Chapter: Mate 05: Excited|CHAPTER 05| Zaitelle Axis It's already 6 in the evening and I'm already preparing for Kester's birthday. A smile creeps on my lips when I remember who I brought with me to join the celebration for my best friend's 20th birthday. ___ ~hours ago~ I faced Nana with an excited smile crept on my lips as I squealed. "Nana! I want you to meet my newly found friend," I informed her as soon as she opened the door for me. "Zai, you do know it's still 3 in the morning right?" She sleepily informed but that caused me to let out a chuckle. "Nana, sorry for waking you up this early but I just can't sleep! I'm so excited to bring her here! You know what, Nana. She's so beautiful. I bet she's even more pretty than me. She has a pair of red eyes that I loved to see once again. She

Chapter: Mate 04: Torn|Chapter 04| Zaitelle Axis A day before Kester's 20th birthday, his mom, Mrs. Aqua Quiner called me for a talk. I'm quite perplexed and a little bit nervous because of her sudden invitation even though we were doing it since my childhood days. I don't know why there are too many changes in terms of interacting with them when in fact, I shouldn't act like this. "Nana, is this okay?" I ask her while putting a dress in front of my body and watch how it looks in me. She's sitting on the side of my bed while watching me go nuts in looking for a better presentable outfit. She chuckles and I don't know why my cheeks heated. Blood rushes up to my face and I suddenly feel like the air surrounding us becomes hotter. I can feel my sweat dripping from my forehead and at the back of my head. "Nana, can you say something? Don't just laugh at me!" I snort but in a good way. She's still the one who has been wi

Chapter: Mate 03: Special|CHAPTER 03| Zaitelle Axis "Are you a half-blood?" I ask her instead. She has the eyes of a Vampire but I can sense her werewolf blood. That's why I'm confused. If she is, why can't I sense her Vampire blood? "No, I was born with these eyes," she shortly explains it to me and I understand why. Maybe because it's our first meeting and I'm still a stranger to her. And it's quite uncomfortable to share your life with a stranger, right? "Hmm, do you perhaps, want to learn how to control the ability of your eyes?" I ask her carefully to go over the line. It's still her privacy and it's not good to pry on it just because you're curious. Respect for one's privacy is all that you can do to help the person at ease with you. "No, I mean. I can't," I tilt my head in confusion. Why can't she learn? "Do you mind if I ask why?" I watch her unconsciously pulling up and down the merchandise that is i

Chapter: Mate 02: Jazeera|CHAPTER 02|Zaitelle Axis"Why don't we part ways?"I ask while I'm busy observing all the people who are busy buying things that they need and all vendors that are struggling to pay attention to other customers.I am standing beside him when I ask him that that's why I did not notice that he asks me."What?" I ask and look at him.Just like before, I take one step back because he's too tall for me. I am just maybe at the range on his shoulder."Why do you want us to part ways?" He asks while his thick eyebrows almost met due to confusion and I don't know what else he's thinking right now that he seems upset.I tilt my head sideways and recall what he asked.My mouth slowly opens big but I quickly close it because he suddenly looks at me. I blink twice an

Chapter: Mate 01: Trip|CHAPTER 01| Zaitelle Axis I excitedly make my way into my vanity table and take a seat to see my reflection in the mirror. I nonchalantly stroke my fingers on my midnight blue shoulder-length hair causes it to be messy which makes me look more presentable enough. A smile can't help but slip out on my lips as I think of why I am dressed up right now. Completely different from what I usually wear when I'm only at home. Kester and I will go to the Capital to stroll around. I ask him to go with me and he agreed. That's why I chose the most presentable outfit for today. The light blue sleeveless dress underneath a white shirt and with my white 2 inches wedge heels. I also wear pair of simple earrings that I usually wear when there is an important gathering within our family or business. I am thinking if I will put makeup on my face but on the second thought, I'll be overdoing it overall. We'll just st

Chapter: EPILOGUEChapter 18|The Epilogue~×~×~×~|TAYJA PRISH|"Hi!"Tumikhim ako at iniiwas ang tingin sa kaniya. Naupo ako sa gilid ng kama niya habang siya ay nakahiga at nakapikit. Natutulog. Kararating ko lang sa bahay nila at pinapasok sa kuwarto niya. I thought he was in his condo. Natulog pala siya sa kanila. Mahigpit akong kumapit sa kumot, naghahanap nang masusuportahan dahil pakiramdam ko, matutumba na lang ako sa sahig kahit nakaupo naman ako sa gilid ng kama. I feel like I would lose every strength that I have in my body at any moment now."Hindi na kita ginising at baka pagod ka talaga. You need to rest so, I'll just be here, waiting for you to wake up," I mumbled as I blankly stared at the transparent glass window in front of me. Nasa gitna ang kama ni Asver. Nasa isang gilid naman ang mini-sala niya bago ang bookshelf malapit sa may pintuan.Umayos ako nang upo at muling tiningnan ang nakatuping papel sa aking kamay. Tita Rash gave it to me when I arrived earlier. I think that was a

I wore my white eyepatch to match my outfit for today. Sunday ngayon at naisipan kong bisitahin ang puntod ni Mama. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero pakiramdam ko kailangan ko siyang bisitahin. And now looking at her grave, I was between feeling fine and nonchalant.Thinking back to the days I felt like life was pulling me down to the ground, I realized, I was just confused. I felt empty.It was because growing up, I didn't have a mother to guide me through everything and a father who will keep me safe from everyone. The feeling of having a family confused me. Hindi ko naman kasi iyon naranasan sa ampunan. The Sisters were good to me but they couldn't give me the right love of a family.They were only obligated to take care of us, abandoned kids, and nothing more. Kaya hindi ko malaman kung papaano ko

But when my vision got the familiar road that I saw in my dream got me terrified."Pull over, Asver!"I said in panic and all of a sudden that caused him to step on the break without a warning. Napahawak ako sa aking left shoulder kung saan doon lahat napunta ang force na gawa nang pag-break ni Asver. Hindi ko na iyon pinansin at dali-daling binuksan ang pintuan ng kotse kahit hindi pa ito na-i-park sa gilid ng kalsada."What are you doing?" I momentarily shook my head and cover my mouth as I ran towards the side of the road and vomited as if my life was already in the line.Shivers ran down my veins as chills travels on my arms 'till my nape. "Hey," naramdaman ko ang magaang paghagod nito sa aking likod habang patuloy akong sumuka dahil sa hindi ko malamang dahilan. What I saw kept on replaying in the back of my head and it triggered my body to vomit again. Damn, it was so disgusting!"Masama n

Chapter: TGWAE 15Chapter 15|The Glimpse~×~×~×~|TAYJA PRISH|I woke up from a loud ringing coming from my phone that I left in my bed yesterday. I weakly opened my eye as my lips twitched in pain. Hindi ko na pala nagamot ang sugat sa mata ko dahil nawalan na ako nang malay. Kaya ngayon ramdam ko na ang matinding hapdi. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit naghahanap pa ako nang sakit sa katawan kung ganito lang din naman pagkatapos.I'd just suffer from it afterward.Baliw na nga talaga ako. Huminga ako nang malalim at bumangon kahit parang mahuhulog na lang ang ulo ko sa sahig dahil sa sakit at bigat. I gently wash my face, avoiding getting my left eye further damaged. Baka mamaya nito nakahandusay na pala ako sa sahig dahil may naapektuhang ugat na konektado sa utak ko. Hindi ko na talaga maintindihan ang sarili ko. I wanted pain but I don't want to suffer from it. I sighed and walked inside my room and fixed myself.Katatapos ko lang isuot ang dark gray kong eyepatch nang marinig ang sunod-sunod na ka

Chapter: TGWAE 14Chapter 14|The Paper~×~×~×~|TAYJA PRISH|"Are you sure you're okay?"Asver's voice halted my thoughts for a moment. Inisip ko pa 'yong tanong niya dahil parang hindi sumasakto sa pakiramdam ko.'Am I okay?'Tanong ko rin iyan sa aking sarili. Ayos pa ba ako? Since when? Inalis ko ang tingin sa labas ng bintana sa aking gilid bago ko nilingon si Asver na kasalukuyang nagmamaneho. We're heading home after I was discharged from the hospital. "Yes, I'm sure. Narinig mo naman ang sinabi nang Doktor kanina. Naghalo lang ang lamig at init sa katawan ko. I feel okay," sabi ko sa kaniya at tumingin na sa harapan.Huminga siya nang malalim pero hindi na nagsalita pa. Which, I was thankful for because my mind was still in chaos. It wasn't just because of what happened earlier. I think Taira has been affecting me for real. Hindi naman sana talaga dapat na maapektuhan ako pero pakiramdam ko, parte na siya ng buo kong pagkatao. Ang tanga ko naman para tanungin pa kung bakit naaapektuhan ako ni

She sighed as if she has been already burned out even if she just slept the whole week. No more killings, no more fires. She doesn't know what happened. She just woke up, feeling like even having to breathe for the day felt like she was slowly losing the life inside her. Or that, she already lost it. "Kumain ka na," ni hindi niya nilingon si Lash na pumasok sa kaniyang kuwarto bitbit ang isang lagayan kung saan naroon ang mg pagkain para sa kaniya. Hindi siya gumalaw man lang. Nanatili siyang nakatitig sa ceiling na parang may nakikita na hindi nakikita ni Lash. He sighed and stared at the black carpet that he was stepping on while carrying the tray. "Ganito na lang ba, Taira?" bulong niya na narinig naman ni Taira ngunit wala siyang sinabi. Katahimikan ang namayani sa pagitan nilang dalawa. Kahit nga yata paglipad ng lamok ay m

I know that they're here because there's something that they left behind."Red," D's voice pulls me out in my reverie. I felt him move and stand beside me."What is it?" I ask without looking at him.My mind is still messy. I couldn't just talk to him without my senses in the right place. There's a lot to think about right now.I don't even know where to start again. It seems like I forgot all the plans that I planned before meeting my father after long years of being apart from each other.I just want to feel that I'm still not alone in this lonely world. I wish my twin is with me and my mother is still alive watching me get all my achievements.But it's all about my empty wishes that could never happen because they are already in the other world.

Go home with me" she said, pleading rather. But her dad just looked at her, apologetically."You don't understand, go home" he coldly said and took a step forward but a gunshot startled them, not to mention, Red was only a child. It was her first time to encounter such a situation."Damn!" Her dad cursed. He unconsciously gets his pocket knife in his pocket. As he turned around, he accidentally pointed his knife at her daughter's eyebrow causing it to bleed."Stay here, no, go back and leave this place, hurry!" Her dad shouted. He was to focus on the culprit who fired the gun he didn't notice that he hurt her daughter.I open and close my eyes as I rose from my bed. I winced in pain when I tried to move my

Chapter: 58: He Knew!Red's POVDo you know the feeling when a certain person loved you so dearly but takes it away from you for no reason at all? The feeling when your day is filled with happiness and contentment only to be kept away from your hands? The feeling when you're so invested to the point you no longer have something to invest? Do you know that?I can only imagine myself, throwing him words afterwords. Giving him questions after questions. Why after what. What after how. Fuming with anger, I slash my dagger deep in his neck while my other hand loosens my grip causes him to fall, not breathing anymore, he's dead. I tightly grip the handle of my blade as I glare at the men in black scattered all around the place.I grab the collar of the man who's about to pull the trigger as he pointed it to Z. She's busy punching and kicking men in black in front of her. Wonder where her gun is right now. I shrugged and as I

Chapter: 57: VoiceRed's POVThe emotions of being alone pierced my little heart, screaming unheard voices that were kept throughout the years of being hidden.Like an abandoned place, no one seems to want to wander around the thought, what had happened before it was left without a word? What had happened to make such unreasonable reason for it to be left alone in the dark, away from the light? What had happened?Maybe that was why darkness ruled over me, it never left as they did. It was with me through thick and thin that they never even bothered to do. It was within that caused it to bloom inside me that I can never tell if I can ever lift myself from drowning in it. I can never tell.Staring at myself in front of my whole-body mirror, I can't help but be astonished as I look fine than usual. From my red hairband down to my red crop top and black tattered shorts.

Chapter: 56: That was CloseRed's POV"She left already?" Z asks while walking down the stairs. I nod my head and lay down on the couch and close my eyes. "And you told her the truth?" she added. I sigh and open my eyes and stared at the ceiling. "Just told her about Quenda," I said, I heard her sneered. I rolled my eyes and get up from lying on the couch. I look at Z and we both nod our heads. We went inside the kitchen. I sat at one of the chairs and watch Z go to the sink as she washed her hands. I glance at my left where the fridge is. I stood up and open it. "Where's my choco drink?" I ask Z who's busy chopping the apple fruit. She lifts her head and looks at me and shrugged. "I don't drink choco so, it's not me. Ask my brother" I close my eyes and tried not to burst out. He really is trying to piss me off. I heave a deep breath and went back to my seat.
