When I woke up for the first time, I remember seeing a glass of water and falling back asleep.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuSCmQb4K6

I dreamed of the day my dad died.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5cHQMSuJw
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP93hM2HESW
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAgfSZtN9r
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcAtVjC5X2
"Hey Daddy?" I asked while we were getting out of the car.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMDbnYlb0O
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7DTtuMLhB
"What is it?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYEavigDBj
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENcfl1GRNK
"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!?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67dsixQgch
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcZTh1aoAv
"I guess but you have to promise to be careful. Okay?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiflIbGHr8
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcFUEZ8m7i
"Yay! Thank you! Thank you sooo much Daddy!"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaKtE4ZFUS
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMFO67tD0h
We parked the car and hoped out. There wasn't a lot of people at the beach that day. Just a few families.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUSpxQnbgV
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWIFoYZEX5
"Come on Daddy! Let's go!" I yelled pulling him into the water.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD9KN7XgRW
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vqr5VCkpX
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKXx1yXCjL
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9WafXYn7t
"Is this far enough, Ai?" He asked me.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlmARjbY1s
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGlOF45DJj
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9pp6MHEQZ
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDEk9GKoKm
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaQ9DripQd
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIUxaFC94h
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHWMldjuBl
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRIbbJjr0s
A woman walked into the room and looked at me for a second.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1H883eZ6e
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyVsazC2YG
"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?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRBQwVodXi
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfmxr7TGHX
"Only three," I said. "Where am I, what happened, and how long was I out for?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXRN07gDi9
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY56zjZGh6
"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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaPmvniYmd
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLZuTlmE5B
"...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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCgOHujdEN
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnB2gjoZTJ
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM4CqoPSNk
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfac1c7Bo0
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7JoaIdYVD
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhto8FsM80U
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZba9Idhd9I
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfljTwedOm
I fell asleep that last night.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXb0dyAj3G
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdjvEsgpol
"Hello there," said a voice I didn't know.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFRN4gxJ9S
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bwepA9ceR
I opened my eyes and saw that I was in the middle of a fire. I screamed louder than I'd ever screamed before.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTIOD2NxGU
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV2pVM6Y9w
"Help! Help! Please make it stop!"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO1zcpLjBF
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcAtNUfG7Q
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OVc702tfl
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMrnaB13Gc
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDvG8nYQjU
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfQi36nBqF
"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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3fbUdkevh
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s64CamM2f
I looked around but saw nothing.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5anMvgJH3i
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GZnprdSTd
"Uh, down here."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM5myVUAWt
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGBMG2TkZJ
I looked down and saw a small white snake sitting in front of me.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrEBLMZzvV
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHVybHlr1d
"This is a dream right?" I asked the snake.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mJLmjxiJ5
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiilLEzITON
"No, no, no, my friend. This is real. It is made from a dream but it's all real."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOojUgaThS
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNKDtmckMj
"Okay. That doesn't make sense."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtdExUB6WO
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhx40XwGvH
"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?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvJEaKPvkX
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTOrFY9CYn
"That would be great and all, but..."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7vG9CoEGy
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnQxrEWisP
"Good!" The snake interrupted. "Then let's get going."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9MiFgLXT7
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEYdzNQIOu
"Going? To where?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLHuWzsuWu
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx7BOfKUWv
"To Dreamland of course!"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBMZqmBicA
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIUsCxZfQn
A door appeared in the middle of the "room". I followed the little white snake through the door. We were standing on air.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ujkDC57GD
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIgCCVW1fD
"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSuk1GNpje
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31A4F0Mjx3
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8wAIhEnbl
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKJvZ1XkSf
"You will also be able to master your powers here."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNiUJXGBTg
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKF56y2s0I
"Powers?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBiyO7Jv5K
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8adXfYN4c
"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4P8WFqwu6
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWT9sbV9RI
Controlling fire and water? This was an amazing yet terrifying dream. The very thought of being near fire or water made me shudder.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2RpvY2370
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjxT4emIqn
"This is no dream," the snake said suddenly interrupting my thoughts.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwKM1Gf9oV
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ab9xLXip9
"Can you read my mind?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEelNvvmvh5
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjmfuYL2Ci
"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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d1XA9g1xJ
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaerIJ3Sony
"Okay! Okay! You've proved your point! This isn't a dream! I get that!"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ylYzfWyOV
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5swIVEmviJ
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WcFzCRSaG
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qDhwdAu4k
"Good. Now let's continue with our tour."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLUHOkoQjy
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGZifOcli8
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pntDDdArE
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpnjx4Pdbi
"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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAJHiXgvLi
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNOlJDJtA3
"Positive!"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpyOI7j7Y1
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MWxJPnlZG
"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!"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsT1J6KJlU
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmawTBQJXw
I started to fall but landed on one of the giant bubbles I saw earlier. It slowly carried me down to the guild."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrJlIyxqT1
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRBEz9jzC3
"And Ai!" Fie yelled. "I forgot to tell you one thing!"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAS1O02R1O
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0ufMLwXv3
"What!?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkckC6C9fRa
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlF7vvE9xc
"Live!"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU2K86bbzy
