The Book Of Five Rings

Vampires, I'd never seen one up close before. That is, until one tried to kill me. But he saved me, the Reaver Raphael. I know I'm only Human, but the more I learn of him, the more intrigued I become. He scares me, much more than I'd ever admit. My instincts scream at me to run. I know he's one of the four brothers who control the Underworld. I know he kills people without warning or trigger. I know the other Supernaturals fear him, and I know what he says goes… period. Yet, I find myself drawn to him, my fear tempered by a morbid curiosity. Being around someone as powerful as Raphael is daunting, yet every time I'm near him, I feel a swarm of butterflies in my stomach. But I'm aware of the danger. I've studied the Reavers, and I know their charm is designed to lure you in. Raphael doesn't even have to try… he exudes an effortless allure that draws me, and everyone else, to him. I know I should run, I want to run. But I'm frozen in place, and the warning signs only seem to heighten the allure. I've danced with danger for too long, but playing with fire has never felt so satisfying. That was, until I woke up in a strange place, surrounded by an unsettling array of supernatural creatures. Reality hit me like a slap in the face. And it's in this moment that I regret ever pursuing the man in the silver suit, who meets me in the diner... I've read enough love stories to know that love could be a fatal flaw, or a mans greatest strength. Could I be his? Or would our love become a fatal collision course from which neither of us would escape?

"Kapag lumalapit ang isang tao sa'yo tapos..tapos..biglang bumibilis ang tibok ng puso mo---" hindi ko na naituloy ang sunod ko pang sasabihin dahil pinutol na niya at diretso siyang sumagot. "Inlove! You're inlove with him!!" "Inlove? S-sure ka?W-walang halong biro?" nakakunot na noo na tanong ko. "Oo. Inlove ka. Bakit? Kanino mo nararamdaman 'yan?" "Ah. Eh. Nevermind." sagot ko na parang walang pakialam sa sinabi niya. Inlove. It can't be. "Kay stranger ka inlove?" "Hindi! Hindi!" agad kong sagot. Sa dinami-dami ba naman ng pangalan na sabihin niya kay stranger pa talaga. ----------------------------------- Basahin ang storya ni Mesaiyah na ikinasal sa estrangherong tagapagmana ng Yakuza.
