When I woke up for the first time, I remember seeing a glass of water and falling back asleep.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwoRmzg6DY

I dreamed of the day my dad died.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kv39up79Z
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdwBLO3U3C
We drove to the beach that morning. I was eight years old and dad said that he wanted to take me out to do something fun and I had happily said the beach.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0AV73HDWe
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZSSP4HoAY
"Hey Daddy?" I asked while we were getting out of the car.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0EXD0CVOt
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoYbwq1XgR
"What is it?"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsdJbTeSj9
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTHtZsJLZm
"Do you think you can swim really far out with me? I wanna see what it feels like not to be able to touch the ground! Please!?"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wwncFgF4S
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MjGbOzXjl
"I guess but you have to promise to be careful. Okay?"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3ATDAvALs
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNhJGUcw9S
"Yay! Thank you! Thank you sooo much Daddy!"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudM9cIAIXD
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHuJW8ZDZT
We parked the car and hoped out. There wasn't a lot of people at the beach that day. Just a few families.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXbAHHyJ7z
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZfkdMNYAz
"Come on Daddy! Let's go!" I yelled pulling him into the water.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRrco6wnEv
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI01kn6rGw
He dropped our stuff and walked into the water with me. We swam for a while and I decided I was ready to go deeper. He swam next to me until we got to a point where he couldn't touch.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUAhwxV5f2
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbBZqepdyT
"Is this far enough, Ai?" He asked me.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIpnAgXQ8V
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpHNYwr3ng
I nodded. I felt so awesome to be the same height as him. I felt so tall! Suddenly, something latched onto my foot. It felt really sharp and painful latch itself onto my foot. I started to scream but was cut off by being pulled under the water. I looked down and saw what I thought at the time was the worlds biggest fish biting my ankle. I tried to swim away and saw Dad swimming down towards me.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkazOTVTrRE
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kknPp3uEb
I was starting to run out of breath. Dad pried the fishes mouth open and pushed me towards the surface. Unfortunately the fish had found new prey, his hand. Dad was pulled deeper and deeper into the water. That was the last I ever saw of dad and the reason I'm terrified of water.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzr0qmXylH
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25f28CjcZS
I woke up, back to reality. I was string up at what looked like a whit roof, but after what I've been through it could've been Heaven. Too bad it was just a hospital. I looked around and saw that I was hooked to some machines. I looked to my left and saw flowers.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgCYEImeLb
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdslDAf19Pj
A woman walked into the room and looked at me for a second.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQKfGYAgW3
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI41LKX6c9
"Good morning, Ai," she said walking over to the machines. She checked the machines and then looked back at me. "It looks like your doing well. Do you have any questions?"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K7KD3ofoh
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1vMQBtHrr
"Only three," I said. "Where am I, what happened, and how long was I out for?"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qnVK6XGBr
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOABsvbpQu
"You are in a hospital that was nearby your house. You've been out for a week." She have me a sympathetic look. "And as for what happened. I don't think your ready for that." She switched on the TV. "Just press this button if you need anything okay?" She pointed to a small button on the counter next to me.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IT1A1C7yl
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3w9Wvo0Uv
"...there was said to be one survivor," the TV said. "After running into her house in an attempt to save her family, Ai Hope was said to be the only survivor of the fire."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqiKuLQIZB
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PmSbvRj7d
Every memory came back to me. I looked up to the TV and saw a video of the fire playing on the screen. My heart started to beat faster. I ripped the iv out of my arm and ran into the bathroom. I pulled the hospital gown off and saw all the burn marks on my body. The fire had also singed the tips of my hair. The only place that wasn't touched by the fire was my face. I looked on my right shoulder and saw the handprint mark that my mom had left on me.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tR2bLMDGg
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVqk2Q7kNK
I pulled the hospital gown back on and walked slowly to the bed I had been asleep on for the past week. I laid down and felt a year fall down my cheek. All of the burn marks on my body started to burn. Something also stung that hadn't bothered me in a while. The scar from being bitten from that big fish all those years ago. Now I had two great fears that were completely the opposite of one another. I was terrified of both fire and water.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzXxG1rGeJ
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi0w9b6dVz
Over the next few day, people came on and out of the room. I didn't really care what they did. I just looked out the window at the sky. I didn't eat much, didn't drink much, didn't do much. Four days passed by without me noticing.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvIQGQMz0f
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08bEJl67ke
I fell asleep that last night.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnWm6PmTvF
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHzLshvL3D
"Hello there," said a voice I didn't know.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PPczRsZVm
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBwg5784Gz
I opened my eyes and saw that I was in the middle of a fire. I screamed louder than I'd ever screamed before.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zA6QyZef8
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DLJwpIWVs
"Help! Help! Please make it stop!"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7mvzX8dOA
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhttVdyziG3
Suddenly I was sinking in water. I tried to scream for help but when I opened my mouth it filled with water. I struggled and tried to swim. For some reason, I couldn't swim. I could only go down.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xZRolQtzu
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5TH4xA6cV
Then I was in a whit room. Not the hospital room. I wasn't sure if it was even a room. White just went on and on for what looked like miles.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz6gZqT2yy
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVpU2ez9ad
"So you're afraid of both fire and water? Weird. Normally people who are afraid of water find comfort in the warmth of fire. And people who are afraid of fire find comfort in the coolness of water. You will be a powerful one," The voice I didn't know said again.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT4T9vpHSz
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhlUgz85gG
I looked around but saw nothing.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueqROQcr5z
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz7YngbgpP
"Uh, down here."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjPfmKVKos
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dbE6xPVgP
I looked down and saw a small white snake sitting in front of me.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOTkKv9UjB
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0zSOUc5Pw
"This is a dream right?" I asked the snake.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGOr63lD4k
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzBwBZnXwE
"No, no, no, my friend. This is real. It is made from a dream but it's all real."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cW8KxjMmJ
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocemzzrCDl
"Okay. That doesn't make sense."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA5ESJBC3I
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkUuPPvFK1
"It will in time. But first I would like to ask you a question. Do you want to live a new life? A life in a world where you can conquer your fears? Where everything you thought was fake is made real?"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJesP3ZFRnL
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XimPwTWB9
"That would be great and all, but..."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhULejLRYla
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8kkuCZojE
"Good!" The snake interrupted. "Then let's get going."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy6bi2TC26
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90cZm36vPy
"Going? To where?"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNQhLSRMkH
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZTGmneVYr
"To Dreamland of course!"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjvpH3VsPL
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8XXCFyt2h
A door appeared in the middle of the "room". I followed the little white snake through the door. We were standing on air.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGPKZ8YNnP
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnKEPq6UGO
"This is Dreamland. Here you can live a new life and conquer your fears. I'm going to give you a tour of Dreamland, but after that your on your own. Our first stop is the guild. This is where I will drop you off and where you can start your new life in Dreamland."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIxdUfmlej
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiePLixG8oo
I looked down at a large colorful building. It looked like something you'd see in a fairy tale. It had bubbles coming in and out of the chimney. Some of them had people riding on rope of them. At one point, I think I saw lightning strike the building.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bwCm2Hlsa
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AWfOLtGzs
"You will also be able to master your powers here."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hQvzqnec7
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3f8Db9aWy
"Powers?"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmoRnroyrF
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFVSwz5trA
"Yes. Each person who enters Dreamland is given powers based on their fears. Your powers will be fire and water. Almost nobody in Dreamland has two powers. Actually there are only a few. The only reason you have two is because you fear fire and water both equally. Not many people have fears as great as yours."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrsRWYkkTl
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMD5X9INGK
Controlling fire and water? This was an amazing yet terrifying dream. The very thought of being near fire or water made me shudder.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLJ1tCnJTv
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1g9kSGBdn
"This is no dream," the snake said suddenly interrupting my thoughts.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqif0r4pYR3
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTVszC0PVh
"Can you read my mind?"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLVUsgNLKK
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7trv5swEM
"Yes. And I have proof that this is no dream." The snake suddenly bit onto my leg. I felt a stinging pain in my leg.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJhL6GNKl9
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKLw3nuopW
"Okay! Okay! You've proved your point! This isn't a dream! I get that!"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxq9INYzO1
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaihACQfTG
He let go. I looked at my leg and saw a small line of blood drip down my leg. This really wasn't a dream.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJgjloCYAn
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaCcmBDRtE
"Good. Now let's continue with our tour."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfRzxwaatG
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeUtuj5UE2
He took me around the entire world of Dreamland. I saw things I thought would never exist. I saw mythical animals, people who weren't human, and what I was most amazed by was how backwards thing were here. Waterfalls that fell up, grass that grew upside down, and things like that.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbNrvNANrG
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5tWqhMeJU
"Are you ready to go live your new life? After this you can never go back to your life on earth. Are you sure you don't want me to take you back now?" The snake asked.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTvxjFN4Qo
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoo8hR9Ejr
"Positive!"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJaNQdvASC
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePW7xODUwm
"Good. And my name isn't the snake, by the way, it's Fie. It was nice meeting you Miss Hope. Have a good life in Dreamland!"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5aVnlYhIo
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MIGRHQWSH
I started to fall but landed on one of the giant bubbles I saw earlier. It slowly carried me down to the guild."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCYxnhkcd1
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueES5Di7PM
"And Ai!" Fie yelled. "I forgot to tell you one thing!"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK97MS5HU04
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vGcZXe9Kt
"What!?"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0tahNyZsm
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlThsKC67bL
"Live!"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugpgEcW5Vg
