Kinabukasan dumating ng maaga si Quinn at may kasama siya ilang body guards. Alam ko, just like Matthias, Quinn is also rich.
"Hi, Reichel Amber," yakap sa akin ni Quinn pagpasok ng bahay namin.
"Paano yan, di ka na handsome vampire?"
"Mr. Handsome will do. So, eto pala ang bahay ni Silawin. Nice, very comfy. All white in colour. Are you both sleeping together here?" casual na tanong sa akin ni Quinn sabay upo sa malaking white sofa namin sa living room.
"Ha?"
"I mean literally and figuratively. Come on, you're both adults."
"Quinn, I don't think Rei wants to discuss that. Let us proceed to our real problem," seryosong sabi ni Sage.
"Real problem? May problema ba Quinn? Sage, bakit wala ka sinasabi about this?"
"Reichel Amber, it is not really a problem, but an enigma."
"Tungkol ba ito kay Mr. CEO? Nasabi na nga ni Sage sa akin na may visions kayo pareho sa kanya."
"That's right. I left the Yellow Sapphire medallion in the headquarters. The remaining royal vampires or should I say royal humans are still taking care of the Crypto Vault. After the Curse of Darkness was lifted, The Medium is still operating under the care of our circle. It is as if our compulsion to the Medium was not lifted."
"So, you are trying to say that the Yellow Sapphire necklace is still safe. Why are you here then?" tanong ni Sage kay Quinn. I just listened to them as they are both uneasy with the situation.
"That fucking rich guy keeps appearing in my visions almost every night. How many times did you see him in your vision?"
"Rave Clifford? Just twice," sagot ni Sage.
"Fuck! I am dreaming about him almost every night and it is killing me. Kailangan ko pa mag sleeping pills para makatulog ng maayos. Fuck, I hate it when I dream of him instead of gorgeous women."
"Do you think he was a vampire or warlock or probably a demon?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Sage.
"He is not a vampire but I think he is a supernatural being. His existence suddenly emerged out of nowhere. He quickly climb to the top as one of the richest men in logistics division. Matthias found something fishy about him."
Quinn gave us several folders na naglalaman ng photos at background ni Rave. His schools, projects and even detailed information about his company.
"His primary and secondary schools have his records pero wala siya sa class picture. My men tried to contact one of his classmates discreetly. The weird thing is, they do not know who Rave Clifford is."
"Well that's weird. Parang falsified lahat ng records."
"Matthias team tried a high tech facial recognition software. They also can't locate Rave five years ago. As in parang lumitaw na lang siya na parang bula. From that year, he established his company and all over the world. Para siyang super celebrity in the business world overnight. One thing for sure, he has tremendous amount of money."
"You're a royal vampire. Hindi ka ba nagtataka sa kanya noong una pa lang?" taas kilay na tanong ni Sage kay Quinn.
"Actually no. He prefers to hide from spotlight. Akala lang namin, he is just a plain and shrewd business at very young age."
"Do you think he's a demon?"
"Honestly, hindi ko alam but you must be careful in dealing with this person or whatever he is. We don't know much about demons. If he's one, we have no match."
"Quinn, Sage, wait lang. Kailan kayo nag start magkaroon ng visions about Rave Clifford?"
"When I found the yellow medallion, I have been dreaming about demons. Well, nightmares considering the fact that they look gruesome. I saw a vision about Rave Clifford few days after the Curse of Darkness was lifted," sabi ni Quinn.
"Ikaw naman Sage, kailan mo nakita si Rave sa visions mo?"
"After ko nagising, I saw him once. Then, I saw him again the next day. What are you thinking?"
"Quinn owned the yellow medallion. Si Sage naman, ay may connection sa red medallion. What if the medallions are showing both of you a warning? What if Rave wants to obtain all of the medallions to open this so called secret prison? But the thing is, I have both the white and blue ones pero wala ako visions about kay Rave Clifford, kayo lang."
"Sage, tama si Reichel. Bakit tayo lang ang nakakakita ng visions? What is the connection between the two of us aside from the medallions?"
"You are both blood related. Mag pinsan kayong dalawa at apo kayo pareho ng Lakan before Prinsipe Isagani. I don't know kung anong koneksyon niyo kay Rave, but he is dangerous," sabi ko sa kanila.
Aside from Uncle Syl, si Quinn at Sage ang kilala ko na mga super confident na tao pero ngayon, I can sense their worry.
"Ang tanong na bumabagabag sa akin, ano ba talaga ang tinatago ng medallions? What are they trying to lock forever?" mahinang tanong ni Quinn.
"I think Rave Clifford knows that. Quinn, dito ka na mag lunch. I will try some spells para mastop ang nightmares mo kay Rave. Nabawasan ng very slight ang pagka handsome mo dahil sa visions na bumabagabag sayo."
"That would be awesome, Reichel. Ayoko matarnish ang reputation ko bilang isang super handsome na creature." natatawa niyang sagot.
