When I woke up in the morning, my body aches all over. Nothing happened but Anthonus never stopped. Kahit humakbang lang ay hindi ko magawa. I groaned as I tried to reach Hideo's food. I prepared boneless fish inside a vase. Napadaing ako habang pilit na inaabot kahit na wala pang metro ang layo nito sa akin.

"You looked sleepless." Zander reached for Hideo's food for me. I instantly looked away and fixed my posture. I bit my lip because I was sleepless.

Nang magising ako ay agad akong bumangon kahit na natutulog pa si Anthonus. I instantly took a bath and when I came back, someone is calling for him. It felt very awkward because Anthonus was still half asleep and hugging me like a baby.

"Where's Hideo? Hindi pa siya kumakain." I cleared my throat. Nag-unat ako sa kama't napadaing na lamang. I'm currently wearing a long grey dress with sleeves paired with a tight black corset. I have a new pair of boots from Anthonus.

"Hideo?" Zander paused. Kasalukuyan siyang abalang mag-ayos ng mga makakapal na aklat. "Which cat? The orange one?" He asked. Umiling ako at bumaba ng kama para naman suklayan ang buhok ko.

"The black cat. Hindi pa siya kumakain ng breakfast." Hinaplos ko ang batok ko dahil hanggang pagkagising ko ay masakit pa rin ito. Zander stares at me intently. Hindi ko tuloy maiwasang mag-isip.

"Anthonus had his mark too, right?" Zander's statement made my cheeks flustered. Obvious naman na makikita nila ang marka sa leeg ni Anthonus. Hindi ko ba alam kung ba't need i-mention.

"Yeah." I cleared my throat. Nagkunwari akong nag-aayos ng mga papeles sa loob. I woke up inside the town leader's tent and Zander probably fixed everything's mess from last night. I felt sorry.

"Pasensya nga pala If magulo 'tong tent kagabi ha." I approached him first. Nakarating na ako sa loob niya't abalang nililinisan ang mga natira pang petition. Until now, I didn't know If I should accept these or not.

"I don't mind." Zander stares at me. "Besides, It's given that you had a rough night."

"Rough night talaga?" Nawiwindang kong sabi. I heard Zander chuckles softly. Tinitigan ko na lang ang likod niya nang buhatin niya ang isang box na puno naman ng mga aklat.

Zander's biceps was prominent because he was wearing a tight faded blue tunic shirt. He chuckles once again because of my reaction. Lalo tuloy akong nahiya dahil alam kong siya rin ang nag-ayos lahat ng sinira na petition ni Anthonus kagabi.

Yet even though Zander is laughing, I can tell that he isn't really happy. I can see it in his eyes.

"Wanna grab breakfast together?" The words instantly rolled out from my mouth. Saglitan niya akong tinitigan at pinagpag ang mga aklat na pinatong niya sa mesa.

"Sure." Zander smiled. "Do you eat rabbit though?"

"Rabbit ang ipapakain mo sa akin?" Feel ko ay namutla ako sa tanong niya. Zander narrowed his eyes. Tumabi siya sa akin dahil may inabot siyang makapal na aklat sa gilid ng braso ko.

"Ano ba'ng gusto mong ipakain ko sa iyo?" He whispered. I gulped a big amount of air. I didn't know why Zander sounded different.
