La Luna Sangre: the great escape, episode 46

After his encounter with the vampires and leaving Professor to fend on his own, Tristan was speechless when the beautiful lady that he kept bumping into whenever there are vampires in the vicinity stepped inside the car that he was driving. The lady repeatedly demanded him to drive the car, away from the place. But still, he kept staring at her.

"Tristan! What are you doing?" Malia said at the top of her voice, frustrations written clearly on her face as she kept looking around from inside the car. "Tristan, Let's go!"

Without words, Tristan turn his attention on his driving and accelerated the car forward and they left the Oasis Hotel. Malia sank back and was greatly relieved.

At the safe distance away from the hotel, Tristan kept looking at her while driving, suspicious and questioning. Still, he didn't say anything.

When she cannot take it anymore, she looked at him and said. "I know that kind of look, you're thinking. I'm dressed like this kaya nabastos ako."

Finally he responded, "wala akong inisip na ganon, miss."

She went silent but she was unconvinced.

"Saan kita ibababa?" Tristan asked quietly.

She turned to him, "hindi ba ako pwedeng sumama sa'yo?"

"Hindi."

"Bakit?"

"Hindi ba dapat ako ang magtanong n'yan? Bakit ka sasama sa akin? Hindi ba nabastos ka na ng isang beses? Saan kita ibababa?"

I still want to know more about you. I want to know what you are hiding. Malia looked at him while searching for any inspiration that can persuade him.

She smiled an alluring smile and leaned on him. "Why? Don't you want me to come with you?"

He looked at her without expression, looked at her eyes and looked at her lips. Then he abruptly stopped the car near the pavement.

"Miss, I want to be alone and here's your taxi fare..." Tristan was in the act of pulling out his wallet when he felt the lady resume her seat and looked at him imploringly.

"Malalaking tao ang humahabol sa'kin, hindi ko alam kung ano ang kaya nilang gawin para mahanap ako. Natatakot ako." There were real tears that shimmered on Malia's eyes as she looked at him.

For a long time, he looked at her. For a moment, they forgot about the world inside the car as their eyes connected and held. Then, Tristan turned on the car ignition.

"I am going to let you come with me because I felt pity. But let me be clear that I want to be alone." He stated coldly.

Malia hid her glee but smiled. She nodded and moved in a more comfortable position in her seat and said to him, "I won't disturb you."

They drove all night and into the morning.

Malia woke the next morning, alone and at San Isidro.

She quietly looked around and found Tristan standing in front of the tombs.

She quietly approached him and was instantly alarmed and concerned to saw him crying. She stood there for a moment, feeling him, willing him to be strong. Her heart went out to him.

After a while, Tristan recovered from his weeping. And when he turned, he saw Malia/Tony patiently standing on his side. There was surprise on his face as he saw her but he quickly hid it as well as any signs of tears or grief in his expression.

"We'll be leaving now." He said to her without any expression.

⟲ YouTopia ⟳

Gilbert Imperial commanded his vampire to look for the man whom the vampires had altercation with. The hulk vampire left the room post haste to find out more about the person who kept interfering with their plans.

He also went to Senator Paglinauan to talk about getting access to the National ID System, thereby controlling the people through social media platform Youtopia.

Senator Paglinauan struggled to find words when he learned that Supremo's true intention, he wanted to turn all humans into vampires.

Subsequently, Supremo talked to the hulk vampire regarding the man. He gathered the CCTV footage of the hotel but only got the blurred version of the surveillance camera. They couldn't clearly see the face of the young man nor the old man that helped him fought the vampires.

Supremo managed hard to contain his anger. He told his vampire that the traitor has been killed by him, there's shouldn't be lapses on their plans as it was now.

"Unless..." Hulk vampire's voice trailed off.

"Unless I killed the wrong vampire." Supremo finished the sentence for him as he looked at the hologram videos. His thoughts far removed from what his eyes were seeing.

⟲ Jake ⟳

On the other hand, Jake went back into the Oasis hotel to look for Malia. But she was nowhere to be found. He silently reprimanded himself for allowing her to act on her own and for leaving her.

The next morning, he went around Tristan's place to look for Malia's friend but even his shadows were not about. He also went to Dory's house and learned that even them were worried about Malia not returning home the night before. However, they got a text message from her that she was unable to come back because of work.

In the end, worried sick about Malia, Jake went back to Luna HQ and told the others about Malia and the fact that she's missing.

⟲ San Isidro ⟳

Malia was trying to find herself some suitable clothes when a group of young men accosted her inside the ukay store. They kept staring at her in a lewd fashion and offered her indecent proposal.

"Hindi nga, Kuya." She said to them and turned to leave. She looked at them, unimpressed when they bar her exit.

Before Malia could act on it, Tristan was there.

He briefly fought with the group since they were no match for him. Without saying anything, he caught Malia's wrist and lead her out of the place.

⟲ Supremo Den ⟳

Hulk vampire presented before the group regarding the strange human who had altercation with them. He finally had the CCTV footage regarding the plate number of their getaway car. And he also found out that the car were heading to the town of San isidro the night before in Aurora Province.

At the mention of San Isidro, Supremo's eyes widen. San Isidro. Kung saan namatay sina Mateo at Lia.

La Luna Sangre: Running from Vampires, episode 45

Everyone seemed to be enjoying the night at the Oasis Lounge. Drinks were overflowing, the soothing sound of music playing in the background provided an ambiance susceptible for conversations and mingling.

However, it did nothing to soothe Malia all throughout the night. She was on edge and more so because of the unwelcome attention she kept on receiving from a man named Serafin del Torre.

However, he presented a good camouflage on her mission to trail after Supremo. And it was successful at best because she found out that the Supremo plans to run as the President of the Philippines and was using the social media platform, Youtopia to advance his plans.

Inconsequentially, Supremo got his suit stained by the lady who wanted to have his photo taken. The wine sloshed on him as she leaned over. He stood up and gently assured the lady that it was okay amidst her apologetic essays. He then excused himself to the comfort room.

Consequently, Tristan hid himself on men's comfort room and called Piolo. He later learned that the mission was aborted on the reason that they were the real target and not Serafin Del Torro. Initially, he couldn't believe his friend.

"Piolo, pakana nyo naman ba 'yan?"

"Why would I joke about something as serious as this?" Piolo returned just as seriously.

The water ran from the faucet indicated that someone was in the comfort room, Tristan ended the call and left the toilet room. He made a pretext of washing his hand. However his attention was caught by the tall man who was washing the stain on his suit. 

"Sir, may sugat ata kayo." He commented.

The man saw what he was looking at and he smiled at him quite coldly, "don't worry. This isn't my blood. I just have a friend who liked to play with fire."

Tristan looked at the stains once more and did not say anything.

Meanwhile, Supremo's vampires were actively scanning the area for the possible signs of the vigilante group. But they found no one. After scanning the Oasis lounge, they agreed to look at the parking space inside the hotel.

⟲ Luna HQ ⟳

Baristo was livid with anger as he threw Jake to the wall.

"Jake! Are you trying to kill yourself?" He shouted at him as he advanced towards him like a wolf. His eyes glaring at him as he snaked a hand on his neck and gripped hard.

"Pwes ako na lang ang papatay sa'yo!"

Jake did not defend himself against Baristo. He looked at him with tears on his eyes, "Tito Baristo, gusto ko lang makita si Mama!"

"Jake, naiintindihan kita. Pero hindi ka pwedeng padalosdalos. Ikaw ang susunod na Punong Bantay, ikaw ang mamumuno sa amin kaya hindi ka pwedeng mamatay. Ang hinihiling ko lang ay maging responsable ka sa mga desisyon mo."

⟲ Oasis Lounge ⟳

Still trying to search for his group in vain, Tristan entered the dark parking area at the hotel and was immediately accosted by numerous vampires. He fought them but still recovering from his injuries, he was at a disadvantage. He started to run.

A vampire caught him and tackled him on the floor. Fortunately, Professor T. arrived and helped him vanquish the vampire.

Professor T. advanced on him like a tiger, he was so angry that he looked like he wanted to kill Tristan with his dagger. "What the hell are you doing?! Tayo ang target!"

Breathing hard, Tristan looked at professor with akin to desperation, "Prof. I just wanted to have them pay for what they did to my friends!"

Professor T. looked at him as if he couldn't decide on what to do about him or say anything. Then they felt a dark presence approaching. 

They turned and saw a large number of vampire walking towards them. Professor T. pushed Tristan. "Leave."

Tristan moved towards him, "tutulungan kita, Prof-"

"Umalis ka na!" Professor roared.

Unwillingly, Tristan do as the professor bid. He ran.

⟲ Oasis Lounge ⟳

Malia looked at the man before him unsmiling, she doesn't like the way he was looking at her like a china doll that he can't wait to get home. His hands kept on straying on her person, too.

Serafin Del Torro gripped Malia's hand and said suggestively, "I am going to make-"

She couldn't take it anymore and she kneed him. A chorus of gasp echoed around the room when Serafin Del Torro doubled over and almost knocked some goblet of wine arranged on the table next to them. Malia never looked back and ran.

Senator Paglinuan approached Del Torro and asked in concern, "what happened?"

"Nothing, Senator. Just another girl who wants to break my heart." He said almost jokingly.

The Senator looked at his executive secretary whom in turn looked at her assistant. Just in time, a young girl entered the room and loudly stated that she was Tony. And they were left with questions about the strange lady that posed as someone else.

⟲ Outside ⟳

Malia was running erratically for escape, she crossed the pave road in front of the hotel entrance and almost ran over my a moving car. Fortunately, the car stopped before it collided with her.

And her eyes rounded in disbelief when he saw who was the driver was. It was Tristan. 

He was also looking at her with a kind of amazed disbelief. Then, Malia's senses returned and was spurned into action. She abruptly opened the door and stepped inside the vehicle.

Tristan looked at her as if he couldn't believed at what he saw.

La Luna Sangre: The lady is a vamp, episode 44 recap

Receiving same information about the Supremo attending the event with both Serafin Del Torro and Senator Paglinauan present. Malia and Tristan set their respective plans for that night into motion. They went to the venue posing as an insider, alert and both are waiting for the right to act.

Tristan looked dapper and polish in a suit as he lurked within the vicinity, looking for possible ways to get in unnoticed.

Meanwhile, Malia and Jake arrived at the hotel. Before stepping down the vehicle, she talked seriously to Jake about him accompanying her inside.

"Jake, delikado. Maraming bampira sa loob." She stressed.

Jake recognized the wisdom in her argument and gave in reluctantly. He had no option but to let Malia go and venture on her own.

Meanwhile, Tristan arrived at the hotel lobby just before the ball room. He looked at the group of girls sitting at the lounge area and observed their gay and carefree attitude.

Then, Malia arrived using an escalator and she halted abruptly when she saw him.

Tristan? Why are you here? She asked him inside her head.

Tristan had an uncanny sensation in his senses that he couldn't named. He turned and his eyes widen when he saw Malia. Ikaw? 

For seemed like an eternity, he stared at her. Their eyes connected and held. Each with a question on their own but there was also a hint of admiration at the back of their eyes. A small flicker of happiness at that serendipitous moment in a situation as serious as life and death.

The magic broke when a girl approached Malia and assumed that she was someone she was not.

"Hey, there you are!" The girl approached her. "Tony?"

Malia transferred her gaze to the tall woman before her and answered her smile. "Umm, yes. Tony." She accepted the girl's offered hand and shook hands. The girl then lead her to the group of girls sitting at the sofa and suffered the introduction.

The big guests arrived and the girl's attention immediately switched to the newcomers. Malia saw Senator Paglinauan arriving with his entourage along with Serafin Del Torre. She hid herself on the protruded wall and observed from behind.

Then, she was surprised when Tristan was also on the same wall opposite her and their eyes clashed. Not to be distracted, she broke the eye contact and walked to stand behind the group of people waiting in line to get inside the ballroom.

Then, she was startled when Tristan appeared on her side. But she was even more surprised when Tristan put his left hands on her waist and whispered close to ther ear to avoid being overheard.

"Hindi ba ikaw yung babae na nasa jeep?" he whispered.

Malia tried not to be bothered by Tristan's closeness and focused on the busy people before them. "What do you mean?" She said as nonchalantly as she could.

"Ikaw yung babae na tinulungan ko sa sementeryo noon, hindi ba?" Tristan said again.

"Help me to get inside." He said while looking deeply in her eyes.

Malia looked at him in confusion.

"Please, I really need your help. Just help me get inside and I won't bother you anymore." He implored to her.

As always, having soft spot in her heart for Tristan, Malia capitulated. They walked at the door as a couple. The security checked them at the door. Fortunately, the security was lacking and they went in.

⟲ Supremo's Den ⟳

Veruska and Jethro was each staring into space disconsolately after learning the new prophecy. 

However, their depression was immediately turned into hope when NogNog arrived with their food and told them that he was ready to help them.

"How can I help?" He said to them.

"Tulungan mo kaming makatakas." Veruska answered.

⟲ Luna HQ ⟳

Jake returned home after dropping off Malia to the hotel. Baristo, who was hanging out with the rest of his friends called out to him.

"Jake, where were you?" He asked him. They all walked to his side and looked at his handsome perfection. "Nice suit, Jake." Baristo complimented.

"Sa labas lang, may pupuntahan lang ako." Jake answered.

Before Jake could escape, Baristo's attention was caught when Lemuel made a move towards the door.

"Lemuel, where are you going?" He called to him.

Lemuel turned to them and answered seriously, "I'm going to walked outside. Maybe, by walking around the area where I last saw the man with red highlights, I might encounter him again."

"Man with hair highlights?" Jake blurted out.

All turned to Jake.

"You know who we are searching for?" Gael interposed.

Jake gave a sketchy background to the man and Lemuel all agreed to his description. He went silent. Confused. He thought that the described man with red highlights looked like Malia's friend.

"Jake?" Baristo prompted.

"Ah, Tito Baristo. Parang namukhaan ko siya nung nagiikot ako sa paligid.  But, I'm not really sure. When I see him again, I'll tell you."

The group has to be content with his answer but Lemuel still looked at him with curious expression in his eyes. Still, he went quiet about it.

Later that night, Lemuel was still discussing and researching for possible options to locate the man in question with Baristo when Catleya walked in.

"Oh, Catleya. Where are you going?" Baristo greeted her.

"Outside," she answered smilingly. "I'll just accompany Jake."

"Hindi ba umalis?" Lemuel asked.

"Akala ko natutulog?" Baristo interjected.

Caught up in the lies, Catleya could only stare at them.

In the end, she has no option but to tell the truth.

"We are looking for vampires." She began.

⟲ Oasis Hotel ⟳

The big names in political and business arena were mingling, talking and laughing to each other at the night of gaiety. 

While Tristan observed in the background while looking for his team members.

As for Malia, she saw Supremo arrived and was almost overcome with emotion when he stood a few paces away from where she was standing.

Fortunately or unfortunately, Serafin del Torro appeared on his side and claimed her attention. 

"This is what I like in this kind of gathering. I get to meet young and beautiful ladies such as you." he said confidently.

Malia tore her gaze out of Supremo who was greeting Senator Paglinauan with the most benign expression in his face and looked at Serafin Del Torro in silence.

Serafin Del Torre looked at her up and down and said lasciviously, "nice to meet you." He said as he held out his hand.
