When Jay opened the door, at first Evie didn't see Carlos at first, but then Jay pointed to bellow one of the beds and whispered that it had some type of magic barrier. She went over to attempt what Jay had failed and coax him from under the bed. When she got down next to the bed, she noticed that his breathing sounded abnormal, but not fast. It was extremely slow and controlled, like when someone was sleeping.
"Carlos?" He didn't even show her the slightest bit of acknowledgement, "Carlos, it's me, Evie."
He whimpered, which meant he was most likely experiencing a flashback... which was weird because he wasn't panicking. It was almost as if... Not that made any sense. Nevertheless, she decided that there'd be no harm in asking, "Hey Jay? Did you notice-"
"That it's almost as if he's not here? Yeah." Jay told her from across the room.
"But that doesn't make sense."
"He said that he was in the dream."
"Bu-"
"Evie?" Carlos groaned as he looked up at her blinking several times.
"Carlos, where were you?"
"I hurt Jay."
Evie scoffed, "C'mon. Jay? He's fine."
"BUT IF I USE MAGIC TO HURT PEOPLE HOW AM I ANY BETTER THAN HIM?!"
"Because you are. You chose good. You hurt him by accident."
"I guess." Carlos crawled from under the bed and sat on top of it, clutching the pillow. He looked over to Jay and tried to apologize but was immediately told that it was okay(of course).
"Carlos..."
"It was him... It wasn't a flashback... or a dream. I was really there."
"What about the dream? I know you may not want to talk about it, but we have to know."
"Our parents are coming. And it's all my fault."
"It's not your fault. Maleficent cursed your dream to come true. We just have to tell the Fairy God Mother and all, and we'll work it out."
Carlos scoffed harshly and chuckled a bit, "There is no one as powerful as him. We're goners." Evie exchanged a look with Jay and pulled a relatively normal looking Carlos off the bed,
"Let's go tell them. Hmm?" She pushed him into the bathroom to get himself together first. Before they left, Jay stopped and told him that they would talk about what happened when he was hiding under the bed(the whole complete unawareness thing) later. On their way to speak with FGM and Ben's parents, the trio stopped to pick up their other friends. While the two boys waited in the hall, Evie stopped in to get her mirror and whisper,
"Careful. He's in a mood." At which Mal smirked and said,
"Cool.", refusing to answer Ben's question of how bad it could possibly be.
"Carlos." Ben smiled, but it dropped when he gave the King a weirder look that he had upon meeting him.
"We should wait for your parents," he told Ben.
"No... I was going to ask if you're okay."
"I'm fine." Mal chuckled at how confused and disappointed her boyfriend looked at the way Carlos grunted his answer, "Let's just get this over with."
