Mythology

Ang nobelang ito ay pagbalik-tanaw sa taong 1884 kung saan ang Pilipinas ay nasa pamumuno pa ng kahariang Espanya. Ang kuwentong ito ay tungkol sa isang Italyano-Pilipinong mestisa na gustong ibaon sa limot ang pagiging isang bampira at ninais mamuhay ulit ng karaniwan bilang isang tao. Mula sa mga magagandang kuwento ng kanyang yumaong ina, naisipan ni Carmela Salvanza na manirhan at simulan uli ang ibig na pangkaraniwang pamumuhay sa isang bansang tinawag na Felipinas (dating pangalan ng Pilipinas noon), sa bayang ipinangalang Santa Lucia kung saan ang siyang lupang tinubuan ng kanyang ina. Lingid sa kaalaman na siya ay isang bampira, tinanggap siya ng kanyang nag iisang tiyuhin na si Don Graciano Agoncillo kung saan naman nakilala niya at naranasan ang mainit na pagtanggap nang masaya at karaniwang pamilya nito. Nakilala din ni Carmela ang isang Kastila-Pilipinong mestiso na si Eduardo Ramirez na siyang naging kanyang irog at pinakatatanging minamahal. Ngunit sa buong akala ni Carmela ay nalalasap na niya ang inaasam-asam na pamumuhay bilang tao ulit dahil sa nararanasang init ng pagtanggap ng isang pamilya at sa masaya't puno ng pagmamahal na pag-ibig , siya ay madadala sa isang malagim at nakatagong lihim ng Santa Lucia, ang mga sekreto ng mga sumpa at dugo na itinago ng maraming nagdaang taon.

Once there was a king and a queen with three lovely daughters. The youngest, Psyche, was so beautiful, so fair of face and form that she was revered throughout the land, and the people of her kingdom reached out to touch her as she passed. No suitors dared to cross her doorstep. So highly was she worshiped that Psyche was deeply lonely. Her beauty became legend, far and wide, and it was not long before words reached the ears of Venus. Tales of the young princess enraged the jealous goddess, and she made plans to dispose of her. Venus called upon her own daughter, Cupid to do her bidding. It was meant to be a quick mission except Cupid did not expect to find herself entranced by the same passion she inflicted on others. |Note: This is a lesbian retelling of the Roman Mythology, not Greek|

I could hear his heart race as he spoke, my head pressed against his chest. “And were you pleased with what you found?” I asked, giving in to the urge to find out exactly what he thought of me. “I found you to be exactly what I had hoped for, after all these years. You’re smart, funny and generally adorable. You drive me insane with your stubbornness. You have a gorgeously alluring figure and a pure, sweet face.

Darahku mendidih. Jantungku memukul tulang rusuk seperti hendak memberontak keluar. Napas naik-turun tak beraturan. Aku ingin berteriak. Ingin membanting sesuatu. Apa saja. Gelas, kursi, bahkan wajah perempuan itu kalau bisa. Tanganku bergetar hebat. Bukan karena takut. Tapi karena terlalu banyak rasa yang kutahan. Dada ini sesak. Mataku panas. Amarahku menumpuk seperti lava dalam perut gunung, siap meledak dan membakar apa pun yang ada di dekatnya. Aku benci ini semua. Benci Ayah yang munafik. Benci perempuan murahan yang sok manis itu. Dan yang paling kubenci, adalah wajahku sendiri di cermin karena masih bisa tersenyum padanya tadi. Aku benci karena harus berpura-pura. Kenapa harus aku yang menyaksikan semua kebusukan ini dari dekat? Kenapa bukan orang lain? Kenapa harus perempuan sebusuk itu yang bisa membuat Ayah lupa pada kami? Jika saat ini aku membuka mulutku lebar-lebar, aku akan meludah tepat ke wajahnya. Aku ingin mengatakan semua umpatan paling jahat yang selama ini hanya berputar di kepala. Tapi aku tahu, belum saatnya. Belum. Tapi sebentar lagi.
