SOMEONE's POV

"She recognised us?" He asked. The concern was written in his eyes.

"Yeah, I don't even know how." Tugon ko na nasa pinipinta lang ang tingin.

"Do you think she'll tell our friends about our true identity?" 

"I don't know." Tugon ko't uminom ng dugo sa wine glass at muling nagpatuloy sa pagpinta.

Matapos ang pagbisita namin kay Daegan ay agad din kaming umuwi dahil wala naman kaming klase.

"It scares me whenever I think of her telling our friends about our real identities. Even if we reveal who and what kind of person she is, she wouldn't give a damn." Naupo siya't ihinilig ang ulo sa balikat ko. "They've been our friends for many years. I don't want to lose them." 

Marahan kong sinuklay ang buhok niya gamit ang mga daliri ko. "Don't worry, I won't let her."

JUDY ANN's POV

"Wow... I can't believe I could see you here, my cousin." Puno ng panunuya na sabi ni Kieran.

Dahil sa kabaliwan ko kay Daegan ay kung anu-ano na ang mga nagagawa ko. I tried to deny my feelings for him, but my heart wouldn't let me. However, I won't let my heart win against my mind. I will stick to my goals and won't care about him. 

"You don't care where I want to go." Walang ganang sabi ko sabay upo sa stool chair. I am here at the club owned by Kieran, and I don't care about that. I badly want to remove Daegan from my mind and especially from my heart because he's like a virus that starts eating my whole system. 

"What drink do you want, my cousin?" He asked sarcastically, referring to the many bottles of wine for humans at the counter. 

"Do you want to drink that too? I'll pay." Balik tanong ko.

He tsk. "What brings you here?"

Inikot ko ang stool chair na kinauupuan at pinanood ang mga tao na parang tangang sumasayaw sa gitna ng dance floor. I wonder what they will get from doing that. Humans are really weird. They are wasting their energy for nothing.

"I was thinking of murdering all these stupid humans." Kibit balikat na sabi ko.

"Don't you dare make any mess in my club. You wouldn't like it if you pissed me off."

Nilingon ko siya't nginisian. "You can't threaten me, cousin. You know, except for his majesty, no one can scare me."

"Don't be so full of yourself, Judy, because in this battle we had, I am pretty sure I'll be the one to win the throne."

"Dream on cousin. Dream on." Sabi ko sabay tapik sa balikat niya't mabilis na naglaho.

Pagsulpot ko sa kuwarto ko sa unit ko ay mahigpit na napahawak ako sa gilid ng kama nang makaramdam ako ng pagkahilo.

Tumingala ako sa kisame at paulit-ulit na nagbuntong hininga. My breath's getting heavier again. My throat, which had never experienced thirst, is now experiencing not just thirst but also hunger. 

Days have passed, and I am getting weaker. Every time I tried to kill a human to fulfil my desire for a human's blood, his words always haunted me, and it always made me feel guilt that I should not feel. 

Nang hindi ko na matiis ang pagkauhaw na nararamdaman ko ay mabilis na nag-teleport ako sa kitchen at binuksan ang ref. Kumuha ng isang bote at akmang iinomin na sana ang dugong laman ng bote nang maalalang dugo rin ito galing sa tao at muli na naman akong nakaramdam ng guilt kaya sa inis ay marahas na itinapon ko ang bote maging ang iba pa saka sinabunutan ang sarili't muling nag-teleport pabalik sa kuwarto't parang baliw na isinubsob ang mukha sa unan.
