THE ORIGINALS: BLOODLINE

⚜ XLI. Doppelganger ⚜

Cecilion Vetrova Lorenzittee

"There she is", sabi ni Rosemary.

My lips fall slightly open when our eyes meet. Mahigpit akong nakahawak sa railings.

Sa isang kisap mata ay kaagad ko siyang pinuntahan. I step closer to her. She step backwards.

I close the space between us and my nose almost touches hers. I sniffs her down to my neck. After for ten to fifteen seconds I step back.

"Human", I said to Rosemary. "It's impossible".

Hindi talaga ako makapaniwala. Thalia has a doppelganger and she's a human. Not werewolf?

Dahan-dahang bumaba si Rosemary sa hagdanan.

Lorenzo and Luke steps closer to the stair. Napatingin kaagad ako sa kanila ngunit mabilis din na bumaling sa reincarnation ni Artemis. I know her as Cassandra.

"Hello there", I said. "I have a long journey along with you. We should be going", he said to me, dangerously.

She cry. "Please, don't let him take me", she begged to Rosemary.

"One last business and we're done", I smiles at het.

I step backward and turn my back at her. Ngayon ay sa kay Rosemary na ako nakaharap.

"I've waited so long for this day, Cecilion", Lorenzo said. He trembled too like a scared puppy.

"Truly, very sorry", sabi ni Luke.

I smirks at them as I'm circling around them constantly.

"Oh! Your apologies isn't necessary", I put my hands on my back calmly.

"Yes. Yes, it is", Lorenzo nodded continuously as I keep on circling around them dangerously. Like a lion preying a deer. A very wild animal.

I'm not Nathaniel who's wild but, I can be one.

"You've trusted me with Thalia....", he breathed heavily. "......and I failed you".

Pareho silang mabibigat ang hininga. They all look a scared cat. Come on, don't be scared. Where's the bravery now, huh? You're so tough to turn yoir backs on me when I needed you the most. Now, you're scared? Pathetic.

"Oh! Yes you are, the guilty one", I said sarcastically and stop in front of him. "But Rosemary didn't hated you because she was loyal to you then".

Tiningala ko si Rosemary na nasa paanan ng hagdanan. And then look at Lorenzo.

"I honor", I sigh. "Where was your loyalty?", I asked Lorenzo with a very cold tone Na halos mag yelo na itong buong silid.

Matagal pa bago nito nasagot ang tanong ko. Is it too hard to answer? Bakit? Bakit kay dali niyang binali ang tiwala ko ay ngayon kay hirap sagutin ang simpleng katanungan?

"I beg you your forgiveness", Lorenzo almost cry in frighten.

I nodded. "Request granted".

Sabi ko sa kanila. I smirk again. Parehong napabuntong hininga ang dalawa dahil sa kasiyahan na kanilang nadarama. Ramdam ko iyon pero hindi ko palalagpasin ang pagkakataon na ito. I waited for this satisfying moment.

Their heads are like balls that bounces against the cold and dusty floor.

I look at his palms and try to remove the blood. I just chopped their heads off with just my hands. Lorenzo's and Luke's heads are on the ground as their bodies fall with it.

Rosemary shriek in shock. She cry with her screams. Napaluhod siya at nahulog sa hagdanan. She crawl towards Lorenzo and Luke.

"Rose, now that you're free. You can go now", I said to Rose and then glance at Cassandra. "We have to go".
