Elisha's POV

What an empty sky. Full of darkness. There's no stars. I'm still preoccupied from what I discover earlier.

Why does she need to kill someone? Is she really that thirsty? I know that she's a vampore but she can't be that reckless everytime.

Sa sobrang daming impormasyon kong nalaman kanina nakalimutan ko na palang tanungin kay Misu kung alam ba n'ya kung nasan si Lola Santiago. May tiwala ako kay Misu dahil kaya n'yang pumasok sa isipan ng isang tao kaya hindi na ako nagtaka kanina kung bakit andami na agad n'yang nalalaman. Pero hindi ko alam kung bakit kailangan pa n'yang sumunod sa amin, may dapat ba s'yang sasabihin sa'kin kanina?

"What are you thinking?" A soft manly voice came from the other side.

He was on his veranda at ako rin.

Makatapat ang naging kwarto namin kahit na maraming pagitan kung tutuusin. Kapag sa loob mo tinignan ay mukhang magkalayo pero kapag nasa veranda kami pareho ay magkatapat lamang.

"....nothing, just wondering 'bout something," I said in a low voice.

"You seem problematic." It was a statement.

"I'm a Queen, what do you expect?"

"Yeah, but have you ever imagine your life when you're just an ordinary person in Marforia?"

A long silence passed. We're just starting at each other like we're somehow communicating using our mind but we don't.

I just nodded as respose.

"Do you think you would be happy?" he asked while looking at me intensely.

"I think so. . . Uhm kase choice ko pa rin naman sigurong maging masaya kahit hindi ako royal blood. Somehow, it's still my decision. "

Having conversation with him feels like I'm at peace.

He laughed. "Why?" I asked. Why would he laugh at my answer?

He stop laughing for a while.

"Pero kung papipiliin ka, anong gusto mo maging ordinary lang or royal blood pa rin? For me, I'll still choose this life," he said in a very charming way.

"Ako din siguro haha..."

We stared at each other for a few minutes bago ko napagdesisyunan na tumingala sa langit.

Bakit kaya walang bituin? Do people became stars when they die? Do they guide others?

Ngabuntong hininga lang ako bago magpaalam na matutulog na. Si Vamy ay kanina pa tulog kaya baka maalimpungatan pa kapag nakarinig pa s'ya ng boses.

Kinabukasan ay tinanghali ako ng gising dahil malamig. Umaambon na ngidilat ko ang mata ko, kaya siguro walang bituin kagabi dahil sasapit na ang tag-ulan. Tiyak ay marami na namang negosyo ang mapeperwisyo, hindi pa nga sila gaanong nakakabawi sa ginawa ni Ellison. Speaking of Ellison mukhang matagal na akong walang balita sa kanya. May binabalak na naman kaya s'ya? Hindi ba pwedeng manahimik na lang s'ya sa North Palem?

Kahit na tinatamad pa akong bumangon ay wala din akong magagawa dahil marami pa akong kailangan asikasuhin.

Dahil nga tinanghali ako ng gising, si Vamy ay katatapos lang maligo kaya nagpadala na lang kami kay Caine ng umagahan dito sa kwarto. Na-kwento din sa'kin ni Vamy na mukhang busy daw ang dalawa sa pagbabantay kay Szain, panigurado ay excited ang mga iyon.

"Aalit ka ba ulit ngayon?" tanong ni Vamy habang nakasimangot.

Nilingon ko ito bago sumagot, "Kailangan e," I said while combing my hair.
