Chapter 19
Dumaan ako sa kalye kung saan ko naligtas si Suzy. And that cat, too. Nasa'n na kaya yung pusang 'yon? I hope he's fine.
Sa apartment ko pa rin ako umuuwi even after the incident at the party. Ang debutante is a fake debutante. Nakwento sa 'kin ni Reign nung isang araw ang tungkol dito. They did it purposely—para i-bait ang Locious.
The president and the alpha of Locious became enemies since then. Actually, marami ang kalaban ng Locious. I couldn't even count it with my fingers. Naging magkalaban sila simula nang mapabagsak ng Adara ang kumpanyang nagbibigay buhay ng Locious. Now they're starting over again to provide their needs—money, food, for their maintenance, and blood.
Habang papalapit na ako sa dulo ng kalye, may narinig akong malakas na tili at yabag ng mga paa na parang tumatakbo.
"Tulong!"
I came to a halt. Napahigpit ang hawak ko sa strap ng bag ko at nang may makita akong pigura ng babaeng tumatakbo at sa likod naman niya ay tatlong kalalakihang humahabol sa kaniya, nagisip na agad ako ng paraan.
Not again?
Nakalapit sa 'kin ang pamilyar na babae. She didn't look at me and instead, niyugyog niya ang balikat ko habang hinihingal at nilingon sa likod ang papalapit na mga lalaki.
"Those bastards... trying... to touch... me! I was just passing by the store and saw a group of men... drinking alcohols and said they're going to taste me... and I ran and left my phone somewhere... may phone ka ba—Lucy?"
"Angelique, bakit ka nandito?"
"Bakit ka rin nan—oh, nevermind! Kung gusto mo pang manatiling virgin o mabuhay, let's run and save ourselves!"
Hinila niya ang braso ko at sinimulan akong kaladkarin pero hindi ako gumagalaw. Nanatili ang titig ko sa tatlong lalaki na isang bahay nalang ang agwat mula sa 'min.
"What are you waiting for? Tara na!"
I put the sleeves of my blouse up to the top of my shoulder and shove Angelique's hands away.
"Hoy, anong ginagawa mo?"
Hindi ko siya sinagot.
I clenched my fist, heaved a sigh and waited for the three drunk men.
Nang tatlong hakbang nalang ang layo nila mula sa 'kin, tumakbo ako palapit sa kanila. I punched the man on the center on the face, punched the other man on his stomach from my right and kicked the last man on his private part.
They all growled from pain. I saw the man on the center vomited; his teeth came out from his mouth and blood splattered on the ground.
Nanginig ako sa kinatatayuan ko. Hindi ko napansin na nagtatakbo na pala sila paalis habang nagsisigaw at iika-ikang tumakbo palayo.
"Oh my God, that was an awesome moves!" narinig kong sinabi ni Angelique mula sa likod ko pero nanatili ang mga mata ko sa dugong nagkalat sa sahig.
I felt numb, my throat dried and my heart's racing. The smell of the blood entered through my nose. My veins started to turn black and my teeth grew its fangs, my eyes burning with familiar sensation.
"Lucy? Ayos ka lang?"
Gusto kong sabihan si Angelique na huwag siyang lalapit sa 'kin at huwag akong hawakan. But my attention's only at the blood that splattered, the smell of it echoed inside my nose. Hinawakan ni Angelique ang ko balikat at inikot niya ako para magkaharap kami, napatili si Angelique nang makita ang itsura ko.
Next thing I knew, tinulak ko siya at kapwa kami nahiga sa sahig—I'm top of her—and she's straggling from death while I'm trying to sniff her neck and wanting to bite her with my sharp teeth that grew even more.
