When I woke up for the first time, I remember seeing a glass of water and falling back asleep.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmOnMa0fxo

I dreamed of the day my dad died.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgxC2QH2t8
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPBroi2NSQ
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmZLOTrZ9R
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26MfMl4Gxz
"Hey Daddy?" I asked while we were getting out of the car.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCai7woyBLN
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTlUmGJVuG
"What is it?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLFvFH3T0e
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsir72X6MM
"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!?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuQyiBRcT2
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBZnlOM3Fy
"I guess but you have to promise to be careful. Okay?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpChpV8jfR
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYjXReQJmG
"Yay! Thank you! Thank you sooo much Daddy!"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBROJgIlNQC
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaSACv4r1E
We parked the car and hoped out. There wasn't a lot of people at the beach that day. Just a few families.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g4f2FBQbg
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy2EOMh9BZ
"Come on Daddy! Let's go!" I yelled pulling him into the water.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RmkbMSQBZ
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3hVFkRcei
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcnMECfCJQ
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eonL65Alj
"Is this far enough, Ai?" He asked me.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGRknDw1aY
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS0i9KBpcn
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5TUWctWi5
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5VoJFm49l
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUiAvQp17n
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k0seGdGha
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqmoy4KLMg
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGThvR1wpZI
A woman walked into the room and looked at me for a second.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNB9WwUm4j
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS9U77Y2pa
"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?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwbr02g5Gq
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz0ntcGWPN
"Only three," I said. "Where am I, what happened, and how long was I out for?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOWr8Hpytt
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ukunn0LWr
"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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBz7OmKM6t
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAK9zkjNqC
"...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."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKr9pQTghF
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHEj9XKWlJ
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPudxZe4RHO
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bZcaCcXDf
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH46yzSwsd
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhkGm8WHdu
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xlyHE8Doo
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTookBabbx3
I fell asleep that last night.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡastEOq1AIP
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd4WeZD9fP
"Hello there," said a voice I didn't know.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ73ZSsMZYG
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ0iKrradv
I opened my eyes and saw that I was in the middle of a fire. I screamed louder than I'd ever screamed before.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1gafGDir3
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8Y8rzcnWq
"Help! Help! Please make it stop!"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4ALweGyUV
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlXwQSXRUE
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81vLANRfUD
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVg1Q6ic9X
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vZ531ebuX
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY2T1Re8Fg
"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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauPQXPf1qV
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbmxtWuTbQ
I looked around but saw nothing.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvQJrwvnjR
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTZjHq15gu
"Uh, down here."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV0B6furMd
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlacdw7Gr9K
I looked down and saw a small white snake sitting in front of me.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2izdJqcv8
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL78yLAeqj
"This is a dream right?" I asked the snake.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrCxCsAzoy
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVVVz2XnYE
"No, no, no, my friend. This is real. It is made from a dream but it's all real."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDWn7l02HB
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKTglypHDd
"Okay. That doesn't make sense."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWYVvxkWWu
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgG51jvK3l
"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?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOkvT4HikX
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEMxpFLHkw
"That would be great and all, but..."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Tbwq1160
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcjFeDGiUT
"Good!" The snake interrupted. "Then let's get going."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YKkgujWcY
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1slAv40XJ
"Going? To where?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Enl103vB
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjubLiCtzt0
"To Dreamland of course!"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwctweChoo
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmwaYrzzFi
A door appeared in the middle of the "room". I followed the little white snake through the door. We were standing on air.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMPGpiu94d
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaK6DfJwxF
"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."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBF8LobvWs
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfKEhF0le6
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB7m8wg2be
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx2v7rM0tI
"You will also be able to master your powers here."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoYUoGO5Tv
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEMoFZaR9j
"Powers?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYJaS0RdTe
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmga9qisRN
"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."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr4oOzh80H
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq4xLX8m1K
Controlling fire and water? This was an amazing yet terrifying dream. The very thought of being near fire or water made me shudder.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2sByNmg1T
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CHKHAEFNo
"This is no dream," the snake said suddenly interrupting my thoughts.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMbDw20gkq
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8k84W29Uz
"Can you read my mind?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdGT17FQ3m
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO3NOhWjWd
"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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nZJJ5WOms
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFJwVeIbAk
"Okay! Okay! You've proved your point! This isn't a dream! I get that!"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PZexoGJs2
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu7TDnK6jh
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYAoIYknc8
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWHf0x6FGp
"Good. Now let's continue with our tour."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJTSo20MOJ
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVWrLsY7QM
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyruMbrmlP
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU5SHBx07t
"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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol7OoVbmfo
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JiQZMSQUk
"Positive!"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOYQ7hWyzm
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtyxBDsa6z
"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!"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18ok0VlYZa
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPkmB9anw7
I started to fall but landed on one of the giant bubbles I saw earlier. It slowly carried me down to the guild."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjQqiOmcVU
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaGohzGfHX
"And Ai!" Fie yelled. "I forgot to tell you one thing!"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZphAjLXsq
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGJ8TtFjNn
"What!?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoMVOpVopZ
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcmjCRqzeL
"Live!"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQInbkcVJ8z
