The Demon of Wrath

MEETING THE VAMPIRE PRINCE

SOMEONE POV

"S-Savannah"

Natuod siya sa kaniyang kinatatayuan habang nakatingin sa babaeng kawangis na kawangis ng kaniyang namayapang fiance'. Nakita niya naman na kumunot ang noo nito pero nanatiling maganda pa rin sa paningin niya.

Lahat ng mayroon ito physically speaking ay mayroon din si Savannah.

Her golden eyes, long blond hair that almost reached her waist, her height which is 5 ft 10 tall, her angelic face, flawless white skin and her sexy body that was compared to an hour glass. Kopyang-kopya talaga nito ang namayapa niyang nobya. 

'Is she really Savannah?' or he's just hallucinating right now.

'Savannah is dead, Kingston. Accept that fact already,' kastigo ng kanyang isipan sa kaniya. 

He heaved a deep sighed as he compose himself. This woman is obviously a double ganger of his woman. Hindi siya nagha-hallucinate dahil nagkataon lang na sa mundong ito ay may namumuhay na kawangis ang una at kaisa-isang babaeng minahal niya. 

"Savannah?" the woman asked in front of him. Nalukot ang magandang mukha nito at kunot-noong tinitigan siya. "Sorry bro but I'm not Savannah." 

Nanatili naman siyang nakatulala sa harapan nito kaya naman nakatanggap siya ng malakas na batok mula sa babae na hindi niya inaakalang gagawin nito ang bagay na iyon sa kaniya.

"What the hell was that for?" reklamo niya rito.

The lady remains serious standing with a strong aura, charismatic looks and full of confidence in front of him. Ito lang sa tingin niya ang pinagkaiba nito kay Savannah. His woman was known to be sweet and caring but with a low self-esteem. 

"I'm just concern you know. Your soul seems to be abducted by an alien. You should be thankful rather than being angry"

He just found himself letting out a soft chuckled after he heard that from her.

"Hindi ko inaasahan na mayroon palang naniniwala dito sa mga alien." 

"Mortals believed in Alien though," pagrason nito sa kaniya.

"Naniwala ka naman?" he asked casually.

"Not actually. I just loved their alien movies," mahina naman siyang natawa nang marinig iyon. "I even bought a DVD of an alien movies they had when I once visit their world. Pwede kitang pahiramin if you want." 

Napangiti naman siya ng marinig ang lahat ng iyon dito sa babae. He's just so happy because he felt that he was having a conversation with Savannah again. 

 "Anyways, what race do you belong?" the lady asked to him, diverting their conversation to a topic that is worth talking about.

Saglit siyang natigilan dahil napaisip siya kung anong race ang sasabihin niya rito. Hindi niya rin naitanong sa kaniyang mga magulang at kay Hades kung anong race ang gagamitin niya rito sa mundong ito.

Ang pagiging magic user niya ba o ang pagiging warlord? Demon race is a good choice also.

In the three races, which one should he choose then? After a quick yet thorough evaluation, he ended up choosing- "Demon race"

Nagtaka naman siya ng biglang dumilim ang anyo ng babae na parang papatay ng tao. Nagsimula na rin itong lumayo sa kaniya at hindi niya iyon nagustuhan. 

He likes her company but looks like his final chosen race ruin it. Galit ito pero kitang-kita niya ang sobrang pagpipigil nito sa sarili.

"What's the problem?" takang tanong niya rito.

"You're an enemy" sabi nito at nagulat siya ng lumabas ang pakpak nito sa likod. 

"A-Angel," iyan lang ang tanging nasabi niya habang kaharap ito.

She came from the race of angels. Now he knew why she suddenly became distant from him after he said that he came from the Demon race.

 'Is Demon and Angel here still hated each other?' naitanong niya sa kaniyang sarili.

Akala niya lahat ng lahi ay magkasundo na rito. 

"You seem so nice but I loathe the blood that runs in your veins."

"Wait-" bago pa niya ito mapigilan ay lumipad na ito papalayo sa kaniya.

Sa hindi malamang kadahilanan ay nakaramdam siya ng lungkot sa biglang paglisan nito.

Was it because she resembles a lot of his deceased finacei' or because he wanted her to be his friend? Naiinis niyang ginulo ang kaniyang buhok dahil sa nangyari.

Kingston Pov

'Who's that lady? Hindi ba talaga si Savannah ang babaeng iyon.' 

Nahilot ko ang aking sentido dahil sumakit ito sa pagpupumilit ko na ang anghel na iyon ay si Savannah. I also forgot to asked her name.

'Snap out of it, Kingston!' saway ng aking isipan sa akin dahil nawawala na ako sa focus. 'Focus on your mission. You're not here to change your status nor forcing yourself to believe that Savannah is still alive!'

I heaved a deep sighed before I cleared all the thoughts i have in mind. My objective going in this world was almost ruined by that woman who looked exactly like Savannah. 

‘I'm sorry Queen' naibulong ko nalang ang bagay na iyon dahil imbes na seryosohin ang misyon ay mas pinagkakaabalahan ko pang isipin na buhay pa ang matagal ng patay. May isang buhay na kailangan akong sagipin at hindi ko siya dapat biguin.

"Hey, bro."

Napatingin naman ako sa tumapik sa aking balikat. "It's your turn"

Gusto kong kutusan ang aking sarili ng mapansin kung ako na pala ang sunod na magpapa-register. Matagal-tagal na pala akong nagmo-monologue kaya hindi ko na napansin na oras ko na pala.

Kahit na nahihiya sa ginawa ko ay pinanatili kong walang emosyon ang aking mukha which is something that i am good at doing. I cleared my throat before I sit in the chair in front of the registration desk.

"State your name," kaagad na sabi sa akin ng isang opisyales na nasa registration area. She obviously came from the race of vampire based on her physical appearance. 

"Kingston Mystique," I answered.

Saglit itong napatigil sa pagsusulat at gulat na gulat na napatingin sa akin.

"Are you related to the Warlord King and Queen?"

Sandali akong natigilan dahil hindi ko inaasahan na may nakakakilala pala sa apelyido namin rito.

What to do?

"Don't worry your secret is safe to me."

Para naman akong nabunutan ng tinik ng marinig iyon. Nagtanong na ito ulit tungkol sa personal information ko and I honestly answered her. After that, he injected something at my neck and then she gave me a black ring as follows. Nagtataka man sa naging proseso ng registration ay hindi na ako nagtanong pa. 

"That ring is the proof that you are already registered in this world," sabi nito sa akin ng mapansin nitong masuri kong tinititigan ang singsing na ibinigay nito sa akin. "Good luck, Prince Kingston." 

Tumayo na ako at agad itong tinalikuran. Pagkuwan ay isinuot ko ang singsing at wala namang espeyal na nangyari ng gawin ko iyon. I then started walking but later then I realized that I don't exactly know where I am going right now. Sa Academy of course pero hindi ko naman alam kung saan ito makikita

Fuck this very rush mission of mine. This is what I hate when the mission was not that planned well.

"Hey bro," pagkuha ng pansin sa akin ng isang lalaki.

It's him again, the one who patted my shoulder earlier in the registration lane.

He obviously came from the race of Vampire. He has this black pitch eyes, pale skin and black messy hair as well. He is wearing a black long cape with stand-up collar while his sword is attached in the baldric he worn. He looks smaller than me because I am 6 ft 3 while he is 6 ft 1. Not that small though compare to the average height of other races here.

"Sa Academy ba kaagad ang tuloy mo?"

I just nod as a response as I continue walking on my own. Pansin ko naman na tila wala itong balak na magpaiwan dahil para itong asong naka-buntot sa akin. Saglit akong tumigil at kunot-noong tinitigan ito.

"What do you think you are doing?" takang tanong ko sa kaniya.

"Makikisabay sa'yo" nakangiting sabi nito. "Baka maligaw ka mahirap na."

Natahimik naman ako ng marinig iyon.

"Ikaw rin. Sa sobrang lapad at laki nitong Uni-World, hindi na ako magugulat kong maligaw ka nga talaga," anito at tiningnan ako mula ulo hanggang paa. "You didn't even bother to brought your personal belongings or even a single map that would help you. Para kalang magliliwaliw dito pre."

Bigla akong nakaramdam ng inis ng marinig ang lahat ng iyon. That's f*****g true anyways. Dala ko lang ay ang sarili ko, itong damit na suot ko at maging itong 'Hellion' na nasa likuran ko.

Aside from all of that, I didn't brought anything. Unlike him that he has a medium size backpack in him. Unlucky me but lucky him.

"I'm in a hurry," I just reasoned out.

That's the truth anyways. I only have 59 days left to find that angel before it become to late for me to save my twin. 

Ngumisi naman ito.

"I know. It's about your mission right?"

I was caught off guard hearing that question of his. I was literally shocked because someone knew about my mission here in this world.

"Relax bro, I'm your partner in this mission of yours. Your father sent me to help you here," sabi nito sa akin na dagling nagpakunot sa aking noo.

"My father?"

Tiningnan ko ito ng maigi, inuusisa kung nagsasabi ba ito ng pawang katotohanan o hindi. My dad didn't tell me that i'm going to work with someone. "Okay, para iwas duda, I'll introduce myself first."

Nanatili lang akong nakatingin sa kaniya.

"I am Prince Lance Hawkins Valmon, son of King Caleb Valmon of the Vampire Race. My Dad is one of your father's mythical guardians."

Napatango-tango naman ako kalaunan ng marinig iyon sa kaniya. I know his Dad's name because my Dad told me before that he had 8 Mythical Guardians and one of those is the Vampire King.

"Don't worry I am a very reliable partner," pag-buhat nito sa sarili niton bangko.

"Hindi ko kailangan ng tulong mo," mariin ang pagkakasabi ko niyon sa kaniya.

"Really? I highly doubt that," sabi naman nito na may tonong nakakainsulto.

Pinukol ko ito ng masamang tingin pero nanatili itong kalmado habang nakapaskil parin ang ngisi nito sa labi. "Hindi mo pa nga nasisimulan ang misyon mo ay kailangan mo na ng tulong ko."

"Fine!! Just stop pissing me off!" naiinis na sabi ko. "Pero uunahan na kita, hindi ako magbabayad sa pagtulong mo sa akin."

Mahina naman itong natawa.

"My service is free, my friend."

"I'm not your friend," dagling sabi ko sa kaniya pero nginitian lang niya ako.

"Not now but soon my friend."
