The Last Bloodsucker ✔

Chapter 14

I've been haunted by a bad dream for the past few days. And it's making me sick just by thinking about it, especially whenever I'm alone in my house or office.

Long fangs
Bloody lips
Glowing red eyes

It's a vampire, but it wasn't Mara.

"Good morning, Doc. Welcome back!"- my co-doctor greeted me.

Yup, you read it right. My vacation was already over, and here I am now. Back to the mental asylum again to talk to our chief doctor.

"Mas lalo kang gumanda doc."

"You too, Anna."- I said, smiling to the nurse I passed by.

Rinig na rinig sa puting hallway ang ingay ng mga pasyente mula sa kani kanilang kwarto.

Napangiti ako dahil sa wakas nakabalik na ulit ako dito sa trabaho. Medyo matagal din kasi nuong nawala ako. At kung iisipin ang mga pinagdaanan ko mas pipiliin ko na wala ng maalala sa mga iyon dahil umuusbong lamang ang inis sa puso ko.

Mara didn't force me to come with her, but she stole something from me while I was sleeping.

My blood.

Hindi ko na din sya nakita pagkatapos nuon na ipinagpapasalamat ko namam dahil wala ng nang gugulo sa akin.

Yung mga sugat naman na marka ng kagat nya na nakita ni Paul sabi ko insects bite lamang iyon.

Mabilis din naman ang pag galing nya sa injury nya at nakabalik din sya agad agad sa trabaho.

I knocked on the door when I arrived. I opened it when I heard the voice.

"Doctor Corpuz!"- he said before standing up from his swivel chair to welcome me.

"Welcome back."- he said, offering his hand for a handshake.

"Thank you, Doctor Almojar."- I replied with a small smile before accepting his hand.

"Have a seat."

Tahimik na naupo ako sa upuan sa harap ng mahogany table nya at sya naman ay muling naupo sa swivel chair nya.

Pinagsiklop nya ang mga kamay at tinuon duon ang baba nya.

"Kamusta ka na? Salamat sa pagdating. Kailangan na kailangan namin ng doctor."

"Ayos lang po ako at oo nga po mukhang kailangan. Dahil nabalitaan ko na madami daw ang nadagdag na pasyente."

"Yes, there are many new patients. But are you sure you can handle them now? I mean, you have trauma, right?"

"I don't remember claiming that I have a trauma. They just forced me to have a vacation for the mean time."

He chuckled and leaned back on his chair.

"So you're not happy that you got the chance to rest for a while?"- he asked amusedly.

Baka nagtataka kayo? Hindi pa naman kasi sobrang tanda ni Doctor Almojar. May edad lang sya pero hindi naman sobra ang wrinkles nya.

"That's not what I mean, Doc."- I replied.

"I'm just kidding."- he said before grabbing the folder on the left side of his table.

Hinawakan muna nya iyon at tinignan ako.

"I'm really okay, Doc."- I said when I got to know what his stare was implying.

He is subconsciously asking if I am okay and ready for this job.

"Clever."- he muttered before handing the folder to me.
