THE ORIGINALS: BLOODLINE

⚜XIV. Son⚜

Veronika Vetrova Lorenzittee

We're here at Western country. I don't know the exact place ngunit dito ako dinala ang aking mga magulang dahil sa nangyari.

Dimitri died and our masion is attacked by the Sabbatarians. I know Dimitri isn't one of them, or maybe that's what I try to tell to myself.

They kill all the population of vampires, it's just our family that's left. And our parents trying to calm me down by taking me to other places. Father and mother are very upset to my brothers for killing Dimitri.

I love him and they should have spared his life. And our parents only listen to me. It is because I'm hurt deeply. I love the guy. Even though they're trying to tell me that Dimitri is one of the Sabbatarians they shouldn't have kill him.

Cecilion. He killed Dimitri. I'm fuming mad at him for doing that.

He's just jealous that I already found someone to love and he still isn't kahit na araw-araw naman silang lumalabas. All of then doesn't believe in love.

I don't want to love anyone else other than Dimitri but now he's gone. I can't forgive them.

Habang nasa tanggapan ako sa bahay namin dito ay may narinig kong nagtatalo. We're still in our vacation so whatever they are arguing about must be about the place. Ngunit ng marinig ko ang malakas na sigaw ng aming ina ay mabilis akong umakyat sa itaas.

"Vladiskav, please listen to me. I'm sorry", sabi ng aking ina.

Idinikit ko ang aking tenga sa pintuan para mas marinig pa sila.

"What, Jestiva? Ano pang papakinggan ko? Iyang kasinungalingan mo? You should have told me earlier!", father shouted.

"I'm sorry, Vlad. I really don't have a perfect time or chance to tell it to you. I'm sorry!", mother cried.

Kaagad umusbong ang kaba sa aking dibdib. What is this? Are they going to separate now? If that so, I'll come with our mother.

"Why, Jestiva? Why? All these years you kept a secret from me? Huh, why?", paulit-ulit na tanong nito.

"I'm so sorry, Vladiskav. I thought we won't have children. For years of being together you didn't got me pregnant so I run away from our home and go back to Bulgaria....", mother continue crying. "....there, I meet a man. There's something happened between us and I got pregnant. I thought being pregnant and going back to you will fulfill our dreams for having a big family. And I'm sorry".

Father didn't talk.

"And I didn't tell you because I saw how happy you are seeing me pregnant. We'll finally have a baby---".

"A baby that's not mine!".

Mother cried more. "I'm sorry, Vlad. I love you so I try to find other way to make you happy. Seeing you having unfulfilled dreams tortured me. I'm sorry about Ambrogio. I know you don't favor him because he isn't your real son. And me too, I'm guilty about it. He's created in a wrong way. I feel very guilty", mother continue crying.

Napatulala ako. Ambrogio isn't father's son? He's my half brother? And who is his father?

Ambrogio Vetrova Lorenzittee

Napapalibutan kami ng limang taong-lobo. All of them are in their human form. Kanina ay tatlo lamang sila ngunit ngayon ay nadagdagan ng isang babae at isa pang lalaki.

I can feel they are out of numbers. Maliit lamang na pack ang kinaroruonan nila. Para silang natiwalag sa mga pack na kinabibilangan nila. Let's say rogues. They are rogues.

Werewolves are not so common in Bulagaria. Where are we now?

I heard werewolves are in Romania. And that is very much far from here.

They step closer to us at hinanda ko na rin ang sarili ko. Cecilion didn't move and inch. Nakatingin lamang ito sa mga kalaban. His hair is a bit disheveled because of the attack earlier. His lips are slightly open.

Napatingin ako sa mga kalaban na naroon. I saw a familiar clothing at the girl. Now I know. It's Cecilion first layer suit. Bakit nasa kanya iyon?

When the wolves attack us, I summoned atmokinesis power to stop them. I created a storm between us and the enemies.

"Ambrogio, no!", Cecilion stop me but I didn't listen to him. Why does he want me to stop? He wants us to die?

I summoned pyrokinesis again to put fire in between. The wolves back down. They step back.

Nagulat nalang ako ng may tubig na pumatay sa apoy na ginawa ko. And it's Cecilion who did it.

Napatingin ako sa kanya.

"Why did you do that?", inis na tanong ko.

"Just stop. You're hurting them", pagalit na sabi niya sa akin.

They are shifted back to their human form. At apat nalang silang naroon. The girl is gone. And Cecilion look insane. What's wrong with him?

"Who are you? You should be dead because of our bite", sabay turo ng isang lalaki sa kay Cecilion.

Napatingin ako sa kung saan ito nakagat kanina. I look at his shoulder, there's nothing there but a bloodstain.

"Werewolf bite is fatal to vampires. How can you still be alive!?", one of them asked angrily.

"It doesn't matter. We don't want to fight with you", sabi ni Cecilion sa mga ito. "We're here not for a fight".

"How can we make sure that you're not up for a fight when you won't tell us how are you still alive after a bite from us?", tanong nitong muli.

"Vampires can't control elements and any other power like that. You're not normal vampires. What are you!?", one of them asked coldly.

"We call ourselves Originals. We are not just a normal vampire. So if you want to live, have peace with us", sabi ko sa kanila kaya natigilan sila.

Biglang bumukas ang pinto ng bahay na nasa malapit sa amin. The same girl went out but with different clothes. Kasama nito ang isang hindi naman katandaan na lalaki.

"Leave this visitors. I'll take it from here", sabi nito sabay pasada ng tingin sa amin ni Cecilion.

When his eyes meet mine ay kaagad akong kinabahan. I can feel a connection between us. A very strong connection. The old man smile at me.

"Come inside", sabi nito kaya pumasok kami sa bahay na naroon.

Naupo kami sa sofa na nasa kanilang tanggapan. The house is not that bad, but it isn't big as ours. Just a normal wooden masonry house.

"Hija, tell your brothers to come here", sabi ng matanda sa babaeng nasa tabi nito.

Napatingin ako sa kanya ng kausapin siya ng matanda. Her eyes drifted to Cecilion. Kumunot ang noo ko. I've seen different kind of things inside her eyes. Ng makaalis na ay bumaling ako sa aking kapatid.

The brute just look at the ground, without caring around.

"What brings you here?", tanong ng matanda sa amin.

"We're looking for something", sagot ko sa kanya.

Huminga siya ng malalim. "I really thought I won't see you, hijo. You mean everything to me", the old man smile at me. "My son", he added.
