Making Past Perfect Chapter 10
Miraculously, Alice woke up very early. She was sandwiched between her two friends. Odette’s feet are on top of her lower legs and Johnson’s arm is wrapped around her waist. She got up and her friends stirred so she walked quietly outside and found Ramon sitting on the wooden bench in the living room. “Good morning.” She greeted Ramon. “Good morning, Alice. If you will take a bath, you can do so after Rosa comes out of the bathroom.” He said to her. “Yes, where is the bathroom please?” she asked. “It is outside the house in the backyard, Isagani and Pedro are also outside.” He answered. She went outside and found Isagani and Pedro taking a bath by the artesian well. “Good morning guys.” She said while looking at the two young men. She noticed that they have a great physique. “Good morning!” they answered in unison. “Where is the bathroom?” Alice asked them. They pointed at a small cabin beside the house. It is just like a square box made of bamboo wood about five square meters

Johnson looked helplessly at Alice while the females were surrounding him. Alice shook her head and smiled at the males around him. “We need to continue with the training.” She told them. Alice clapped her hands to get everyone’s attention. “Let us continue everybody!” she said loudly. “Go back to your places!” Johnson jogged to Alice’s side with a relieved expression on his face. “Thank God, you saved me from being harassed.” He whispered to Alice. Everybody went back to their places including Odette and Fernando. “Make sure that your arms and hands are firm while punching your opponent!” Alice told the group. She noticed that the people who are training have strong bodies and they learn the techniques quickly so she decided to start training them on how to throw a powerful kick. “Let us add the kicking technique today, Johnson here will show you how to balance your body and keep the proper posture while kicking.” She gestured to Johnson to give a demonstration. “Let’s do some s

“Oh my, this is a beautiful place!” Alice exclaimed when they arrived at the lake located in a secluded spot. “This is like a paradise!” Odette said loudly and looked at Fernando. “I love it!” she said. Pedro and the other men ran to the lake and jumped after removing their shirts while the girls hesitantly walked to the side of the lake and tested the temperature of the water. Some of the men climbed up to reach the top of the waterfalls and jumped to the lake below. “Hmph! Show-offs!” one of the girls said while laughing at the two men who jumped from the top. Alice looked around and saw that there was a path upward going to the falls, she went to the pathway and decided to join the others in jumping but she saw a row of trees with fruits that looked so delicious. ‘I wonder what those fruits are, they looked tasteful.’ Alice said to herself and went near to the tree. This tree is the rambutan tree with a fruit that is similar to a lychee but the outside of the fruit is kind of

Johnson caught Alice before she went underneath the water. He wondered what she saw but he knew that she saw something again. He carried her in his arms as if he was just carrying nothing. The people around them looked at Alice and were shocked to find her unconscious. Pedro and Isagani came forward and helped Johnson. “What happened to her?” Pedro asked. “This is nothing, she just spent too much time under the water and she lost consciousness but she will be fine.” Johnson answered. “Are you sure she is okay?” Isagani asked. “I’m sure. You can go back there and have fun first. I will bring her home.” Johnson told the two men.” He continued carrying Alice and went in the direction of Ramon’s house. Pedro and Isagani scratched their heads and looked at each other. “I guess she is alright if he said so.” Pedro said. “I hope so.” Isagani muttered. They went back to the lake and their friends asked them a lot of questions. The two men assured the group that Alice was fine and would

There is blood everywhere and a lot of people are screaming and running. The Japanese soldiers are gaining the upper hand. “Quick, we need to hide!” Apolonia grabbed her hands and started pulling her in the direction of the woods. “No! I need to find my friends first!” Alice tried to break free but Rosa held her arms to help Apolonia in dragging her. “You help the wounded first, I will meet you in the woods.” She pointed at a few people lying on the ground but still alive. She heard gunshots and clanging of metal to metal when some of the soldiers ran out of ammunition and used their short swords to fight some of the guerillas. “Alice! Watch out!” Isagani shouted in front of her. She instinctively ducked and Isagani had the chance to stab the Japanese soldier who is about to stab her. She realized that the troop of soldiers must have discovered their hideout and Ramon and the others were caught unprepared. She grabbed the rifle of the dead Japanese beside her and started calming

As they are bantering with each other. Alice cannot help but think of the vision that she saw on the lake and the one that came to her while she was unconscious. She is also thinking about the voice that she heard mentioning something about five days. It is giving her a warning. Alice is smart enough to know that five days from now, her vision will happen. She knew that what she saw was the event that would happen if she did not do anything about it. This is not a trivial matter and it needs urgent attention so she hurriedly told her friends about it. She doesn’t care if Fernando is there since he and Odette will get married soon and she thinks that he can help in persuading Ramon and the others to quickly form a strategy that will ensure their safety. “See here Fernando, this is very important and I hope that you will not think that I am evil or weird.” Alice looked seriously at Fernando after telling the story. “Not at all, you are lucky that you have the gift.” Fernando answered

“What do you propose?” the captain asked Alice. “Instead of fighting with them head-on, why don’t we use sneak attacks? In that way, they won’t be able to contact their comrades for backup.” Alice said hurriedly. “You mean, we are going to ambush them?” the captain said thinking about a strategy that Alice was proposing. “Yes, but we do not need to use rifles or guns since it will just attract too much attention.” Alice said. “What?! We will use machetes or our bare hands, we will surely be dead.!” The captain exclaimed. “No. We can wait in the cave and ambush them. Instead of using guns, we will use poisoned arrows.” Alice looked at the others. “Poisoned arrows?” the captain is in deep thought while tapping his chin with his forefinger. “I saw some thorn apples in the woods earlier and rosary peas. If they drink it or inhale the smoke of the burning thorn apple, the effect of the thorn apple will make them hallucinate, or worse, it will make them crazy. While the rosary pea wil

“You may now kiss the bride.” The mayor ended the ceremony. “Congratulations!” Alice hugged the teary-eyed Odette. Everybody wished them the best of luck while clapping. The captain who stands as the godfather is happy as well. “Please bring all the food to the table.” He said to one of the ladies. Everybody sat at the table and started eating. It is just a simple meal with several dishes and it was supposed to be a meal after the meeting so it is not much. Fernando and Odette are still grateful for it. They are so happy now that they are married. “By the way Odette, you need to pack your things in Ramon’s house because you will be living with Fernando from now on.” Tomas told Odette. “Oh, I don’t have much, just a few clothes and nothing else.” Odette answered his father-in-law. Alice didn’t see this coming, that she and Johnson would now be alone in the room but she did not give much thought about it. With the war going on around them and the training and preparation, it would
