Eye-dentity (completed)

Chapter XI

Pagbalik ni Dylan sa bahay nila...he's surprised to see Veronica sipping coffee in the kitchen habang nakatingin lang dito ang mga kasamahan nya. She sensed his presence kaya agad itong nagtaas ng tingin. She smiled sweetly at him at sinugod sya ng yakap. And like the old times..he felt nothing.

Veronica pouted, "You never came. Ano bang pinagkaabalahan mo??Buti na lang paglabas ko, nakita ko sa tapat ng kalye si Vlad."

"How did you live?" seryosong tanong nya dito.

She just laughed nervously, "Ano ka ba? Yan ba ang dapat na unang tanong sa girlfriend mo?"

"We both know wala na tayo even before you die."

"And since I'm back...we can continue-"

"No. I'm committed with someone else. Now, tell me, paano ka nabuhay ulit?"

"Kinalimutan mo na agad ako?"

"Damn it, Veronica!!! Sagutin mo ako!! Paano ka nabuhay ulit??!!"

"Calm down, Dylan. You're scaring her." Vlad reasoned.

Napaupo si Veronica at napaiyak na lang. Dylan inhaled to calm himself. She changed..she really changed...mas naging emosyonal na ito, hindi katulad ng dati na kontrolado ang bawat emosyon.

Si Nico na ang sumunod na nagsalita, "Veronica, we're also wondering kung paano ka nabuhay at naging isang bampira."

"I-I also don't know..ang alam ko lang nagising ako at nakita ko-"

Hindi na natapos ni Veronica ang sasabihin ng biglang pumasok si Jared. He's rushing at mukhang may importanteng sasabihin.

"The master hunter's out of the Main Laboratory. Pwede na nating pasukin yon.."

"Paanong pwede na nating pasukin yon?"

"Kasabay ng pag-alis nya ang pagsasara ng main lab at pagbubukas ng bago sa Cebu..pinalaki na ang isang branch ng lab natin doon."

"Bakit nya isasara ang main lab natin dito?"

"I tried to ask him pero wala syang sinasabi..all I know is that he looks like he's planning something na ayaw nyang ipaalam sa iba."

"Pupuntahan ko sya."

"We'll go with you."

"Paano na ako dito?" tanong ni Veronica.

"Stay here."

Nagmamadaling pumunta sina Dylan sa office nila at naabutan nya ang papa nya na busy sa...pag-inom ng kape.

"Sir."

"Son..long time no see. How's your mission?"

"I...I decided not to-"

"He decided to kill the elite as soon as possible, sir. And, sir, we're close on her..very close actually," salo ni Nico na tiningnan lang sya ng masama.

"Is this true, Dylan?"

Dylan gave Nico a death glare, "Yes, sir."

"Good. At alam kong mas mapapadali na din ang pagpatay nyo sa babaeng yon. Now, anything else you want to report?"

"Veronica's alive..and she's now a vampire."

Caleb's eyes widened then frowned, "Really? Paano nangyari yon? Where is she? You should have brought her here para ako na mismo ang papatay sa kanya."

"You'll kill her? She's also a hunter, sir."

"Not anymore. I want her killed, Dylan, ok?"

"Yes, sir."
