Alycia and Reubert brought Stella far from them so they wouldn't be caught by Edmond and his friends. Stella couldn't keep up with how fast they ran and instantly stopped at a place she doesn't know. She won't get used to the feeling of it. She's just trying not to vomit all the time. They stood in the steep of the hill where they could see the whole-small town of Freymount from the position they were in. It's like a piece of lego houses in which the ants are the people living in a miniature town.
They were surrounded by prolific trees and sheltered themselves under the branches not to be exposed from the direct sunlight. They could burn under the direct sunlight but they possessed an enchanted material called a daylight ring that helped them to walk under the sun.
Reubert gripped Stella's arm so she won't be able to run from them. Wala rin namang kalaban-laban si Stella where these vampires possessed supernatural abilities.
"Anong gagawin niyo sa akin?" tanong ni Stella, binatuhan niya ng masamang tingin ang dalawa.
Umangat ang mukha ni Alycia at mariing tinitigan ang dalaga. Lumaban din naman ng tingin si Stella. She's trying to look tough kahit alam niyang buhay ang magiging kapalit nito.
"I can hear your heart beating so fast, Stella," ngisi pa ni Alycia. "Are you nervous?"
"No, I'm not!" she exclaimed. "Anong ginagawa natin dito? Ano na namang kailangan niyo sa akin?!"
"We have a deal, right?" Alycia taunted. Umiwas na naman ng tingin si Stella. Alam niya na kung saan hahantong ang usapang ito. Para lang sa big break nilang dalawa ni Ully, maging ang buhay ay itataya niya. No one may not understand how she took her actions, Stella knew what she has been doing all along. "Three blocks away from the motel, narinig namin 'yong pinag-uusapan ng apat. And here you are, exposing us then you have the audacity to look brave in front of us? How pathetic."
"Why would you do that, bitch?" Reubert grunted.
"It supposedly not to happen," she explained. "They're defying me. Hindi ko mapipigilan ang bibig ko kapag na-ta-trap ako sa isang sitwasyon, okay? Bakit hindi muna kayo magpakatao para maramdaman niyo ang nararamdaman ko? Siguro kahit maging tao kayo, wala pa rin kayong puso at malasakit."
Nagulat na lamang si Stella nang lumagapak sa kanyang pisngi ang kamay ni Alycia. Napasinghal na lamang ito. Nalamatan nito ang pisngi ng dalaga at bahagyang nagdugo ito.
Reubert eyes landed on the blood. He wanted to taste it pero iginiya ni Alycia ang paningin niya upang hindi ito matakam at bago pa mawalan ng kontrol. Napangisi na lamang si Reubert, pagkakataon na sana niya iyon para pagpiyestahan si Stella. Hindi naman ininda ng dalaga ang hapdi ng sugat sa kanyang pisngi. Gusto niyang umalis sa pagkakahawak ni bampira sa kanyang braso pero hindi sapat ang kanyang lakas.
"Hindi mo ba alam kung anong ginawa mong panlalaglag sa amin, Stella?" tukoy ni Alycia. "Ginawa mo lang komplikado ang lahat na gusto ko na lang kunin ang puso mo at pagpiyestahan ng mga hayop. At dahil sa ginawa mo, you won't be able to get that book. You've messed up so bad, Stella."
