ARCADIA

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" It was Simon, the ruler of the vampire hunters.

I stepped forward. Hihilahin sana ako ni Vlad patalikod pero iniwasan ko siya.

"I am giving you a minute to leave this Academe peacefully. No wounds, No bruises, No blood." I smirked at them while playing with the stone na pinulot ko.

The hunters started laughing. My smirk became even wider.

"Shut up!" One hunter shouted and then he shoot me sa balikat with his gun.

Tinignan ko yung balikat ko na binaril niya. The body absorbed the bullet like it's nothing.

"I'll take that as an answer then." I run using my vampire speed towards the guy who shot me.

"Dammit, Arcadia!" It was Kazan who shouted but I don't care.

"You guys came on the perfect time. We haven't drink a fresh human blood for quite a while now. Thank you, Simon for serving our meal." And with that, kinagat ko ang leeg ng isang hunter, sucking all his blood out.

"Shoot her!" Simon shouted. Nginisan ko lang sila before I teleported papunta sa mga kasama ko.

I wiped off the blood na nasa chin ko using my fingers and then sucked it.

"The blood is not that sweet but okay na." Sinamaan ako ng tingin ng mga hunters na andito.

If I'm not mistaken, there are over a hundred hunters here.

"Let's go and feed ourselves." I said to my vampire family.

Nag stretch pa si Ash at Sid na mukhang nag lolokohan pa rin. Tinignan ko si Vlad na naka tingin lang sa akin. He seems so amused dahil sa ginawa ko.

Nag silabasan na ang pangil namin. The prime vampire's eyes are all red while mine is bright yellow. The wolves transformed into their wolf form.

Ahh. The perfect time to show this hunters who they are fighting against.

Using my vampire speed, tumakbo ako papunta sa kanila. I am ripping all the heads ng mga hunters na nakakasalubong ko. If I have a chance, I am sucking their blood.

May isang hunter ang may hawak ng swiss knife. Huminto ako sa harap niya, I showed him my fangs kaya napa atras siya.

"Aalis ako. May pamilya ako. Please, spare my life." Nginisian ko siya sa sinabi niya. Lumapit ako sa kaniya habang siya paatras ng paatras.

"I gave you your chance kanina diba? You missed your chance, human." Lumapit ako sa kaniya.

I am about to bite his neck but someone stabbed me at the back using a sharp wood.

Tinignan ko ang kahoy na naka tusok sa dibdib ko. Tinignan ko ang hunter na gulat na gulat habang naka tingin sa likod ko.

I slowly pulled the wood na nakasaksak sa dibdib ko as I slowly look behind my back and I saw a girl sa likod ko.

I smirked at tinignan ang hunter na nasa harap ko. Using my vampire speed, I went behind this 12-year-old girl at yinakap ang leeg niya ng mahigpit using my one arm.

"Ako nalang. Ako nalang, wag mong sasaktan ang anak ko." His fear is feeding my ego and my eagerness.

"I show no mercy, human." And with that, pinuntahan ko ang hunter at kinagat ang leeg niya.

"Daddy!" The girl hurriedly ran towards the human at yinakap while crying.

What a scene.

Tinignan ko ang paligid. The vampires are coated with blood. The wolves' fur are also coated with blood.

"I'll be back! Next time, with a stronger army. Strong enough to kill a hybrid." Simon said habang nakatingin sa amin.

Lumapit naman sa kaniya si Ash.

"You know what? Shut up and run for your life." Simon did what exactly Ash said. I smirked.

Weaklings.

Hundreds of hunters are lying on the ground, lifeless. Tinignan ko si Vlad at tinanguan siya ng isang beses.

Using his fire ability, he burned those body into ashes. I grabbed the girl's shirt at hinila palayo dun.

"No, Daddy!" She tried pushing me para puntahan ang daddy daw niya but I am obviously stonger than her.

Tinaasan ako ng kilay ni Victoria nang makalapit na ako sa kanila but hindi ko siya pinansin.

"Who is that?" Tinuro ni Zurie ang babaeng hawak hawak ko.

"One of the hunter's daughter." I pushed the crying lady towards the vampires. Ash catched her when she tripped dahil sa pag tulak ko.

"Easy ka lang." Tumatawang sabi sa akin
ni Ash habang naka ngising naka tingin sa batang hawak hawak niya na mukhang natatakot sa amin.

"Whatever."

......

"Nasan si Ice?" Ash, Zurie, and Sid looked at me nang pumasok nalang ako basta basta sa office ng prime vampires.

"I haven't seen him since last week. Bakit?" Ashton Fang is looking at me with curiosity.

"Shit."

Tumakbo ako using my vampire speed papunta sa room ni Laurie. I opened the door and tumambad sa akin ang creepy niya na kwarto dito sa castle.

The style of her room looks so old. Her only light source is the candle chandelier. The style of her bed, walls, and floor looks so ancient.

But anyways, papasok na sana ako sa kwarto niya but may isang invisible shield ang naka harang sa pintuan niya.

Witches and their annoying witchcrafts.

"Bakit ka andito?" Laurie suddenly appeared sa harap ko.

"Invite me in." Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay but she invited me.

"Come in."

So naka pasok ako sa kwarto niya. This is not my first time na makapunta sa kwarto ng isang witch but Laurie's room is different.

She is one of the strongest witch so that is given.

"Can you track Ice's location." She sat down sa kama niya habang naka tingin sa akin.

"Why would I do that?" Lumapit ako sa kaniya st tinaasan siya ng kilay.

"Because Ice and Hera the human are missing... or maybe umalis sila? Who knows?" Tinignan niya lang ako and then tumayo at pumunta sa book shelf niya.

Kumuha siya ng isang lumang map ng city at inilapag sa kaniyang lumang table. Everything looks so old here nga, diba?

"Give me your hand." Inilahad ko ang kamay ko sa kaniya and she sliced it using a knife kaya tumulo ang dugo ko sa map.

I am just looking at her and her next move.

"Paṉi tēvatai kaṇṭupiṭikka" She started saying some sort of witch language and stuff habang naka pikit.

My blood started to move to a certain direction sa map. Oh, this trick is kinda cool.

"Paṉi tēvatai kaṇṭupiṭikka"

I looked Laurie and nakapikit parin siya habang paulit ulit na sinasabi yun.

A couple of minutes had passed and tumigil na siya. Tinignan niya ang Map na nasa harap namin at tumingin sa akin.

"Where?" I asked her.

"New Cresthill." She looks at me as if trying to stop me sa kung ano mang balak ko.

"New Cresthill." I repeated. Tinunguhan ako ni Laurie.

"Malapit yun sa Woodbourne." I gritted my teeth. Umupo si Laurie sa kamay niya habang naka tingin pa rin sa kain.

"Nasa asylums sila ng hunters, Arcadia." Hindi ako sumagot sa kaniya.

"Two choices. They are taken by the hunters or they let the hunters take them." Lumalim ang hininga ko sa sinabi niya.

"What do you think, mighty hybrid?"
