Making Past Perfect A Strategy of Deception and a Surprise Wedding
"What do you propose?" the captain asked Alice."Instead of fighting them head-on, why don't we use sneak attacks? That way, they won't be able to contact their comrades for backup," Alice replied hurriedly."You mean, we’re going to ambush them?" The captain considered the strategy Alice was suggesting."Yes, but we don’t need to use rifles or guns. They’ll just attract too much attention," Alice explained."What?! Are we supposed to use machetes or our bare hands? We’ll be dead for sure!" the captain exclaimed."No. We can wait in the cave and ambush them. Instead of using guns, we’ll use poisoned arrows," Alice said, glancing around at the others."Poisoned arrows?" The captain tapped his chin thoughtfully."I saw some thorn apples and rosary peas in the woods earlier. If they drink the poison or inhale the smoke from burning thorn apples, they’ll hallucinate or even go mad. As for the rosary peas, if we dip the tips of the arrows into the seeds, the poison will kill them. But we ne

“You may now kiss the bride,” the mayor concluded the ceremony.“Congratulations!” Alice exclaimed, hugging the teary-eyed Odette.Everyone gathered around the newlyweds, offering their best wishes and applause. The captain, standing proudly as the godfather, smiled with joy. “Please bring all the food to the table,” he instructed one of the ladies nearby.The guests sat down and began their meal. It was a simple spread, not extravagant, as it was initially meant to be a quick meal after a meeting. Despite this, Fernando and Odette felt immense gratitude. They were filled with happiness now that they were married.“By the way, Odette,” Tomas said, turning to his daughter-in-law, “you’ll need to pack your things from Ramon’s house. You’ll be living with Fernando from now on.”“Oh, I don’t have much,” Odette replied. “Just a few clothes and nothing else.”Alice hadn’t anticipated the change, realizing that she and Johnson would now be left alone in the room. However, with the war looming

“Let’s remove all the evidence that they were attacked!” the captain barked, his voice sharp and commanding, like a soldier addressing his troops. He turned to Alice and Johnson and asked them to head to the underground tunnel, check it out, and give him an update.“Do you still remember where it is?” he asked Johnson.Johnson, who had gone to the tunnel entrance several times to help transport materials and food for the evacuation, nodded. “I remember it clearly, Captain.”They all exited the cave, Alice and Johnson turning toward the hiding place, while the others headed to the scene littered with bodies. As Alice walked out of sight, Pedro watched her with longing.“How long until we get there? I hope Odette and the others are doing okay,” Alice asked Johnson after a few minutes of walking. The forest was growing denser and darker.“If we walk fast, we’ll be there in about ten more minutes,” Johnson said. He took her hand, encouraging her to move faster.“My feet and legs hurt. Can

"Ah, just as I imagined—pink nipples," the leader said in his native language. He stood up slowly, circling Alice, etching every curve of her naked body into his memory. Aroused, he stepped closer, stooping to lick one of her nipples.He looked at her face but saw no emotion, which only heightened his excitement. He could sense her trying to hide her fear, but it was there, palpable. He sat back down in front of her, continuing to pleasure himself. Then, without warning, he licked her womanhood. Alice tensed, instinctively stepping back, but he held her in place by gripping her butt.“If you move, I’ll torture your friends,” he threatened, his voice low and menacing.Alice shut her eyes, overwhelmed by the fear of what could happen to Johnson and the others. She remained still, letting him violate her. He masturbated, sitting in front of her, while she stood, paralyzed with dread. His knees pushed her legs apart, giving him better access. He was about to go further, preparing to penetr

The camp in Manila was vast, with several structures designated for both prisoners and soldiers, organized by rank. Alice suspected this was the main camp, and to her relief, she was placed in a cell with Johnson, Pedro, Isagani, and the two other men from Laguna Province."Why did you put them all together in one cell?" Captain Miyoshi, who had traveled with them in the vehicle, demanded from a nearby soldier."It’s the general’s order, Captain Miyoshi, sir!" the soldier responded promptly.The captain glanced at Alice, smirking before heading in the direction of the general's office to make his report.After untying the prisoners, the soldier locked the cell door and left without a word.Alice immediately rushed to Isagani, hugging him in concern. "Oh my gosh, how are you feeling now?" she asked, her voice full of worry."Ouch!" Isagani winced as Alice touched him. He lifted his shirt, revealing deep cuts from the lashes. "It’s a good thing the assistant commander applied some ointme

At the crack of dawn, Japanese soldiers barged into the prisoners' quarters, waking Alice and her companions. They quickly tied them up and forced them into vehicles waiting in front of the camp. As they were ushered outside, Alice saw the woman who had been abused by the captain during their trip to Manila.Ken and the captain would not be traveling with the prisoners this time. Only low-ranked Japanese soldiers accompanied them. There were two trucks for the prisoners and three military trucks with soldiers. The abused woman sat next to Alice, looking pitiful and lost."Hi, my name is Alice. What's your name?" Alice asked gently."My name is Isabela," the woman replied, avoiding Alice's eyes, clearly feeling ashamed and dirty."Can we be friends?" Alice asked kindly.Isabela nodded shyly, but after a few moments of conversation, she grew more comfortable with Alice."Are you from around here?" Alice asked."I lived in the province of Taguig, but I was captured by these soldiers while

"I'm thirsty..." Isabela panted."We need to keep moving," Pedro urged her.Alice glanced in the direction they had come from and spotted a few men approaching."Quick, let's hide. Someone's coming!" she said urgently to her two companions.Isabela and Pedro quickly hid behind a tree while Alice crouched behind a large rock in front of her.‘The Japanese soldiers—they’re back,’ Alice and Pedro exchanged glances, communicating silently with hand gestures.Pedro pointed upward, signaling Alice to climb the tree beside the rock. He had already helped Isabela climb up and was preparing to follow her."Quick! Find the others before it gets dark!" Alice heard the familiar voice of the cruel Japanese captain.She saw that they had captured two of the prisoners who had escaped during the ambush. Their hands were tied behind their backs. She looked over at Pedro and Isabela, but they were already hidden in the tree.Just as Alice was about to climb up, she heard Ken’s voice. "Go over there. I s

After the soldiers left, Alice rushed to the tree where Ken had left the food and water. Pedro and Isabela quickly followed. When they saw the flask and the meat, their stomachs began to growl."Let’s eat first before we continue our journey," Alice suggested."No need to rush. I’m somewhat familiar with this area," Isabela said."Where are we now?" Pedro asked."We’re at the boundary of Taguig. In about an hour, we’ll reach my best friend’s house," Isabela explained, talking with her mouth full."That’s great, you’ll get to see your best friend soon." Alice felt envious. She wondered when she’d see Odette and Johnson again."We need to walk quickly. There are snakes in this part of the forest. We must be careful," Isabela warned them.They followed Isabela, and after walking for more than an hour, they saw the outline of a large house. Its design was distinctly Spanish, resembling a mansion. They approached it quietly."This is the backyard of my best friend’s home," Isabela said exci

Making Past Perfect The Unseen Thread
Things would have been different if Alice had never time-traveled to the past.She knew that. Felt it in her bones.If she hadn’t gone back, Leonora would be on the brink of death by now—frail, isolated in the Philippines, her healing powers still locked away by Corazon’s curse.She would have never met her son. Never found the closure she deserved after years of torment.And Pedro… Pedro would have died alone in his apartment in California, the walls silent, no goodbye to his father, no final hugs from his siblings. Just emptiness.Alice thought about it often, late at night, when the world outside was quiet and her mind wouldn't let her rest.She had saved them. In a way. But the past was still unraveling in places she couldn’t reach.The only problem was, back in that stitched-together past she left behind, Leonora’s son still hadn’t returned. No letters. No word. Just silence, stretching for years like a wound that refused to heal.And Alice, she realized, knew almost nothing about
Making Past Perfect Before They Were Grandfathers
When they arrived in California in the early 1960s, they didn’t just cross an ocean, they crossed into an entirely new version of themselves. The paperwork was processed slowly, over weeks, and interviews and translations and signatures that Ramon didn’t understand but trusted Simon to guide.On one particular form, Ramon was asked his family name again. The immigration officer, tired and thick-accented himself, looked up and said, “Do you want to keep the old spelling? We can Anglicize it.”Ramon blinked. “Anglicize?”“Make it easier for Americans to pronounce,” the officer said, already halfway through typing.Simon looked at his father. “We can change it, if you want.”Ramon glanced at Marisa, at his sons, at Leonora who nodded once. A future was waiting, and it needed a name.“Taylor,” Ramon said. “We’ll be the Taylor family now.”The officer nodded and finished typing.And just like that, it was done.Pedro, legally became Peter Taylor.The name felt strange at first, like a suit
Making Past Perfect Letters Across Time
In the days after the wedding, after the time slip and the letter from Tomas, Alice finally began to breathe again.For the first time in years, the world felt like it was shifting under her feet, not because she was time-traveling but because she was finally grounded.And somehow, as all the loose ends of their wild, overlapping journeys began to settle, her mind and heart came full circle, back to Johnson.They had known each other since childhood. They were both stubborn, fiercely competitive, and raised on discipline and quick reflexes.They trained martial arts side by side, trained under the same instructors, and earned their belts on the same mats. As teenagers, they sparred in tournaments and sometimes walked home with matching bruises and matching trophies.They had always been close, even before magic and time travel turned Alice’s world into something only he could understand. Johnson has loved her since their childhood when everyone else thought Alice was weird and anti-s
Making Past Perfect Back Where She Belongs
The sound of laughter faded like a dream.For a moment, everything was light... Leonora’s arms wrapped around her, Pedro’s promise still echoing in the night air, the scent of sampaguita filling her lungs. The glow of lanterns, the feel of bare earth beneath her heels, it was all there.And then, in the blink of an eye, it was gone.The lanterns became Edison bulbs. The laughter turned to modern chatter. The floral scent gave way to the sharp tang of city air and grilled skewers.Alice opened her eyes and blinked.She was back in Pasadena.Back in 2024.And... she was sitting on the same chair, beneath the same string of lights at Fernando and Odette’s wedding reception. Only seconds had passed for the people around her.Her champagne glass still sat on the table, full. Her plate of untouched food was still warm.The music continued playing, and no one seemed to have noticed her absence.No one except Johnson.He had turned just in time to see her blink strangely, her eyes suddenly gl
Making Past Perfect A Heart That Waits
The church bells were still echoing faintly through the trees as guests made their way from the small church in Tipas to the reception at Ramon's house. The modest home had been transformed into a wedding wonderland: the entire front yard covered with strings of capiz lanterns, white curtains billowing gently in the afternoon breeze, and long tables lined with woven banig runners, fresh flowers, and candleholders fashioned from hollowed coconut shells.Children dashed under the tables, roosters crowed from behind the bamboo fence, and neighbors arrived bearing food wrapped in banana leaves, bowls of ice, and stories to share.A bamboo arch wrapped with palm fronds and sampaguita marked the entrance. The smell of roasting pork, fresh lumpia, and sweet coconut drifted in the air like a call to gather.Alice stood off to the side for a moment, taking it all in. Time travel had never felt quite this… alive.“I forgot how vivid it all was,” she whispered to herself, hands clasped tightly i
Making Past Perfect Happily Married
Days passed quietly in Johnson and Alice’s lives but not in the household of the Sanchez family.Odette sat on the wooden bench just outside her parents’ house, twisting the edge of her skirt with trembling fingers. Fernando stood beside her, tall, tense, eyes darting between her and the half-opened door where angry voices spilled out.“I still can’t believe this,” her mother was saying, for what felt like the hundredth time. “You’re pregnant? And he’s a foreigner?”Odette winced.“He’s not just some foreigner, Mom,” she said loudly, trying to stay composed. “I love him.”“You barely know him,” her father thundered from inside. “And you expect us to just smile and clap while you get married to someone who can’t even tell where he came from?”Odette squeezed Fernando’s hand. “Just let me talk to them.”After a few more minutes of raised voices and family tension, her parents finally came outside—her mother pursing her lips tightly, her father eyeing Fernando like he was the cause of ev
Making Past Perfect Alice's Dreams
2024In the stillness of the night, Alice twisted under her sheets, a faint crease of worry etched between her brows. Her breath was uneven, caught somewhere between sleep and panic. The dream had returned—but this time, it was more vivid than ever.She was not in her room anymore. She was standing in a dimly lit alley that reeked of urine and old sweat. The air was heavy. Thick. The kind that clung to your skin and didn’t let go.And there was Leonora.Beautiful. Broken.She stood near the edge of the alley, barefoot, bruised, and trembling in a thin, torn dress. Her hair, once jet black and glossy, was now matted and dulled by grime and blood. Her eyes—those eyes Alice knew so well—were hollow. But they flickered, faintly, with something deep underneath: rage, shame, fear, and a sliver of hope that refused to die.Then Alice saw her.Corazon.Still alive.Still poisonous.She stood a few meters away, counting thick wads of pesos with one hand and holding a small ledger with the othe
Making Past Perfect The Suitor From Clark
Simon stood on the steps of the barracks, gripping the edge of the railing like it might steady his nerves. The sun was just breaking over the Clark Airfield compound, casting long shadows across the jeep parked near the mess hall. Nathan, wiping grease from his hands after an early inspection run, looked up with a furrowed brow.“You okay?” he asked. “You look like you just got drafted again.”Simon scratched the back of his head. “I need a favor.”Nathan narrowed his eyes. “Let me guess. It involves a girl.”Simon laughed nervously. “Yeah. Leonora.”“Figured. What is it?”“I want to go to Tipas. Not just to visit,” Simon said, standing straighter. “I want to meet her family. Do it the right way. Ask for their blessing.”Nathan raised his eyebrows. “So you’re going full ‘suitor from the provinces’ now?”Simon grinned. “Apparently there’s a whole tradition—harana, pamanhikan, everything. I’ve been reading, practicing my Tagalog... failing at it.”Nathan crossed his arms, smirking. “Yo
Making Past Perfect Call From The North
The early morning haze still lingered over the rice paddies when Pedro found Leonora barefoot in the field behind Ramon’s house, her hands cupped around a wounded kingfisher. Dew glistened on the leaves, catching the pale gold light of sunrise. Pedro watched as she whispered something under her breath. A soft glow flickered from her palms, and within seconds, the kingfisher’s wing straightened with a crack that sounded more like relief than pain.It chirped once, flapped its wings, and took off into the sky.“You could’ve told me you were leaving before dawn,” Pedro called out.Leonora glanced back with a faint smile. “You were still asleep. And you snore like a bull carabao.”Pedro scoffed, approaching with a lazy grin. “You’ve been hanging around Ramon too long. You’re starting to sound like family.”Leonora shrugged, brushing dirt from her skirt. “Maybe I am.”Their bond had shifted over the last few months—not romantic, not quite friendship either. Something rooted deeper. He was
