Midnights Blood Series: The Bridge Between Us

Chapter 5

Today in the year 1988, two Seventh Grade Student photo of Juan Academy Iloilo but with a decade age gap, the new photo was only taken a few months ago and the old photo was taken Fifteen Years ago in the year 1973, but with different students however there are four students who are in both pictures that particularly remain the same through out the years that has passed until today.

"Is this for real?" Paoi ask to David.

"The photo has a date written on it, so it's real." David replied.

"Maybe its their parents?"

"Really? What kind of people that becomes a parent at a underage stage of their life?" David ask sarcastically.

"So you mean like, Iza, Ella, Vara, and Leo are immortals?"

"No, Aswang's are not immortals, they are just like humans that can get sick and die but they age much slower than us and has different taste of nourishment, like a mouse and cat, we are the mouse and they are the cat."

"So you mean they ate humans to replenish their hunger?"

"Absolutely."

"So why do they ate humans, can't they just eat ordinary meal like us humans?"

"Nobody knows the answer but we do know that human food is poison to them that's why they preferred to eat raw meat. That's why we don't see them drink or eat from our food."

"Actually I and Iza ate some meal from the canteen and she finish it all."

David looks to Paoi seriously and disbelief. "Did she went to the bathroom after she ate?" Paoi remain silent to what David said.

"The Aswang's pretends that they are eating some of the human sustenance but they spit it out while no one is watching and if the meal remain their body they will get sick."

"If that's the case have you seen as Aswang already?"

"I've seen their Human Form but not their Aswang Form."

"But you said that Aswang are like monsters so are they more stronger and horrible than a human?"

"Their physical Strength and abilities are far superior to humans that's why Babaylan's create Talisman which we call Agimat. Wearing one will grant you a power to match an Aswang." David said that made Paoi enlighten.

"If your saying that a Babaylan's can create Agimat's which is like sorcery?"

"Babaylan's are Sorcerer's, all the stories you heard about Babaylan's are true."

"If that's the case you can also make any kinds of Potions?"

"I only learn basic magics so my mind control potions aren't that really strong and permanent?"

"But can you still make one?"

"I already have one." David said as he place a pot of flower while his stem is soak to the vial of oil.

"This flower called Gumamela and the bottle is the mind control potion, actually this spell has still one ingredient missing."

"And what is that?"

"The blood of the user and for example one drop of your blood on its soil and as soon it absorb it, this mind control potion won't affect you but who ever smell this potion will obey your command?" Paoi smiles wickedly.

"So, David, can I have it?" Paoi ask as soon as he touch it David pulls the plant away.

"This potion is dark magic it can't be use to anyone and what are you going to use it for?" David replied irritated.
