Chapter 3: More Dreams

When he got home, he took his key to the house from his wallet. Since he was going to be dismissed every other day at 12 noon, he was to be alone at home. His Mom told their housemaid to leave for she was no more than another mouth to be fed. This leaves him by himself at home for at least 3 hours.

"Guess it's me all alone again."

He dropped his bag at the living room and headed straight to his bedroom. Once lying on his bed, he immediately fell asleep.

"Thank God we lost those wolves. I could not walk another step. Can't we rest here for the night?" Paolo, being the biggest of the group, was having a hard time running.

"Oh, all right. We can sleep over there. There is a cave over there. We can spend the night in there." Francis saw the cave about 300 meters from where they were standing. The group headed for the cave, not knowing what lies within it.

"Now this is better." Pinggoy said trying to be comfortable in one corner of the cave.

"How about food? We left all our things back at that forest. We can't survive without food." Ramch said pacing back and forth near the entrance of the cave.

Some agreed on Ramch's declaration. While others disagreed. This led to shouting and blaming of each other. Addison was fed up with all the noise and spoke up.

"Okay. Shut up, all of you! We should at least sacrifice food for tonight. We cannot head out and look for food on a night like this. We'll search for food tomorrow."

"Well, we better split our group to do things to help us survive in this, whatever this place is." Paolo suggested as he brought in a bunch of banana leaves from outside.

"What is that you have there Paolo?" asked Francis

"Oh, this? This is supposed to be like a blanket. Tonight is going to be very cold because of the heavy rain. So, how are we supposed to split up?"

"Okay, this is what we are going to do..."

KNOCK...KNOCK...KNOCK...KNOCK...KNOCK...

Paolo was awakened by the rapid knocking at the door.

"Who is it? I am sleeping!"

"It's Rafael. We are going to eat dinner! Come now or else you won't have any Coke to drink!"

As he tried to get up he looked up to his wall clock and saw that it is already eight o' clock. He was asleep for eight hours. As he recalled his dream, he realized that it was the continuation of the dream he had last night.

"Whoa, that was some dream. Well, I'd better get to dinner."
