Ambrogio Vetrova Lorenzittee

All my life, I have live a very unfortunate life. When I was the only child, all my parents attention was focused to me. Everything changes when Cecilion came, especially when the third one was born.

What's wrong with me? I always obey what father said and what he teached us but he refuse to trust me and favored Cecilion instead, he who lacks interest in our kind.

The righteous man they said, but I refuse to be like that. What father wants is for us to be ambitious like him. To look up on ourselves because we're above than anyone in this world. We're powerful and no one can go against us.

We're currently here in the forest, practicing weapons like long swords. Father wants us to know how to use this because if we will go into the war, we know how to defend ourselves without just using the power granted us by the rumpletilt.

We're a bloodsuckers which later called vampires. Our kinds spreads to the whole Bulgaria. But we're not just vampires like those who became one under vampiric blood transition or on birth.

We're different. I don't know why but father always said we're different.

Me and Cecilion is playing long sword. Like what I said, I don't hold grudges against my siblings even though they're favored by our parents.

"Come on, brother. Do it like this!", natatawang sabi ko sa kanya.

Cecilion isn't that strong enough to fight with me using long swords or any kind of weapon. He's all in books and books.

Patuloy ko siyang inaatake gamit ang long sword. Cecilion is all in defense.

"Come on. Don't be a weak, brother. Show me your moves. Like this!", tumawa ako.

Cecilion laugh too with our games pero natigil kami when father interrupted us.

"You want to show your moves? Show it to me!", galit na sabi nito sa amin.

He attack me with his own long sword. Kinabahan kaagad ako. In one smash ay napatumba ako nito. He darted the long sword towards me, mabuti ay sa lupa ito tumama, sa gilid ng aking ulo.

"I didn't teach you weapons to fight. Don't mock your brother for being weak!", sabi nito sa akin.

"Father, we're just playing!", si Cecilion. He's trying to save me from father's fury.

Father pull out his sword planted on the ground right beside my head. "You're a foolish to challenge me", aniya sa akin at mabilis na umalis. "All of you are Originals so there's no strong and weak".

Cecilion help me up. I accepted his hand at tumayo na. Father is too much. All I want is for him to also notice me even though in his eyes, Cecilion always shines.

For years, I have live like that. All of us grow up into fine young man. There's just a year age gap between us.

Father's way is cruel. Do he wants more cruelty? I can give him that. I can be cruel than him just for him to notice me.

Abala ang mansion ng Lorenzittee ngayon. Our mother is laboring our baby sister. For years I've dream about it. Having a sister is amazing. I think.

Hindi kami makapasok sa kwarto na iyon. So the three of us just waited outside the room. Nakaupo si Nathaniel na parang wala lang ang nangyayari. Cecilion is here too with his favorite book. Nakatayo ako. Hindi mapakali. I want to see if mother is alright and my baby sister.

Ilang oras ay lumabas na ang mga maids sa loob. Maraming batya silang bitbit and it's full of water mixed with blood.

I focused my ear at ng marinig ang iyak ng isang bata ay halos mapatalon ako.

Umamba akong papasok ngunit pinigilan ako ng isang maids.

"Señorito, bawal po kayong pumasok", sabi nito at mabilis sinara ang pintuan.

For months, I haven't seen my sister. Palaging bawal pumasok. I tried to figure out everything but I can't. I just think that mother and father wants to protect her. Ngunit naiisip ko rin. Maybe she's born vampire. Blood lust it is. There's a lot of stages in vampire. She's the newborn vampire. Newborns are newly transitioned vampires. They become unstable because of their heightened senses and emotions. It will run for years until she'll age eighteen.

I let my patience extended. Cecilion and I are best buds when it comes to exploring the places. We've meet different kinds of people and know different kinds of cultures and practices.

We both don't like Nathaniel. He's very impulsive and immature. He's a psychotic maniac bloodsucker. We've witnessed everything he's done. I named him the wildest of us Lorenzittee.

"Look at this", sabay turo ni Cecilion sa isang medalyon na hindi ko mawari kung ano ang tunay na hugis. It's irregular trapezoid shaped.

Hindi ko iyon pinansin. Sometimes we won't really get along with his interest. He likes books and knowledge and everything like that. While I like wandering around and do adventures. Doon, magkapareho rin naman kami. Or I did influenced him for doing it.

After many years, I've noticed that we didn't age at all. Our features looks the same as when we were young. I couldn't count the years that had past. It's almost dad's golden years. His fifty years in ruling Bulgaria. Given the years of his position, we're older than that. We're half century years old and more.

Bumalik kami sa mansion namin. It's been years. Papasok pa lang kami sa gate ay natanaw na namin si Veronika. She's our sister. And she's of age.

She's in the garden, playing with her handmaiden.

"Brothers!", sigaw nito ng matanaw kaming dalawa ni Cecilion na papalapit sa kanya.

I laugh at sinalubong siya ng yakap. Cecilion hug her too. But I can only do that when our parents are not looking. I didn't forgot that they don't favor me. Both father and mother likes her. All of us likes her.

"Where have you been?", she asked.

"Just around", sagot ko dito.

She just smile. My lovely sister is happy. She fill up the warm that our parents didn't give me. She's always there for me. And that's why I love her for that.

Sabay kaming pumasok sa mansion na magkaakbay. Father and mother is out during the day so we have the whole day when the sun is still up to bond.
