CHAPTER 2
I'm still here at the branch of the three, looking at the full moon, and I can clearly see Keira with my former parents. My mom was crying, begging the brother of Keira to search for me in the woods.
Keira is just staring at the dark side of the woods with no emotion on her face.
What he means by "half-blood" I'm still thinking about it. Is that my true identity? Do I not belong to those walls?
So many questions in my head.
Paano nga kung alam niya kung sino ang totoo kong magulang?
I need to know the answer to my many questions, I know it's dangerous outside those walls, I'm weak compared to Keira, she always defended me.
I climbed even higher up the tree to find a wide branch to lean on, and one after another, I heard the howling of dogs. Or maybe that's the monster they are referring to? I climbed even faster because the sound of it was getting closer to where I was.
Nanginginig akong nakasilip sa ibaba kung nasaan man ako ngayon na puno— malakas na kalabog ang aking dibdib, pigil hinga habang nakatanaw sa mga malalaking lobo na nasa aking ibaba
The coldness of the wind hitting my body pierced my skin to the bone, and even though it was cold, sweat was dripping down my forehead. I swallowed my saliva when the pack of big wolves suddenly turned toward me at the same time as the wind blew hard.
Lahat sila ay nakatingin kung nasaan man ako ngayon, amoy sa hangin ang kanilang ginawa habang papalapit ang hakbang
A wolf was looking earnestly wherever I was standing on the wide branch, as if he was still staring at me even though I knew he couldn't see me— umalulong ang isang lobo na tila ba ay kinakausap siya nito— isang hudyat na umalis na sila, bago umalis ay tinapunan niya ulit ako ng tingin bago tumakbo papalayo.
I trembled and sat on the wide branch, holding my chest, which was now very heaving due to nervousness— Habol hininga ang aking ginawa, basang-basa ang aking damit sa pawis.
I looked at the gate where they had torches, but they stayed inside our wall. Kiera was now staring into the darkness as my parents struggled with the gate guards.
Hindi ako dinalaw ng antok dahil sa takot at pangamba na baka ay hindi na ako sikatan ng araw.
I looked back and forth at the gate and the howling wolves not far away, even the wind made me panic— may mga nakatanaw pa rin sa tarangkahan, si Keira na hindi natitinag at nakatayo pa rin sa tapat at walang expression ang mukha, malapit na mag umaga, kailangan ko nang makaalis, kung gusto ko malaman ang mga kasagutan sa lahat ng mga katanungan ko.
Dahan-dahan akong bumaba sa puno — maingat na dapat hindi nila ako mapansin
"Kenji!" Kiera yelled at the gate, it's possible that she could see me in the darkness of the place. I hurried down and peeked from both sides, making sure there were no wolves nor vampires.
Mabilis na pagtakbo ang aking ginawa sa dulo ng gubat— walang balak na huminto kahit ay napapagod na
Impit na sigaw ang pinakawalan ko ng madapa ako, hawak-hawak ko ang aking tuhod na ngayon ay dumudugo na "Shit"
I don't know why my hearing sharpened, but when I heard something approaching wherever I was, I immediately hid under the root of a big tree— dalawang pares na paa ang aking nakita, amoy sa hangin ang kanilang ginagawa.
Hindi na ako nag atubili pa at dinakot ang dumi ng kung anong hayop man 'to at pinunas sa aking sugat, kagat labi at tiniis ang amoy "I know you smelled it too," said one of his companions. "Posibleng nagkamali tayo" — I'm trying not to breathe when the vampire turns into where I am hiding.
"Let's go" One of his companions said to him, My breathing became light when they left. I slowly came out from the root of the big tree and leaned on it.
"Aiishh ang baho" pag rereklamo ko at saka tumayo
I slowly walked without direction, wherever my feet took me, walking through the dense forest and tall grass.
Hanggang sa nakalabas na ako sa mga nagtataasang mga damo.
Isang mataas na pader ang bumungad sa akin na tila ba ay hindi mo pa matanaw ang pinaka itaas nito.
Maybe this isn't the wall I came from, is it? I asked myself as I looked up at the wall.
Nagkalad ako papalapit sa pader at hinawakan ito— isang malakas na boltahe ang dumaloy sa aking kamay "Shit" biglang bawi ko sa aking kamay at lumayo.
I was looking for where the gate was, walking slowly along the edge of the wall, and hungry.
I arrived at the big gate, which was rusted as if it hadn't been opened for decades.
"BloodyVille" basa ko sa nakasulat sa itaas ng gate, na tila ba ay malapit nang matanggal sa kalumaan nito, On the side of the gate, there were handprints of blood and blood spatter on the wall.
I tried to push it with all my strength, but the gate didn't move even a little bit. I tried to push it several times, but there was no movement at all.
I touched the side of the gate and felt letters that seemed to be carved, so I immediately removed the small weeds that were growing.
`Una gutta sanguinis ad aperiendum iudicium est in sanguine tuo an dignus es intrareʼ
(One drop of blood to open— the judgment is in your blood whether you are worthy to enter)
Hindi ko maintindihan kung anong nakasulat
I suddenly put my hand in the hole on the side where the writing was, and I screamed loudly when a sharp object pierced my hand. It was so painful that I couldn't help but scream.
Isang matinis na tunog na nagmumula sa malaking tarangkahan ang aking narinig bago ako lamunin ng dilim.
