Bloody High

Chapter 12

Minah's POV

"Fei.." rinig kong tawag ni Rina saakin but I choose to ignore her at tinago ko ang mukha ko sa braso ko na nakayakap sa tuhod ko.

Nandito na ako sa kama kasama sila. Yep, as in sila Kuya Zyon. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nangyari. Basta natagpuan ko na lang na nasa kama na ako at nandito na silang lahat well except doon sa kapatid ni Rina.

"Mimi please talk to us." I looked at Kuya Zyon.

I don't know pero tumulo ulit ang mga luha ko. I wipe it out.

"Hear us out, Minah. Please?" ani Aron sa akin.

I just look at them.

"Galit ka ba sa amin? Are you scared at us?" umiling naman ako sa tanong ni Eron.

I still looking at them. Minutes later, I sigh. Humarap ako sa kanila.

"T-totoo ba?" I asked them with my husky voice. Halatang-halata na galing ako sa pag-iyak.

Natigilan naman sila sa tanong ko at natahimik. I looked down.

"You're a vampire.." I stated. "L-lahat kayo..." I added.

"Pero..." I said then looked at them. Nakatingin din sila at nag-aantay ng sasabihin ko.

I sigh.

"Bakit hindi ako nakakaramdam ng takot sa inyo?" I asked. Natigilan naman sila doon.

"Imbes na takot, I feel betrayed. Betrayed for not knowing about it. For not knowing na bampira kayo." I said.

"Tell me, bakit hindi niyo sinabi saakin 'toh?" I asked.

"I-is there anything wrong about me? Hindi ba ako mapagkakatiwalaan? Akala ko ba---" Rina reach my hand then hold it.

"No no no. Shh... Don't say it. Hindi ganoon. We have reason. I have reason. Please, just listen to us." I can sense sincerity in her voice.

She's pleading. Tumulo ulit ang luha ko.

"Bakit?" I asked her. Rina looked at Kuya Zyon.

"You already know Tito Khinton right?" I nod at Kuya Zyon.

"One time, he called us. Then he said that there is a human girl who will enroll here." he said.

"Which is you." Aron earned a glare from Kuya Zyon nang bigla siyang sumingit sa usapan.

I smiled.

"Tito Khinton said that we should watch over you. Protect you from other students." si Eron na ang nagpatuloy.

"Then we saw you. We meet you. I don't know how does it happened pero napalapit kaagad ang loob ko sayo." Rina said sincerely.

"Pati nadin ako." Kean interfered.

"And me also." sabat ni Kiel.

"Tsk." imik ni Nzikell at tumingin sa ibang direksyon.

"Lahat kami napalapit na ang loob sayo." saad ni Kuya Zyon nakangiti saakin.

"And that's not it. Hindi lang dahil sa utos ni Tito Khinton kung bakit hindi din namin masabi sayo. I'm afraid that if you know about this, you will leave us. You will leave me. I don't like that Fei. I hate losing a friend." namuo nanaman ulit ang luha nang makita ko na umiiyak na din si Rina.

I don't know how should I feel right now. I'm touched from their reason but at the same time, I felt guilt kasi napaiyak si Rina.

Hinigpitan ko ang hawak namin ni Rina sa isa't isa at unti-unti ko siya niyakap. Rinig ko na rin ang pag-hikbi niya.
