Camerron's Point of View
When I opened my eyes, I was surprised when I am already standing in a room. Unattended, it is clean and only the light of the full moon penetrating from the small window provides little light around.
I walked but it seemed like my feet were too heavy so I’m stepping too slow.
Soon smoke came out at the far end of the room. When the moonlight touched my eyes, I closed my eyes because of its glare.
When I opened my eyes again, I was startled to see a man. He was standing where the smoke was coming from, he was turning his back on me so I couldn’t see his face.
He is wearing a white polo and black pants. He is tall and handsome.
To my curiosity who the stranger man was, I tried to approach him. My mouth wanted to say something but words couldn’t came out on my lips.
My step was slow, as he did not move in his stance. I don’t know but I suddenly smiled when the two of us finally got close.
I raised my hand to hold his shoulder but it was as if a strong force was holding me back.
"Who are you? What am I doing here?"
A voice rang out in the room where I was, I didn't know where it was coming from so I looked around but I could only see darkness.
It was so dark all around that fear began to creep into my body.
"Who are you?" the voice said.
I just answered with another question.
Suddenly, I stared at the man in front of me, he wasn't even moving. I tried to hold him again but like earlier, the force was there again, as if pulling my hands away.
"Tell me where I am and who you are, why are you with me?"
The irritation in the voice was obvious when it spoke again.
I turned around, I knew the voice was coming from him but when I tried to speak again no more voice came out of my mouth. I insisted again, but the air just filled my ears every time I tried to utter even one word.
I walked to where I had come from before but every step I took was too heavy.
In just a flash I was swallowed by the darkness again, I looked around but I was alone. The light coming from the moon is gone, only darkness.
"Who are you!"
I started to get nervous when I heard a scream.
"Tt ... Help" I shouted sharply.
I almost didn't want a voice to come out of my mouth. I started to get scared, my heart was pounding fast.
"HELP! HELP! MOMMY!" I shouted loudly in my mind out of sheer fear.

Camerron's Reality
"Cams, wake up! Wake up child!"
I suddenly woke up when I heard mommy’s voice and felt her shaking my body.
I gasped and sweated profusely as I felt the tears flow down my face. I cried even more when I looked at my mom and immediately hugged her, I had a nightmare!
"Mommy ..." I could only say as I continued to cry.
I kept sobbing as I hugged her, I was still so scared, I almost didn't want to close my eyes for fear that I might be swallowed by the darkness again.
"Shhhhh, baby it's just a dream, I'm already here."
She just stroked my hair and caress my back until I calmed down. Later she turned to me and wiped my tear-soaked cheek.
"What did you dream about?"
I tried to remember my dream clearly, but it seemed like everything suddenly faded in my memory.
All I knew was that I was in a room that was very dark, there was a man, then a voice ... then ...
"I'm in a room, it's dark, then there's a voice ... then .... then I can't remember everything very well. I'm just scared, I'm scared mommy!"
Suddenly I cried again while remembering it all so mom hugged me again.
"Shh, forget it, it's just a dream, ok?" She kissed my forehead then hugged me very tightly.
Now that I am pretty calm, I feel safe in his arms.

"Ma'am we're already here"
I came back to reality when our driver spoke, we just arrived here at school but I didn't even realize it because my mind was floating.
I got off and said goodbye to the driver.
"Cammeron Garcia"
My teacher called my name, I just sat down and yes, I was late again.
"Present sir!"
Mr. Dela Cruz looked straight at me while slightly lowering his eye glasses.
Here we are again, he will scold me again.
"You're 5 minutes late, Ms. Garcia. When will you come to my class early, huh?"
His eyebrows met as if he was going to eat me alive. He's really scary.
"I'm sorry sir, I just woke up late," I blurted out.
"Next! Aris Garbe"
He ignored me and then continued checking the attendance.
I just sniffed the air.
I started taking things out before our strict teacher could notice me again.
I stopped and was slightly taken aback when I suddenly remembered something. Until now, I still can't forget the dream I had last night. Lately, I’ve noticed that my dreams are getting weirder and weirder.
