Chapter 30

Plan

Hindi ko man gustuhin na iwan agad si Drake na mag-isa sa loob ay kinakailangan ko itong gawin. Naninikip ang aking dibdib habang patuloy na tumutulo ang mga luha mula sa aking mga mata habang palayo nang palayo mula sa kaniyang kulungan. Bawat tapak na aking ginagawa ay katumbas ng isang hiwa sa aking puso.

Nang makalagpas sa pintuan kung saan ako ay nanggaling ay agad 'kong pinawi ang mga luha sa aking basang-basang mukha. I sniffled as I dried my eyes up, trying my best to move forward. I need to do this. I need to be strong for my plan to be successful. Kailangan ko 'tong gawin para maligtas na nang tuluyan si Drake.

Nang makalabas mula sa kuweba ay isa-isa 'kong nilagpasan ang mga bantay na ang kanilang malalamig at patay na mga katawan ay nakakalat sa buong paligid. Dumiretso ako sa bahay kung saan ako'y nananatili sa ngayon upang planuhin nang mas maayos ang lahat.

Alessia was kind enough to let me stay in her house. Kasama si Kuya Nick ay tatlo kaming nakatira maliit na bahay ni Alessia. Kuya Nick didn't leave Alessia's side the whole time that she was recovering. Her body is a bit better now. She's definitely better compared to her situation last time. According to her too, she's already fine and that she can take care of herself.

"What do you need?" bungad na tanong sa aking ni Kuya nang makauwi ako sa bahay ni Alessia. I was asking for their help on collecting the things that I need to bring to get Drake out of the cell. Sabi rin kasi ni Kuya ay tutulungan pa rin niya ako hanggang huli.

"I need blood bags. Drake was drained out of blood. He's been deprived of blood for two weeks now," sagot ko.

"We already have that," Alessia answered and lifted a black bag full of blood bags. "So, anong plano?" sunod na tanong ni Alessia at pinagtaasan ako ng kilay.

"My plan for this time is for the two of you to distract the guards that will be waiting just by the entrance. Sigurado akong kung malalaman nila ang tungkol sa pagpatay ko sa kanilang mga bantay ay dodoblehin pa nila ang kanilang mga tao." 

Tumango silang parehas bilang sagot. "Once they're distracted, I'll go in and try to break Drake out, okay?" paglilinaw ko sa kanila.

It should be easy. Kung gaano kadali akong nakapasok kanina ay ganoon din dapat kadali akong makakapasok lalo na't may tulong ako mula sa dalawang ito.

"How are we going to distract them?" tanong ni Alessia.

I was about to speak when I was suddenly cut off by Kuya Nick.

"What do you mean 'us'? I'm the only one distracting them," naguguluhang tanong ni Kuya Nick sabay tingin sa gawi ni Alessia.

Alessia's jaw dropped open as she properly faced Kuya Nick. She placed her hand on the table as she leaned his whole body on it. Ang kaniyang kabilang kamay ay tumaas at iniligay sa kaniyang baywang. "What do you mean 'you'? I'll be helping Criselda too," matigas na sagot pabalik ni Alessia.

"No. Do you even know how vulnerable you are, especially with your current situation?" iritadong tanong ni Kuya Nick at itinuro ang katawan ni Alessia mula ulo hanggang paa.

Alessia scoffed as she rolled her eyes at Kuya Nick. "Vulnerable? I have literal powers, Nick. I don't need your 'immortality' just to be proved that I'm strong. I can protect myself just fine. And, if you're still doubting my skills, well, bad news, Nick. I was the one who destroyed the chains of your sister. Yes, the chains that you can't break with your 'vampire strength'," sarkastikong tugon ni Alessia.

"But, Alessia. I'm not doubting your skills, it's just that, the guards that are waiting their are probably mostly vampires. I can sneak up on you so easily without you knowing," sagot pa ni Kuya Nick.
