One bite of love

My existence Ang mamuhay ng normal ay isa sa mga bagay na hindi ko kaya bilang isang immortal. Sa araw araw, Pinipilit Kong wag makihalo sa gulo ng mga tao. 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 sa loob ng 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 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, sa lahat ng bagay na pinag gagawa ko sa past, bakit Di ko gawin inspirasyon iyon para maging manunulat diba? I hope that all of my fancy university's education will lead me directly into wealth and fame, right? Though marami naman na akong money to make my own living but I want to live normally just like normal people does. 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? Nais Kong ipabatid sa inyo na ito ang resulta ng bawat subok na ginagawa ko. 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! Kailangan bang maging sipsip ako sayo para bigyan mo ng change ang gawa ko o sipsipin ko nalang dugo mo, total miss ko na ang lasa ng dugo ng tao... Grabe sya kung punahin ang mga sulat ko. Kasalanan ko bang hindi naman maganda ang products ng clients para gawan ng blog? 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? Kung inilabas lang sana nila iyon. Kahit sino naman tao ayaw sa fake news diba? Sabi ng mama ko na kasalanan ko daw naman lahat. Guess what? Wala akong mama. Wala kasi akong kasalanan, gets mo? "Tangerine! Why 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 throw a pile of books at me but my senses is 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.." Banggit ko sa kanila. Hindi maalis ang gulat na nasa kanilang muka, ang bukas na bibig ng aking boss ay labis na nagpapatawa sa akin sa kaloob looban ko, gulat kayo no?. Okay, mukang hahanap na ako ng bagong trabaho nito. Sa next 300 years ko nalang ulit susubukan maging manunulat. "Ehem! I think it's time to say that I'm fired, right boss?" Sabi ko habang inililigpit na ang aking mga gamit. "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 na wala akong ambag sa 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." Utal Kong sabi dito habang napapakagat labi sa kaba. "I like you" Biglang sabi nito. No! No! No! No way boss. Hindi ako pumapatol sa may asawa na at may tatlong anak. Sa more than 900 years Kong pamumuhay hindi ko pinangarap maging kabet. Naku Rudolfo tigil tigilan mo ko ha baka tapyasin ko yang malaki mong tiyan. "Hindi boss, I quit nalang, oo quit nalang diba?" Shemay na yan sa libo libong tao na na kilala ko sa tingin mo sayo ako babagsak? No way. Over my pale sexy body. Grabe mas nakakatakot ka pa boss kesa sa pilak. Agad Kong kinuha ang bag ko at tumakbo palabas ng building, walang hiya to, na turn on sa pagsalo ko ng libro? Dati ka bang adik? Sa pag takbo ko ay may kung ano akong natapakan na syang maging dahilan para mapatid ako. Sa pag bagsak ko ay ka sabay na nagkahiwa hiwalay ang mga gamit sa loob ng aking bag. "Too clumsy for a vampire." Isang matipunong lalaki ang nag alok ng kamay upang itayo ako. Moreno at matangos, 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? Hindi ko tinanggap ang kamay nito subalit ay kumilos ako paatras. 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. "Calm down we are the same creature." He proudly state. Ha? Bampira ka rin? Hindi halata ah... Wala pa akong nakikitang morenog bampira sa talambuhay ko. 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 impostor. "Alam ko ang iniisip mo..." Agarang sabi nito. "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 chase 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 sing bilis tayo ni the flash." I said as I flipped my hair up. "Last time na ginawa ko yan lalong dumami ang mga nag hahanap sakin, I don't even trust everyone without that vamp smell." Paliwanag nito. 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 have the ability to sense it. How cool! "May I know how that thing works?" I asked. Sa loob ng higit 900 years I still don't have a lot of information about being vampire, because of extinction. Hindi ko na naabutan ang mga ninuno namin. Kumpara sa bampira... Isa palang akong hamak na bata. Nine hundred years of my existence katumbas ng twenty years ng buhay ng normal na tao. 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 did not know who am I, besides I live like normal people. Naglalakad na ko nang pumasok sa isip ko ang vamp smell na sinasabi nitong na kausap ko kano kanina lang. Saan kaya ako makakahanap ng inpormasyon tungkol dito? 2022 na at malamang halos lahat ng tao sa Internet na kumukuha ng sagot sa mga katanungan nila. Pero ang Internet ay gawa lang din ng mga tao, hindi mo masasabing facts ang mga nandito. I 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, isang haka haka. 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. Sa pag lalakad ko ay nakabangga na naman ako. "Sa lalim ng iniisip mo, baka mahulog ako sayo." Pangbobola ng nabangga ko. Isang matipunong lalaki na nakasombrelo na pang cowboy, may kahabaan ng buhok at may kwintas na naka sulat ay "dos", such a weird pendant, right? Agad syang siniko ng lalaking kasama nya. Mas matangkad, at mas hamak na gwapo kesa sa una. "Pasensya ka na sa kapatid ko, hindi kasi yan naturuan kung paano makipag usap ng maayos sa babae." Bahagyang nakangiti nitong sabi. Pag ka tingin ko sa kwintas ay mayroon rin itong weirdong pendant, "Uno". Maybe it represents sa katayuan nila, "Uno" para sa panganay at "dos" para sa pangalawa. It makes sense right? "Pasensya na kayo, nag quit kasi ako sa trabaho ko kaya medyo iniisip ko kung ano nalang ang gagawin ko sa buhay." Pag kasabi ko ay nag patuloy na ako sa pag lalakad. Tatlong hakbang pa ay may humawak sa aking kamay na syang naging dahilan ng aking pag hinto. Pag tingin ko ay ang lalaking may kwintas na uno ang nakasulat, bakit kaya? "Did you just stopped me?" Mataray Kong tanong. "Are a... Amm a vam.. Ugh nothing you can go, sorry." Sabi nito. Seriously people? Anong problema nyo? I'm way too busy to think paano ko ba mahahanap yung lugar na yon tapos guguluhunin nyo ang utak ko? But it seems na he is going to ask me if I am a vampire... Is the two of them are hunters? Sila ba ang The duo na tinatakbuhan ng lalaki kanina? Nag sitaasan ang mga balahibo ko pero patuloy akong naglakad, mabagal lang Dahil baka mahalaga nila, I can sense na nakatitig sila sa akin. "Pag natipalok yan, ibig sabihin bampira sya." Sa taas ng pa rinig ko bilang isang bampira ay na rinig ko ang katagang iyan mula sa Isa sa kanilang dalawa. Wag kang magkakamaling mapatid Feove Corpynsilve... I forgot, Tangerine Lacoste nga pala ang rehistradong pangalan ko dito sa Pilipinas. Basta diretsong lakad lang hanggang sa hindi mo na marinig ang hininga nilang dalawa. Shet for the first time in 900 years, I encountered a hunter! Not one but two of them. Isn't it little weird weird na may a vampire hunter pa rin ngayon? Because of extinction, wala ng naniniwala sa vampire, their existence was in the history. Ni hindi nga naniniwala ang bagong henerasyon na totoong nag namuhay ang mga tulad namin noon, ginawa nalang nilang panakot sa mga bata ang mga kwento tungkol samin.
