James Point of View...

We're here in my apartment right now at Athena. It's evening and Eli has a fever after what she did kanina, nakita lang ako sumugod sa ulan ay ginaya na rin ako.

She's eating silently while watching on her phone, and I'm eating while watching her. Mukhang napansin niya naman ako nakatingin sa kanya cause she turned to me.

"May alam ka bang book na ang title ay 'The Dreamers?' nung nag birthday si Luna, Sandra gave her that kind of book pero walang laman. When the stalker gave me the bear and may kasama siyang parang diary. It has the same book" he asked and i shrugged my shoulder as i gave her hot choco.

"Does the diary you have, have contents inside?" I asked her

"I don't know, it needs a key to open it, kaya kinuha ko yung key na nasayo kase kasukat. I've tried it and it worked but i haven't seen what's inside" kwento niya kaya tumango ako.

"Let's check it tomorrow. Now, you need to rest" I said and she just looked at me like I took her food away.

"We'll see it now" sabi niya sbaay tayo at hila sakin palabas ng apartment ko pero pinigilan ko agad siya.

"Maybe let's finish eating before letting your intrusive thoughts win" I said as she looked at the table with our food unfinished.

"Sabi ko nga..." Sabi niya sabay balik sa mesa para kumain uli.

"HUH??" A disappointed hiss came out from Eli as she opened the book in front of me, all of the pages were blank.

"What the fuck?!" She cuss again bago padabog na isinara yung libro.

"What the fuck does that mean? Even yung book kay Luna at empty rin, I mean, like this, all of the pages were blank!" She cusses again and I'm just looking at her.

"Maybe there's a hidden text there?" I asked her pero umiling siya.

"If there's any, sana may nakuha na si Luna na information pero wala rin" she said and I nodded.

"Hand me the book, I'll try, maybe I'll find something" sabi ko and she looks hesitant before handing me the book, and its heavy.

"Can you take me home? Sa village? Since andun din naman car ko, and I wanna spend my night there" she asked and I refused.

"You're sick and I'm not letting you spend a night with no one's around" i said and there she was again, being hard headed.

"You pick, you stay a night in my apartment or yours, or stay a night in your old house, but with me" she looked at me confused, pouting before walking towards her office door before murmuring something.

"Fine" she gave up as we both walked out of her cafe na may ilang tao sa loob.

"Siguro dun na lang tayo sa apartment ko" she suggested, di na ako tumanggi saka tumango as we both left the place. 

Luna's Point of View... 

"Oh fuck" halos sabay na mura namin ni Kurt ng biglang kumidlat ng pagkalakas lakas. He looked at me shocked kaya natawa ako. Saka ko naalala si Eli na takot sa kidlat kaya tinext ko agad siya and buti nag respond siya agad sakin, sabi niya kasama niya daw ngayong gabi ni James sa apartment niya kaya nakahinga ako ng maluwag.

 Napabalik naman ang tingin ko kay Kurt na nasa sala, may hawak siyang libro and he looks confused sabay tingin sakin at lumapit.

He was holding the book that Sandra gave me.
