I still can't understand what's happening.... Am I still dreaming? I pinch myself to check if I was .. But no luck .... I'm still shocked .. That the girl in my dream is dead... I didn't even have a chance to know her... My mom is confused because I was just staring at the television...
Mom: Are you alright, sweetie? You look pale..
Sandy: I'm okay... I... I'm just shocked... That we could die even in our dreams...
Mom: Maybe she drank something before going to sleep... We don't know the reason why she died...
Sandy: I hope the truth will come out...
Mom: I've prepared the breakfast... Come On... Let's eat... Don't think about it too much...
While eating my mind is still blank… as I pour milk into my glass, I didn't notice I'm spilling it…
Mom: Hey… You're wasting it…
Sandy: Sorry Mom… I didn't check it…
Mom: What's the matter? Did something happen in the school?
Sandy: No, Mom… I was just thinking… Could reality and dreams could somehow connect?
Mom: I don't know… But somethings for sure… Their are some research that says that when you have nightmare your pancreas is damaged and will start to bleed… sometimes causing death…
Sandy: Wow… Now I know why you became well-known nurse… You have knowledge regarding medicine.. You should have been a doctor not a nurse…
Mom: Well… I love my job and your father was already a doctor so I didn't want to have a rival…
Sandy: I'm really curious Mom… I want to know what really happened to me and Dad… Please…
Mom hesitate for a moment and sighed… When she almost starts to speak, her phone ringed…
Mom: Sorry sweetie… I've got a call from the hospital… Gotta go…
When she leaves… I'm all alone again… Maybe I could searched for the others while I'm still here in reality…
Hours passed by… I can't still find them… I looked on facebook.. On instagram… twitter… but my search is in vain… I look at the clock it's 9pm.. I should pack things that could help me in that dream just in case I will enter that dream again… But as I seek for items…. I noticed one notebook… a photo was between the pages… I saw a photo of me… but my mom and dad wasn't in the photo… I've been carried by a man and woman I don't recognized…. As I look closely on the photo… I saw my parents… At the back… talking to other kid… wait… I think I saw her before?… Is that Samantha? I was horrified… I have a lot questions on my mind… My mom is the only one who can answer me..
Then I heard another gong again… My legs quiver as if forcing me too sleep… I saw flashbacks again… This time I saw Samantha.. crying… asking my mom to pick her.. then I slowly shut my eyes…
I woke up… everyone are still asleeping… I shake Kyle to wake him up…
Kyle: You don't need to shake me… I'm awake… We we're waiting for you…
I look backed I saw Chan and Sean staring at me..
Sandy: So I'm the last one to arrive?
Kyle: Do I need to say it twice? Dumb…
Sean: Did you saw the news about Samantha?…
Chan: Yeah… It was horrible… She died the same way her mother died…
Sean: According to my research, Samantha was adopted… But her adoptive parents was not as sweet as loving she anticipated… Her dad is alcoholic… her mother made her drink medicine not intended for her… making her crippled… She became paralyzed for 13 years… and that was because of her mother..
Chan: So she killed her mother… out of hatred… wow.. that's so creepy…
Sean: I found out that she was swapped… in the orphanage..
Sandy: I saw this in between my mothers book.. I think my supposedly parents was the she expected to be her parents…
The others looked at the photo…
Chan: So you're adopted too?
Sandy: I don't know…
Then they saw a floating light… circling them… they didn't noticed… another person came.. A man is seating across the room… just looking at them…
Sean: Hey there's another man arrived in here…
Chan: Hi… I'm Chan… you are???
Jun: I'm Jun nice to meet you..
Sandy: Sorry we didn't notice you…
Jun: It's okay…
Sean: So when did you arrived?
Jun: Arrived? I've been here forever… in this nightmare…
Kyle: You're kidding right? How come we've only noticed you now? When you say you're here… all this time..
Jun: No.. I've been in coma… my whole life… or was I…
Sean: So you know this place?
Jun: Not exactly… I'm here but I haven't explored this place…
Sandy: Can I ask you something? Do you have memories of your childhood?
Jun: No, I don't have… Only the memory of my father… He put me on research lab… And begun testing me… with different drug… So I woke up to this place for as long as I remember…
Chan: That's awful..!
Jun: Sandy… It's your name right? (smiling)
He looks at me as if waiting for an answer…
Sandy: How did you know my name?
Jun: I don't know… I just remembered your name… It's as if you're in my childhood memories…
Chan: Do you know him, Sandy?
Sandy: I don't know exactly… But I really feel familiar with him..
Just like when I first saw you guys…
Chan: That's exactly what I thought… How about you Sean?
Do you remember you past?
Sean: It's not like I don't remember it, I just don't want to talk about it…
Kyle: Why are you hiding it? Is it that bad?
Sean: It's none of your business!
Jun: Hey! You don't need to shout? We will understand if you don't want to talk about it…
WE MET JUN, BUT IS HE AN ALLY OR A FOE? AND WHAT'S SEAN'S CLOUDY PAST? WHY IS HE HIDING IT…
