Hunter

I'm the gift of the moon.

I can't believe it.

Asmo erased my memory! He made me believe that I was just a normal girl. He made me leave the life that I wanted.

"Alessandro?" I said as I entered the mansion.

We both met. I looked down at his hand.

"You're bleeding!" I immediately went to him and held his bleeding hand.

I grabbed him to go to the kitchen and wash his hands on the sink.

"I'm fine, Adra."

"No you are not fine Alessandro. Your hand is bleeding, what did you do?" I asked him.

"Adra, it's okay. I swear I'm okay. Where did you go? You look happier than before."

That's because I found who I am.

But I can't let him know that I know something about myself. I can't trust Asmo with this truth as well. I cannot trust anyone or they will just erase my memory once again and I don't want that freaking happen. I won't let them take my life away from me anymore.

"First, sit at the table Alessandro. Where is your first aid kit? Where did you come from and is it bleeding?" I asked him.

"I'm okay Adra. I'm happy that you are giving me attention right now." He chuckled.

"I still need to be injured, just for you to care."

"No!"

"I just… I realized that you are a blessing too me. I'm so much lucky to have you, you've been my friend ever since I lost—-" I got myself off.

" Ever since I lost the sense of hope of being who I really want to be. You helped me get here Alessandro I'm very thankful because of what you did."

"I'm glad that you think that way Adra."

I saw the first aid kit in the highest cabinet. I opened it and took the things I should use. Seeing the dagger next to Alessandro stopped me. It still has blood on it. My mind was so busy that I didn't notice that he was carrying something like that.

"I'm a hunter, Adra." He said.

"I want to be honest with you. I didn't come here just for business. I came here to hunt."

Well, that explains all the daggers inside the room at the end of the hallway.

"Come with me," he said as he held my hand.

"T-wait for your hand. We haven't treated it yet."

He didn't mind what I said to him. He held my hands tightly using his wounded hand.

As if his wound was not there. As if he is very used to wounds and pain.

I squinted my eyes as he looked serious. I've never seen him this serious. Because she is always smiling and bubbly.

We entered the room where they had a collection of daggers and whatnot.

I acted surprised so he doesn't notice that I've been here already.

"W-what is it, Alessandro?" I asked.

"Our family is hunters.",

"Starting with our most ancestors. They used all of this to hunt."

"Wow..." I said.

"Are you surprised?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Y-yeah. You're a hunter, right? That's why your body is so beautiful. But if you're a hunter, where are the things? Isn't it like you're supposed to keep something? But isn't that against the law?" I asked.

He chuckled. "I don't hunt animals, Adra."

I frowned at him.

"Huh?"

"I hunt creatures."

"You are really funny, Alessandro." I said. I followed her laughter.

"What are you hunting? Ghosts? Detectives? Shape shifters? Vampires?"

"Yeah." He said in a deep voice.

His stare sent chills down my spine.

I swallowed hard.

Fuck shit. He is not kidding at all.

"B-but nothing like that is real." I said.

"Here look at this one." He said and pointed to the single dagger framed at the top.

"That is the dagger that killed a special vampire before. I think that they're king. If I'm not mistaken as to what my grandparents used to tell me. It ended a generation of vampires but some of them thrive. And now we are hunting them again."

Silence grew between us.

"I almost killed one, just now but someone came to help him."

"W-what the hell is that! That's a lot of dedication to joking with me huh!" I said and hit his arms slightly, trying to hide how nervous I am.

Fucking shit.

He is a vampire hunter!

"You don't believe me."

"Haynako, Alessandro. It's just hunger. Wait, I'll go down to tell Manang to cook you your favorite. Maybe you're just hungry." I said, teasing him.

I quickly went down and told that to Manang. But I wasn't quiet, I wanted to leave and tell Asmo that they were in danger but how could he believe me?

How can I say that without admitting that my memory has returned?

I don't want him to take it away from me again.

But their lives are in danger...

Fuck shit.

Never mind. I want to keep them safe.

I quickly went to the forest. And since I remember how to get to their house I burst it out open. I found Silvana and Silvhari fighting, even though Silvhari was on the floor and bleeding.

Oh my...

Alessandro almost killed one.

It's Silvhari.

"Adra?" Silvana said in shock.

"What are you doing here?"

Before I could speak, Asmo appeared in front of me.

"You guys are in trouble. He is after you. To all of you, to us!" I said.

"What are you saying Adra?" Asmo said.

"Why are you here? You shouldn't be here. And what are you saying he is after us? You should go home—"

"I'm home Asmo. This is my home, and my home is in danger. I won't let you guys be with yourselves."

"W-what are you saying Adra?" said Silvana.

"Leave no, Adra. You don't know what you're talking about. And how can you help us? You are just a human—" I cut him off.

"I'm the gift of the moon. I remember everything, Asmo."

"What?!" Zabellana said.

"What did you do Asmo? Now that she remembers everything, for sure Sexira will know once she uses her power."

"No she won't use any of her power. Leave Adra."

"I dont want to!"

"Leave or else–"

"Or else what? You're going to erase my memory again? Can't you see that my life is not in your hands? I deserve to have a say and decide my own life. Don't you see that Silvhari will be in trouble? He is your brother! Can you put your brother and every vampire here before your pride?" I asked him.

"This is not about pride Alta, this is about you."

"I can handle Asmo."

"Sexira will—"

"I don't fucking care about her. I just want to help! Right now Alessandro is asleep but he will come to all of you. He doesn't know anything about me yet but it doesn't mean that I'm safe . They are vampire hunters, his bloodline is vampire hunters. They have a dagger that can kill us." I said.

"No, you won't be killed Adra. You won't come with us."

"But I want to! I will fight all the blood vampires in the world, I will fight Sexira and I will fucking fight the vampire hunters. I'll fight with you." I said, tears pooling in my eyes.

"I won't forgive you for erasing my memory Asmo."

He cupped my cheeks.

"I know. But it's the best for you."

"It's not. I was alone and sad without you."

Even though I was angry with him, I hugged him tightly. I didn't go back to Alessandro's mansion that night. I stayed and helped them plan because until now the blood vampires are still hanging around.

Zabellana and I talked and she also told me about how kind Dad was.

It turns out that she is the one who saw dad painting almost everyday in the forest. Since they're not allowed to be seen by humans, or even interact with them she really doesn't have a plan to be friends with him.

He said that he wanted to scare Dad because he couldn't be scared so he was even more happy, another thing is that Dad was very happy when he was a child. That's why Zabellana likes him and even though Zabellana knows that what he's doing is wrong, he doesn't care even if he turns up and finds out that he's a vampire.

Because like me, Dad is also crazy about vampires. He even said he was happy. That's where their deep friendship began. He taught her many things and they were always together.

When Mom returned to El Colmillos, they hardly saw each other.

There are times when Dad comes but only to paint and doesn't have time to talk as if he is avoiding him. And there was a time when they seemed to miss each other, that's why Zabellana was so happy that she sang the blood vampires' chant to Dad.

She is the one who told him about it.

The next day I went back to Alessandro's house and talked to Kila Mom. I didn't let him know that I remembered everything. I know that would cause trouble.

On that same day, we were planning to kill the blood vampires, but the vampire hunter was ahead of us. Because they were all exhausted and only Hendro, who was hiding, was left.

I'm sure Alessandro is not alone, there are other vampire hunters too.

We were about to leave the forest when Alessandro's group returned. Asmo immediately hid me.

They also hide because they can't let him know how they look because for sure he will take note of it.

And it would be easier for them to actually kill the vampires.

We can't just fight them, what they have is a poisonous dagger that can actually kill a thousand year living vampire, even if he is immortal there is a chance he will die once he was stabbed multiple times right in the heart of that dagger .

I kept looking at Alessandro who looked different. He is shirtless. Some of the blood is on his body. He is carrying his sword like it was nothing.

I frowned as I looked at him.

Fuck shit.

It was him!

It was him! The guy I saw in the woods before when I was looking for Asmodeus!

Why didn't I remember? He's that shirtless man who said that he'd only get one even in the jungle!

How did I forget about it?! Fuck shit.

So does that mean he knows me?

I'm sure he does but he never tells me anything.

I can't stay in his house anymore. It would be a freaking crazy decision.

When they left we went back to Kila Asmodeus. I was looking around the forest and decided to visit our old house.

The House was so wrong, Mom never fixed it. I stayed there for over an hour trying to use my powers. I'm getting a little bit of it, that's the only thing I can catch myself because I hit the ding ding and the other part of me falls.

On the way back I stopped when I heard a woman screaming. I immediately went to you.

I saw three guys forcing their way with her and she is fighting them, screaming and trying to get a hold of herself.

I took a deep breath.

This is the right time to use my powers. I won't let this dirty evil man hurt anyone.

There is no need to hiss at them to get their attention. My fist said hello straight away.

Because the fist was strong, the man sprang up. The eyes of his companions widened so they ran.

I helped the woman to stand up.

"Thank you. It's the boys. I'm not doing anything, I just want to go home," he said.

The girl is beautiful and based on her tight clothes you know that her body curves are nice so maybe those bisets are temp! Shameless!

"Let me help you get home."

"Thank you," he smiled.

Damn her smile. His smile makes me fall in love!

This girl is very beautiful. But who is he? Because I've been lost here for a few years I don't know who the newbies are anymore. He must have just moved. She is strangely beautiful, like an angel who is very seductive, because of her aura.

As we walked I couldn't help but stare at him. She was so young, like this woman was only twenty two. The skin is smooth and pale, it's like her blush is natural!

It's still beautiful when her black hair is curled. His nose is pointed, his eyelashes are long and curled, his lips are also plump and pouty!

I scammed her even more.

Reason for me to bump into something hard.

"Adra," I already know the voice.

"I'm sorry, Asmo. I didn't see you there—"

I looked at him but his eyes were not looking at me.

He was looking at her, mouth gaped.

Silvana behind him murmured, "Sexira."
