When I woke up for the first time, I remember seeing a glass of water and falling back asleep.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjl9Jf9P3E

I dreamed of the day my dad died.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqJA1zsFXo
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam3C0THzyD
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8xuhsBA0P
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq009Vw1vcI
"Hey Daddy?" I asked while we were getting out of the car.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvYzHLz0Hq
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGXPwXuuJI
"What is it?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtTTv1gwms
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwblDXO1Nqx
"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!?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwDKt0VRsC
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatiZhxRXiq
"I guess but you have to promise to be careful. Okay?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdI70JjGK1
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMflPayDZA2
"Yay! Thank you! Thank you sooo much Daddy!"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPOavFg4h5
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyAsUbk3c3
We parked the car and hoped out. There wasn't a lot of people at the beach that day. Just a few families.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpOV4AVBpb
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CrmQ95Pcw
"Come on Daddy! Let's go!" I yelled pulling him into the water.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M0EbQeJku
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XH0zs9W3S
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AfYMze2KO
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxfO8FyLom
"Is this far enough, Ai?" He asked me.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR56qWUUmwk
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQNTkQHjRp
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ0J7x2r9d
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVdzAlASqO
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWr4tYJ8qU
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqas0pLnhrP
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDeFiWSRwf
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILeBSoGhZr
A woman walked into the room and looked at me for a second.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0H4QqjRKq
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNke2ETjLXg
"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?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAmuttaqcf
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiC0t65yEJ
"Only three," I said. "Where am I, what happened, and how long was I out for?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvEDh31NO9
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL56NkreF6R
"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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rd41IRjxH
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC9ffd4gb7
"...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."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEChjHt81o7
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ810YI1k3uy
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GbTvdPIIA
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPXLNficUH
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLLco4xROm
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYYhkCgAJw
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa59jec8Y9
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq51hQEfUZv
I fell asleep that last night.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDebTT0nh9
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoBLNc4QpM
"Hello there," said a voice I didn't know.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3NWJwUg6y
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDSaLDd2cx
I opened my eyes and saw that I was in the middle of a fire. I screamed louder than I'd ever screamed before.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6gh8C3Kxe
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe9Wa7HEwi
"Help! Help! Please make it stop!"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAECdZ88aS
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9zN7cYajS
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmsaSTg1Dq
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0skC46foTm
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEayuTXWoSP
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojXNZnbjAF
"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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ2BbVzMg8
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfTZF2BPsr
I looked around but saw nothing.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmP6rFnkg4
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx7CDcYMIh
"Uh, down here."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbAWyoM2p6
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXIAMonPvz
I looked down and saw a small white snake sitting in front of me.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRq0FYBHxb
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv0LlN23q7
"This is a dream right?" I asked the snake.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ6N8tsUwf
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnpCEyv7fW
"No, no, no, my friend. This is real. It is made from a dream but it's all real."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCA8e6uOC7
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1bHzHXX09
"Okay. That doesn't make sense."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO15xv3QGoB
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxTFLLwS2m
"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?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIenN76657k
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnDtZuUlN6
"That would be great and all, but..."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZLiB7NMYn
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWhsIq0lal
"Good!" The snake interrupted. "Then let's get going."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTpr5ayS4a
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B51GoI4xO
"Going? To where?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiA47g8bAe
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4XKAqeXxi
"To Dreamland of course!"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSd7YKnqPy
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbtPo6OKKf
A door appeared in the middle of the "room". I followed the little white snake through the door. We were standing on air.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yk8OoWRyy
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2DTWbJBsn
"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."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzHhqdYAOb
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS4HaNLbnZ
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuBRFkJIQK
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SdARyWVVH
"You will also be able to master your powers here."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLqrmGQKHk
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUyRYqGmjT
"Powers?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjrDUPPo0o
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbcft746fz
"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."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r2pIomGEL
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIemp2f5uc7
Controlling fire and water? This was an amazing yet terrifying dream. The very thought of being near fire or water made me shudder.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc6pTIRj5e
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztwrbw6xRz
"This is no dream," the snake said suddenly interrupting my thoughts.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tEWFiHhqR
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNOy6ZqLHG
"Can you read my mind?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqsYjNQyQr
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33MuPJNdEs
"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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqwjZqcrZz
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswm7urQHoS
"Okay! Okay! You've proved your point! This isn't a dream! I get that!"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAd6nWyWiT
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAcmh6yT9y
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDHW4w9BXj
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyci3S88fd
"Good. Now let's continue with our tour."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnejNz2XqYK
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCnjdQYxqC
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQTrEtU4HQ
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggncPoqlnm
"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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E4UYSn3QL
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9To5E1Vom4
"Positive!"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF7Hamly4p
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiUR53gAgR
"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!"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPjVY8sL8w
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefUKeieKg7
I started to fall but landed on one of the giant bubbles I saw earlier. It slowly carried me down to the guild."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYtbIAWixq
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vH0xPtcJd
"And Ai!" Fie yelled. "I forgot to tell you one thing!"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal8Cgys7il
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dshS7j0x6
"What!?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEYrbq3BdR
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM8pIQmdYp
