MATAMLAY na lumabas ng lecture hall si Celeste. Tinignan niya ang malaking orasan sa tuktok ng Elphinestone.
5 pm.
Napabuntong hininga siya habang hawak hawak ang mga gamit niya. Umupo siya sa bench kung saan malapit sa malaking fountain ng Elphinestone. Ngayon lang siya nakatambay sa labas ng Elphinestone kaya hindi niya maiwasang hindi mamangha sa sobrang ganda ng mga tanawin.
Kung tutuusin ay gusto niyang libutin ang campus ng Elphinestone dahil alam niyang magaganda ang tanawin dito at kakaonti lang ang mga taong nasa labas pag sapit ng hapon.
Dahil sa kadalasan ay mga bampira na ang mga nag lalabasan...
Noong mga nakaraang araw ay hindi siya makalabas masyado ng dorm niya dahil masyado siyang naduduwag pero dahil sa kasunduan nila ni Luther ay magtitiwala siya rito.
Panghahawakan niya ang pangakong binitawan sakanya ni Luther at ibibigay naman nito kung ano ang gusto ng binata sakanya.
If he wants blood then she'll give him her blood.
"Nag dedeliberate reflection ka ba?"
Napalingon siya sa boses ng nasa likuran niya kaya nilingon niya 'yon ay nakita niya si Marcus.
"I thought you were busy?" Tanong ni Celeste.
"Yah, I am. Luther told me to check up on you." Ani ni Marcus. "He's really worried about you, aren't he?" Ani ni Marcus.
"Nah, Ginagawa niya lang yon dahil may rason." Ani ni Celeste.
"For what reason?" Tanong ni Marcus.
"Kasi ayaw niyang mabugbog kaya kailangan niyaglng mapanatiling ligtas ako." Ani ni Celeste.
Marcus chuckled. "Are you insane? Aware ka ba na we don't die?" Ani ni Marcus.
"Yes... I'm aware of that." Ani ni Celeste.
"But there's a way for us to become a mortal." Ani ni Marcus. Biglang napalingon si Celeste kay Marcus. "There is?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Celeste.
"A lot of vampires desires for a mortal life, But its more dangerous than you thought." Ani ni Marcus.
"H-how?" Tanong ni Celeste.
"Its for you to figure it out." Ani ni Marcus at nginitian siya tsaka mabilis na umalis sa tabi niya.
Napailing iling si Celeste at itinuon ang atensyon sa ibang bagay.
Focus on your goal Celeste, The main reason why you leave your house is to find Ivy.
But the crest its in Luther's hands.
She felt like giving up because its hard for her to fight Luther. Alam na niyang talo na siya dahil tanggap niyang wala siyang kalaban laban sa lalaking iyon at isa pa isa lamang siyang hamak na tao at siya ay bampira.
Tao laban sa bampira? Pambihira!
"Aish!" Napasabunot siya sa sarili niyang buhok habang iniisip ang mga nangyari sakanya.
Simula ng pumunta siya sa lugar na 'to ay mas lalong nagulo ang buhay niya at mas lalong naging mas delikado ang panganib na binabanta sakanya ng paligid niya.
Napabuntong hininga si Celeste at sinipat ang wrist watch niya. She's thankful na walang masamang nangyari sakanya ngayong araw. It was hard for her to endure a deep painful past and hurtful words coming from her so called parent.
Tanggap na niyang siya na ang pinaka malas na tao sa buong mundo. How can she lived like this, survive like this with a prosopagnosia.
Aaminin niya na minuminuto siyang kinakabahan dahil hindi niya namumukhaan ang mga taong nasa paligid niya, mas doble ang hirap ng pagkilala sa mga taong nasa paligid niya and that's why she doesn't have a lot of friends since the beginning.
But there's this one person from her childhood whom she was bethroted, she can't really recognize all the events since years already passed. But she wonders where he is and what he's doing now.
Did he tried to find me before?
Of course not, Bata pa lang sila noong time na yon kaya impossibleng hanapin siya nito.
Napansin niyang unti onti ng dumidilim ang kalangitan kaya naman naglakad na siya patungo sa dorm room niya. Napapansin niya rin na masyadong active ngayon ang mga vampires kaya mas mabuting tumungo na siya sa dorm niya.
NANG makapasok siya sa loob ng dorm room niya nakita niyang nakahiga roon si Paris.
"Paris? What are you doing here?" Takang tanong ni Celeste.
"Celeste, I'm really sorry. I'm here to apologize." Ani ni Paris.
"No you don't have to say sorry to me. I'm fine and I'm not angry, I-I just want distance." Ani ni Celeste.
"Distance? Why are you so afraid on us? I've been proving myself to you Celeste." Ani ni Paris.
"How many do I have to say that we're not like anybody?" Iritableng sabi ni Paris.
"How can I believe you? Do you think its easy for me to trust someone like you? Vampires, I've been tortured by my parents and I'm so sick of being their puppet! I'm emotionally tired Paris! I'm guarding my self from someone like you! I'm guarding my self for my own sake! So do not expect me to trust someone like you, when you knew in the first place that I was hurt, Emotionally and Physically hurt by one of your kind!" Galit na sabi ni Celeste.
She knew that she hurt Paris feelings but she was blinded by her own rage.
"I'm saying this for the last time Celeste. Me and my friends are not going to hurt you-"
"But your friend did!" Hindi napigilan ni Celeste na sigawan si Paris.
"W-what did you just say...?" Gulat at mahinang sambit ni Paris.
"It's none of you business Paris, so please I want you out of my sight." Ani ni Celeste.
She turned her back at Paris. Paris didn't do anything but to leave. They both need to relax their mind so for the sake of their friendship she left Celeste's dorm and went to hers.
NAKAHINGA ng maluwag si Celeste ng makahiga siya sa higaan niya. She felt a little bit of guilt but relieved at the same time.
Its for the better... I have to continue searching for my friend, and after that I have to leave and vanish from this vampire school thing...
Bigla siyang napaisip kung ano nga ba amg pakay niya sa kaibigancniyabat gustong gusto ng sarili niya na hanapin ito.
"What is wrong with me?" Napahilamos siya sa sariling mukha dahil sa frustration na nararamdaman niya.
I don't even know where to begin...
I'm so lost...
How hard is it for someone to feel lost and hopeless? That's what Celeste felt right now, she was hopeless, she was stuck in the middle of nowhere. A lot had happened to her this past few days and she's trying to look unbothered but its hard for her. She can't recognize people's faces and even hers. How can she deal with her own problems? If she can't recognize her own self...
All these times, it was hard to endure the pain... keeping yourself comfortable to darkness because I'm used to it, but its sad. Knowing the darkness embraces you, blocking the light of hope.
To be comtinued.
