Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56After V woke her up in the car, Ligaya did not bother to eat anymore. None of them bothered to eat actually. They were too full to take in another meal. As they went inside, Ligaya immediately went to the kitchen where she would usually sleep while V went upstairs.
-----------------
The house was dark and silent. Ligaya, who was just sleeping on the long wooden chair in the kitchen was having a good rest, until midnight, when everything went colder and darker than usual. It made Ligaya semiconscious and opened her eyes a bit. But instead of seeing nothing but an empty dark kitchen, a silhouette of someone in a robe appeared standing before her. This immediately triggered all her senses. Thus, within a split second, she was able to throw one of the beads from her bracelet to the man as she sat upright.
The impact of the bead caused an explosion since her accessories were actually mi

Are you mad? Where are you going?" He asked simultaneously."Writing an excuse letter. We still need to take the test." Ligaya answered casually."Oh? Why the hell?"This time, she did not answer but continued writing nonetheless."Let me do it." V offered"Why?""Why not?. . . Fine! Just so you know, they don't accept hand-written ones."

Vermilion Chapter One : Let the Riot Begin!
Intramurals had been the most anticipated event in Sinatra University. Aside from the fun and excitement brought about by the various games it had, it was also the time of the year when almost all the famous and good-looking students usually exposed themselves readily to the eyes of their supporters and admirers.Being known to be the home of champions and "Mr. Universes", the College of Engineering and Architecture had achieved that utmost reputation of having the most number of supporters, may it be from their own college or from another. That day, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun shone the most painful, almost everyone who was involved in Sinatra had gathered together inside the massive Sinatra Gymnasium to witness the final basketball game between the two rival colleges: the College of Business and Governance and the College of Engineering and Architecture. These two had been rivals of all rivals since 2005 and it would really shock everybody if the friction

Inside the Dean's Office, Mrs. Sonia Ariolla, the dean of students, was pacing back and forth in front of all the players who were in her office as of the moment. Not only the commotion that they had done made hervery irritated, she was also annoyed by all the mixed smell of the boys' odors that seemed to be suffocating her entire being."What a disgrace! I did not let all of you students to participate or even have that intramural meet just to give this headache to me!" she shouted at everyone."We are very sorry, ma'am. We'll assure you that it won't happen again and that the two of us, Coach Marlon and I, are going to talk to these boys regarding this matter," explained Coach Jared as he gave his signature death glare to his team."Well, of course, I am expecting the both of you to do so."~~~~~~~~~A lot of sermons came out of Mrs. Ariola's mouth, but nobody even bothered to explain himself.

Class went on and everything seemed to be back on track with V. After the break slash interruption given by the sudden appearance of the new mysterious girl in their class, he suddenly gained his long lost consciousness and began understanding the lessons easily. Well, he's smart though. After a couple ofminutes, the class ended and that time was his time to go to his next class, which, a bit suspiciously, was also Ligaya's next class of the day, and who was now finally sitting beside him. He found it peculiar but decided to not give a notice about it anyway.~~~~~~~~~~~A hundred miles away from Sinatra, a group of aged women were having a meeting. All of them were having that game face on and were really serious whenever they utter or do something within the circle."Why did you let her go, Mamang Turiya? How certain are you that she's doing the right thing?" one of the women asked."It is not for us to decide whether o

Still feeling some ache throughout his body, V tended to savour the feeling of being rested on his bed for another hour. However, he was met by the sudden realization about how on the face of the fucking earth did he get on his bed when all he remembered was he was somewhere near La Primera the nightbefore and was attacked by his enemies and caused him to bleed so much? He immediately opened his eyes to reassure himself that he was really in his room and as he did so, his eyes were met by the presence of his friend Marco who was examining him. He immediately got into his senses for he was shocked to see his friend's face so close to his, and hurried to get off his bed, away from Marco."What the hell was tha-..ugghhhh!" V attempted to confront his friend's weird examination but got interrupted by the pain on his belly."V! V, are you alright, dude?" Marco hurried to V but V just raised his free hand to let Marco know that it's fine and that he d

Surpried was merely just an understatement. Those three words were, in no doubt, astoundingly shocking. But just when V thought that that was it, Ligaya continued to speak the more shocking part of her statement."My guardian asked for you. . .to be bound to me when the day comes that no one in our bloodline will bealive anymore except me." She uttered those words with utmost sincerity and the two boys in front of her; Marco, who was facing her and V, who was facing his back on her, were both taken aback. "I am not asking you to marry me and I am not expecting you to like this idea either, because to tell you frankly, I don'tlike it as much as you do. Lucky for us, a relative of mine was still alive. . .But I'm afraid things wouldn't go the way I planned them to be, and I still have not found the Vermilion which can defy the evil dwellers and can grant wishes yet. An information has been delivered to us that it is located in your world, that's why I a
Vermilion Chapter Six: Unlike Her
Back at the subdivision where V was living, everything still felt weird. Ligaya remained in the kitchen, doing her stuff while V discussed matters with Marco in his bedroom."To be honest, dude, I think you've gone crazy," started Marco who was now playing with a tennis ball while sitting on a couch at the corner of V's room. Tet V was silent, and Marco could tell that he was contemplating about everything."So, did you really mean it? Are you sure you're letting a stranger stay in your house for a month?" Marco added."What else can I do? I've already said it. Besides, she saved my life. Not the saving thing she was saying seven years ago, but the saving that she did last night. She saved me and without her, I could have been a cold corpse right now. It's the least I can do. And mind you, letting her in does not necessarily mean I believe what she said. You know me, idiot.""That's the spirit, dude!" he was about to give a high five to him but V di

After eating and buying some school stuff for Ligaya, V and her finally decided to go home. While driving, a sudden thought came into V's mind."Oh shit," V cursed under his breath. There was slight hint of annoyance in his face."What's wrong?" She asked. Although, unlike her question, it seemed like she did not care at all as to what was wrong."We forgot to buy something.""No, we didn't.""We did. We didn't buy your....you know.""You mean those small pieces of cloth that are used to support the bosom and the gentalia?""Well, yeah. And I shouldn't be discussing this thing with you, for Pete's sake, you idiot!""Don't worry, I asked the lady earlier if they have some of those while you were away and they gave me some of it. I didn't know it comes with different designs. And they really look thin and uncomfortable to use.""What do you mean? Oh, just forget about it. Don't answer my question."&nbs
Vermilion Chapter Sixteen: Punch
Few minutes passed by after V left the mall's men's section, he now had reached the place where he's heading to, the basement. There were 2 people waiting for him there, but they seemed to know each other as they nodded to one another's direction. One of them handed V a pistol, but V just refused to have it."Who the fuck are you kidding? We don't need guns for amateurs," he sounded authoritatively, thus making the two placed their guns at there side as they went to where the crime scene was taking place. As they approached, three men were seen setting a time bomb at one of the cars in the basement, and they seemed to pick the particular car intentionally."Doing some nasty things, huh, little ones?" V asked the three men seriously."What are you..who are you?!" The man at the back spoke angrily. They were now pointing their guns at V and his companions. But instead of freaking out, V and his men just stood there coolly an
Vermilion Chapter Fifteen:
Inside Sinatra University were numerous buildings of assorted shapes and sizes. Few of them were the university's very own dormitories. There were four dormitories all in all. Two Kinetic (big) dorms, one for boys and one for girls; then two Potential (small) dorms, one for boys and one for girls as well.Kinetic Dormitories were designed for everyone from all walks of life who wanted to experience the Sinatra life more than ever, or those who were not originally from that city, while the Potential Dormitories were designed for scholarship recipients and such. Mia was one of them. The dorm she's living in was called the Tuberose Potential Dormitory. It was situated near the university's scholarship building and across the Nursing Department, thus making it a perfect place for her. Aside from its ideal distance to her department, it was also an ideal place for every student to even develop camaraderie since it's smaller than the usual dormitory size, as well as more homey
Vermilion Chapter Fourteen: Apology Not Yet Accepted
Ligaya looked at the boys blankly. This expression of hers did not surprise them anymore, although, they admitted that it did make them feel anxious most of the time."I don't need your money." she finally answered. All of them were disappointed, but Ligaya continued. "But I will help you.""Really?!" They asked in unison"In one condition.""What condition? Just so you know, we're rich. We could actually offer you everything you desire except, of course, our hot bodies," Marco said, feeling pleased with himself as he said the words "hot bodies," which, of course, made everyone except Ligaya grimace. Instead, she just lowered her emotionless eyes on his belly, butnot to size him up but rather to insult him, which pissed him off."I'll teach you, even carry you to pass all of your subjects if you apologize to Mia for all the rude things that you did to her and mean it. Never harass her again
Vermilion Chapter Thirteen: Request
Mia was surprised when Ligaya showed up at their classroom's doorway after her class. She was used to have some visitors before, like Benjie and the squad, but they're annoying. Ligaya was a different case. She liked her honesty and peculiarity, and she actually thanked Nichole for being the catalyst of their friendship."Wow, I did not recognize you at once, you've changed your clothes, huh?" she smiled as they greeted each other."Yeah, they said I have to fit in," she responded nonchalantly."You look. . .better. I didn't know you like men's wear. And. . .you're still wearing your head scarf. Woah.""Just don't mind the scarf. It will be seen with me for the rest of my life. And these clothes are not mine. It's V's," she said without even a trace of hesitation or guilt. She seemed oblivious of Mia's little jealousy."Why did he let yo--""Don't misinterpret it. Don't accuse me, either. He just sold these to m
Vermilion Chapter Twelve: Message
Three large stones were thrown through the house's glass windows. Both of them looked shocked, even though fear was hard to be found on Ligaya's face. V furrowed his eyebrows and hurried outside to check on the culprit, Ligaya followed at once. But they were too late. The ones who did it had already run away with their car."What was that for?" Ligaya asked as soon as she got outside to follow V. V looked a bit agitated, although his whole aura seemed relax."A messege." He responded at once while looking at something on the ground. Ligaya followed his gaze and there on the ground, she saw a couple of dead scorpions which seemed to be placed there intentionally. Both were silent but none looked threatened, until V's phone rang."They just stopped by...I know...just a message. They want another meeting...I'll take care of it." He hanged up and looked at Ligaya's direction."Get inside," he said."What about you?""I ca
