BLOOD BOUND: THE HAWTHORNE'S FALL ( Book 1)

🗡XVII. Blood🗡

Third Person's POV

10 years later...........

Mabilis lumipas ang panahon. Everything is still the same. Ambrogio V didn't learn. Vesper is still jailed inside her room. The vampires are still hunting and killing strigose.(plural form of strigoi)

"Goodbye, honey", sabi ni Ambrogio V sa babaeng nakasiping niya ngayong gabi. The woman went out the room after being compelled.

Ambrogio V slept with many women in between those years. Kaya sa loob ng sampung taong ay nagkaroon din siya ng anim na panibagong mga anak. His sons and daugthers are from the elite women.

Niklaus is now teaching Cassius how to fight and hunt. Magkasama ang dalawa palagi. They are always out from the palace. Ambrogio V didn't care about what his sons' doing because he's too busy with his women and flesh desire.

Artemis Callahan-Balkan POV

Years have passed. Nakaharap ako sa salamin ngayon. Inaayos ang aking steampunk eye patch. Nakasuot ako ng simpleng tshirt at fitted jeans for our training. I'm still wearing a wig but with different styles now. It's longer than what I had when I was a kid.

"Art, let's go", sabi ni Ambrosia sa akin.

I smiled at her at tumango na. She grew up too. She's a very fine young woman. She's very pretty. Doon ko lang napagtanto na may magkapareho kami ng features. Only that her hair are naturally brown and her eyes are blue. Well, mine is blue too but the other one is red. Aphasia is much more prettier. It looks like she didn't even aged. Like the boys. Alaric and Amadeus stayed the same. Aeneas is now a bit older than before. But one thing is for sure, they didn't actually aged. Iyon ang ipinagtataka ko.

Ng makapasok na kami ni Ambrosia sa hall na kung saan kami nag t-training ay naroon na ang aming mga kapatid. Alaric and Amadeus is pair. Si Aphasia naman at si Aeneas.
Kami naman ni Ambrosia.

I'm still using estoc and rapier. I like this weapon. It's classy.

Habang nagsasangga kami ni Ambrosia ay may biglang pumasok sa hall. It was our Grandfather Philetus. Nakangiti ito sa amin.

"I found where your mama is buried. May nakausap akong isa sa mga alagad ng papa niyo noon", sabi ni lolo sa amin kaya kaagad kaming napalapit sa kanya.

May binigay siyang papel sa amin na kung saan ang address nito.

"Groove Prague?", tanong ni Alaric.

Tumango si Lolo sa amin. "That's where Vashti is buried", aniya. "Wanna come and visit her grave?".

"We'd like to but...", napatingin si Aphasia kay Alaric. ".....we can't go there with just us".

Tumango si Lolo. "I'll send someone with you. You can bring your bodyguards. I'm sorry, I can't go with you sons and daughters. I have something to do with the people in our village. They need my attention", kita ko ang lungkot sa mukha ni Lolo. Parang nangungulila din siya sa kanyang anak.

"We understand, Lolo. You're their leader. You should always be present when they need you. Pwede namang kami lang ang pupunta doon. We just need to bring weapons at kailangan ay umaga kami tutulak", sabi ni Alaric.

"That's good. I'll send some fighters with your journey. We don't know what's out there", sabi ni Lolo. "You can leave tomorrow morning".

After that talked ay parang gusto kong bumilis ang oras. I want to see the sun now.

Pareho kaming lahat na narito sa aming kwarto. We're reading books about the information we found in the book.

May kumatok sa aming pinto. Alaric went to open it.
