Carlos' P.O.V.

"Carlos," may kumalabit sakin.

"Carlos," umulit na naman. Nakakainis na eh. Nakita nang natutulog ako.

"Carlos!" sabi nung nangangalabit. Alright I've had it. Sasapakin ko na kung sino yung nangangalabit sakin.

I opened my eyes and I saw that everything around me was black. It's almost like I'm floating in space pero nakakahinga ako. Suddenly, there were two holes opened and they looked like eyes. Sinubukan ko na i-avoid yung dalawang mata na nakatingin sakin pero it's no use. Wherever I go, nakasunod yung tingin nila sa akin. I'm starting to get creeped out. Suddenly, another hole opened and it looks like it's a mouth. I'm really getting creeped out. Ayoko na dito. Paano ba makalabas dito?

"Someone! Anyone! Help me!" sigaw ko.

"Nobody can help you now! You're brother abandoned you. He doesn't even know you exist anymore!" sabi ng isang voice. I looked around and yung disembodied mouth yung nagsasalita.

"Who are you? Why don't you fight me!?" pagbabanta ko.

"Fight you? MWAHAHAHA!!" said the voice as it laughed in a demonic tone.

"You can't even control your powers, and you're saying now that I should fight you?" pang-aasar niya.

I tried to summon my dragon so that I can destroy that entity. Nag-concentrate ako. It felt like a really long time pero walang nangyari.

The voice laughed liked a demon. "Nakita mo na? Wala kang kwenta! I don't even know why you have powers. You're useless compared to your brother," then it laughed again.

Michaelangelo's P.O.V.

This is getting weird. Nagsasalita si Carlos mag-isa. Hindi kaya binabangungot na siya? I need to wake him up and ask him what happened.

"Carlos! Carlos! Wake up! Anong nangyayari sa'yo!?" sigaw ko habang niyuyugyog ko sya.

It's true, I don't really show that I care for him but I care for him a lot. It just seem so unnatural kapag ipapakita ko na I care for him a lot. He would never grow up. Hindi siya mag-ma-mature. He will remain as a child hanggang sa iwanan ko na siya. Mangyayari na wala siyang kayang gawin sa sarili niya pag kinunsinte ko sya.

He's still not waking up. And we're the only ones in this room. I need some help. Sinubukan ko katukin ang katabi namin na kwarto.

"Help! Tulungan nyo kami!" sigaw ko.

The door opened slowly and I saw a girl come out. It's Carlos' friend. I think her name was Maria Aicah?

"Whut?" bungad nya.

"Help me! Ayaw magising ni Carlos. Parang binabangungot sya and no one seems to be in any of these rooms para matulungan kami," pagmamakaawa ko.

"Well of course, lahat sila nasa ibaba nakikipag -- wait did you just say na binabangungot si Carlos? Tara na! Ano pang ginagawa natin dito!?" sigaw nya sabay takbo sa kwarto namin.

Seriously? She's a bit weird. But she's Carlos' friend so siguro kailangan ko siyang mas makilala. Pumasok ako sa room namin and natawa ako sa ginagawa niya.

"Carlos!? Carlos!?" sigaw niya sabay sampal kay Carlos.

Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ako or mare-relief kasi gumagalaw na si Carlos.

"Someone help me," sabi ni Carlos.

"We need help," sabi ni Aicah.

"Wait, let me try something first," sabi ko then I shot frost into Carlos' face. Unti-unti siyang nagising. Sinampal pa siya ni Aicah which made him totally wake up.

Pagkagising nya, isang fireball ang muntikan nang tumama sa akin.

"HEY!? WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" inis kong sigaw.

"I HATE YOU! YOU'RE NOT MY BROTHER! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE ANYMORE! STAY AWAY FROM ME!" sigaw nya.

Sinampal siya ni Aicah which made him calm down. He then looked at me and started to cry. Nagtakip sya ng kumot para hindi namin makita na umiiyak sya.

"Carlos, lumabas ka dyan. Hiding under a blanket won't solve all your problems. So childish," pang-iinis ko.

"Shhh, you're so mean! Kaya pala may galit sya sa'yo," inis na sabi ni Aicah.

"Aicha! Don't tell him that!" sigaw ni Carlos sabay baba ng kumot.

"Don't tell me what?" tanong ko kay Carlos.

"How much I hate and despise you ever since you became friends with Angelo," said Carlos sarcastically.

"What? What is wrong with you? I just made a friend. And by the way, you don't hate or despise me. You're jealous!!" sigaw ko.

"Alam mo lalo mong pinapalala yung problema eh!" scolded Aicah.

"Sige na Carlos, tell us about your dream, or nightmare rather." pagco-comfort ni Aicah kay Carlos.

He told us this long story about his dream. He told us that he dreamt of disembodied eyes and a mouth talking to him.

"It surrounded me of my insecurities. It was so dark and horrible. I felt like I was gonna die. I can't even form my dragon to fight it. It was truly a horrendous experience. Malaki ang pasasalamat ko sa'yo Aicah kasi ikaw yung gumising sa akin. Ikaw yung naglagay ng yelo--" natigilan sya then he looked at me.

"Ikaw? Ikaw yung nanggising sa akin?" he looked at me in shock.

"That's right, 'I' saved you," sagot ko.

"Utang na loob ganun?" he said sarcastically.

"Ano ba? Pinapalala mo yung problema eh. Just thank him. He is your brother. He is your bestfriend." pangongonsiyensiya ni Aicah.

After that, tears filled his eyes and he got up to hug me. "Thank you," he whispered. "You're welcome," I said as I hugged him back. I saw Aicah staring towards us -- smiling. It felt a little awkward so I slowly pushed Carlos away. He wiped his tears ans thanked me again. He sat on the bed and looked at Aicah.

"There's another thing," sabi nya.

"What thing?" sagot ni Aicah.

"The voice in my dream, I know who it belongs to. I just don't know who." sagot niya.

"Dude, it was a dream. It's probably nothing." comfort ko.

"I guess you're right. Hey let's get something to eat." sabi nya sabay tawa.

I know it's not nothing. Dreams like that are usually premonitions. But I'm really glad it's over.
