Japanese soldiers came barging in just at the crack of dawn. They woke up Alice and her friends tied them up quickly and ushered them to ride in a vehicle in front of the camp. They also saw the woman that the captain had abused on their way to Manila. Ken and the captain will not be traveling with the prisoners so only the low-ranked Japanese soldiers are with them. There were are total of 2 trucks holding the prisoners and 3 military trucks with soldiers in them. The abused woman sat next to Alice this time and she looked so pitiful. "Hi, my name is Alice. What is your name?" she asked the woman. "My name is Isabela." she has a hard time looking into Alice's eyes because she feels that she is very dirty. "Can we become friends?" Alice asked. Isabela nodded shyly but after talking with Alice for a while, she felt comfortable with her. "You are from this area?" Alice asked. "I lived in the province of Taguig but I was captured by these soldiers on the way to visit my grandmothe

"I'm thirsty..." Isabela is panting. "We need to keep moving." Pedro told her. Alice just looked in the direction where they came from and noticed a few men walking in their direction. "Quick, let's hide. Someone's coming." She hurriedly said to her two companions. Isabela and Pedro quickly hid behind a tree while Alice crouched on the big rock in front of her. 'The Japanese soldiers, they're back.' Pedro and Alice looked at eat other and made hand gestures to talk. Pedro pointed his index finger up asking Alice to climb the tree beside the rock. He already helped Isabela up on a tree and he is going to climb after her. "Quick! Find the others before it gets dark!" Alice can hear the familiar voice of the evil Japanese captain. She can see that they have captured 2 of the prisoners that escaped during the ambush. Their hands are tied behind their backs. She turned to look at Pedro and Isabela but they already climbed onto the tree. She was about to climb the tree when she hear

After the soldiers left. Alice rushed to the tree where Ken left the food and drinking water. Pedro and Isabela followed quickly, they saw the flask and the meat, and their stomachs started to grumble as well. "Let's eat first before we continue with our journey." Alice told them. "No need to hurry, I am slightly familiar with this place." Isabela said. "Where are we now?" Pedro asked. "We are in the boundary of Taguig, after about an hour, we will reach my best friend's place." Isabela is talking with her mouth full. "That would be great, you will see your best friend soon." Alice was envious. She wondered when she could see Odette and Johnson again. "We have to walk quickly, there are snakes in this part of the forest. We should be careful." Isabela told them. They followed Isabela and after walking for more than an hour, they could see an outline of a big house. The design is clearly Spanish but it looks like a mansion. They quietly approached the house. "We are now in the

Alice and Isabela looked at each other before looking at Pedro. Both of them are reluctant to speak. "What? You will just look at me like that?" Pedro still needs clarification. Isabela was the first one who reacts. "Well..." she hesitated, then she glanced at Alice. Alice didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She doesn't know if it's time for Pedro to know her secret, but the situation asks for it, so she does not stop Isabela. "My best friend Leonida is like a witch." she said softly. "Witch? What do you mean? She's a bad person?" Pedro asked. "No, no. Leonida is a good witch. She can let things happen if she wants to. She can use telepathy." Isabela continued. "She can let things happen? Why did she die then?" Pedro asked again, sounding confused. "One of the factors would be too much emotion. Leonida might have been so emotional at that time that she did not think clearly of what she wanted to happen." Isabela explained. Pedro slowly looked at Alice with his mouth open. "Yo

Johnson and Isagani were being kept in prison along with the new prisoners that the Japanese soldiers had captured. It has been more than a day since they last ate, and the water they are drinking is not clean at all. After the ambush, the camp is in chaos, and the soldiers are targeting all the males aged 17 to 60 in this town. They said that this town is full of guerillas, and they see them as a significant threat. So many innocent men were implicated and tortured. Even the rich people in this town were targeted. The Japanese soldiers happened to have someone wearing a bag made from woven dried leaves over his head and pointed at the men captured in this town. Once they were pointed out by this man, their fate was sealed even if they did not belong to the guerilla group. "That man is despicable." Isagani whispered. "How can he do it to his fellow countryman?" Johnson sounded confused. "That kind of person is selfish. He only thinks of himself and disregards other people's lives

As Alice stirred from her dream, she realized the voice calling out "Mama" wasn't coming from Leonora, but from somewhere else in the darkness. She sat up, her heart pounding with a mix of confusion and dread. Slowly, she turned her head, expecting to see Leonora awake and calling out to her again. But instead, she found herself facing the shadowy figure of a woman standing at the edge of the room."Mama, help me," the voice pleaded, echoing through the darkness.Alice's breath caught in her throat as she recognized the voice of Leonida. She blinked in disbelief, trying to make sense of what she was seeing. Leonida had passed away, yet here she was, standing before her, her features shrouded in darkness."L-Leonida?" Alice whispered, her voice trembling with uncertainty.Leonida stepped closer, her form flickering like a ghostly apparition. "Alice, my dear, you must help me," she said, her voice filled with urgency.Alice's mind reeled with disbelief. Was this real, or was she still t

Alice heard his thoughts while she quickly ran to the bathroom. She splashed her face with cold water thinking about what she saw in her vision. She can see what will happen but she doesn’t know when will it happen. ‘I don’t have to tell him about this. He might think I am a freak!’ she said to herself. She calmed down and went out of the bathroom with a smiling face even if her mind was in turmoil. “I’m sorry, it must be the alcohol. I suddenly felt that I needed to vomit.” She said embarrassedly knowing that she was lying through her teeth. “Well, why don’t you come here and let’s have some star-gazing, we’ll just go home later.” Johnson patted the space on the bed beside him. “Okay.” She lay on the bed beside him and stared at the galaxy through the glass roof of the room. “Get some rest first, then we will leave later.” They stared at the sky in comfortable silence while lying on the bed. Alice is always amazed at the movement of the moon, stars, and clouds. She felt that s
