Prologue

My existence. Living normally is one of the things I can’t do as an immortal. Every day, I try not to mix with the chaos of the people. Trying to live alone in different parts of the world, for time passes so fast. These people are way too weak to have short life, how poor they are. Imagine all the achievements I had over 900 years ... You would think that a girl like me, graduated in different fancy universities all over the entire world? I memorized all languages ​​in this planet including dead and extinct languages. I lived in different countries, France, US, Spain, Singapore, Korea, Japan, Thailand, China and so on ... Imagine how many people I met before ... Thousands! And I witnessed how they died. It's hurt to lose each of them while I keep on living in this world. Well I never get old. You wanna know my secret? I'm a vampire. Now I'm restarting my life as a writer, with all the things I've done in the past, why don't I make that inspiration to become a writer right? I hope that all of my fancy university's education will lead me directly into wealth and fame, right? Though I have a lot of money to make my own living but I want to live normally just like normal people do. I do fake my birth and death, anyways. All of my attempts to become a worthwhile cog here in the Philippines were met with rejection. I don't understand why! Why these people acts that they are way more brilliant than me? Well I have more than 900 years experience, you know? Do they know I am the source of creative souls to despair and great art?

I want to let you know that this is the result of every test I do. There is no response at all the many newspapers that should have been interested in my blog! There is no publisher who wants to publish my pieces, that is why I hated my boss. He keeps on rejecting my works! Do I have to be a sucker for you to give a change to my work or should I just suck your blood, I totally miss the taste of human blood ... It's bad for him to criticize my letters. Is it my fault that clients' products aren't good for blogging? They needed a nutritional blog but instead of giving it, I stated the facts that their product is worst than a rotten egg! That's the truth. Readers should be glad to be warned by me, right? If only they had released that. Anyone doesn't like fake news, right? My mom said it was all my fault. Hulaan Mo? I don't have a mom. It's not my fault, you get it? "Tangerine! Why do you always keep on doing the same mistakes?" My boss shouted at the top of his lungs.

Oh no, here we go again. Please have some peace self. You don't need to start a tro, do you? My boss throws a pile of books at me but my senses are sharp as lightning. Each sounds echoed in my ear, that makes the agility and flexibility of mine did its thing. I catched smoothly all the five books he threw. I saw how shocked my boss are, and some of my co-writers. Did I use my vampire ability again? Oh no. I smiled awkwardly, "Nice catched? He he .." I mentioned them. The shock on their faces can't be removed, my boss's open mouth makes me laugh so much inside me, aren't you shocked ?. Okay, it looks like I'm going to find a new job for it. In the next 300 years, I will try to be a writer again. "Ehem! I think it's time to say that I'm fired, right boss?" I said as I put away my belongings. "No! You should stay here." I was surprisely shocked for what I have heard. He is not foing to fire me? B-but why? He said that I keep on making the same mistake, and it was pretty clear that I had no contribution to the company. Diba? Diba? "Why boss? I know you are mad because the clients dislike the blog about their products, B-but why? Please enlighten me." I stammered as I bit my lip with nervousness. "I like you" It said suddenly. No! No! No! No way boss. I don't beat up someone who is already married and has three children. In more than 900 years of my life, I never dreamed of becoming a kabet. Oh Rudolfo, stop, stop me, I might cut off your big belly.

Not boss, I just quit, yes, just quit, right? "Shemay that among the thousands of people I already know do you think I'm going to fall for you? No way. Over my pale sexy body. You're even scarier boss than silver. I immediately took my bag and ran out of the building, it's shameless, to turn on when I grab a book? Were you addicted before? When I ran, I stepped on something that caused me to break. "Too clumsy for a vampire." A strong man offered his hand to lift me up. Moreno and sharp, by the way ... How did he know that I'm a vampire? He is not like one of us ... Is he a vampire hunter? Oh no! He's going to kill me? I didn't accept his hand but I moved backwards. Why do my gut get scared? I can move fast as wind though. "Who are you?" I asked. He fix his hair and forcefully held me high. He smirk like he is not a normal person. "Ca lm down we are the same creature. "He proudly state. Huh? Are you a vampire too? It's not obvious ... I haven't seen a dark -skinned vampire in my life. He is getting more suspicious. Is this a trap? Isn't it?

Come on, this is just a make up. "He gently laughed." A makeup? Why would a vampire need to put some makeup to make him looks like a ... Moreno? "I awkwardly ask. Oh maybe he is doing a man in disguise. Is this because there are still a vampire hunter? Right! Having pale skin makes the vampire hunter to find us so easily, I haven't thought about that before. But hey, he is wearing a silver necklace ... He's an impostor. "I know what you're thinking ..." He said immediately. "This necklace is not made out of silver .. This is fake. "Mahinang sabi nito. I see, okay I am finally convinced! You are a vampire too." How did you get here? "I asked her as he looks at different side of mine. "I was chased by a vampire hunter." Muling bulong nito. Ha? Seriously? We can run faster than a human blink, why are you scared? "You can go way more far right? Besides the speed of the flash. "I said as I flipped my hair up." Last time I did that, more and more people were looking for me, I don't even trust everyone without that vamp smell. "He explained. Vamp smell? I heard that to my grandpa before he got caught. He said only few vampire can activate this kind of sense. Every vampire has this vamp smell but not everyone has the ability to sense it. How cool!

May I know how that thing works? "I asked. For over 900 years I still don't have a lot of information about being a vampire, because of extinction. I haven't reached our ancestors. Compared to a vampire .. "I'm just a mean child. Nine hundred years of my existence is equivalent to twenty years of a normal person's life. I haven't seen any ritual or any traditional things that a vampire might do." Not now the duo is already here , That twin always new where I was hiding. "Saad nito at tuluyang umalis. The duo? Sounds like too professional to escape. But I hope they didn't know who I am, besides I live like normal people. Naglalakad na ko nang pumasok. I think of the vamp smell that it says I've been talking to lately. Where can I find information about it? It's 2022 and probably almost everyone on the Internet is getting answers to their questions. But the Internet is just a figment of my imagination. also people, you can't say the facts are here think ... I need to go to the oldest library in this world. The library that is known by few people. The library of swixx. But I don't know where it was, for it is a legendary place being told to children. A urban legend, a mythology, an imaginary myth. I believe it was true and existing, 'cause vampires do exist just like wolves, mermaidAnd fairies ... So that library must exist too.

I have no clue, and I don't know where to start. When I walked, I collided again. "In the depths of your thinking, I might fall for you." Flattery of the one I collided with. A strong man in a cowboy hat, with long hair and a necklace written "dos", such a weird pendant, right? The man with her immediately kicked her. Taller, and more humble handsome than before. "I'm sorry my sister, because she wasn't taught how to talk properly with a woman." Slightly smiling it says. When I look at the necklace it also has a weird pendant, "Uno". Maybe it represents their status, “One” for the eldest and “dos” for the second. It makes sense right? "I'm sorry, I quit my job so I'm kind of thinking about what I'm going to do with my life." When I said that, I continued to walk. Three more steps someone held my hand which caused me to stop. If I think the man with the necklace is the one written, why is that?

Did you just stop me? "I asked calmly." Are a ... Amm a vam .. Ugh nothing you can go, sorry. "He said. Seriously people? What's your problem? I'm way too busy to think how Can I find that place and then you'll mess up my brain? But it seems that he's going to ask me if I'm a vampire ... Are the two of them hunters? Are they the duo that the man was running into before ? I raised my feathers but I kept walking, just slowly Because maybe they are important, I can sense that they are staring at me. "When that is thrown, it means he is a vampire." I heard that word from one of the two of them. Don't make the mistake of breaking Feove Corpynsilve ... I forgot, Tangerine Lacoste is my registered name here in the Philippines. Just walk straight until you can no longer hear their breath. .Shet for the first time in 900 years, I encountered a hunter! Not one but two of the m. Isn't it a little weird weird that there's still a vampire hunter today? Because of extinction, no one believes in vampires, their existence was in history. The new generation doesn't even believe that people like us really lived before, they just made the stories about us scare children.
