Chapter 5 - ASWANG

I felt the blood rushing to my head as I touch her neck down to her shoulders freeing it from the bondage of her bra strap. We kissed again, but now our tongues meet for the first time. She taste so sweet and the smell of her breath is like a drug that makes me want her more.

I pressed her to the wall, her body arched pressing her breast into me. I slipped my arms in her back and pulled her closer to my body while pressing her back more against the wall.

I felt like an animal so hungry for flesh, the primal urge to procreate filled my mind.

As my hands roamed freely in her body, she lifted her right leg and crossed it over mine, pressing my lower body tighter into her.

She raised her arms as if signaling me to grab her breast, in which i didn't declined.

I kissed her lips, down to her neck. But before I reached her breast, I felt a sudden pain in my shoulders. Then I passed out.

The next thing i know, I was tied with a rope all around my body hanging upsidedown in a tree. I was hanging about a meter above a small fire pit. The smoke from the fire pit makes it harder for me to breath, and it also hurt my eyes. I was coughing so hard, then I heard children laughing. I raised my eyes and saw three Children climbing on the branch where I was tied.

I called out to them but they only laugh hard. With the weight of the three children on the branch, I was lowered near the fire pit at about half a meter. I can feel the heat from the flame at it is melting my hair as it does when exposed to fire.

I shouted.

"Why are you doing this to me?!"

Then Shiela, the girl I was with moments ago answered.

"You passed the test, you are a young and healthy man at your prime. Full of libido that gives you a strong sexual desire. Your meat will surely taste delicious."

I can't fully comprehend what she was saying but that time I thought they are a bunch of sick and twisted devil worshipers and I am thier sacrifice. But i was proven wrong, they are not ordinary humans. People, or shall I say monsters came out from the shadows and surrounded me. Their faces were hideous, jaws split right in the middle, literally a divided chin. Rows of ragged sharp teeth lined the upper part of the mouth like that of a shark.

They were in ecstasy, howling to the moon as they dance around me.

Then they suddenly stop. Shiela raised her hands and said.

"Greetings, my brothers and sisters! We are gathered here tonight in honor of our god Sitan! Tonight will be the night, where we will take our rightful place as the apex predator of mankind! The humans have been living like the rulers of this land, buy they didn't know that they were mere cattles for us to consume. Tonight! they will experience fear like no other! They will know how it feels to be hunted like prey every night."

Shiela set her eyes on me and continued.

"Tonight, we will feast!!! we will consume our very first sacrifice to our god Sitan! May he bless us with strength and ferocity to overcome any resistance from the humans."

As soon as she finished her speech, one of the children who climbed the branch where i was tied cut the rope and sent me falling straight into the fire pit. The flames burned half of my face, I rolled away from the fire pit. When the monsters saw what happened they all laugh hysterically. One of the monsters picked me up with only one arms and said.

"Quit squirming and accept your fate as food for us Aswangs!"

He opened his mouth to take a bite at my neck when suddenly his head explodes from a Sniper bullet. The Aswangs were taken by surprise, they were shocked and was not able to move for a second. Then I heard multiple gunshots, the Aswangs scrambled to take cover. Some of them took to the skies as they transformed into a giant bat. Others crawled in the ground and turned into wild boars. The Aswangs retaliated and attacked the soldiers who were shooting at them. The Aswangs that turned into giant bats swooped down to the soldiers hiding in the bushed only to be gunned down as they approach. Those who managed to get close enough only got slashed and hacked by the soldiers swords.

The three children above the tree dropped dead one by one. A female Aswang came to aide them but was also shot. She managed to growled at the soldiers before being neutralized by a bullet to the face. I crawled away from the Aswangs and was rescued by the soldiers. They took me to an ambulance and brought me to the hospital where I was treated.

I waited to hear the news coverage about the incident in the television but there was nothing. I searched for it in the internet and got nothing. There was a news blackout.

Few days later, men wearing black suits came to my house and threatened me not to tell anybody about what happened. I think they are still monitoring me, I sometimes catch them following me from my house to the office. I also noticed that someone had broke into my house and touched my laptop. They hacked into my facebook and Gmail accounts to monitor me and make sure I am not talking about what happened. That is why I am sharing this here hoping they havent hacked my account here yet.
