Chapter 7 - Chapter 02: Bloody Rose Gun

"Le Blank..."

"Le Blank!"

"Carmela... Carbonara is on the menu today" Isabel whispered on my ear habang ako'y natutulog. Nagising ang diwa ko nang marinig ko ang Carbonara...

"Thank you for the food!" I said as I stood up still half asleep.

"Oops-"

"Napping again? Both you and Damien?" The Professor said while holding his stick as he looked at me.

"Huh?" Napalingon ako sa likuran ko sa may itaas at nakita kong mahimbing na natutulog din si Damien.

Napahawak naman ako sa may leeg ko na may bandaid. Naaalala ko pa din yung nangyari kagabi.

"Being members of the Disciplinary Committee must be a difficult and demanding Job... Mhm.. I see" The Professor said as I scratched my head and turned my gaze back to him.

"Ehehe, please don't worry" I said with a smile.

"You and Damien to attend the detention!"

Napabugtong hininga ako at tumungo sa upuan ko.

"Detention again..." I mumbled in a frustration.

"You have it rough, don't you?" Isabel said while putting her books inside her bag.

"You don't return 'til morning and then sleep during class hours..."

"You're like a Vampire" I got shocked when she mentioned that, alam niya kaya?

I faced her and said, "H-Huh? D-Do you believe there are such things as vampire, Isa?"

"Now?!" She said in disbelief.

I sighed in relief.

"Y-yeah you're right" I said.

"Pero teka napaano yang nasa leeg mo?" She asked as she point her fingers at the bandaid placed on my neck that I used to hide Damien's bite...

"Ah eh, medyo sumakit kasi leeg ko kakazumba" I reasoned, as I avoid her gaze.

"I see, you should be more careful next time" She said as she pats my head. "I'll get going now, I still have to contact my family" She said as she excused herself.

"And oh by the way Damien's not here anymore" She added, my eyes widen in shocked as I turned my head to look at Damien's chair but he was not there anymore. Oh damn! That asshole really still have the guts to escape!

I sighed as I was left alone in the room because of this detention. I swear to God I'm going to beat someone's ass tonight!

One hour later...

I was finally able to go out of the classroom and I was on my way to find where that asshole is.

Habang naglalakad ako sa hallway ay nakasalubong ko si Augustus he wasn't wearing his uniform which is somewhat new to me. Wala ba silang pasok?

He then stopped in front of me as he looked down at me and took off the bandaid from my neck making me to cover it using my hand.

"What is that?" He asked in a serious tone.

"I-It's nothing serious, I accidentally scratches it with my nails" I said as I hope that reason will work on him. But when I looked at him, he looks so serious.

He pinned both of my hands against the wall as he whispered. "Liar, It doesn't look like a scratch. Who bite you?" He said in a deep voice.

I gulped in my throat as I felt nervous when he asked me. I just pushed him off of me and looked at him.

"I said it isn't something serious" I repeated as I walked away and ignored him in which I felt bad. I sighed as I just focus on finding Damien.

I search him around the forest and saw a barn house not that far. I walked closer and there I saw him laying down on the ground with his blood tablets scattered on the ground. Is he thirsty again? Does my blood didn't satisfy him last night?

But I just disregard what I am thinking at the moment and just act normal in front of him.

"I found you at last!" I said habang nakapamewang na nakatingin sa kanya.

"As members of the Disciplinary Committee, we aren't supposed to skip detention!" I added.

"You came just to get me, didn't you?" He asked as he stood up and walked closer to me as he looked down at me. His eyes were glowing bright red.

"The detention is over" I said.

"But I can't have you skip your duty again!" I added.

"It's time for the switchover, remember?" I said.

"I know." He said coldly as he walked away and leave me once again.

--

"Oh, Lord Augustus you're back" Lucius said as soon as I entered the room wearing my coat.

"Are you alright?" Elizabeth asked as she approach and check me physically.

"It's good you are not hurt or something, but may I know why you suddenly left your dorm last night" She said as she hold my hand but I immediately sway it and just silently walked to my seat and quietly sit there.

"Just let him be" Valen said as he put a lollipop inside his mouth.

I can't still forget how Carmela acted so foolish and cold to me earlier. She never done this to me before, Hindi ko na narealize na nasunog ko na yung hawak kong pulang rosas na ibinigay sakin ng isa sa mga babaeng hinahangaan ako mula sa Day Class.

"He seems like he is in a bad mood" Lucius teasingly said.

I glared at him as I used my ability to control an object and then when I successfully make the book float in the air I throw the book at him but he easily dodged my attack.

"Hey, hey calm down. I didn't intend to mean it that way I was just guessing" He said as he looked at me.

"Lord Augustus"

Napatingin kaming lahat kay Serena na isa sa mga assistant ng Lolo ko pero isa rin sa spy na ginamit ko dahil alam ko na mapagkakatiwalaan ko siya.

"Napabisita ka ata ng maaga, anong meron?" I asked.

"Your grandfather wants me to give this letter to you" She said as she handed me a letter.

I can smell a blood of another poor human being that has been killed by him again from the letter he sent me.

"What is this?" I asked while slowly opening it.

"It's a letter of invitation for his birthday celebration this upcoming week" She said.

I nodded my head as I read the letter, Hindi pa rin talaga maganda pakiramdam ko sa invitation na toh.

"Anything else other than that?" I asked as I can sense that it's not just his celebration.

"Fixed Marriage of you and Lucius sister" She said.

"WHAT?!" Elizabeth suddenly interrupt our conversation as she looked at Serena in disbelief.

"Hindi pwede toh!" She yelled as she clenched her fist and gritted her teeth in anger.

"Ano?! Kapatid ko?! Aba hello pala brother inlaw ko!" Lucius jokingly said as he let out a chuckled.

I looked at them with no emotions as I am very unhappy with it. Alam niya na hindi ko gusto ang mga ganitong set up yet he still do it.

"Tell him I will not attend his celebration unless cinancel niya yang fix marriage na sinet up niya sakin" I said.

"Masusunod po, Lord Augustus" Serena replied as she bow her head and suddenly disappears in front of me.

"I- Bakit mo naman ipapacancel? Eh ang ganda ng kapatid ko" Lucius said as he stood up.

"Maganda nga kaso..." Hindi maituloy ni Phoenix ang sasabihin niya.

"Kaso flat" Valen said making the vampire males at the back to laughed.

"Isip bata" Isaiah added.

"Walang kacurve-curve" Violet said as she put a lollipop on her mouth.

"Ipagtatanggol ko sana kaso tama kayo" Lucius said as he chuckled as well.

--

Nandito na ako sa rooftop nang may matanaw akong dalawang estudyante na nakauniform ng Day Class.

Tumalon ako mula sa rooftop sabay sumabit sa sanga ng puno para hindi malaglag.

"You there! Tell me your name and class!" I said as I jumped off the tree branches.

"It is against the academy's rules to wander around at night as it is dangerous!" I added as I stood up. "So, go back to your dorms!"

"We came to take pictures of the night class students."

"Can't we just take a few?... ow"

"Are you okay? Can you walk?"

I sighed as I walked closer to the short brown haired girl who is having problem in walking.

"Oh, you're bleeding! Hurry and go back to the dorm!" I said. As I know, the night class will be able to smell the blood.

"Huh? What?"

"Just hurry!" I said, but it was too late...

"Who's there?!" I yelled as I took out my anti-vampire weapon and point it but the male immediately avoided it.

"Oh scary... The Headmaster trained you so well" Phoenix said as he hold the tip of the anti-vampire weapon, Lucius was behind him.

"N-Night Class Phoenix and Lucius!"

Hindi makapaniwalang sinabi nung isang estudyante. Hindi maganda toh...

"Omg!"

"Geez... We just came because we smelled blood" Lucius said making me more to be alert as I went in front of the two Day Class girls students.

"You're so mean Carmela... Really, we just came to see..." Lucius said as his eyes glow bright red.

"Ah... you smell so nice"

"Aaa what do we do? He said we smell so nice!" The other girl said as she place both of her hands on her cheeks.

"Lucius, I'm warning you If you lay a finger on the girls, you'll pay dearly" I warned as he suddenly grab my hand and hold it.

"Did you fall?" He asked.

"H-Huh?!" I said.

"What smells nice is your blood, Carmela" He said leaning closer to my hand. Damn it, I got a scratched on my palm.

"Um... Lucius..." I said when he suddenly lean his face closer to my palm as he smells it. Oh shit!

"Really... It's very tempting" He said in a deep voice while his eyes glow red brighter than before. He let out his fangs as he was about to bite my palm.

"F-Fangs?!"

Nako patay na! Napatingin ako sa dalawang estudyante na nanginginig sa takot at hindi na makagalaw sa kinatatayuan nila.

"V-Vampire?!"

"I- LUCIUS DON'T!" I yelled but it was too late he already bit my hand and sucks my blood. Shit. It hurts!

"I want more" He mumbled as he lick the blood on my palm. Naramdaman ko ang mga daliri niya sa leeg ko na dahan-dahang tinetrace ang spot ko.

Napansin kong hinimatay na sa gulat yung dalawang estudyante. Hindi maganda toh!

"Can I take some from your neck?" He whispered in my ear.

"N-No! You can't have any!" I yelled as I tried to push him away from me.

"Lucius-" Napatigil sa pagsasalita si Phoenix nang biglang dumating si Damien at tinutukan si Lucius ng baril sa likuran, hinila ako ni Damien papunta sa kanya.

"Sucking blood in school grounds is strictly forbidden" Damien said as he glared at the two male vampires, Lucius and Phoenix.

"Have you gone mad from the smell of blood, you vampire?!" He added.

"Says the one who just had a good taste of Carmela's blood last night" Lucius said as he laugh. Making Damien's eyes widen in shocked.

"But guess who is lucky tonight as well? I've already tasted it too" Lucius added looking back at Damien.

"Damien, don't shoot him!" I said.

But Damien pulled the triggered and shoot it, good thing I was able to kick his hand so he wasn't able to shoot Lucius.

"Y-You scared me!" Lucius said.

"You can't shoot him, you idiot!" I said.

Nanginginig na sa takot si Lucius habang nakatingin kay Damien.

"To us, that's very threatening." Augustus said as he suddenly appeared. Phoenix was already face palming as he already knew he was dead along with Lucius who just violated the rules.

"I'll take this fool and we'll wait for the Headmaster's punishment" He added sabay iniangat si Lucius na parang bata, hawak-hawak niya si Lucius sa kwelyo.

"Lord Augustus..." Lucius said.

"Is that okay with you, Damien?" Augustus said as he looked at Damien with eyes filled with hatred.

"Damien..." I mumbled as I looked at Damien.

"Take them, De Vile" Damien said.

"Phoenix, Why didn't you stop Lucius? You're just as guilty." Augustus said.

"Oh" Phoenix said dumbfounded at what had done. He didn't complain as he is guilty.

"Now then. These two had fainted, Violet erase their memories" Augustus ordered as he looked at the two day class girls who just fainted on the groun awhile ago.

"Yes, Lord Augustus" Violet said as she went close to the two girls and placed her hands on each of the girl's head as she erases their memories to what happened.

"Take them back to the Headmaster's and I'm sorry if he scared you... Carmela" Augustus said in a sincere tone.

I looked at him and shake my head, "It's alright, I just hope this will not happen again and can we talk later at the fountain?" I said as I wanted to apologize to him personally for what I had done earlier.

"Alright" Augustus said, when suddenly Damien hold my hand and dragged me with him.

"I- Damien, wait" I said but he wouldn't listen and just continue on walking, what's up with him?

I just let him drag me with him till we reach the Headmaster's Residence. He took me to the clinic as he make me sit on a chair.

"Akin na kamay mo" He said in a husky voice.

I gave him my hand and then he begin to treat it with the first aid kit. I watch him clean my scratches that I got from the tree branches.

"T-Thank you" I said as I continue watching him.

"It's nothing, you need to be more careful next time. You always caused me troubles!" He said, I pouted as I nod my head.

"Says the one who just almost kill a vampire" I mumbled to myself. But He just remain silent when suddenly he hug me so tight.

I was so shock when he did that, I didn't know what to say so I just waited for him to say something.

"I'm just afraid to lose someone precious to me again..." He said, I can feel the sadness and loneliness on the tone of his voice when he said that.

"But you will not lose me" I said, reassuring him.

Then he let go of me and pinches my nose.

"Just be careful" He said and then after that he disappeared.

I stood up and run, papunta na ako ngayon sa may fountain kung saan kikitain ko si Augustus sana naman hindi ako nalate. Ilang minuto ang lumipas ay nakarating na din ako muntik pa akong maligaw sa gubat buti na lang talaga may palatandaan ako para makarating dito.

"Carmela..." Palingon na sana ako nang biglang may yumakap sakin mula sa likuran.

"Augustus?" I called his name, alam ko na siya toh. His warmth is familiar.

"Yes, ako nga" He answered.

He then make me to face him as he smiled at me.

"Gusto ko sanang humingi ng tawad sa inakto ko kanina" I said in a sincere tone as I bow at him.

"It's alright, don't worry about it. I understand and I'm sorry if I seems so aggressive that time I was just frustrated and tired" He replied as he gently pat my head and then strokes my hair.

"I'm just glad that nothing bad happens to you" He said as he hug me once again.

Nung mapansin kong medyo namumutla siya.

"Ayos ka lang ba?" I asked, while looking at him worriedly.

"Medyo pagod lang siguro" He answered as he scratched the nape of his neck.

"You seems sick or something" I said as I touch his forehead pero normal lang naman ang temperatura niya.

I crosses my arms as I look at him.

"Tell me, is there something wrong?" I asked.

"Sinet up ako ng Grandfather ko, fix marriage" He said as he let out a sighed.

"H-Ha? Uso pa pala yun?" Hindi ako makapaniwala sa sinabi niya, ang alam ko kasi hindi na gaano kauso yang fix marriage lalo na sa panahon ngayon.

"Eh ano naman plano mo?" I asked, curious lang ako sa gagawin niya.

"Hindi ko pa alam" He answered, naguguluhan pa yata siya.

"Hindi mo ba type yung babae?"

"Hindi naman sa ganon, it's just that ayoko kasi ng pinangungunahan ako. Nangyari na toh sa Papa ko ganito rin ginawa ni Lolo sa kanya pero sa huli mas pinili niya ang tinitibok ng puso niya" He said.

"I see, pero what if magalit Lolo mo sayo kasi hindi mo nasunod kagustuhan niya?" I replied.

"Yun ang isang pinoproblema ko, iba magalit si Lolo lalo na kapag hindi nasusunod ang gusto niya. Tanda ko kung anong ginawa niya sa Papa ko nung nilabag siya, dinisown niya ama ko at pinalayas sa Mansion niya" Nakinig ako sa kwento niya, hirap talaga kapag galing sa mayayaman na pamilya, tradisyon na nila ang ipakasal sa anak ng makakapartner in business. Nakakaawa lang minsan kasi nawawala na yung choice niya na piliin ang gusto niya.

"Kung ano man ang maging desisyon mo, hoping na para sa ikabubuti mo yon. Don't stress too much makakaya mo yan, malalagpasan mo rin" I said as I smile at him.

"Gabi na bumalik ka na sa dorm mo, may pasok pa tayo bukas" He said as he cleared his throat. "Thank you"

Then bigla na lang siyang nawala na parang bula sa harapan ko. Augustus will always be augustus, I let out a chuckle.

Medyo lumalamig na, makabalik na nga sa dorm baka hanapin na ako ni Isabel eh. Sana lang hindi na maulit pa tong insidenteng nangyari ngayong gabi.

"Hoy"
