When I woke up for the first time, I remember seeing a glass of water and falling back asleep.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4cPajI8vC

I dreamed of the day my dad died.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFikQSfP06t
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaYpK1mH0Y
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mknmpxJcP
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStpxUhtvZI
"Hey Daddy?" I asked while we were getting out of the car.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjlgAFyKD1
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6hGMgmw6P
"What is it?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjETLIAOAzG
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhACmH9OXXL
"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!?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LMUhwEiXg
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLsFic4tXT
"I guess but you have to promise to be careful. Okay?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRAeM7hcHn
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpz01OWhKY
"Yay! Thank you! Thank you sooo much Daddy!"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GATNz8s6R
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC2hEr2E7o
We parked the car and hoped out. There wasn't a lot of people at the beach that day. Just a few families.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLYSxPJXD6
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L14SqLazW
"Come on Daddy! Let's go!" I yelled pulling him into the water.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1ScIeMK8Q
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVd0DT67RJ
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxTmb1O4P9
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnIVcZPKKg
"Is this far enough, Ai?" He asked me.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIOS9lfxeV
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NtL5gaK4x
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGatgOgCGj
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19SLm9BBHH
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLhyoCx6i7

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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDVVKUy1Pz
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlIur4ogOl
A woman walked into the room and looked at me for a second.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHDL5yf02U
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2Ns89fikZ
"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?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotfBZKytmj
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7da8lYanJp
"Only three," I said. "Where am I, what happened, and how long was I out for?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljXAZgiXgE
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS4mnUnw8P
"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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMovXAMtJlm
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDQN0UvMzU
"...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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqihExLyccM
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa68yaAL37n
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOged1OiePF
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbFa1Mxa9p
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp9kvhDrGU
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0RrnpYePH
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACEq5r8cIE
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bbed152bW
I fell asleep that last night.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS9ilFfAsX
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVz3by4lQE
"Hello there," said a voice I didn't know.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW9UvaUi6E
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiakI6ilrLu
I opened my eyes and saw that I was in the middle of a fire. I screamed louder than I'd ever screamed before.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBrZVT3PKt
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVNmypxNQz
"Help! Help! Please make it stop!"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFW6tUGS9d
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDvg4Dk3QR
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4V6vTTMsC
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolQL9ocjRG
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2DJwRDMt0
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSRbd4nnem
"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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeju8hsycIS
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgEHYp9412
I looked around but saw nothing.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr2FneJB1t
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY9Sx6nVcN
"Uh, down here."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4aeqKdm1r
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fmek8QR6z
I looked down and saw a small white snake sitting in front of me.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK1JMMWKJn
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIPbVY2a2d
"This is a dream right?" I asked the snake.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UugXWH8aQ
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19jEeG34bV
"No, no, no, my friend. This is real. It is made from a dream but it's all real."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM5cGs5wzg
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoO3TXmxLT
"Okay. That doesn't make sense."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrRpm5Kt6U
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbZDUtbXIo
"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?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX8zWKncx1
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf9bmqeOli
"That would be great and all, but..."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bh26LD8xX
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtwZ5nBNAo
"Good!" The snake interrupted. "Then let's get going."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwszYO8JTig
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIqJBN3CPY
"Going? To where?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuI26g13bX
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDINwN1epvs
"To Dreamland of course!"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj5CiErJUz
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEMM2ZHdov
A door appeared in the middle of the "room". I followed the little white snake through the door. We were standing on air.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXNyP69LkX
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxRPC75b9P
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiAViufGVr
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtp2Dp7ezV
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKjh6Ft8TP
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SOlnuOnOt
"You will also be able to master your powers here."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc6fRMhEm7
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrrZxfwTov
"Powers?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3fAqsdqGr
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ347JWeq7dK
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tIXWutuKQ
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ME2rk4mRY
Controlling fire and water? This was an amazing yet terrifying dream. The very thought of being near fire or water made me shudder.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzwmV8duDg
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5wV7RmAMk
"This is no dream," the snake said suddenly interrupting my thoughts.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR5a6UNLcC
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K61lHO0LX
"Can you read my mind?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbHwu5DnhO
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIr5MBv2go
"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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDrpnm79d2
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJPNg8KCiy
"Okay! Okay! You've proved your point! This isn't a dream! I get that!"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcgeBPI1TM
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlXHdRM8Ht
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXonjdEzelM
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f0m02md4y
"Good. Now let's continue with our tour."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY06l85105w
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ssgaC87zO
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9XbJrSv20
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdCwnp1a2h
"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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1PXCJsNiC
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rlFsOKRp3
"Positive!"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtGFvxF70T
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYsMz7pnVU
"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!"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYS8qZ4ZMI
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCCzMI4c2S
I started to fall but landed on one of the giant bubbles I saw earlier. It slowly carried me down to the guild."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFf45G5JFa
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUqhNB2xUU
"And Ai!" Fie yelled. "I forgot to tell you one thing!"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMHbYeuKkZ
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNvO7EpYDW
"What!?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYmOVcPiCJ
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCnbT2XNQR
