When I woke up for the first time, I remember seeing a glass of water and falling back asleep.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut2MG7gH57

I dreamed of the day my dad died.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7i2PILc4f
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRojmNazreA
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxWCQAOB6G
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFILFZDH2n
"Hey Daddy?" I asked while we were getting out of the car.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIDXV7HbHu
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIYG7JcP5o
"What is it?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJV0KKE5bH
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EIEqjk1oV
"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!?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0steb7pQgQ
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuaWQ7hGj6
"I guess but you have to promise to be careful. Okay?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiY3LmGLZT
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3SfmTCMJQ
"Yay! Thank you! Thank you sooo much Daddy!"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiZrrQCetU
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxExZZNMBMw
We parked the car and hoped out. There wasn't a lot of people at the beach that day. Just a few families.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsECMfI2pz
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfXReKo3ma
"Come on Daddy! Let's go!" I yelled pulling him into the water.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFHDHhGQVV
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2163gmwbcn
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxapyheN7A
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQoBfSGbwL
"Is this far enough, Ai?" He asked me.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUAZ6pM8kt
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3057YHjgIC
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgs4ypeIeN
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN2qUevJFJ
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8dentbzEY

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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Eg0hRUgPP
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1ZnF8zccr
A woman walked into the room and looked at me for a second.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EpwnQGTYR
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDwDGIUH4o
"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?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rwh0m0wi6
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXiO0EafSQ
"Only three," I said. "Where am I, what happened, and how long was I out for?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt6uTK474Y
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJusYI0vmg
"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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXHjOnBGUn
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXXs0t0hIh
"...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."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFjMCBG28Y
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv2Z3kilBX
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvVa7KNUhZ
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdeBmnibCz
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt7d7P8G01
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJsIM2xk2l
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCnYsoNTLd
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJiBCIUkxR
I fell asleep that last night.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoUOR8XyFl
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8o6VBME5q
"Hello there," said a voice I didn't know.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDDa20aoDY
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd9ZefDtBQ
I opened my eyes and saw that I was in the middle of a fire. I screamed louder than I'd ever screamed before.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA8KEmLd8h
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvBvMu4DZ4
"Help! Help! Please make it stop!"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RF4vuQaH5
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfeIMbH0Lh
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIBRU2UyX9
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbpJ7K2ITW
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm9IZTcJ1b
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWzvRPmpTQ
"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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVIV2jtvAJ
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdk7u848TZ
I looked around but saw nothing.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm72GzHSkbL
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9HA2vgp56
"Uh, down here."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zPVVOcu8d
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tkSvj5EI1
I looked down and saw a small white snake sitting in front of me.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qsLYOf74z
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD50T7CASt
"This is a dream right?" I asked the snake.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbtiojtLm2
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJTHjaPxuP
"No, no, no, my friend. This is real. It is made from a dream but it's all real."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQbK5Ui7ry
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleXfm9uXoC
"Okay. That doesn't make sense."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGAEfKmerD
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFY0xXR2LI
"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?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1rSmDIiT5
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9cXhMKvpo
"That would be great and all, but..."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGfFTh42vc
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq9pvWonvx
"Good!" The snake interrupted. "Then let's get going."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEfc49gfc3
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreghJQ1E10
"Going? To where?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq2w8F5JpX
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfULk6GvSDk
"To Dreamland of course!"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV66SslZ7Uh
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCvSMuTZR1
A door appeared in the middle of the "room". I followed the little white snake through the door. We were standing on air.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcvc8kwAaI
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ENmfZxbea
"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."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ns6HBr6gT
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjX1XXqnPI
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ789GReh5i
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4uX4YdKfB
"You will also be able to master your powers here."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcSvQEO0Sw
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNDtMnRUpt
"Powers?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxpca588pU
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaah4c49ZqC
"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."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5E0hBqxqP
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHjVH6JQgA
Controlling fire and water? This was an amazing yet terrifying dream. The very thought of being near fire or water made me shudder.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2kNMkEtVa
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwtHEI5l1T
"This is no dream," the snake said suddenly interrupting my thoughts.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEcqqkIIm4
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYBCM3m1ts
"Can you read my mind?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ03rIs9I2
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oPRqF9QXO
"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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0GcUyRoZq
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aVBh3uxlx
"Okay! Okay! You've proved your point! This isn't a dream! I get that!"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC9ETq5ZCa
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5O6px658i
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDjYxMxS0J
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOme6Rr1vD
"Good. Now let's continue with our tour."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFTFCg4MGJ
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyvW5uZcrp
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneMNqphnFD
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45vsRfXBv5
"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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhsaKSvHwj
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauIgXtoG5c
"Positive!"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXZNe9HqeL
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrNVWKIXzK
"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!"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx9CqiWMTx
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtgZJu24wT
I started to fall but landed on one of the giant bubbles I saw earlier. It slowly carried me down to the guild."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIMLbPDPN8
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZueAuWPSRH
"And Ai!" Fie yelled. "I forgot to tell you one thing!"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstmELNgKs0
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyKxD2eFuu
"What!?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eaMoXdvKF
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJyEDmzTcx
"Live!"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zF8OoXqS1
