"Lander.. Wake up my little Lander..", was the voice that was trying to penetrate Lander's dream that morning.

"Mmmmnnn, w-*yawn* what?"

"But Lander, you're almost late. They had already started eating and you might get scolded"

"Can I still have a few minutes? Please!", was the only reply he could give to the sweet voice. He didn't want to wake up just yet. Just a few more minutes, yes! a few more and he would be able to capture those flying donuts. He could already feel his mouth water with the idea of these donut grazing his taste buds. He could also almost taste the chocolate that was glaze in it and was sprinkled with his favorite roasted nuts. Just a bit more, a..bit..mor-

"Lander Angel Mitchelle! Why are you still in your bed!", the voiced boomed inside the room.

The voice effectively penetrated the haze that was still enveloping Lander's successfully chasing away his donut dream. Lander was startled and he immediately jerked awaked. " No! No! I'm not! I was chasing the donuts."

"Oh really?"was the sarcastic reply.

" Eh?",Lander rubbed his hands in his eyes to totally dispel his sleepiness. He turned his head on where the scolding voice came from. He sheepishly rubbed his scalp when he saw that it was Headmistress Lina standing on the room's doorway, hands on her hips with an annoyed expression on her face.

"What was that young man?"

"Hehehehe-- nothing Headmistress Lina. I was just really having a really nice dream." He excitedly exclaimed while trying to escape the clutches of his bed. He got down and animatedly explain his dream to her. "I was on an island full of donuts and in the center of it my favorite donut is just lowly flying. I have to catch it Headmistress Lina! I totally have too!"

Lina patiently listened to Lander's explanation, earlier when she noticed that Lander is missing she was immediately felt troubled. When she first started here 3 years ago, she was immediately briefed about Lander's case. There was mysterious stories circulating on the child's past. Some of the stories are mysterious ones but some stories are even bordering spooky.

Some of the volunteers said that they sometimes see little Lander playing by himself, now that's not what makes it weird or spooky, but while playing the kid usually talks to someone as if he really had a companion while playing. Some would say that in this age children usually have imaginary friends that they play with but Lander's interaction with his imaginary friends are going over board.

Some of the kids don't want to play with him for they find Lander weird or spooky. They find him frightening and is afraid to his imaginary friends. Some of the kids says Lander's imaginary friend is sometimes violent. It causes volunteers to worry for Lander's mental capacity. They don't want to make a huge issue out if it to protect Lander from other complications. They all hope that when the kid hit 10 yrs. Old he will be able to drop this imaginary friend thing. For the time being they just let the child's imagination run wild.

"Headmistress are you listening?"

"Oh, I'm sorry Angel, Mistress Lina is quite occupied. What is it again?"she comforted the child lovingly.

" Hmp! I'm telling you that Miss Angela was here again this morning and she was trying to wake me up but I was having such a nice dream that I don't want to wake up; please don't be angry with her too." Then he suddenly added, "And don't call me Angel, that's a girl's name. Call me Lander, capital L- small letter a-n-d-e-r. I don't want others to hear that." Lander pouted after saying that.

After hearing the name, she felt a bit chilly. It's as if there is a block of ice beside her. She tried ignoring it and tried to focus on the child instead.

"It's okey little Lander. Now go to the cafeteria before the others eat all the food." She gently urges the child. "You go first okey? I'll just arrange your beddings, ok?"

"Okey Headmistress" Lander enthusiastically nodded. When he was nearly out of the door, he suddenly stop and turned around.

"Goodbye Ms. Angela, see you later!" Lander enthusiastically wave then he was gone.

Headmistress Lina's hairs immediately stood-up, she thought Lander had forgot to do something but she never expected that the kid would do that. Lander's expression really portrayed someone who believe that what he said is true. To avoid scaring her self she immediately bussied herself on task at hand. A few minutes later after she was finished she was getting ready to go out. She felt that cold felling again then she suddenly heard a fleeting sound that she's not sure if she heard is right or not.

"Thank you..."

She abruptly stopped and scanned the room if she is being pranked but seeing nothing she felt spooked and hurriedly gone to the direction of the cafeteria.

When the room was again silent with no occupant present, things started to move. Lander's clothes was move to certain places, arrange in a certain manner. The hastily done bed was organized in a much neater way. Then everything was silent again. But as the gentle breeze flow inside the room and as the curtains flew gently upwards,a silhouette of a lady standing silently gazing outside was by the window appeared but as the curtains settled down the image was immediately gone. As if it was never there to begin with.
