Chapter 29: We Need To Talk

POV: Grace


I never thought I'd say this to myself... but honestly... I've been so jealous of Louie... and I just couldn't get over the fact that he is successful than me... I assumed his life was a dream... but from what happened... with Isabel... I wonder what Louie faces more...


My vision is dark... well I'm sleeping silly... I said to myself.. although.. if I'm sleeping why can I still hear my thoughts? Shouldn't I be like drifting and such...


Dust particles start to appear as the black dark void of a room I'm in start to light up. Huh?! What's going on... I pondered as the dust particles danced around the wind like a hurricane around me.


POV: Louie


"Huh? Where are we? What is this place?" I asked Luther who seemed to be calm.


"We are in "Grace Baltazar's dream" since the spell worked it means she is sleeping which is good," Luther said to us.


"What... so that means Grace is still asleep at this point? Ugh, Grace is so lazy." Sungah made a snarky remark as we walked in a dark room... nothing but darkness...


"If this is Grace's dream... does that mean she is dreaming of a dark room..." I asked Luther.


"This just means she isn't dreaming anything too grand... which is honestly good.. we might see something that we should not see if she has a dream..." Luther shook as he grabbed his wand. "Just to explain to all of you. Follow hooker rules."


"No kissing in the mouth?" Sungah said puzzled.


"Why would you even know that Sungah!' Greg whimpered innocently. Sungah giggled. "You are too innocent for your own good Greg.. you really need to be naughty sometimes."


Sungah doesn't really have a sense of shame, does she? I can't believe she was a student council member before...


"Ehem... like what I was saying. I mean stripper rules... you can look but don't touch anything... touching or interrupting something here will cause some major problem towards Grace. So be in your best behavior understand?" Luther sneered at Sungah, emphasizing the best behavior part of his lecture to her.


We continued walking the empty void of a dream that Grace has... as we continued walking the other grew even more bored.


"I wonder if there's wifi in Grace's dream," Sungah said curiously as she grabbed her phone from her pocket opening it. "Huh?" Her loud huh made us look at her in confusion.


"The time... it says here it's like 5 pm here already? Aren't we like gone for like a few minutes?" Sungah showed us the time.


"Oh.. I forgot to tell you... time goes faster here in the dream world. It's kind of like how your dreams are so fast and just a few minutes when you dream about them. Anyways only dream weaving magic works here so don't try any spells." Luther said but point more on Sungah's mischievous personality.


"We have been walking for like hours in earth's time... where is Grace? Why can't we talk to her?" I asked Luther.


This walking around is wasting our time... although now that I think about it.. this is a pretty good scenario... since time goes faster... it's fast that we reach tomorrow meaning we can turn to our original bodies faster without spending an actual 24 hours.


"Actually the reason it's hard to find her is because she isn't dreaming of anything... it's hard to find someone in a void... that's for sure."


"You said before you can change the dream of the person right? Maybe just change her dream into something that's not a void so we can see her?" I suggested to them.


"Actually that's a good idea... let me just cast a spell to change her dream." Luther nodded in agreement closing his eyes for a little.


The room shifted into somewhat of a dining room.. a baroque dining room decorated with marble walls and wonderous paintings..... now this man has some style...


POV: Grace


I guess... this is fine.. being alone in my thoughts... although what am I going to do when I wake up... what would happen to me...


Huh?! What's going on... I see the room shifting into some kind of fancy-schmancy dining room. Not really the type of person to describe architectural design but it turned into something...


"You could turn the dream into anything and you chose this boring-ass dining room ugh." Sungah sighed in disappointment.


Huh!? Is this a dream or something? Why are they here...


"Grace!" Greg pointed to me coming up towards me putting me in a tight embrace.


"Okay, Okay stop you are going to choke me in here." I giggled and smacked his back gently.


I looked around to see Sungah... Luther.. and.. Louie... he's here... my throat closed up in the sight of him staring at me... he walked towards me as I started to avoid eye contact... I don't want to talk to him.


"Grace. We need to talk..." He said to me sternly with his dark sharp eyes... poking holes into my little self-esteem.


"Alright then... do you guys mind if you leave?" I turned to Sungah, Greg, and Luther.


"Of course... let's go." Greg nodded, carrying Luther and Sungah out of the room. "HEY WHOOA WHY ARE YOU SO STRONG," Luther said surprised as he is being carried out of the dining room.


We both sat down in the dining room... both staring into each other as we were playing a game of chess as always... I never wanted to meet and talk to him face to face ever again and yet... I am forced to...


"Hi... what do you want from me..." I asked him to break the ice...


"What happened? Why did we switch bodies... I asked Sungah and Greg about it but they said I'd have to ask you... so I'm here... I'm asking... why did we switch bodies." He crosses his legs.. staring into my eyes waiting for my answer.


"Actually I'm not sure either... this wasn't really supposed to happen... but it just happened... but according to Sungah this will be undone tomorrow... so we can just return back to our normal lives and pretend this never happened alright?" I said to him timidly.


He stared at me, scanning my facial expression up and down... as if he is deducing something... why do I feel like a dog being punished by my master... he can't just look down at me like this.


"Have you met Isabel? Well, who Isabel truly is.. or not yet since I'm guessing you haven't woken up yet." He asked in a concerned voice.. catching me off guard... for some reason, he cares about me now? What is he up to?


"I met Isabel yes and by what she truly is... she drugged me... twice... using a paralyzing drug and a sleeping medicine of sort making me fall asleep that's why I'm here right now," I answered him.


"I'm just glad your safe Grace..." He grabbed my hand sympathizing with me... don't fall for it Grace.. harden your heart.. he's just trying to play you again and make you look like a fool.


"Although why don't I ask you a question as well? Why have you come to my dream to talk to me? Surely you have some other reason other than talk?" I asked him.


He raised an eyebrow. "I wanted to talk because I was concerned... I never want anyone to experience my life... it's a big shit show." He said in his concerned voice...


Bullshit. He must be laughing so badly about my current situation... he thinks I can't handle his life because he's so much superior to me... he's such an asshole.


"You didn't need to go here. Tomorrow we'll just switch back anyways. I don't need your sympathy.." I told him off straight to his face.


He cleared his throat. "Since you also don't know what happened I am quite confused honestly... I don't really know the motivation of this... why would this happen... when Sungah and Greg told me you had the answers surely I would expect that you have them."


Ugh..Sungah couldn't shut up her mouth as always...


"This little debacle has caused an interruption in my schedule so forgive me for my forwardness." He said sternly...


Talking business in a time like this... ugh...


"Well like I said... just forget it happened... we'll be switched back tomorrow anyways so you can have fun with your business or whatever.. so stop talking to me got it?" I said to him.


"Certainly... I wouldn't want to speak to you in any way. I find it a waste of both our times." He agreed.


"Guys! In the time here on my phone, it says here it's already 6 am... it's already morning! Maybe if we stop the dream you are already in your body.." Sungah said to us.


"Alright then. Let's stop this dream. Well, it was nice talking to you, Grace. I hope we can just forget about this." He offers me his hand.


"Yup, I'll want to forget all about this." I accepted his hand.


"Alright then! I'll end the dream... hold on tight." Luther yelled whispering something under his breath causing the room to break and you guessed it... I woke up.


Home Sweet Ho-


Wait a minute! That white ceiling... I'm STILL IN THE HOSPITAL! MEANING WE DIDN'T SWITCH!
