WHO IS DRIGO?

"ARE YOU telling me the right news, Drigo?" Sebastian said to an unknown man. The unknown man's news caught Sebastian's interest. Amado held his breath, trying to hide from his father. He knows that her father's sensitivity was extraordinary. Good thing, wolves were all over the place. It seems he didn't recognized his scent.

Amado's father didn't have any idea that he came to the Philippines a few days ago. He's not seeing. It is one way of showing his revolt to his father. Whatever he said or explain, his father wouldn't listen. That was exactly what happened the last time they talked before he send him to America.

"Yes, My Lord. I heard they transferred her into different caves. They are hiding the Black Saint very well. They called her Black Saint because, for them, she's their salvation. What are you planning to do now?" asked by mysterious man.

"But a vampire who can bear a child? That's ridiculous!" his father answered angrily and hit the old table. His father couldn't believe the news. He desperately touch his face and shook in disbelief. "That's impossible because…" he whispered and thought everything thoroughly.

The mysterious man was calm and stood still. "They spread the news to the entire vampire clan. They wanted to protect the Black Saint that much."

Sebastian cursed. Even the way his father cursed changed. He fluently speaks in Filipino. He easily learned the language in the Philippines. Just like his father, Amado didn't have a hard time learning the language. He inherited his father's ability fast adaptability, extraordinary wit and sharpness of memory.

Amado's mother was a Filipina and his father was a hundred percent Spanish. His mother used to talk Amado in the Filipino language. His father also learned that way. It was a great start for both of them in learning the language.

"We need to get and kill that woman. Surely, they have no chance of spreading their race." Sebastian whispered. His voice was full of angst. He stared at the table. His hands were on the table.

Amado knew that his father was thinking. That was his habit every time he plans for a strategy. Sebastian remain that way for a couple of minutes until he speaks again. "Where is she now?"

"I heard she's in Mt. Sungay. It seems they are heading in Mt. Gonzales. You need to get that woman. If you do not kill her, even you get rid of her race, she can still bear another vampire without biting someone to make them alike."

"Silence!" Sebatian shouted. He angrily grabbed his collar and lifted him. Amado didn't know if the man was scared. He was still calm. But he didn't dare make a move to get away from his father. "I will not let that happen because right from this very minute, I will send wolves to hunt her and kill her. I will see to it she will die!"

The mysterious man didn't utter any single word until his father gave him gold. Amado shake his head in disappointment. Sebastian was very cunning. He has a new strategy. He's paying for information now.

When the man turned around, Amado saw his face. He was a vampire. Amado was so shocked to say the least. Vampires are vanishing and this man still betrayed his clan? What the hell was that?

The mysterious man stopped when he reached the space where Amado was hiding. Amado hid even more. His heart beats wildly and the man glanced at him.

Amado swallowed hard. He knew this man felt his presence. The man didn't make any move. He just grinned at him and kiss his gold. Amado clenched his teeth in anger. The man was proud of his betrayals. He has the guts. And in just blinked of an eye, the man disappeared.

Amado sighed and calm himself. The moment he thought about the mysterious man, he clenched his teeth again. He will remember that vampire. Though he possessed a pale complexion just like other vampires. His built was thin. It seems he couldn't even beat a single warrior. Amado would never forget him. He would never forget that traitor.

Amado looked at his father. Sebastian was talking to Esmundo. Amado made a promise to himself. He will still do his plans according to what he thought was right. He wanted his father to see his reasons. He wanted his father to realize what they will lose if he won't listen to him. Amado knew so much and he will use that to catch his father's attention.

Amado headed out without anyone noticing him.
