4 days before the 2nd full moon...
Lolo Isco's daughter texted Maica about his burial. Maaga na daw itong ililibing since wala na namang hinihintay na kapamilya. Agad na tinawagan ni Maica si Liza. Napag-usapan kasi nilang makikipaglibing sila kay Lolo Isco.
Liza: Let's just meet them at the church.
Maica: Sige. Magkita na lang tayo bukas.
It's still midnight and she was waken up by something, maybe the cold breeze of air. Na-realize nyang nasa kama nya sya at wala na si Dylan. She smiled, sila na nga pala. And she fell asleep thinking about Dylan.
Pinagmamasdan lang ni Jayden mula sa bintana nito si Maica. Nalulungkot sya sa mga nangyayari.
"You can't fall in love with him, Regina mea. He'll kill you. Sasaktan ka nya. Sasaktan ka nya ng sobra."
3 days before the 2nd full moon
Kinabukasan, maaga pa lang ay nakaayos na si Maica. She's wearing a black dress and black high heeled shoes. Humarap sya sa salamin. Napakunot ang noo nya ng mapansin lumabo ang repleksyon nya. Pinunasan nya ang salamin pero ganon pa din ang itsura nya. Nang tingnan naman ang sarili, mukha pa din naman sya tao??well, she's still visible. Doon nya naalala, she's a vampire. Hindi na sya normal na tao. May mga mangyayari sa kanya na dapat na nyang asahan. She better prepare for the worst, for lusting human blood and for drinking it. She takes a deep breath and turns away from the mirror.
She's about to leave the house ng biglang mapansin ang paparating na kotse. It stopped in front of her.
Kunot ang noong lumabas ng kotse si Dylan, "why are you dressed like that?"
"Makikipaglibing ako kay Lolo Isco. Nasa simbahan na si Liza."
"Can I come with you?"
"Ah..o, sige. Bakit ka pala nandito? Di ba may trabaho ka?"
"Nag-off ako. I want to ask you out," he said then smiled widely, "pero mukhang naunahan na ako ni Lolo Isco."
"Buti na nga lang, wala kaming klase ngayon."
Sumakay na sya sa kotse nito. At first, awkward ang pakiramdam nya. Hindi nya kasi alam kung paano maging girlfriend. Pasilip-silip lang sya dito while he's busy, driving.
"Uh...Dylan?"
"Yes?"
"Kumaen ka na?"
Dylan smiled devilishly at her..
"Pwede ba? Wag kang ngumiti ng ganyan? I'm just trying to act like a nice girlfriend," namula naman sya sa paraan ng pagkakangiti nito.
"I don't like nice girlfriend. I like you to be yourself. And to answer your question, yes, kumaen na ako."
