I think I know what it is, and if I’m right, they’re incredibly hard to kill…” “What is it?” He looked into my eyes, pain rippling across his face when he moved. “An Aswang.

The pressurized water fell onto the tender flesh, but for some reason, he let the pain overtake him. It always started with Aswangs. Always. He remembered asking many soldiers in this cursed battalion as to why they have sold their souls to it. Most of them had their reasons, but it all comes down with Aswangs, or some other ugly bloodsuckers hiding in the dark.
