"What the hell Zannah!"

"Just concentrate!"

"Ouch!"

"Ouch? Seriously, Mallory! Stop acting like a lady! Concentrate!"

"Then stop throwing me pebbles!"

"Ba't 'di ka kasi umilag?"

"Ba't mo ba kasi ako binabato?"

"Ugh! Vampires are known for not just having sharp fangs and bloody eyes but agile too! Kilala sila sa pagiging alisto at maliksi! Ba't ikaw hindi?!"

Hmmm, so that's what she's trying to educe from me? She wakes me up so fuckin' early, for this kind of stuff.

And we're at the mid forest, with her throwing me either pebbles or branches of trees, because she wanna see that agility thing on me?

"Stop it Zannah!"

"Mallory!" Balik sigaw nito ‘tsaka nagpatuloy sa pambabato.

Everytime I tried to escape her, she'll appear right on my way. Na para bang kabuti, who keep on appearing on places she desired to.

"Shit! Zannah! Not that!"

She's now holding a large trunk of tree, on her right hand, effortlessly. "Ayaw mong umilag eh! This time, siguradong iilag ka na!" She said, grinning.

"That's way too heavy!"

"Heavy? Kita mo ngang ni 'di man lang ako nabibigatan! Tsaka 'di ko naman pinapasalo ah! Iilagan mo lang!"

"You're crazy! Ayoko na!"

I then started walking away, but next thing I knew, I quickly turned left and even kicked the trunk in a presto move that made it flew somewhere, far.

"Oh My God! See that! OMG! Mallory! You made it!"

Rude woman rejoice!

Napangiwi nalang ako ‘tsaka nagpatuloy sa paglalakad, palayo sa kaniya. Sumunod naman ito, blabbering.

"Lumalabas ang pagiging maliksi mo, if you sense danger. Kagaya kanina, ibinato ko sayo 'yung trunk, nang hindi mo nakikita. At dahil na sense mong you're in danger, kusang kumilos ang katawan mo in defense."

"A defense mechanism…" She uttered, surely amuse.

"Lahat naman may defense mechanism!" Saad ko rito, trying to ruin her moment.

"Yeah! Of course I know that! But in your case, it's different! 'Cause you are a Vampire!!!!" She exclaimed the last word. Making the birds fly out of there nest deprived of silence and peace.

Para siyang hindi dilag kung makasigaw. Tsk!

Well, she's right when she said that Vampires are known not just by having sharp fangs and bloodshot eyes. They are also known for being vigilant and having sublime agility.

Patuloy lang ako sa paglalakad when rude woman tripped me with her left foot, to where I almost lost my balance.

When I looked at where she is, she's gone.

"Mallory!"

There she is, she's now ahead of me, for about 1 kilometer. "Chase me!" She added.

Is she kidding me? May magpapahabol bang ganiyan kalayo.

"Come on! Vampires are like cheetahs! They're deadly fast!"

"Did you just compare me into a Cheetah?"

She just rolled her eyes. Oh! Very good eyesight!

Hindi ko siya pinansin at patuloy lang sa paglalakad.

"Mallory!!!"

Still not answering, Sweetheart!

And when she realizes that I won't bite her bait. She appeared right in front of me, and was about to shout again. When I snatched her right hands not letting her go and there I started running.

Faster than what I expected from myself.

"Whoahhhhh!!!"

My forehead creased when I heard her astound voice. She’s supposed to feel annoyed and irritated.

But look! She's damnly enjoying what we're doing.

At sa huli, I was the one who get annoyed. I was annoyed by my own doing!

We passed each trees vaguely, but what's ahead is vivid.

We're running, chasing something, that doesn’t wanna be caught.

And there I stop, as I gaze at her. She's catching her breath, but still manages to laugh, as she looks back at me. And said...

"That was awesomely breath-taking!"

That's it...

We're running together, chasing each moments, that I refused and don't wanna be caught.

For I, was already holding the moment that I'm looking for.

I caught the utmost moment, just by holding her hand.
