When I woke up for the first time, I remember seeing a glass of water and falling back asleep.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxRmkbuON1

I dreamed of the day my dad died.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtGwl6ZoVU
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG1FTGvIHu
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GSZVKvFjY
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLib93zQ44
"Hey Daddy?" I asked while we were getting out of the car.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RotDv0C2u
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cLaJdsOUa
"What is it?"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSroDEiitEf
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsQ4ZTTqqh
"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!?"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gx2LKJT7K
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvE2DSIL7t
"I guess but you have to promise to be careful. Okay?"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhBOBegiHU
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqo425rEfo
"Yay! Thank you! Thank you sooo much Daddy!"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXHvr8uSdE
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQRspEEKSe
We parked the car and hoped out. There wasn't a lot of people at the beach that day. Just a few families.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wP5qINMIH
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWOHoIjusY
"Come on Daddy! Let's go!" I yelled pulling him into the water.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8itZEYChj
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXejxDVJiS
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1oh37ihE7
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWpa4cCHYH
"Is this far enough, Ai?" He asked me.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiPysrYNal
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK3ZNCcb7I
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzKctbUQVV
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVS4aPqZg1
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIZXsMxCrc
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkthRNPQHd
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiSQPaXnAL
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGg9vlv2kB
A woman walked into the room and looked at me for a second.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqnPL4OJ5s
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4iHVz8tTi
"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?"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H7AtY1t7R
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WbeCTFjnV
"Only three," I said. "Where am I, what happened, and how long was I out for?"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShDuZbWbK1
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV9Am5403D
"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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYocR9Hzai
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6AH9hCfyN
"...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."564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTWQhaJGmc
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCiwssjS6U
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq3vgkhbJ7
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1jSqDxFoJ
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb560IK0ebe
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhFau0iC9P
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanXoXxnFAR
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauaiM4FUXp
I fell asleep that last night.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgosQPVoqa
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn1JFnROr3
"Hello there," said a voice I didn't know.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI20Qx8bsWZ
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHnndLkgQk
I opened my eyes and saw that I was in the middle of a fire. I screamed louder than I'd ever screamed before.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCujXTQUUu
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAsPDmghPr
"Help! Help! Please make it stop!"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7KarQT57j
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6H71jzkuq
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrmdYLJfq9
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nQOXVq82o
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTLuHFxni5
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIUs1bJzKL
"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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMYrMSdRMe
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj5bnmpJBI
I looked around but saw nothing.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWZDeJ3oYR
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xZqhq6Pg3
"Uh, down here."564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATlUEVrZ2j
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrYAzWGXtx
I looked down and saw a small white snake sitting in front of me.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LOzJ9O3e9
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOaHDzN4DW
"This is a dream right?" I asked the snake.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6MRkX4O3g
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29T2zywNoK
"No, no, no, my friend. This is real. It is made from a dream but it's all real."564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfgkcQwV1L
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5sRO0ud39
"Okay. That doesn't make sense."564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwASDaajEV
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAaSp1T7lf
"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?"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iP6zokj9L
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK9rHygKC1
"That would be great and all, but..."564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewevB0TLyM
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3oxZPmVLe
"Good!" The snake interrupted. "Then let's get going."564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuNSqSeo7w
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSlLM40qBP
"Going? To where?"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHeyv9c0EN
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKDLFfMVWj
"To Dreamland of course!"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY87A0Uqbka
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc48qrzL8r
A door appeared in the middle of the "room". I followed the little white snake through the door. We were standing on air.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5r5n3KjUj
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw7m7jYWhC
"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."564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kqQiU5Fsg
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIIKBWg1xn
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixIAGszUNd
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9HbqKaRkU
"You will also be able to master your powers here."564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwJZ28Qcj7
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFSeYgj3qz
"Powers?"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL20hoBDmM
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEK11fMcbs
"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."564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BZFQEqh2X
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cx1UTQGka
Controlling fire and water? This was an amazing yet terrifying dream. The very thought of being near fire or water made me shudder.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNsedP6UkR
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMswgE6pbNx
"This is no dream," the snake said suddenly interrupting my thoughts.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM3n3fucfC
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwsncka2cO
"Can you read my mind?"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMhCcfNybv
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKulnfEAJhQ
"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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kp0r9XhX9
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg9sZussOJ
"Okay! Okay! You've proved your point! This isn't a dream! I get that!"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygri1BF5fQ
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7bV8AVYZq
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JA94j8L0H
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKfH4o1nkR
"Good. Now let's continue with our tour."564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzWWAsyLwY
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfdOzDtt9n
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjopCLLFy7
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQPK0vNb2t
"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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufhGGPJek7
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5fHaIcH6x
"Positive!"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw7T4iirN7
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4Rlo0wrFp
"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!"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzMFmS4GWE
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCfMt1Dfho
I started to fall but landed on one of the giant bubbles I saw earlier. It slowly carried me down to the guild."564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9fBB3ZbSE
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjfV0aOG7c
"And Ai!" Fie yelled. "I forgot to tell you one thing!"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0aNyvBCy5
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnnKJT8OwA
"What!?"564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoTzgFfXOn
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTHeTOWdfD
