Chapter 36

The discussion goes on and I can't focus my mind on it, I hate it when something keep on bothering me.
After leaving, katelyn immediately chased me.
"Reign are you okay? How many times did the prof call you before but you're just an idiot."
"I am just thinking random things."
"About?"
"Shenlo."
"Huh? What about her?"
"can you promise me not to tell anyone?"
"Hmm! Promise!"
"Shenlo send me messages in random days and times. Telling me to stay away from frosts cause they are just using me, that he's just using me and its making me freak out, my brain seems to explode especially when I mention sage Her name, I don't know but there's something they're not telling me so sometimes I feel like I want to believe that woman. If you can see his reaction earlier, you'll understand where I am coming from. "
"That woman is really mysterious."
"Katelyn .."
"hmm?"
"Was there a chance then that you found out about sage?"
"And?"
"Like about his first love?"
"I don't know but before I heard dad and the king talking vaguely but I heard that there was, the king was even angry then because he said he shouldn't because sooner or later sage will find his mate that's all I didn't hear because my brothers and sisters are coming so I'm going to run away. "
"So he really has one? So which of the two? Luna? Or Shenlo?"
"Why Shenlo? For luna, it's still possible, but for shenlo?"
"But if you think about it, what she's saying is that it's as if she's already out of that situation. She sounds like she's in pain of being used for someone's own benefits. I can't understand if I should drive her away or talk to her. about it. "
"But we can't just trust that girl, she doesn't even looks real."
"I know, but being real isn't about the outside but it's the inside katelyn, sometimes whoever you think is dangerous is still harmless."
"You have a point,"
We just stopped talking when we saw Luna entering the Caf alone, she was about to approach sage but she immediately stopped and chose to go alone to the counter to order when I look at sage, she simply glanced at luna and immediately he even looked down at his food.
I suddenly lost my appetite and went straight to the counter with Luna in front of me and when she confronted me with her tray with only food traces of shock on her face.
"R-reign, hi ... hi to you k-katelyn."
"Hello Luna" katelyn greeted me as I just looked at her and ordered.
After we ordered we also went straight to our frequent seats and started eating quietly.
'I see you fell for his trap, I pity you.' -Shenlo
that"s exactly what I read in a message on my phone that I stopped eating.
"Reign? Is there a problem?"
"Nothing." I went back to eating and ignored Katelyn's occasional glance at me.
After we ate we first went to Katelyn's Library to borrow another book then we went straight to the Café.
I spend my free time doing homeworks and doing my work at the same time, it's night when I go home to Sage's house with no one.
Where is that? I quickly went inside and chineck maybe I was just mistaken but he really wasn't there, I looked at his belongings there, but where is he? I tried to contact him but his cellphone was turned off. I also asked selene and zeus but even they had no Idea. I'm fainting from lying down on the bed, thinking that he's not still here makes me become paranoid, what's going through my mind, who's with him? why isn't he there yet? he should have been here earlier. In my mind, I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep.
I woke up with a bad feeling, my throat feel so dry and thirst.
I can't feel being starve but I feel thirsty and craving for something. I know how it feels, the heat that envelops me is not ordinary. I got up quickly and when I saw the time I was surprised. It will be three in the morning.
But the room is still empty, there is no trace of Sage. He didn't go home. Where is he?
I quickly went downstairs and looked for anything to quench its thirst but nothing.
I quickly went back upstairs and put on a jacket and shoes then quickly got out, my feet carried me up a high hill. As before, I observed the beautiful and bright city lights again.
How sad this aspect of life right now that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. Our world is in its progressive process and looks like society haven't change at all.
The ambience is as peaceful as I wanted. I just folded my arms there and tried to reflect the whole of my feeling of presence. I can't sense danger. I quickly confronted him and pushed him back into a tree. He didn"t fight me he just held my arm blocking his neck.
"Who are you? Why am I still there? What do you need from me ?!" He doesn"t speak which makes me even more annoyed.
"Answer!" Again I heard nothing from him I quickly pulled his hood down and left the mask he was wearing which startled me and quickly backed away while staring at him in disbelief.
"p-panong ----
"How are you, Reign Mcdemort?"
"h-how?"
"I miss you."
"Wait don't come near me, what happened ... h-ha! This is so freaking impossible!"
"I know, but this is me now reign, I was turned into this right after you died."
I fell silent and was stunned to find him. The size of his face change. The gentle face was replaced by scary, those red eyes and fangs made him like a wild one who will hunt his prey. Hindk he's the same as before when you look at him you can see he's a very handsome person. Something I loved about him.
I can't believe I hugged him quickly, I don't know but that's what I want to do I want to hug him, there's a feeling inside me that I wanted to do this, now I know it feels like you miss someone.
This person, he's my otherhalf, he's a part of me that no one could replace at, he will stay there.
"I missed you, I missed you so much why did you introduce yourself now why not the first time I saw you?"
"Because I know I can't,"
I immediately looked into his eyes the familiar eyes. And a tear fell from my eyes.
"I-I'm sorry ... I'm sorry Caiden."
We spend our time together in that hills. Talking about the past, reminiscing every minute that we have been together secretly. Caiden is such a wonderful guy, even though he became a vampire, the things I liked about him didn't change.
I have almost forgotten my purpose in our place, I have forgotten the thirst I felt when I saw him again after a few years.
"I was worried that day when crisan dragged you. I'm sorry reign I didn't do anything."
"Its okay Caiden, it's destined to happen to me."
"I really missed you Reign, I follow you often because I want to see you often, even if that's all I can do."
"I hope this will not be the last Caiden"
"Believe me it won't be the last don't worry." I slowly dropped my head on his shoulder. I am really comfortable with him. He's the only man I am comfortable to be with. All my memories of being with him came back to me and that caused my heart to beat faster.
"Cai, if I fought you then do you think we're still together? If only I had been brave then do you think it would all end like this?"
"I want to answer that but I also don't know reign, because we can't control our destiny." I was silent for a while, he gently hugged my shoulder and caressed it. We let ourselves be drawn on the warmth of each others body. That no matter how cold the surroundings, I could no longer feel it because of his hug.
We didn't move from sitting there until the sun was now slowly rising, the moderate heat of its rays hitting our skin.
Its morning already, but it seems that the time we spent together isn't enough for me.
"Come reign, morning you're still busy."
"Will I see you again?" Worries filled my heart from the thought that I will not be able to see him again. He chuckles.
"Of course silly girl." He ruffled my hair and smiled at me, I quickly smiled at him.
"I miss your smile, I miss everything to you reign" He kissed my forehead as he caress my cheek.
"Lets go, I'll deliver you."
"u-uh I'm not going home anymore, he can't see you maybe what will he do to you, Come to my café once in a while please?"
"Of course! I know that once I followed you when you went there."
"Good, I'll go first"
"Bye for now my first true love."
"Bye for now Caiden." I smiled at him again and quickly disappeared, in a flash I was inside the sage's house, I felt as if he was there but he didn't really seem to come home, I quickly rushed in and entered.
"Morning Reign" I nodded to katelyn and sat down followed by Luna who was looking at me, she looked serious and there was no sign that anything later she also spontaneously avoided and sighed.
"Reign, have you met the new student?"
"Is there?"
"There seems to be, it's even more famous than zeus, while zeus when he entered didn't make a sound."
I would have answered one after another when my classmates came in who seemed to be trembling.
"My god! The handsome handsome niyaaaa!"
"I hope he can get here on the block!"
"What can he Course?"
"You just know it's here too?"
"Aaaah sanaaa!"
"See? That's not the effect of zeus, I'm still curious."
"Let it go, you'll recognize that too."
Recently, our prof also came. But I didn"t expect to be with him. I immediately frowned and stared at his now smiling at me.
"Good morning class! As for today I don't expected this that we will have another student in this class, May I present you the new student Mr? Please introduce yourself to everyone."
"Good morning, I'm Caiden blake," he introduced sparingly and sat down behind me. I looked at him slightly and he just winked which made me smile. Looking at katelyn my smile faded because of the expression on her face that seemed to be wondering and the sametime was surprisingly suspicious.
As before, all our attention went to the discussion, also quizzed and then just announced about our project this sem. After the dismissal, we immediately stood up when suddenly someone called my name to the surprise of everyone present.
"Can I come with you? Treat me."
"I'm sure I like that!" Katelyn replied as if what she was thinking had disappeared.
"Let's reign, he's free!"
"Katelyn?"
"Haha that's okay reign, your friend is cute."
"Ay hehe thank you"
"Tss do you believe that? Let's go."
"Tamo to basag trip."
"Quite."
"Sooo where are you from?"
"Princeton"
"Omg! Really?"
"Haha yeah."
"Wow! That's all right?"
I let them talk even though they were between the two of me. I also have nothing to say and the only thing I can do is listen to them both. We got to the caf they were so close and still laughing, tss. Otherwise, I don't think the two of them will get along.
"What do you want me to order?"
"It's up to you to choose mine, just ask katelyn." When I said that, I immediately looked for a place that would fit the three of us. I left ktelyn there excited to mention all her orders. Tss, that one is really dead hungry, you're struggling to be flushed, but you're bored as long as the free game is a shameless game.


I can barely think of a pig and not a wolf.
"Hayyy I wish there was always someone free."
"Tss."
"Oh why?"
"You're so happy."
"Abay dapat! Wait a minute! He's the one I'm telling you, isn't he? Will you meet?"
"Yes."
"How?"
"Part of my past."
"OMG! Don't tell meeee?-
"First we love each other
but we didn't have a chance to be, what's okay? "he was stunned by what I said.
"Sad? Why?"
"Because at that time I was still a coward?"
"Because of the bruhildang crisan?"
"Yes."
"Haist what is that!"
"That's what is called a reunion but it doesn't last."
"Shouldn't we have met but not destined?"
"It's just the same."
"But you know now that you have a chance, the question is do you still want him?" I couldn't answer, I just stared at him.
"OMG, don't say there's still one? We're dead already."
"Tss. Your brain really, enough with that eh you and zeus when will you express your forbidden love."
"What! Hey, stop me there."
"Why not?"
"Hindeee!"
"Aish shut up tss you're too defensive."
"You are!" I couldn't answer when Caiden came and sat down next to me.
"Wow! You really bought it all ?! Thank you!" Caiden just smiled at him and turned to me.
"Your favorite is what I just chose. It's still your favorite." I looked at what he laid down in front of me and I smiled knowingly, when I look at katelyn gaping she was again facing me as if amazed.
"OMG! Did you smile again?"
"Why? Isn't he smiling?"
"In the corner of that! Never."
"Shutup katelyn."
"It hasn't changed, it's still my favorite."
"Obviously, you often order it."
"Really? I'm glad it haven't changed after all."
I just smiled slightly and started eating as well as the two of them. We were busy eating when someone suddenly spoke behind me.
"I am always thinking if you're fine because I am busy and yet I will just see this scene?" his cold voice filled my ears, when I looked around it was Sage next to zeus who was staring hard at katelyn.
"Look who's talking sage?"
"Don't pissed me off Reign."
"If you don't say anything nice, can you just leave?" he would have even spoken with an umepal that I just annoyed more.
"Sage kets go? We have something important to talk about, please don't make a scene here." The sage quickly grabbed his hand right in front of me st pulled me out of the caf.
There's something crept at my chesy on that scene, I just clenched my fist and bent down, I lost my appetite so I quickly let go of the spoon I was holding. No one tried to talk to the two with me, they are just looking at me watching every movement I will make.
"Sorry for that, I'm leaving first. Katelyn, Cai." after I said that I hurried to leave. I want to go to a place without them, with no one to know or be able to remind me of about them. My feet carried me to the rooftop of this school. It's quiet there and seems to be a rare destination. I sat on the floor and then chose to lean against the wall while hugging my knees. I feel so tired that I want to sleep, but I know that even in my sleep I know I can't be quiet either.
"Didn't I tell you before reign? I hope you were ready when I told you someone would come back soon."
"When will you stop me."
"I am doing you a favor reign, why don't you listen to me."
"Because I don't know if I should?"
He came to the side and looked there, I could see the way his hair was waving because of the wind while he was looking away and seemed to be thinking deeply.
"Who the hell are you shenlo? Who are you really?"
He turned to me again and smiled sadly.
"Reign is coming. You will soon meet me."
Instead of looking at his face, it grabbed my attention with the silver necklace he was wearing, engraved on it with the cursive letter 'M' in italics, besides that you won't see anything else. Even before I could react he quickly disappeared. He only further confused my mind, disgusted me. Why do I feel like I"m an idiot living here. I know nothing and no one intends to let me know everything.
I didn't choose to go home to the sage's house, I chose to go home to spend the night there. Katelyn told me that she can't come home here now because she was suddenly sent home to them. I wonder why.
I shut my door as I laid on my bed. I have no desire to move or eat manlang. I want to know how to sleep.
But even before I could close my eyes, I felt a presence.
"What are you doing here?"
"Who.is.that.guy?"
"Ah caiden? What about him?" I pulled him zero then I got up, his face was dark just staring at me while leaning against the wall.
"I don't like it when he's around you."
"No one said you like it."
"Stay away from him."
"You can't get away from space, we're just even sage, Infact caiden is my first love." A pain written on his face that also immediately disappeared and was replaced by a blank expression.
"You know what I can do to him Reign. One more time, you'll visit him"
"You can't do that sage, you'll kill me first before you kill him."
"Stay.Away.From.Him mcdemort! Don't be so stubborn!"
"I really don't want to! What ?! Don't you understand the word don't want to ?! I want him, I need him more than I've ever needed you! Try to move the man I'm keeping and I'll be the one to fight you!" I complained to him that he was shocked. I noticed the twinkle in his eyes despite the anger he was showing, on his eyes I can see pain on it.
"Okay, if that's what you want." When he said that, he quickly disappeared but the tears did not escape my sight. I was suddenly startled and something seemed to block my throat and I slowly looked in the direction he was going. Did I see it right? or maybe I'm just distracted?
KINABUKASAN
I went in as if I wasn"t on my own, I also didn"t feel good and I didn"t know why.
I remained silent all time make myself busy on my deep thinking. Even as the discussion begins, my mind is still not there.
After class.
"Hey you okay?"
"Yeah," I answered sparingly and turned to katelyn as if she was looking for something so I just arranged my things first.
"You've been an idiot before, are you thinking of anything?"
"Actually a lot."
"Don't think too much reign" He said and put his arm around me then messed up my hair, I barely looked at the door and was shocked to see sage who is now looking at us without emotion, later we also lost his attention when Luna approached. He arranged for us and took its equipment then took it on his shoulders and they left together. Suddenly my chest tightened and I looked away. So is there something wrong with them Luna?
"Are you crying?"
"Of course not! ... katelyn lets go"
"Huh? Ah-oo!" I went out to them first, Cai hold my hand tightly and gently squeezed it while katelyn still seemed anxious to find something.
"I can't go to the caf can we eat somewhere else?"
"Of course, come to your café, Caiden and I are free." Katelyn's suggestion that I only agreed to.
As discussed we went straight to the café.
"Why do you suddenly not want to eat at the Caf?" Katelyn suddenly asked while Caiden was waiting for me to answer.
"Because the view is getting worse."
"Huh? How's that?"
"Silly ofcourse she'd referring to that guy named sage and his new girl right Reign?"
"Sage and Luna?"
"Yeah, I saw them a while ago, the sage picked up Luna."
"Sage is really naughty."
"Don't mind it katelyn, just eat there." They both fell silent because of my seriousness.
After eating, I left them chatting, when I came back I was surprised by Zeus who was there, I frowned and approached and tried to see something but he seemed to come here alone.
To be continued...
