Making Past Perfect Witnessed by the Full Moon
Alice slowly opened her eyes, her breath shaky as she blinked in the dim light. The familiar sight of Pedro and Odette sitting on either side of her bed helped ground her, but the weight of what she had seen in her vision still hung heavily in her chest. She tried to focus on the room around her, the small space dimly lit by a kerosene lamp, but her gaze landed on Captain Juan and Ramon, standing across from her, their faces lined with curiosity and concern.Juan's brows furrowed, and Ramon stood quietly beside him, arms crossed. They weren’t pressing her for answers, not yet. They simply waited for her to gather herself, patient but anxious.Odette squeezed her hand gently. “It’s okay, Alice,” she whispered. “Tell them what you saw. They need to know.”Alice felt her cheeks flush as the intensity of everyone’s attention settled on her. She wasn’t used to this—the pressure of bearing knowledge that could change the course of their plans, the lives hanging in the balance because of wha

The morning sun filtered through the trees as people stirred from their makeshift beds. The air felt different, charged with both tension and purpose after the critical strategy meeting. The officers had dispersed into smaller groups, relaying the new plan to their teams, ensuring that everyone understood their role in the mission to rescue the prisoners from Sakura Heiei.Odette, Alice, Pedro, and Fernando had gathered near a small clearing, away from the main camp. It was rare for them to have a moment together, especially after everything that had happened. Alice leaned against a tree, exhaustion still evident in her eyes, while Odette sat cross-legged on the ground, her gaze fixed on Alice as if trying to read her thoughts.Pedro and Fernando were seated nearby, deep in conversation about the mission, but there was an undercurrent of unease between them—something more personal lingering beneath the surface.“You really look exhausted, Alice,” Odette said, her voice soft but tinged

The group had only one day left before the big plan. Everyone was busy preparing for the attack the next night—some practicing hand-to-hand combat while others meticulously conditioned their weapons, ensuring they would function perfectly when needed.Alice felt a sense of restlessness as the hours ticked away. Amid the frenzy, she decided to visit Isabela, not only to catch up but to see Leonora, who had become a source of comfort and wisdom for her in this foreign time. Pedro insisted on accompanying her, as always, ever watchful and protective.They set off together, following the hand-drawn map that Captain Juan had provided them before. It guided them through winding paths and overgrown trails, eventually leading to a modest house nestled under the canopy of tall trees. Twenty minutes later, they arrived.“Alice! Pedro!” Isabela exclaimed in surprise when she opened the door, her face lighting up with warmth. She embraced Alice tightly, the bond between them strengthened by all t

The moon hung low in the sky, its silver light casting an ethereal glow over the clearing. It was a waxing gibbous, nearly full, the night thick with anticipation for what was to come. Tomorrow, they would march on Sakura Heiei, a mission to rescue Johnson, Isagani, and the others who had been captured. Alice knew she had to be ready—her powers of vision, psychometry, and telepathy were their key to survival. But controlling them in this era had always been a struggle, and tonight was her last chance to master them before the dangerous mission.She stood in the center of the clearing, her hands trembling slightly as she focused on the energy around her. Her best friend, Odette, sat nearby, watching with an encouraging smile. They had been through so much together, time-traveling companions bound by more than just the strange twists of fate. Odette understood Alice better than anyone, and even though she didn’t have powers of her own, she knew how to guide Alice through the overwhelmin
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Making Past Perfect The Silent Escape: Infiltrating Sakura Heiei
Alice shared vital information with Captain Juan about a secret path that would allow them to infiltrate Sakura Heiei without being detected. In one of her visions, Alice had seen that the Japanese soldiers would concentrate their defenses at the main entrance of the prison camp, along with the front gates and side entrances, where they had planned an ambush for any would-be attackers.“There’s a small back door at the rear of Sakura Heiei,” Alice began, her voice steady but urgent. “The forest surrounding that part of the camp is so dense that the soldiers believe it’s impossible to navigate through. That’s where they’re wrong.”Captain Juan leaned in closer, his brow furrowed as he absorbed her words. “How many guards will be stationed there?” he asked, concern evident in his tone.“Only a small group of soldiers,” Alice replied, her eyes scanning the map laid out before them. “They won’t expect an attack from that side because they believe it’s too difficult to approach through the

Now that Johnson was safe and back in her arms, Alice felt a surge of relief wash over her. However, the pressing desire to return to the year 2023 lingered in her heart. She let Johnson rest, knowing he needed it after their harrowing experience, and ventured out to find Odette. Alice needed to discuss their potential return with her, as the urgency to leave this tumultuous era weighed heavily on her mind.She knew Isabela would look after Leonora, so that was one worry off her shoulders. As she made her way to the familiar mango tree, she spotted Odette sitting beneath it with Fernando, laughter spilling from their lips as they shared sweet fruits.“Odette, can we talk?” Alice approached, her tone serious despite the jovial atmosphere.“Sure! Let’s go over there,” Odette replied, kissing Fernando briefly before leading Alice behind the large tree near the river, away from prying ears.“I know you’re completely head over heels for your husband,” Alice began, locking eyes with Odette,

The night air was thick with anticipation as Alice prepared for her first practice session. The moon hung low in the sky, its silvery light spilling through the gaps in the trees. She had decided to practice every midnight, as Leonora advised, to harness her powers of vision, telepathy, and psychometry. Each night would be a new trial, a chance to grow stronger.“Alice, are you sure about this?” Johnson asked, concern etched on his face as they stood by the riverbank, the gentle flow of water whispering secrets in the darkness.“I have to be,” Alice replied, determination in her voice. “Nana believes in me, and so do you. I just need to push through the fear.”Odette, who was perched on a nearby rock, chimed in, “And we’re right here with you! You won’t be alone.”Alice nodded, her heart swelling with gratitude. “Thank you both. I’m ready to start.”Taking a deep breath, Alice closed her eyes, focusing on the energy within her. “I want to see. I want to feel,” she whispered, reaching

Alice awoke the next afternoon, the sun filtering through the leaves and casting dappled shadows on the ground. She stretched, the weariness of her midnight training melting away as excitement surged through her veins. Today was a new day, and she was determined to continue honing her powers.“Hey, sleepyhead!” Odette called out, her voice bright as she approached. “You missed breakfast. I saved you some fruits, though!”“Thanks, Odette,” Alice replied, a smile spreading across her face as she accepted a piece of ripe mango. “I needed the rest. Last night was intense.”Johnson joined them, a look of admiration in his eyes. “You did incredible work last night. I can’t believe how far you’ve come in just a few sessions.”“I feel stronger,” Alice admitted, her heart swelling with pride. “But I still have so much to learn.”“Let’s go over everything you practiced,” Johnson suggested, sitting down beside her. “It’ll help solidify your progress.”Alice nodded, excitement bubbling up. “I sta

Making Past Perfect The Revelation of Corazon's Dark Origins
Alice knew that to face Corazon, she needed to understand her enemy completely, even if that meant delving into the shadows of Corazon’s past. And so, as her friends remained close, Alice channeled her energy toward the spirit realm again—not just to search for Johnson and Leonora, but to uncover Corazon’s beginnings, the seed of darkness that had once blossomed within her.A Glimpse into Corazon’s PastIn the heart of a small village nestled between ancient trees and winding rivers, Corazon grew up as a child unlike any other. Long before she became a black witch, she was simply a girl with dark, curious eyes and a mind that wandered where others dared not go. While the other children played and laughed in the sunlit meadows, Corazon’s gaze lingered on the shadows that seemed to shift and breathe along the forest’s edge. She noticed what others ignored—the spaces between light and dark where strange things lurked, unseen yet undeniably real.One evening, as she watched a faint shadow
Making Past Perfect Shadows of the Spirit Realm
Alice lay awake, her mind thrumming with the image of Johnson’s ghostly form flickering before her and his haunting warning. She’s coming. The words echoed in her mind, making her feel more vulnerable and hunted than ever. Corazon was not just a shadow from her past—she was coming, and she was hungry for vengeance. But Alice wasn’t the same person Corazon had once overpowered. She had grown stronger, mastering gifts that went beyond anything she’d ever imagined.With each night, her powers sharpened further. She could feel the pulse of life in the plants outside her window, the murmur of the animals in the woods nearby, even the whispers of energy in the air. She was beginning to see that everything around her was connected, woven into an intricate web that she could touch, manipulate, and reshape. The world had become her ally, a vast and powerful force that flowed through her veins as naturally as her own blood.But as her power grew, so did her dread. The closer she got to Corazon,
Making Past Perfect Awakening Beyond Limits
In a matter of weeks, Alice had nearly perfected her skill in astral projection, slipping into the spirit realm with ease. But her triumph felt hollow; despite her dedication, she still couldn’t find any trace of Johnson or Leonora. She had poured months into honing her abilities, pushing herself beyond her limits night after night, ignoring Leonora’s advice to train gradually. The toll on her body was unmistakable, yet she persisted, consumed by the need to master her skills.One evening, Alice opened her eyes slowly, her surroundings a blur as she struggled to focus. The room was dimly lit, and as her vision cleared, she saw Pedro seated beside her bed, his face drawn with worry.“How are you feeling?” he asked softly, his gaze flickering with concern.Alice managed a weak smile, though it took almost all the energy she could muster. “I feel… drained, like everything’s been sapped out of me.” Her voice was barely a whisper, and her limbs felt heavy, as though her strength had seeped
Making Past Perfect Beyond the Veil
As Alice and Pedro stood under the whispering trees and flickering lantern light, the elements pulsed around her, each with its own rhythm, calling her to push deeper. She had trained so hard, seeking a breakthrough. Tonight, she felt closer to something—some truth lying just out of reach, a glimmer of hope. Johnson, Leonora… they had to be there, somewhere just beyond the veil of her consciousness.Pedro’s eyes followed her, worry mingled with a quiet awe. “What do you need me to do?” he asked, ready for anything.Alice looked up at him, grateful for his steady presence. “Just stay here. I… I think I need to try something new.” She bit her lip, remembering what Leonora had told her once, about the power of sending one’s spirit out beyond the body. It was a risky skill, one Leonora had called astral projection, but Alice knew she had to try. If she couldn’t find her loved ones physically, maybe she could rea
Making Past Perfect The Whispers of the Elements
Alice felt as though time had abandoned its flow, suspended in an endless haze. Since her haunting vision of Johnson and Leonora in Corazon’s mansion, silence fell over her mind's eye, as if Corazon had locked them away, hiding their presence in the shadows. That brief, final glimpse had stirred her desperation to a fever pitch, sparking a fire within her that pushed her powers to new heights.Now, her mental telepathy had reached an extraordinary peak. No longer confined to human thoughts, her mind wandered through the murmurs of animals, the whispers of trees, even the silent language of earth, wind, fire, and water. She felt each element as if it were an old friend. The animals, plants, and elements communicated with her in a language as clear as her own thoughts, weaving nature into her emotional tapestry.Yet with every new surge of strength, a faint ache gnawed at her heart—a reminder of the ones she couldn’t reach. Her bond with Johnson, her best friend and love
Making Past Perfect The Dark Price of Desire
Alice’s pulse quickened as the dark, chilling presence crept over her, a feeling she’d come to recognize all too well. It wrapped around her like a shroud, suffocating and persistent, pressing into her mind until her senses screamed with dread. She reached out instinctively, stretching her mind toward Leonora and Johnson, but their presence was faint, as if something blocked her from connecting to them fully. The sense of wrongness was so profound that it stole her breath.In the nights that followed, the visions began again, as vivid and invasive as they’d been in the past. Alice saw Corazon's mansion, its lavish halls draped in silk and gold, filled with the muted sounds of revelry and dark promises. Flickering images came to her—Leonora, now eighteen years old, isolated in an opulent room, her pretty face pale yet steady, as though prepared for what was to come. But beneath that calm façade, a steely determination glimmered, tempered by a fea
Making Past Perfect Reunion in Tipas
As soon as Alice and the others stepped outside, she felt a sudden lightness, like a weight lifting from her shoulders. The dark presence that had lingered around them for days seemed to vanish, dissipating like fog in the morning sun. She reached out with her powers, searching the vast, invisible web that connected her to Leonora and Johnson, but there was nothing. It was as if the darkness had never existed.“She’s gone,” Alice muttered in disbelief, her voice a mixture of relief and frustration. She dropped to her knees, feeling a wave of helplessness. “I can’t find them, any of them—Leonora, Johnson, Corazon... It’s like they’ve disappeared.”Pedro knelt beside her, his hand resting gently on her shoulder. “We’ll find them, Alice,” he assured her, his tone soft yet firm. “You’re not alone in this.”Alice nodded, though her heart felt heavy. She allowed Pedro to help her
Making Past Perfect Across Time’s Shadows
Alice’s vision blurred as the winds around her finally began to calm, her anguished shout echoing into the stillness. Her grief and fury had summoned a storm within her, the very elements responding to her pain, swirling around her with a force she could barely contain. Pedro, Fernando, and Odette gripped her shoulders tightly, trying to steady her. The stormy air crackled with an unearthly energy, as if the world itself were on the brink of something vast and impossible.But even as the winds died down, Alice’s heart was consumed by a single, desperate thought: I just want to know if Nana -----will be safe.The wish burned within her, fueled by an unyielding need to see a future where Leonora lived free from Corazon’s evil grasp. She felt the wish so strongly that it seemed to become a part of her, as real as the ground beneath her feet, as deep as the bond she shared with her companions."Do you feel that?" Alice asked, her voice barel
Making Past Perfect The Cure and Corazon’s Scheme
Alice’s frustration grew with every passing day, the sting of her last encounter with Corazon lingering in her mind. She had come so close to breaking Corazon’s hold over Johnson, only for the sorceress to escape, shrouding herself and Johnson within an impenetrable barrier. Desperate for answers, Alice sought out the one person she thought might understand magic’s intricate workings: Her Nana Leonora, the young girl with a natural gift for healing and an innate sense of the unseen.Leonora sat cross-legged on the floor of her her bed, her large eyes fixed on Alice with quiet understanding as she listened to her tale. Though young, Leonora had wisdom beyond her years, an intuition that Alice admired. When Alice finished describing Corazon’s spell and her failed attempt to break it, Leonora’s expression grew thoughtful.“It sounds like Corazon’s magic isn’t just dark but deeply rooted,” Leonora said softly. “Her spell is made to bind, to hold. Breaking it will take more
