that took me off guard and beyond my comfort zone. This past few weeks, I had discovered my roots and had been involved in the supernatural realm. I can't believe that I belong here.
Malakas ang buhos ng ulan. Nakapikit pa rin ang aking mga mata. Nagtatalo na ang liwanag at ang dilim, hudyat na malapit ng sumibol ang araw. But, the pain in my heart can't subside. Hindi ko maimagine that John is now gone. I lost two loved ones again, Jane and John. I don't know how to endure this. Lucy and Angelo were both hugging me tightly. They were also crying. We let our tears be washed away with the rain. Ibinuhos ko ang lahat ng sakit na meron ako. I don't know what I should do now. In a split second, hindi ko maramdaman ang ulan at ang mga patak nito. I decided to open my eyes to see what was happening.
Lahat ay nagulat. It seems that the time had stopped. The droplets were now on hold in the air. It looks like I am in a fantasy movie. We are at dawn, where light and darkness meet. Iginala ko ang aking mga mata. Lucy and Angelo helped me to stand. We are now witnessing a spectacle. Maya't maya pa, the moons arrived out of the blue. Hindi namin alam saan sila galing but they had appeared right before us. They are all covered in blood, their own blood. Kakaiba ang kulay ng dugo nila, it is in the shade of gold. Kumikinang ang bawat patak nito. Mukhang nanghihina ang mga buwan.
One thing I noticed, the Luna I know was not with them. "Nasaan si Luna?" tanong ko. Tears are now evident in the eyes of the moons. Nagsimula na ding dumagundong and kaba sa dibdib ko. Tears are now falling in my eyes too. I cannot endure a pain anymore. I had too much. Sabay-sabay na umiling ang bawat isang buwan. Luna is gone. Nanghina muli ang aking mga tuhod. I had lost three important persons in my life. How can I endure this? How? Sugatan ang lahat ng buwan. Lumapit silang lahat sa akin at yumakap. I can feel their sorrow and mourning. Sabay sabay kaming nagluksa. After a second, parang bulang nawala sa hangin ang buwan, kasabay ng pagsikat ng araw. The sun shone already pero ang buong puso ko ay naiwan sa mga naganap kagabi. My heart was shattered into pieces.
Masakit man at durog na durog ang aking kalooban, somehow, I feel comforted seeing all the wolves, vampires and dream walkers united as one. Nakapalibot pa rin silang lahat sa amin. I decided to get up and take what John's and Luna's life's cost. They both risked their life for my inheritance. It is time for me to stand firm. "As your leader, there will be no divisions in our races. We are all creatures of wonder and deserving of a normal life." I declared. All of them knelt to the ground as a sign of reverence. Seeing all of them, gave me a new sense of purpose. This is what we had fought for. I will treasure this, from this moment until eternity.
Five years passed, I am still serving as the tribe's leader and as the supreme ruler of La Unidad. Peace reign in our races. We are united. The first years of my reign were difficult because I need to refine and amend many things. But fortunately, after years of hard work, we are able to establish our foundations well. On the other hand, the phases of the moon was never completed since Luna and Nueva died on that night. The other moons always visited our place and joined our celebrations but it is not completely joyous because deep inside of us, we are still in pain about Luna's disappearance. In daytime, I had become the C.E.O of John's and Rebecca's company. Nalaman ko din na ang parehas na kumpanya ay pagmamayari ng mga lobo at ng La Unidad. Tonight, Luna was supposed to be shining since it's the full moon but since her death, the full moon was nowhere to be found in the skies. People are confused about not seeing the moon on its fullness but we know what happened. In this times, the other moons visit our place for a monthly gathering and celebration. This is the commemoration for all the bravery we witness that night.
Malakas ang tunog ng mga tambol sa tuktok ng bundok. I am now here in Benguet. Malamig ang simoy ng hangin. Bonfires lit up the whole place alongside with the majestic lights that the moons always bring. The place looks heavenly with the mixture of divine beauty and earthly splendor. Joy is all over the place. Mukhang magdamag kaming sasayaw sa saliw ng tambol. When the night was on its peak, all of us gather in one place and show off our powers. "Ms. Vera, it is about time. Come on! Show us your fur!" matinis na sigaw ni Lucy. I don't know how, but Lucy never changed. Angelo finished his story and was now at the top lists of the most sold books nationwide. His published story was so close to my reality. I guess, dream weaver talaga siya. "Ms. Vera!" sigaw ni Angelo. Nagmadali na akong sumunod sa kanila.
When I was about to speak, a series of thunder and lightning echoed all over the place. Nakakatakot ang tunog. Kabado kaming lahat. In a split second, Angelo's eyes turned silver, sign na ginagamit niya ang kanyang kapangyarihan. "Angelo, are you okay?" tanong ko. Agad namang dinaluhan ni Lucy ang kanyang kapatid. The moons are all worried too. Pigil ang paghinga ng lahat. Tumigil din ang lahat ng tunog sa paligid. Bumagsak sa lupa ang lalaki at humihiyaw sa sakit. Lumapit ako kay Angelo. I held his head. "Angelo what is happening?" tanong ko habang nanginginig ang aking mga tuhod dahil sa takot. I am afraid kung ano mang pwede naming marinig mula sa lalaki. Natatakot ako para sa kapayapaan na aming natatamasa. Angelo is a dream weaver and a seer. He can see visions.
"They are coming!" sigaw ng lalaki ng paulit ulit. They are coming? Sinong dadating?
