The CANIS’s heart (English Version)

Lucas’s POV I decided to have a round first. I don’t have anything to buy, actually. I have just accompanied my elder sister since she asked me to. My feet took me to the vegetable section. I smiled upon seeing those round green leafy vegetables, my favorite. I took a cabbage, but suddenly someone grabbed my hand. I turned my head to take a look. “You?!” Small world. She is the one I almost ran over earlier. “Are you following me?” I asked her instead, looking at her face. “Conceited,” she murmured. “Saying something?” I teased a question even though I heard it. But instead of answering, the girl took a whole cabbage and spoke to it. “Hey Maxine, do you see anyone around?” So Maxine is her name. “I’m Lucas.” “Excuse me?” she said in a flat tone. She also looked at me badly. “You were stating your name, so I wanted you to know mine,” I uttered in amusement as I crossed my arms. I don’t know why I am talking to her, but it’s just that it’s kinda fun. “Girls’ strategy, right?”

Author’s POV LUCAS just stood for a few moments as if waiting for an opportunity. His eyes widened when he heard a rustling in the distance. A small smile appeared on the young man’s lips, which he licked as if he had a good appetite. He jumps down from the top of the tree and follows the rustling sound and smell of its prey. He even surpasses the wild animal in his extreme agility if he moves. “Bloody breakfast would be great,” Lucas whispered while running. And that widened even more when he glimpsed what would be breakfast, a BABIRUSA. Lucas suddenly disappeared and in an instant, a cry echoed through the forest. Even the other animals returned to their dens in fear as if they were aware of the attack of the monster they were afraid of. A month later.. “Okay class, I have an announcement to make,” said Miss Gillany, Maxine’s Class adviser. “Our class with my subject will be tomorrow, so don’t wonder why I’m here. Actually, Miss Macalisang is not around yet so you don’t have cla

Lucas’s POVI GENTLY patted the cheek of the girl in front of me. I didn’t intend to scare her earlier, I was just amused to see her reaction. I know I’m different, but in spite of that I still have a principle, and that principle includes not tasting human. This is also the reason why my parents were forced to migrate here in the Philippines. Lourine and I can’t stomach what others like us are doing, including my Grandfather. I’m not saying my parents don’t, but as long as they can stop it, they do it for Lourine and me.This is where we chose to live, in the remote forest where we are far from others, where we are free to do what we want.“Hey..,” I said between patting the girl’s cheek. One of her legs got caught in the vine earlier so she sank to the bottom.Jeez, why is she still not waking up?!“Miss what the hell..!”She’s still not in consciousness. I sighed desperately, looking at her face.“You left me no choice,” I murmured, slowly lowering my face onto hers.Just a little

Maxine’s POV“PARTICIPANTS, no one will leave the tent. Everyone go to bed because we have a lot of activities tomorrow,” said the voice from the megaphone, Miss Gillany.It's past seven O’clock in the evening so it’s forbidden to leave the tent. Meghan and I were both covered in blankets because of the cold. I was wearing a dress with long sleeves but I could still feel the cold biting my body.“Maxine,” Meghan said in a low voice. I have my back her. The surroundings are too quiet, only the chirping of birds and various kinds of insects can be heard.“Hmmm,” I grunted in response. I closed my eyes.“Is what Ma’am said true?” She is referring to what Miss Macalisang said earlier.I didn’t bother to look at Meghan. I stayed back. I’m sleepy.“Maybe.”I jumped in shock when she suddenly squeezed behind me.“Couldn’t there be something here, right?” She asked again in a whisper.She is too exaggerated. Didn’t she hear what Ma’am said? In Europe.“There is nothing like that here. And the

Lucas’s POVI FELL down on my bed, staring up at the ceiling of my room. I just came back from where I accompanied HER yesterday, and I felt a little bit upset that I didn’t understand why I couldn’t find anyone there. Jez, what’s wrong with me? I shouldn’t see her anymore, because I know it won’t do anything good.But d*mn, I started to get this feeling that makes me want to see HER face again.I heaved a sigh.This can’t be. I am just comforting him. That’s right.I sat up, shaking my head as I heard Lourine’s voice outside my room.“Baby brother are you in?”I stood up and headed for the door.“What do you want?” I asked Lourine when I opened it.And as usual, a smile plastered on her face as she always does every time she has a favor to ask.“Accompany me. I want to go shopping.”I knew it.“Again? You can’t even wear your other clothes. Will you buy again? Do you intend to turn your room into a boutique?”Why are women so actious? I do not understand.“Come on, baby brother. I wa
