Midnights Blood Series: The Bridge Between Us

Chapter 14

Before the sun rises a house is burning while Cado is walking away holding what seems to be a pot of plant and not far him a black bird watching Cado then it shriek echoing it call towards a another bird then it shrieks echoes again to another bird and so on towards the other side of the river until the shriek is heard by Leo, Vara, and Ella which they are surprise so they transform into bats and flies of towards the call of the birds, meanwhile, Iza and Paoi are sitting to a mountain cliff while Iza is laying on Paoi's lap.

"It's amazing isn't it?" Iza ask then Paoi smirks.

"I admit it's been amazing flying around, it feels like freedom to all the problems you had. Living like a Aswang sure is fun."

"True, but it always been the same everyday and night that nothing change, if your a Aswang it's always like this, away from humans live in isolation, stagnating like an eternity."

"Well it better that way rather full misery."

"Your absolutely right." Iza said then she heard a shriek of a bird that alarms her so she listen to bird shock to what she know, then Paoi ask out curiosity because of Iza's action but Iza look into Paoi stunned then minutes have passed Iza while carrying Paoi lands to river side with his friends are already there then Cado just in front of them just turns around holding the pot of Gumamela.

"What have you done, Cado?" Iza ask trembling of anger.

"I did it to save you." Cado replied calmly and confident.

"What the hell are you talking about, killing on a ordinary moon night will cause consequences on us, and why the hell I'm only one scolding Cado?!" Iza furiously ask but Ella and Vara remains calm and quite then suddenly Leo lands suddenly at the center of them.

"I have some bad news and good news." Leo informs but they all ask the bad news first. "The bad news are all the people in Paoi's house died and the good news is the buddies are burned that won't lead to us." Paoi suddenly felt worried.

"So your saying that my family died." Paoi ask closing his eyes in despair and wipes his tears.

"Why did you kill them!" Iza said yells at frustration while Cado looks seriously then raise the pot.

"An agreement is a agreement! Breaking a agreement will have major consequences and those death is enough to punish Paoi!" Cado said dropping the pot breaking it to pieces then an aura exploded which means that the Gayuma has broken, after which even far away Leo spoke to Paoi like whispering telling him to leave, so Paoi leaves the place on a hurry weeping as he sobbing.

"All this time those thrilling times that we witness are just a delusion?" Ella ask.

"Shouldn't we do something about Paoi, I mean I'm an Aswang but killing his entire family isn't just right especially to some childish and foolish agreement." Vara said.

"The agreement is clear especially Leo had broke it too." Cado said then all of them look to him asking why. "Admitted Leo you know that the dream isn't just a coincidence but you planned it just to give me an idea but it turns you just don't to let the others know that you didn't anything to repel the Gayuma to Iza instead you let him take away Iza." Everyone was shock while Leo just stunned.

"Is it true, Leo. You didn't even do a thing to stop their plans against Iza?" Ella ask frustrated with a snobbish face which Leo replied with a sigh.

"Yes, it's true."

"How long was it since you found out that Iza is been under the spell of the Gayuma?" Vara ask desperate.

"Since the moment Iza's been Gayuma, I confronted David about it but Paoi made Iza happy so I let that happen." Leo replied then Ella close her eyes then as it open it turns to smoldering red with her furious face so Ella opens her mouth unleashing her long snake like tongue striking Leo with countless whip which he remain still like he's not bothered even though the wounds are deep but soon enough Ella stop retrieving her tongue.
