Married to Six Brothers

Chapter 8

"She's fallen back to sleep as soon she stop screaming," nag-aalalang sabi ni Silver habang pinagmamasdan si Green na natutulog sa kanyang hita.

Kasunod noon ay nasaksihan ng magkakapatid ang pag-iibang expression ng mukha ni Green habang nagsasalita ng lenguahe na kahit sino sa kanila ay hindi nila maintindihan. They are hundred of centuries old pero kahit isa sa mga salita na binabanggit ni Green ay hindi nila maintindihan.

That language is probably much older than them.

An Ancient.

Nanigas ang katawan ni Gresn pagkatapos mag wika noon at isang nakakapangilabot na sigaw ang namutawi sa kanyang bibig na halos ikabingi ng lima.

"Shut her up!" sigaw ni Cross habang nakatakip ang kanyang magkabilang tenga.

Pakiramdam ng magkakapatid ay mababasag ang eardrums nila. Akmang gigisingin ni Zero ang dalaga ngunit bigla itong tumahimik.

"What the hell was that? What kind of dream she's dreaming?" tanong ni Light habang nagbabasa ng libro.

"For a human, she's something far more greater than the normal. Her body produced blood that much even after we finish sucking her. Do you think she's capable of bearing offspring?" sabi naman ni Light habang nilalaro ang ilang hibla ng buhok ni Green.

"No. Humans' can't conceive a vampire offspring. The only one who can do that is Eve and the female born next to her," sabi ni Seven.

"Any news about her father?" pag-iibang tanong ni Zero habang nakapikit.

Bumuntong-hininga si Seven.

"Nothing. I wonder where he is. Walang katao-tao sa kanilang bahay. Last time my source checked, it was in a deep mess as if someone had been there and searched for something," sagot ni Seven.

"You must tell her that. It's a good thing she knows what happened to her father," sagot ni Zero.

Napatigil sa pagsasalita ang magkakapatid at awtomatikong napatingin sa tahimik na natutulog na si Green.

"Damn! What's that smell?" tanong ni Silver. His eyes are glowing and his fangs are starting to elongate. He was into the smell and it made him hungry.

"Its her. Its from her," sagot ni Cross habang inamoy-amoy ang babae.

"Her blood's aroma is changing. She gives too much of the sweet aroma of her blood. Damn it's driving me crazy," sabi ni Light. His fangs are already out and ready to sink it on Green's skin but Seven stopped him.

"Can we feed, Zero?" tanong ni Silver habang nakatingin sa mukha ni Green.

"I don't have the appetite. I rather want to sleep than to feed. I could care less about if you want to feed," sagot ni Zero slumbering lazily on his seat.

"The usual Zero huh?"

"Don't talk like that Zero. You are the eldest and think something! Don't let your brain rot and become useless!" inis na sabi ni Seven sa kapatid.

"Why on Earth do we share only one wife? Is this some sort of natural or what?" wala sa loob na tanong ni Cross habang nakatingin sa labas. "I don't want to share her with any of you. I don't want to get permission before I feed."

"That's bad, Cross. She was meant to all for us. Don't be so selfish," sagot sa kanya ni Light.

Namagitan ang mahabang katahimikan sa pagitan ng magkakapatid hanggang sa makarating sila sa mansion bago binuhat ni Silver ang tulog na si Green. At inilapag sa sarili nitong kwarto.

"What are you looking at?" tanong ni Sky kay Zero ng madatnan niya itong nakatingin sa labas ng bintana na kinauupuan nito.

"It bothers me since she arrives here, there are shadows lurking behind those trees," sagot sa kanya ni Zero bago tumayo at naglakad patungo sa sarili nitong silid.

"What do you mean?" pahabol na tanong ni Sky dito.

"As a vampire, you can tell something unusual by now," sagot nito at tuluyang pumasok sa silid nito at isinara ang pintuan.

Zero was their eldest brother, he spoke like their father. Natural lang na malakas ang pakiramdam nito dahil siya ang head ng kanilang pamilya. It's his instinct to sense that something's not right. But the thing they hate about him is being laid back and lazy. He spends a large amount of his time sleeping.

Saka lamang naisip ni Sky na nag-iba na ang amoy ng mga puno sa paligid. Noon ay humahalimuyak ito sa kanyang pang-amoy ngunit nitong mga nakaraang araw ay amoy nabubulok na laman ng tao ito. Kung ano man ito, it seems like it is just waiting. Waiting for what?

Someone's Point of View

"Have you already decided Alexander?" tanong ko sa lalaking nakagapos habang ang kasama nitong babae ay kasalukuyang walang malay at nakahandusay sa sahig.

Ngumisi si Alexander.

"Walang kang makukuhang impormasyon sa akin kahit anong gawin mo," tigas nitong sagot sa akin.

Bumuntong-hiniga ako.

"Really? Want me to tell you something? Perhaps a very important something?"

Napatingin siya sa akin.

Inilabas ko ang isang maliit na picture at itinapat sa kanya. Nakita kong nanlaki ang kanyang mga mata bago tumingin sa akin.

"I bet you knew this baby very well, Alexander. Is this your daughter? Or rather Maria's baby who is destined to be the next Eve?"

"No I don't know what are you saying," pagsisinungaling niya sa akin.

"You're careless Alexander," natatawa kong sabi sa kanya. "I know you sealed her power when she was just a toddler and then did the same sealing when she was thirteen. How about now? Hindi ba nawawala ang anak mo? Nasaan na kaya siya? You bet I didn't know that huh? You see I've been to your house every single day just to find something about your missing daughter and yet I found this. How old is she now? Sixteen? Seventeen? Or maybe about to turn eighteen?"

"Don't you dare to touch her!", sigaw nito sa akin. His black eyes change into silver blue, it is a sign that he has changed into a vampire now.

Silver blue eyes is the sign that he's in his ADAM from now but sad to say since his wife, the former Eve is already dead he doesn't have the same power that Eve shared with him before. And he just became a normal vampire. Nothing special.

"What are you going to do? Rescue her? Seal her Eve's power? You are hopeless Alexander. She is turning eighteen in a few days and you knew very well Eve's power will unleash and you can't do anything about it."

Nakatingin lamang siya sa akin habang walang magawa other than snarling at me. Punong-puno ng galit ang kanyang mga mata na kung hindi siya nakatali ay malamang inatake na niya ako. Adam's power is almost equal to Eve's. And if Eve is still alive, I'll be a dead meat just by facing her Adam. It is very impossible for me to defeat him.

"And by the way, I know where your daughter is. But I'm going to get her and do unimaginable things to her until she will choose me as her Adam or rather, I'll get her heart. Eat it and viola! I'll be the strongest vampire ever," sabi ko sa kanya.

"Don't you ever dare," he warns me again. "You're imagining things that you know you will never have," nakangising sabi niya. "If my daughter's the next Eve, so be it."

"What are you going to do? You can't even free yourself. You know, there are a lot of enemies lurking around, Alexander. And I bet when Green started to change, when she's at her weak state, enemies will find her and kill her," sabi ko bago tumawa at sabay labas sa silid na iyon at hinayaan siyang magwala habang nakatali.

Sinalubong ako ng isa sa mga tauhan ko.

"Sir it is time," magalang na sabi sa akin ng aking butler na si Sebastian habang bahagya itong nakayuko sa aking harapan.

Naglakad ako tuloy-tuloy palabas sabay sakay sa limousine na nakaparada sa labas ng aking mansion. Ilang sandali lamang ay umalis na ito at binabagtas ang kalsadang patungo sa eskwelahang papasukan ko.

"Robrinso brothers huh?" sabi ko ng mabasa ang text ni Gerund.

This is not good. Kapag nagising na ang tunay na katauhan ni Eve at nasa piling parin siya ng magkakapatid ay magiging alanganin akong maging adam niya. She was already married.

Kailangan kong makuha siya bago pa dumating ang kanyang birthday.

Ngumisi ako.

All is well.

I am far too superior to those Robrinso brothers.

Bagito pa lamang sila, ako ay bihasa na.

What is the difference between

Me and them?

Answer?

I am way stronger than those pests.

Tulad ng inaasahan, naunang dumating ang limousine na pagmamay-ari ng Robrinso brothers. Hindi muna ako bumaba upang makita ko ang sinasabi ni Gerund na bagong Eve. Ilang sandali lamang akong naghintay at bumaba mula sa limousine ang babaeng hindi ko inaasahan na ubod ng ganda. Bahagya itong dumukwang sa loob ng limousine at pagkatapos ay nagmamadali itong pumasok ng gate ng school na pinapasukan nito.

Agad akong bumaba sa limousine at balak ko sanang pumasok sa loob ng school na iyon ngunit nagsalita ang isa sa magkakapatid na hindi ko namalayang nakababa rin pala.

"You are not allowed to enter that school," narinig ko sabi ng lalaking naka-eyes glass na lalaki. If I am right, isa ito sa magkakapatid at ayon na rin sa report ni Gerund, ito ang pangalawa sa magkakapatid at ang pangalan niya ay Seven.

"Ah.. I just saw someone who caught my eyes. I just want to ask her name," pangisi kong sagot sa kanila sabay lagay ng mga kamay sa aking bulsa.

"We know that she is darn cute but she is ours. Think twice before you act something stupid," sabi naman ng lalaking kulay narrow green ang mata. At kung hindi ako nagkakamali maaaring isa ito sa triplets.

"Is that supposed to be a threat?" tanong ko.

"Consider it as one," sagot niya.

"You don't even know me," sabi ko.

"We know," sabi naman ng bagong babang lalaki habang may earphone sa tenga nito and he's looking at me in side view style. "We can smell that in you. But the question is, do you know us?" his voice is serious just like his eyes that are looking at me.

Vampires. They are plain vampires. Nothing is special about them.

"Don't ever think about snatching her from us. We will going to hunt you down and you will not gonna like it," sagot niya bago ibinato sa akin ng isang cellphone.

Nasalo ko ito bago pa mahulog sa sementadong kalsada.

"Now, that's a threat for you", sabi muli ng forest green eyed na lalaki bago sila tumalikod at muling sumakay sa limousine nila at pinaandar ito papasok sa Salvatore high.

Tinignan ko ang cellphone at ganun na lamang ang gulat ko ng makitang kay Gerund and cellphone na iyon.

I should get her and hide her far far away from those brothers. Tumingin ako sa possible classroom ng babaeng itinakda ko para sa akin. Soonest she will be mine.

Ngumisi ako.

I think this will be a tough war but I'll outsmart them.
