I wake up on the hard muddy ground next to where a lake is. It’s cold, very cold. Pretty dark too. I get up and brush the dirt off my jeans. Where is everyone? Why am I in a forest?
I walk over to the lake and look into the water, where I see a blurry reflection of my face. I look different. I don’t look like myself...who am I?
A little boat is floating down the river. I jump onto the boat, and as it flows down the river I see animals; from tigers, to lions, to elephants and monkeys. They seem to be friendly. Why are they here though? Why am I here?
Do I have a purpose of being here? I’m so confused. I’ve just woken up in a dark forest all alone. It’s so quiet, all I hear is the sound of the water flowing and trees rustling in the wind.
I see a silhouette of human figure, standing near a tree. It kinda looks like my little sister.
“Brooke?”.
I called out. I see the figure slowly walking towards me.
“Oh hello, Ellie. Do you need a hand to get out of the boat?”.
She puts her hand out to me. I take her hand and she helps me out.
”Why are we here, Brooke?”,
I ask worriedly. She turns to me with a deep glare.
“I’m not allowed tell you...turn around”.
”Why?”.
”Just...do...it”, she says forcefully.
I’m scared. Why is my sister being so weird. Why is everything different. I don’t want to be here.
”Brooke, wh-“.
Just before I could even finish my sentence I felt a sharp shooting pain that went from my chest down to my toes. I looked down to see a knife plunged into my chest. My sister stabbed me. She pushes me to the ground. I let out a big scream which I could hear echo through the forest, but no one could help me, nor hear me, as there was still no one to be seen for probably miles.
It hurts. It hurts so much. I can feel myself dying. There’s so much blood pouring out of me. How could my sister do this? I loved her, and I thought she loved me.594Please respect copyright.PENANAVlHpfvd2dx
I see her standing in front of me looking down at me. Her face is starting to get blurry as my eyes are slowing shutting.

I wake up to my sister screaming from her bedroom. I ran through as quick as I could,

“Brooke, are you okay?”.
”Yeah, I just had a nightmare”.

I look at the time and it’s exactly 3:00am.

”It’s okay, it was just all a dream sweetheart, go back to sleep”.

I close her door and head back to my room.
I know it was just a dream, but I hope me and my sister are going to be okay...
