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

I dreamed of the day my dad died.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK16Ivpr2vU
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjpPNRvigM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIVHfSIAqc
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cye3jhwre
"Hey Daddy?" I asked while we were getting out of the car.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSsvk5d2di
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nvhAVFzNi
"What is it?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEpEIgGgr5
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDjvvpmtDI
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yCtKlmTKS
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtBuU1EIdq
"I guess but you have to promise to be careful. Okay?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkm6UTBSVE
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNvSF80NkA
"Yay! Thank you! Thank you sooo much Daddy!"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcegorLVnLn
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0N5IG21WB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsC1psQFtR
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfqWgS7ivr
"Come on Daddy! Let's go!" I yelled pulling him into the water.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu8sFkJtNs
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaSuOncqHL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyX6EM8kNo
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dmdSOg6iz
"Is this far enough, Ai?" He asked me.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MApSIr2oB
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu8eWvb7qC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIWWYBuZPM
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFAntK3SQj
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dsBTjUykN
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fp3Bv8WrO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MhMJWmO6c
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs9MMZLYGP
A woman walked into the room and looked at me for a second.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGdtXoeN1P
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2hk3cL9na
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7sKsLfwVI
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuruwMZStGv
"Only three," I said. "Where am I, what happened, and how long was I out for?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTWZrhRSrx
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnJZqE6W00
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8caoi7Sfc
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRFKxDqChh
"...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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tJVwuOtcb
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQeSkIBdg3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUtIHVRK5f
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZo3c3WZ4u
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1mmWAdcsA
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjotSXzqJy
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGMlEjWHva
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg7MInXkNj
I fell asleep that last night.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6MikvGsII
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxLBHzg0Dy
"Hello there," said a voice I didn't know.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGeFw8y64b
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡediujZjlfj
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q5toVQmkx
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYwdex77gW
"Help! Help! Please make it stop!"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrmQOIHT2s
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwelDeGk7M2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8fKYnJOuL
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8c4h1DzsD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb9AU6mxAd
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECLqSlH1wo
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI87qeapsVO
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYCWPxEWTR
I looked around but saw nothing.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEom6w9t9x
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOSYbn1gnq
"Uh, down here."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW9ujIWXsC
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptfqRxUUgQ
I looked down and saw a small white snake sitting in front of me.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhU21yDijU
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFtwPCSTOB
"This is a dream right?" I asked the snake.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnYxtIcMea
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufA7f7bdwc
"No, no, no, my friend. This is real. It is made from a dream but it's all real."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AR2Hp5iRi
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumFMbMMzjh
"Okay. That doesn't make sense."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCbPoWOJMn
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIGwQQmDRi
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAwEo4pocr
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfggszepvE
"That would be great and all, but..."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvMpGm8DTt
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4Z0B5Bvs6
"Good!" The snake interrupted. "Then let's get going."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrypOu0Kza
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDatIIeVe8F
"Going? To where?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgyyJkjylP
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2QLswnV6X
"To Dreamland of course!"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EKVEWP4Qs
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvzsRGfYFZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKnoDuvzOT
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgj3RDNo99
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlzWgDTQLd
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNB5esJ2H1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmClMXjwvD2
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR2avwC8vU
"You will also be able to master your powers here."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy9ERsZbuU
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYPtEgxKp4
"Powers?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjcgKzGDSa
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaa7SsjbZe
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPEBVMPmh2
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnRBF76sWz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpY9QWM9AD
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvoLitmjIU
"This is no dream," the snake said suddenly interrupting my thoughts.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzHpfFUpBy
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUN8I4S7HC
"Can you read my mind?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2HOWK7Jr0
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1I06FfW4N
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ9TDbTn8O
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU8DyY547G
"Okay! Okay! You've proved your point! This isn't a dream! I get that!"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLosEkmlUqp
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbIxVN64lB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zSH2uNCfy
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKuPud7g6d
"Good. Now let's continue with our tour."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8oAUOhIDu
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTxB7MfZ7Y
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXadtyjyJL6
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSGZBrCuwZ
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1QW37HPL0
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9eEKZJ70M
"Positive!"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L8ZB6OYGP
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMerYJAzX0C
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqra2bhAR2
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFYaqWpQsc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0EY2wSI8U
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4yMg55kPD
"And Ai!" Fie yelled. "I forgot to tell you one thing!"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlBZTmZBOx
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDqjXNTfXr
"What!?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEokHihrFcy
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshXbPnFEpo
