Nathaniel Vetrova Lorenzittee
Fifty years have passed since the shit day begins. It's the golden year of Vladiskav's death.
I went back to Bulgaria to look for the changes. It saddened me that I didn't witness how my hometown innovated. The Bulgaria is not like before. Their are lots of buildings here, taller than the old ones, and I'm sure the new ruler is very good at handling the town.
Within those years, I didn't stop looking for Cecilion. I look for him every ppaces I've been through but those places failed me. Kahit saan na ako nakarating ngunit wala akong makita. Or Veronika. I'm sure mother is already dead. Given the years and she's not one of us. It must be very difficult for Veronika to stay alone. Or maybe she found someone to lean on.
I left Bulgaria again a year after. I saw that they didn't celebrate the golden year of Vladiskav's death. My father is a real jerk ruler. He's very cruel. News from him is probably written in history and the new generation right now learn that he's not a good ruler.
Lumabas ako ng Bulgaria. The people are always visiting the town, marami na kasing nagbago.
Gabi na ng pinagpasyahan kong tumulak na. Naglalakad lamang ako sa daan ng may karwahe akong nakasalubong. The torch is in front kaya natanaw kong hindi gumagalaw ang karwahe.
The carriage looks old.
"Mister, what's wrong with your carriage?", lumapit ako doon para tingnan ang nangayari.
"Nahulog ang sako ng bigas at hindi ko kayang buhatin ", the poor old man said.
"I'll do it for you, mister", sabi ko at walang kahirap-hirap ni binuhat ang isang sako ng bigas. For me, it's just lifting a pillow.
Ngumiti ang matanda. I see he lost two teeth. "Maraming salamat, hijo", he smile genuinely to me.
Kaagad bumaba ang tingin ko sa kanyang leeg ngunit kaagad kong pinigilan ang aking sarili. I'm hungry and I'm craving with blood but I can't feed on this old man. He must have been coming home late because he's working too hard to feed his own family.
"Have a safe trip", sabi ko at mabilis na lumayo sa kanya.
Even I'm the wildest, I still feel pity to those helpless people. I remember my father to him. Ambrogio is wrong. Father also work hard to raised us with no problems in terms of wealth and food. The only mistake he ever made was to treat us unequally.
I made my way to exit the town when I saw someone standing at the center of the road. Nakatingala ito sa buwan. Looks like he's trying to get information from the moon. Habang papalapit ako ay mas lalo kong narinig ang kanyang boses. He's enchanting to the moon, the dark clouds are moving too fast. Bigla nalang kumulog at lumabas ang malaking kidlat.
"Cecilion?", I called when I got to see his face as the moon passes us, it shines in his face kaya buo ang kutob ko na ang naroon ay ang aking kapatid. "It's you!", mabilis akong tumakbo palapit sa kanya at mayakap siya.
I miss him so much. Sobra ang pangungulila ko sa pamilya when we got to separate. Living alone for fifty years gives me hopeless life. Like I'm just living for nothing. I want to die but I can't die.
"Where have you been?", kaagad akong kumalas sa kanya.
His eyes looks different. It's the same color as the moon tonight. Blueish white. His expression is cold.
"At the hills", maikling sagot nito sa akin.
"I've been looking all over for you", sabi ko at niyakap muli siya ngunit mabilis lamang iyon.
After that, his expression changes and his eyes are back to normal. "I've been so cruel for the fifty years without you, Nathaniel", he blurted out. "I'm sorry I didn't look for you".
Kaagad akong tumawa. I'm happy. "Let's not think about the passing years without each other, brother. What's important is we have each other back now", sabi ko sa kanya.
Marami pa kaming pinag-usapan tungkol sa mga taong lumipas. We share each others thing not until he mention Ambrogio.
"He deserves it, brother. It's not you who made you like this. It is him", sabi ko.
"I made a consortium with the moon goddess to punish Ambrogio. All the generations from him will suffer with the consequences", sabi niya sa akin.
He told me everything about what he did. He also told me that Ambrogio left the Bulgaria and travel to Romania. That's why, right now, we're here in Romania.
Hindi ko alam kung anong lugar itong pinasok namin ni Cecilion ngunit ng makarating kami sa isang kulay itim na gate at may arko sa itaas nito.
It's written in italic bold, the word says 'Balkan Clan'.
"What is this place?", tanong ko.
"The first clan that Ambrogio turn to vampirism under vampiric blood transition", sagot nito sa akin.
"And why are we here? For him to see us and hurt us again!?", pagalit na tanong ko.
The air is fill with stinky blood. The road is muddy. Maraming mga bampira kaming nakakasalubong at halos lahat ng ito ay hindi kami pinapansin. If they know Ambrogio, they should have recognize us because we are both cut from the same cloth, except that Ambrogio has different father. But you see, we still have visual similarities.
"To know your enemy, you get closer to them", sagot nito sa akin. "And, he's no longer here, brother. Ambrogio has his own kingdom in the town Sighisoara and spreads vampirism".
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. He went that far? If Ambrogio has his own kingdom, that means he is beyond more powerful and deadly than he is before.
"Let's go there", biglang sabi ko.
Kaagad akong nilingon ni Cecilion. He glared at me. "We won't. I've made someone do it for us", he confidently said.
Days, weeks, months and years pass of staying in Balkan Clan, I realize something. They aren't under the supervision of Ambrogio who's now ruling the Sighisoara town.
The Balkan Clan has their own governmental policies and the vampires obeyed them. Tanging kami lamang ni Cecilion ang hindi nabibilang dito.
Pero hindi na ako nangamba pa para doon. We compelled each and everyone of them to forget when they saw us and after having an interaction with one of us.
And every night, hindi nakatakas sa akin ang palaging pagtitingala ni Cecilion sa buwan. I didn't bother him with his own actions. What he is doing is out of my hands. While his doing his own thing, I'm doing my own.
Since there's nothing to feed on here. No humans and I need to feed with blood so I feed on from the vampires outside Balkan Clan.
