Awakening of the Half-Blood

Chapter 90

Heydrich Oxen Pria Ehrenberg’s Pov

Ilang araw ding hindi nagpakita sa akin si Greeny. At kapag nagkakasalubong naman kami sa school ay siya na ang umiiwas sa akin.

And to be honest, it kinda hurt.

Lalo na ngayong alam ko na malaki ang posibilidad na siya ang reincarnation si Tamara.

But this is for the sake of us. For us not to get entangled with the situation that I am going to make soon against her family.

If she is really Tamara, then I should also do everything to make sure that she will not end up dead like what happened to her before because she decided to help me.

Ayoko nang pagdaanan niyang muli ang lahat ng hirap na dinanas niya dahil lang napasama siya sa squad ko.

I would rather give her the simple life for her to enjoy this limited life she has now. So, I would rather sacrifice our friendship than let her suffer because of me again.

“Did you do something that offended Greeny?” kunot noong tanong sa akin ni Zeri nang makita niyang si Greeny mismo ang agad na nag-iba ng daan matapos nito kaming makita na makakasalubong.

“Maybe she realize that she doesn’t want to be friends with me anymore,” walang gana kong sabi at nagpatuloy na sa paglalakad.

Kakatapos lang ng morning class kaya naman sa office na ni Xan ang tuloy namin. Ako, para makitulog at si Zeri para tumulong sa mga trabaho ni Xan.

“It is impossible,” aniya at mabilis na sumabay sa akin. “Greeny really likes you so it is either you said or do something that really offended her this time. Kasi noong nakaraan lang ay nagta-tyaga siyang hintayin ka sa entrance ng Ehrenberg Mountain at nagbabakasakali na makasabay ka niya papasok sa school. At halos magmakaawa pa siya kay Xan para lang bigyan siya ng temporary invitation spell na magpapapasok sa kanya sa bundok para makausap ka at mapilit na makasama sa event na ni-launch ni Xan para makatulong sa mga tindero ng Sierra Town Market.”

“Yeah, I know that.”

“Seriously, Heyd?” Hinawakan niya ang braso ko kaya natigil ako sa paglalakad. “Can you at least give her a chance? You also like her, right? Why don’t you at least give her a chance so she could prove to you that she is not the same as her clan.”

“Zeri…” Huminga ako ng malalim. “You don’t understand so please, don’t push this topic.”

“No.” Umiling-iling siya. “You have to tell me what is really the problem. Why are you keeping yourself away from her?”

“Why do you even care about that?” Hindi ko na napigilan na magtaas ng boses sa kanya.

Hangga’t maaari kasi ay ayoko na munang isipin ang tungkol sa bagay na ito dahil masyado na akong nade-drain ng pag-iisip.

I have so many responsibilities that I have to shoulder alone so I need to focus on that rather than thinking of this issue that I know might ruin everything that I am working hard for.

“Kung anuman ang mayroon sa pagitan namin ni Greeny, that is none of your f*****g business, okay?”

“Of course, it is my f*****g business,” bawi niya. “Because I care for you and Greeny. At hindi ko gusto na nakikita ang lungkot sa mga mata niyo dahil lang sa isang bagay na alam naman nating madali nyo lang masosolusyunan.”

Natigilan ako nang mapatitig ako sa kanyang mata and now I understand why he is really working hard for me and Greeny to be friends.

Well, what he said is actually true. He cared for the both of us. Maybe because I am his master that he decided to serve all of his life willingly. And because he is in love with Greeny.

“Look, I don’t want to talk about it for now so give me a break, okay?” I said. “And that is an order.”

Sa pagkakataong ito ay hindi na niya sinubukan pang magsalita. Because I just gave him an order and since we are bound by a blood contract, he can’t disobey or else, he will be the one who suffers the consequence.

Agad ko na siyang tinalikuran at mabilis na pumasok sa office ni Xan na nakakunot noo pang nakatingin sa akin dahil sinipa ko lang naman ang pintuan ng office niya para buksan ito.

“Did something happen?”

“Not that I know of,” walang gana kong sambit tsaka binagsak ang sarili ko sa sofa at pumikit.

“Okay,” aniya. “Anyway, Uno and Zedd called.”

Napadilat ako at agad na bumangon. “What did they say?”

“Shiann– I mean, the member of the Shiann clan that Ara got from Hei…” Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya. “You know, the kids that the Shiann Clan sacrifice to your daughter to make sure that the curse placed upon them will not get activated. And those kids were taken by Ara to your daughter in exchange for the possibility of being alive until you finally find her.”

“Oh.” Tumangu-tango ako. “What about those kids?”

“Actually, not all of them were taken from your daughter,” he said. “There are still a number of them that stayed with Hei and became her servants willingly. And some came back to her after becoming teens and became aware of the situation they are in.”

“I am aware of that,” sabi ko.

“So, you know Dain is actually one of those kids that actually came back with Hei when he got a chance to escape from Ara’s laboratory,” aniya.

“Does he know where we could find Ara?”

Umiling siya. “She has a lot of laboratories and her main hideout is not even mentioned in those places so I don’t think he can help with that matter,” sabi niya. “Anyway, lumalayo na tayo sa mismong topic.”

“Right,” I said. “Bakit nga ba tumawag sa iyo sina Zedd at Uno?”

“They are being watch,” sambit niya. “Not by the royal clan as of this moment but the Shiann army that serves Ara Sierra. And not just them. All of the vampires around the country are being watched by them and to be honest with you, they are more dangerous to us than to the humans.”

It looks like Ara is already making her move.
