I hid the paper inside the back pocket of the pajamas that I am wearing, why am I here? I don't recall going into this place? At paanong nakapantulog ako ngayon? Marahan kong inikot ang paningin ko sa kabuuan ng kwartong kinalalagyan ko ngayon together with my brother and his friends.

I crawl beside my brother and shake him up, I need to know that he's alive although humihinga naman siya. Waaahhhh ano bang meron sa kwarto na ito, napakacreepy naman kasi sa sobrang puti. Tss parang galit na galit kay rainbow ah, hmm where have I seen this white room anyway?

"Uyyy Kuyaaa wake up! Buhay ka pa ba? YAH! ANO BANG GINAGAWA NATIN DITO!"-napasigaw na ako because of frustration, until now 'di ko parin alam kung bakit ako nandito at kung paano ako napunta dito. Jeez last time I check I don't sleep walk naman.

"Tss shut up, ang sakit mo talaga sa tengang babae ka!"-bigla naman akong nagulat nung marinig ko ang boses na yun, tss si Crimson lang pala akala mo naman ang gandang pakinggan ng boses niya may pagsigaw sugar pa.

"Who cares?" I roll my eyes at him. "Kuyaaaa wake up!"-pinagpatuloy ko parin ang gising kay kuya blue hoping that he'll finally open up his eyes.

"Can you at least lower down your voice? My ears are still ringing"-Crimson glared down at me but I still paid him no mind.

Kailan pa naging ganito kahirap gisingin itong kapatid ko? As far as I know hindi siya tulog mantika. I huffed out as I cross my arms, tss should I just kick him or freeze him or something?

Sa kabilang side naman ni Kuya Blake ay si Ashton tas sa kanan nito si Wave at sa tabi nito ay si Crimson na nasa kaliwa ko naman. Napansin ko lang na nakabilog kami, holy cow at paano naman kami napunta sa ganitong posisyon? Are we actually playing games kaya ganito positions namin?

Then something caught my eyes, sa tagal kong ginigising si kuya ngayon ko lang napansin ang green small crystals embedded on his forehead along with his eyebrows similar to belly dancers that has crystals on their faces. At hindi lang si Kuya ang meron nun, ganun din si Ashton, Wave at Crimson ang pinagkaiba lang ng mga ito ay kulay nila. Gray for Ashton, blue for Wave and then red for Crimson na para bang it represents their cores. I tried searching for mine so kinapa ko ang mukha ko at there I felt small crystals kagaya nung sa kanila, I just don't know kung anong kulay ito probably white or ice blue.

Nagsisimula na ding magising si Ashton and Wave at halos sabay silang nagmulat ng mata, parang nasilaw pa sila dahil sa sobrang liwanag nitong kwarto kaya agad din silang napapikit. After a few more minutes Wave sat after his laying position. Iniuli niya muna ang kanyang paningin at parang nagtataka din kung paano siya napunta dito, well looks like hindi lang ako ang walang nalalaman sa mga nangyayari. Few more minutes and I heard my brother groaned then immediately rose up and then he hysterically scan the room, wow nabaliw na ba siya?

"That was one weird dream"-he mumbled mostly to himself pero mukha namang natauhan siya na hindi siya ngayon nag-iisa sa loob ng white room na ito.

"Uhmmm hey?"-alangan kong bati sa kanya then I gave everyone an unsure smile even Crimson but I still don't like him.

"Why are we here? Ang huli kong naaalala ay nasa clinic ako and then inutusan ako ni Crimson to fix myself then poof I don't recall anything after that. Then nagising ako from a weird dream saying that I am one of the chosen ones, it doesn't make any sense"-kunot na kunot ang noo ni kuya while recalling his memories bago siya mapunta dito.

"Same here, I was with Ice inside the clinic and then... then I don't remember anything after that. And ano ba yang mga nasa mukha niyo?"-then Crimson pointed our faces where the crystals are placed.

"Dude meron ka din so don't feel too left out"-Ashton said sarcastically and then he rolled his eyes at Crimson, ooohhh someone's in a bad mood.

"But I did have the dream too saying the same thing. She showed me something before ako magising but I just can't remember kung ano yun"-Wave said too while furrowing his eyebrows as if trying to really remember something.

"How about you Ice? Did you dreamed of something? Somehow similar to ours?"-after akong tanungin nun ni Kuya all eyes were on me then something clicked on my brain then few pieces of memory flowed into my brain.

"Now, you being here has a really important reason. I need you to listen to me carefully..."

"Your whole existence will be a great help to your generation, you and the others will have to save Elementia Academy from the same enemies like what your ancestors did back in their time..."

"All of your life the truth had been hidden away from you. All of your life you've been living in lies..."

"You are not who you think you are, and the people around you are not the people who you think they are..."

"It's just all a lie..."

"You are never supposed to be an Emperial..."

"Yes you have a brother but not the one who you became accustomed with..."

"You are the one to decide if you will help your generation and be one of the heroes just like your ancestors or let yourself be eaten up..."

"after all it's still your other half..."

"a great power comes with great responsibility..."

"you are weaker... you are more vulnerable"

"She wanted to protect you until her very last breath..."

"So... your schoolmates and other thousand lives of elementalist are in your hand and with the other chosen students. You have the choice, bring light to them or be one with the shadows..."

"That's all you need to know for now, sooner or later you'll know everything and you will have to accept it no matter what..."

Upon remembering things my eyes began to water, and my heart started to ache from too much pain. How can I forget? Ang lakas ng loob kong tawagin pa siyang Kuya after all that I have caused him.

"I'm... sorry Blake"-then I sobbed endlessly he tried to comfort me and reached out for me but I didn't let him, I can't let him care for me when I'm hating myself at the moment.

"I'm guessing you know the truth already?"-he asked then I just nod my head but I still continued to cry.

"Don't feel bad about it, I always wanted a sister so if you're thinking that you stole something from me forget about it 'cause you never did."-I can say that he's smiling but I still refused to look up at him.

"Hey tahan na Ice, you're making me feel bad. Did you know that I'm the one who chose your name? Ingrid is my dream sister from a book and she really looked like you back when you were still a baby. Blonde hair and blue doe eyes, from the first time I saw you I promised to myself that I'll treat you like my real sister and protect you no matter what. So please don't feel bad anymore, I love you Ice and I don't regret having you in our lives, in my life"-then he hugged me and cradled me just like a baby while I cried on his shoulder.

"Uhmm are we missing something?"-Ashton asked with a baffled look.

"Dude? Is everything alright? Uhmm sorry but what is exactly happening right now?"-now Wave is confused too.

"Is there something we should know about?"-Crimson asked while intently looking at me or maybe samin ng Kuya ko. I don't really know what's real and not at this moment dahil sa lahat ng mga nangyayari sakin nitong mga nakaraan, I realized na sobrang lakas na ng imagination ko so maybe, just maybe right now is one of my imaginations?

Or so I thought...
