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

Johnson is already waiting for Odette and Alice when they arrive at the house where the three of them would live. He already said goodbye to his parents earlier that morning so he was the first one to move into the house. Odette got out of her car first and got her suitcase from the trunk. “It is good to have a very rich friend! Now we don’t have to pay for rent!” she said loudly to Alice. “Hey, who said that you are not going to shell out money?” since I am providing the house rent-free, the two of you should take care of the food every day and the utilities and other bills, hahaha!” “No problem, we will provide you with everything else.” Alice told Johnson. She doesn’t have a credit card yet but she has a lot of money in her savings account that she can use, it is linked to a debit card. She doesn’t have plans of getting a credit card, she can always use her debit cards. Among the three friends, none of them were short on money. Although Odette’s family is big, her parents al

“Hey guys, dinner will be ready in a few minutes!” Johnson shouted from the kitchen. He is preparing the vegetable salad and buffalo wings with garlic butter sauce. He also prepared a beverage made of fresh fruits that he put in a blender. The mention of the food made Alice’s mouth water in an instant. She realized that they had not eaten anything during the time that they went shopping and buying groceries. She went out of the room and decided to help Johnson prepare dinner. She set out the plates on the table and sat on the dining chair while watching her friend cook the buffalo wings. “It smells delicious!” Odette came out of her room and headed straight into the kitchen. “What is it that you are cooking?” she asked. “It’s for me to know and for you to find out!” Johnson smirked. He knew that whatever he cooks, it will be delicious. It is like an inborn talent for him. He can easily cook from scratch and it will still taste as if you have eaten in a fine dining restaurant.
