Moon Last Descendant

Chapter 2

Hindi rin naman sigutro aakalain ng mga ka opisina na hindi niya nagawang umalis

sa loob ng bar nung nagkakagulo na.Pero isang bagay ang narealise talaga niya sa

araw na ito. She has no one to relay on but herself and that stranger.

At ang totoong kaibiga nakikilala sa oras ng kagipitan. And today is a very clear fact.

She has one. She has been alone all this time.Alam ni Ella na ang lalaking may buhat

sa kanya ay hindi ang lalaking tagapagtangol niya.

Una kahit madilim ay ramdam niyang malaking lalaki ang nasa kadilimang iyon.Ikalawa

his voice has distictive tone. Malagom at mababa. And he has this strong scent na kahit ilang metro ang layo ay amoy niya.At higit sa lahat meron siyang dating na hindi

malaman ni Ella kung ano pero napakalaki ng epekto sa kanya.

The man carrying her a while ago has a normal height maybe about 5'9 if she's not mistaken. Well ok naman ang katawan nito.But his voice is different, hindi malagom

or what she called a baritone. Nanatili pa si Ella ng ilang oras sa hospital na pinagdalhan sa kanila.

Siya lamang pala ang costumer na naiwan sa loob at tatlong lalaking Nakita raw sa loob na nakabulagta ar may mga baleng buto. Ayon pa sa nakarating sa dalaga ang tatlong lalaki ang pinaghihinalaang mga holdaper na pumasok sa loob at nagdulot ng kaguluhan.

She hates the smell of alcohol and all their stuff kaya halos tinapos lamang niya ang kanyang IV dose at nag pa discharge na agad.

Kinausap siya ng may ari ng bar at hinikayat na wag ng gumawa ng legal na action

at nangakong babayaran ang lahat ng gastos sa hospital pati ang danyos na nagawa

sa kanya. Ipinakiusap din ng mga ito na wag magpa interview upang maiwasan ang masamang imahe ng bar.

Wala naman itong problema kay Ella ayaw din naman niya ng komplikasyun.

Tinanggap na lamang ng dalaga ang settled money to end things besides naabala

din naman talaga siya.Dahil sa pangyayari feeling ni Ella palaging may mangyayari.

Traumatized ba siya hindi niya din alam. But one thing is for sure after that night,

hindi na siya normal.pagpasok ni Ella ng Kina Lunesan ay kinumusta siya ng mga kaopisina. Wala na sa mood si Ella makipag plastikan sa mga ito. Wala naman

nakaalam ng pangyayari sa kanya kanya hindi na rin niya pinagkaabalahang ikuwento baka tawagin siyang weird at pagtawanan lang siya ng mga ito.

NagpaLiwanag naman ang mga ito sa nangyari ng gabing iyon. Nagpanic daw sila at natakot kaya nagtatakbo na sila palabas ng bar akasla daw ng mga ito ay kasunod siya.pero pagdating daw sa labas ay wala siya angtangka daw ang mga itong balikan

siya pero hindi na sila pinasok kaya minabuting hintayin na lamang ang mga pulis

para masakluluhan siya.

Pekeng ngiti at walang buhay na Salamat ang isinagot ni Ella sa mga ito pero ewan ba

niya kung bakit parang Nawala na siya ng gana.Magmula ng araw na iyon ay iniwasa

na ni Ella ang makadaupang palad ang mga kasaman niya sa Bar ng gabing iyon. Mas pinipili ng dalagang abalahain ang saril isa trabaho.

"Is she pretty?" Tanong ni Drake pagpasok pa lamang ni Matt sa kanilang hideout.

Matt glared at him. They go straight to the bar. Toffee is there having a sip on his wine.

Matt expecting it. He knows they would know, but still, he can't help but feel pissed by the fact that he can't even decide for his own.

It is always like this all the time. Normal yun para sa grupo nila. Walang maaaring maitago. They cannot move and do anything they want. At ang masaklap pa nito hindi

mo sila maaaring kontrahin. Complaints have no room for them. You only need to obey.

"Is she home?" tanong ni Toffee, He knew his movements more than anyone else.

"Yes! That's why I'm here" Matt said. He's been tailing the woman for weeks now

making sure she is safe. At first, he wanted to know if she was aware of want happened that night or if he spoke to the media but then Toffee told him that the woman keeps her silent.

Matt was amused and confused. It was his firth reason of keeping an eye on her,

being his mate was the second one. Having that strong mate scent makes the

woman's life be in danger. If he can smell her so, do his clan. If they found out

where is her location, they will do all their might to kill her after he makes her

his mate.

"Did you tell them the encounter? Did you told them I'm tailing her?" Matt asked

Toffee with dismay. He knows he can count on Toffee. He has been a true brother

to him although they are not blood-related. But he doesn't trust Drake and he knows

Drake can manipulate toffee because Drake has the upper hand for being the tribe leader.

"Of course not, and I don't want you to supper again bro like before."

Toffee cannot believe him asking that question. he is been on his side all along.

"I'm sorry bro, I am just in distress." Matt taps Toffee's shoulder and ask for a shot.

He pities his friend like how he pities his own. They have been living in hell after

coming out of that cave 15 years ago. They were college friends. Toffee has been

living alone. Up until now, He can't find his mate. He is like him trapped in this curse of never-ending agony and loneliness.

He found his mate 6 years ago. And he did everything to hide it to them, but heavens weren't on his side that rainy evening. It harder for him to make and decide at that time.

He is just been awaken by the moon. His Strengths were not that enough to fight back.

And after that, his life becomes even hellish and longest. He deserved that after all.

"He knows it was his fault."

Matagal ng pakiramdam ni Ella na palaging may sumusunod sa kanya. Minsan

naman may pakiramdam siyang may nagmamasid sa kanya o nagbabantay sa

bawat kilos niya. Hanggang ngayon halos 3 buwan na ang lumipads mula ng

mangyari ang insedente sa bar ay hindi pa rin makabuo ng matinong tulog si Ella.

Kung hindi diya binabangungot ay hindi naman siya pinapatulog ng mga alaala ng

gabing iyon.

Pero ang labis na ipinagtataka ni Ella ay magkaiba ang panaginip niya sa mga alaala

na nakikita niya sa kanyaang balintanaw kapag hindiv siya makatulog.Madalass

niyang mapanaginipan ang isang magdilim at mausok na lugar, isang halimaw

at isang lalaki ang lamang ng kanyang panaginip na kung tutuusin ay parang isang bangiungungot.paulit ylit na ito lamang ang panaginip niya sa loob ng 3 buwan

minsan nga atyaw ng umidlip ng dalaga dahi lsa iniisip niya mapapanaginipan na

naman niya ang halimaw sa dilim.

Sa tuwing tulala naman siya o nagpapaantok bumabalik naman sa ala ala niya ang

eksena sa bar. Hindi nawawaglit sa imahinasyun niya ang malaking lalaking kanyang tagapagligtas at ang lalaki sa Nakita niyang papalayo sa bar na kasing katawan ng

lalaking medyo na hagip mng kanyang paningin sa gitna ng kadiliman. ang imahe

ng kanyang hero ang lamang ng kanyang isipan.

Halos hindi na maalala ng dalaga ang trauma ng gabing iyon maging ang hinanakit

sa mga kaupisina ay naglaho na pero ang imahe ng lalaking iyon ay hindi pa.Gabi

na naman, hindi na naman dalawain ng antok ang dalaga.Nakakapagod ang mag

biyahe lalo na sa oras ng uwian. Punuan ang subway so hindi ka man lang makaupo

ng komportable.

Ang inaasahan ng dalaga dahil pagod siya ay makakatulog siya ng maaga pero mali

Siya dahil lalo siyang nahirapang umidlip.Lumabas ng kanyang silid si Ella para sana

magtimpla ng coffee, pero wala na pala siyang stock.So Ella decided to go down the convience store in front of her apartment para bumili na lamang ng coffee in a cup.

Hindi malaman ni Ella kung bakit malakas ang tibok ng kanyang dibdib para siyang

biglang naexcite na hindi niya malaman. Uminit angk Nanyang pakiramdam na tila

hindi siya mapakali. Parang may puwersang humihila sa kanya.

Matt again watches Ella from a distance, He can still see Ella from the building

5 meters away from where he is. It has been 3 months since he started tailing her and making sure she is safe every night. It gives him much relief to see that she is fine. But Matt notices one thing with Her. She seems no friends and no family with her. His woman is living alone.

"Whoa! Matt where did that my woman came from all of the sudden dude"

Matt told himself and chuckle then smile. When he saw her that night knew that

drag him to her, it was her scent that what he tries to believe. But after tailing her,

watching her from a distance, and smelling all her traces from those places she

has been. She found himself drawn to her more.

He began to miss him, he can't go on with his day without seeing her. Slowly he

Became more so into her. And tonight, he realized something. He's in love with her. Not because of her scent because it is her.

Ella saw a very familiar figure, dumaan ito sa peripheral view niya. The built, the

Jacket and even the scent. Tandang tanda niya lahat ng iyon. Could it be him?

Excited na sabi ni Ella. She's been longing to see him, any encounter with him is

all she thinks about kahit pa nga maulit ang trumativ experience niya nay un okay

lang basta magkaroon lamang ng pagkakataong magtagpo ulit siula ng lalaking

gustong gusto niyang makita.

Sinundan ni Ella ang pakiramdam at umikot sa loob ng mahabang lane ng convience store.She saw a tall, same built with a black leather jacket near the counter. May pakiramdam si Ella na ito ang lalaking iyon.And to confirm her wariness, Ella walk toward

the counter and stand behind him.Halos nakadikit na si Ella sa likod ng misteryosong lalaki.

"It's him… Its him I'm sure of it. This was the man that night" Kumbinsi ni Ella sa sarili.

Matapos ng bayaran ng lalaki ang inuming binili nito ay malalaki ang hakbang na

lumabas ng convience store.Sinundan ito ni Ella.From almost just 2 meters away from him. Hindi malaman ni Ella kung bakit nakakaramdam siya nang kasabikan makita ito.

Kahit likod lang na lalaki ay masaya ang puso niya.

Mahaba ang alley na tinatahak ng lalaki.Resedencial l site ang lugar kaya halos

walang tao sa labas. Opposite ito sa apartment niya na commercial site kaya

medyo matao.Patuloy lang na nalalakad ang lalaki hanggang sa makarating

sila sa mahabang iskinita.

It was dark there pero walang pakialam si Ella. If this man was her hero, she has

nothing to worry un ang nasa isip niya. Pakiramdam ni Ella mas lalong bumibilis

ang lakad ng lalaki. 'teka alam kaya niya na sinusundan ko siya kaya pasimpleng

binibilisan maglakad.

O pagod nal ang kase talaga siya dahil ZJesus malaqyo opala ang bahay ng lalaki

eh bakit dun pa sa convience store malapit sa kanila bumili o baka naman along

the way din yun sa pinagta trabahuhan nito.

That thought made Ella anxious. Halos hindi alam ni Matt kung ano ang gagawin

whe he saw her, going inside that convenience store. He has been there for half an

hour after tailing her from work to home. Naging Gawain na ito ng binata since the incident at the bar. He about to leave sana kaso he saw the woman coming out from her apartment. Matt is not comfortable seeing her going out alone.

Matt becomes anxious and alert at the same time. He looks around and followed

her. But what makes Matt more triggered, and discomfort was the fact that he saw

his woman going inside the store in her short and hanging top.

Matt almost gasps at the sight of her. Matt felt a sudden heat inside him. He felt

the need he had been longing for for a long time. But when he saw some male customers look at her with lust, Matt clinches his teeth. Shuddered with annoyance and went

inside the shop. Matt knew that from that moment he steps into the light and went inside the store with her. He knew he messed up. He ruins everything.

All his plan, he ruins everything for her. It was his intense longing for her that leads him to

step on the hole. It is his love for her that he been able to break the rule. But it is also

his love for her that everything about him was been jeopardized.

"Oh, shit no! don't do this" Matt utters with concern. The woman he's been

Longing for months was behind him. He can smell her. "It's her". Matt feels

the turmoil burning inside him. Her mere existence is torture for him yet

this woman comes closer to him made him almost die of longing.

Before Matt could not control his desire for her Matt, decided to leave the

store immediately before somebody notice his existence. They have ways to

tailed him and they have every way to detect his reason. With being certain and

with eagerness he has to leave the place faster as he could.

Matt walks in the opposite direction quickly but the woman follows him.

She is just two meters away from him and he can clearly sense her. He can sense

her even from miles away. He is so concerned about her safety but here she is

following him with curiosity.

"Does she recognized me Did she know it was me that night?" Matt can even

hear her heartbeat and by the sound of it. The woman is full of excitement and

almost out of breath because of her walking fast. Matt walked even faster just to

tease his woman and to his disbelief, she did the same. Until where is she going to follow him.

Matt smile and giggle with the thought about his woman. Things were fine until Matt sense something.

"Danger" Matt senses danger is coming, not for him but for her. Matt walk triple

faster than he could and hide behind the wrecked car and waited there.

"Oh my God, ang layo naman ng bahay nito. Hindi na kayang maglakad ni Ella. Balak

sana niyang tawagin na lang ang lalaki kakapalan na lamang niya ang mukha niya para tanungin ito kung siya ba yung nagligtas sac kanya. Kung siya yun magpapasalamant

lang naman siya tapos babalik na siya. Gusto lamang nama niyang makita ito at

makilala na din kung pwede.

"Ang tangengot mo Ella Marie" sita nito sa sarili.Bakit nga ba kase hindi niya naisip un kanina pa.Bakit ba kase sinundan sundan mo eh pwede naman palang ganun sisi ni

Ella sa sarili.

Nagulat si Ella sa biglang pagbilis ng lakad nito at bigla na lang itong nawala sa

paningin niya. Nalibang kase siya sa pagmumuni muni kaya nalingat siya.Ano

nang gagawin niya. Napakadilim ng lugar tanging malamlam na ilaw lamang

ng poste sa di kalayuan at natapat siya sa lugar na malayo mula sa poste.

She was there in the dark Alone and scared. Matt can sense that, but he needs to confirm something that is why he intentionally leaves her and hide. But Matt keeps being alert and scan the area. His eyes burning with passion and anger.

He searches the vicinity for a possible attacks from his own kind.

Nakaramdam ng takot si Ella. Panic attack her knowing madilim ang lugar. She

Was alone nowhere. Walang katao tao sa lugar makipot ang daan at mahirap

tumakbo.Paano kung may masasamng loob na naman. Kanina she feels safe kase

nasa unahan niya lang yung hinihinala niyang hero niya pero ngayon na magisa

lang siya sa gitna ng madilim na lugar. She was stiffened by the terror and disbelief.

Then a black motorcycle suddenly appears from nowhere. Sakay nito ang tatlong

pangit na nilalang. pangit sila para kay Ella dahil mukha ito mga sanggano. Hindi na napansin ng detalye ng dalaga ang mga mukha nito dahil sa kaba at biglang silakbo

ng takot.Bumaba ang dalawang nakaangkas sa motor and come closer to her.

"Miss mukhang naliligaw ka" sabi ng lalaking garalgal ang boses. Tiningnan siya nito

mula ulo hanggang paa.

"Shit! anak ng pating" Nawala sa isip ni Ella na naka short nga lang pala siya ng maiksi

at naka hanging blouse pa. Hindi naman sa pagmamalaki pero she looks sexy and

alluring sa suot niya pero sa pagkakataong iyon ay halos murahin niya ang sarili at isinusumpa niyang hindi na magsusuot ng ganun.

Ella was shock and count talk.

"Baka kailangan mo ng ride miss pwede kitang iangkas at ihatid sa pupuntahan mo"

sabi nman ng isa na nakakahilo ang amoy. Amoy alak kase ang hininga nito. Ang kapal

pa ng mukha nitong ilapit sa mukha niya.Nabuwisit si Ella takot siya pero buwisit din

siya at the same time.

"Hindi ko kailangan ng tulong nyo.

My boyfriend is coming here to fetch me."

Matatag na sabi ni Ella.Takutan lang yan eh sa isip isip ng dalaga.

"Woah! Englisera pala to tol.Bukod pala sa mukhang masarap to pare

Sosyal pa tiba ako dito"nakakakilabot na sabi ng unang kumausap sa kanya.

"Miss wanna ride.Ihahatid kita sa langit"dagdag pa ng lalaking nakasampa

sa motorsiklo.Biglang naginit ang dugo ni Ella kahit takot na ito.

"Mga bastos kayo ah. Kapag dumating na ang boyfriend ko lagot kayo sa kanya"pagpapalakas ng loob ni Ella sa sarili eros a totooo lang nanginginig

na ang tuhod niya.

"Oh, talaga lang miss,tingan lang nating kung matutuwa siya kapag nakita

niyang tinitikman ko ang syota niya." Sabi ng lalaki sabay ngumising tila si

satanas.Kinilabutan na si Ella. Eto na yung moment na hindi na niya kaya.

Then the other man went to her back and grab her. Ella screams her fears.

His eyes were burning with passion toward her. Seeing her silhouette turn him on. For god's sake why should this woman wear that sexy top in this midst of time. She looks gorgeous and sexy while being anxious and weary. He can sense his weariness and fear.

But when a motorcycle stops in front of her. Things turn black for Matt's eyes.

This cannot be, Matt prepares himself, positioned and waited for the perfect timing.

He heard her talk back to those rude men, he even heard about her bubbling about his boyfriend coming to fetch her. He admired her quick wittiness regardless of the situation, but he knows these men won't buy it.

When the man behind her grab his woman and heard her scream to death.

Matt suddenly unleashes his anger in a beasty way. "He totally forgets who he is and what is the rules for his existence. But he will never let something bad happened to her. It was him, he's the reason she was here at this moment anyway.

Matt is willing to break more rules for her. He's willing to break every rule they have just to protect her. At this certain point in his life. Matt is turning

into a real one. He is in his crucial moment. A moment where his decision will not matter. But still, he wants to do it. Matt took a deep breath and sneered in disgust then walk out from the shed.

"Take your hand off her" utos ni Matt. He was standing near the bike. He

Was against the light so at least he can hide his face for a moment.

"Oi`dumating na ang knight in shining armor ni miss. Hoy wag mo wag ka ng

Mag english dyan. Kursunada ko tong syota mo eh kaya pasensiyahan tayo

parekoy" sabi ng maangas ng lalaking may hawak kay Ella na lalong hinigpitan

ang pagkakayapos sa dalaga. Nanlaki ang mata ni Ella ng higpitan pa lalo ng

lalaki ang yakap nito at halos amoy amoyin ang leeg niya. Naramdaman ni

Matt na mas tumindi ang takot ni dalaga.

"Just relax babe, we are going to get out from this I promise you," Matt said in

deep frustration.it will not be that simple as he thought these men are freak.

"I'm giving you 20 seconds to leave. Or else you'll regret ever exist"matatag na

sabi ni Matt. He looks at the woman in front of him trembling in fear again.

He remembers her face from that night of their first encounter.it is so frustrating for him to be at the same situation again which he couldn't decide quickly. He

wanted to grab that man holding her and rip his chest and took his heart but he couldn't do that in front of her. Not this time.

"Wow bilib din ako sa tapang ng syota mo miss, at nabubuwisit ako sa pakikialam

niya"Sabi ng isang nasa tabi ni Ella.

"Ang mabuti pa panuorin mo ang gagwin naming in 20 second at magenjoy ka ha"

pagkasabi niyon ay niyapos ng lalaki si Ella at pinaghahalikan sa leeg hanggang

pababa sa dibdib. Nagtititili si Ella at halos magwala sa kakapalag.ginamit ng dalaga

ang lahat ng lakas makawala lamang sa malahalimaw na lalaking may hawak sa kanya.
