When I woke up for the first time, I remember seeing a glass of water and falling back asleep.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVD5Px97EE

I dreamed of the day my dad died.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcJKkdGc1U
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidAM2tsNb3
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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q9XL7pXxN
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV1okhu7Ud
"Hey Daddy?" I asked while we were getting out of the car.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFHZloqj5e
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEhtHlhccB
"What is it?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOHgKv6Lbt
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyPGBByZou
"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!?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkHx2DK9Se
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84iVufWcoc
"I guess but you have to promise to be careful. Okay?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiJ2v7G5Kd
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2ttdxDaLm
"Yay! Thank you! Thank you sooo much Daddy!"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dj7nR7upH
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT0H9Ey2FQ
We parked the car and hoped out. There wasn't a lot of people at the beach that day. Just a few families.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmym2aRQNKe
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao1J1qAO5r
"Come on Daddy! Let's go!" I yelled pulling him into the water.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IY13KhvNb
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPmTCcV0Sz
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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMECUztmI7
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYgAxnaLjM
"Is this far enough, Ai?" He asked me.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsKMtRLQNL
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79J3kEMEmt
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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8yJVt7KKQ
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq7UeF4RzV
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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRBPM6w45J
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj9SlljLh8
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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWogonW7gW
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XFlBFuo2A
A woman walked into the room and looked at me for a second.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQIjM6W6Jn
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKyK52uQxr
"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?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeZ0RjA3kI
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkpKjUSyF9
"Only three," I said. "Where am I, what happened, and how long was I out for?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDw6bsBR9U
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1kFlIdqRs
"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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqbjysjZTJ
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgkC1PZ3JR
"...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."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKn3gXMqOq
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYdD6mF3ks
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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgustpINE5
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSZvnzj1YH
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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FVz7hYUqg
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWN45kvV0h
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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU07cCkTOF
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeCX9xuspb
I fell asleep that last night.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZJhWz5Cml
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgm6MqoXFW
"Hello there," said a voice I didn't know.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIhVEbLv7C
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtGoSeW5WF
I opened my eyes and saw that I was in the middle of a fire. I screamed louder than I'd ever screamed before.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMlm9s8XVO
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0SeDNlpyf
"Help! Help! Please make it stop!"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZl1X4ElW2
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSDpFvYw5p
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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSUbYwhuNc
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1ftU28KSA
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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRrIVBFjGf
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VfGTKAtg4
"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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtoHnH8kh4
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7iRN7gyu4
I looked around but saw nothing.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDjOkl68Ko
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyViwGk7dG
"Uh, down here."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfPYKjz9ex
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqfTKMNKWM
I looked down and saw a small white snake sitting in front of me.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosHq52kjwf
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyxd9si9b8
"This is a dream right?" I asked the snake.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cJODdXitq
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCHJshqAsp
"No, no, no, my friend. This is real. It is made from a dream but it's all real."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15kmcXNFmb
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zaUnTxZCM
"Okay. That doesn't make sense."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oM8z7LVlh
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEM4cQ65mZ
"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?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO6xeGaxX2
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacNGxzqkYH
"That would be great and all, but..."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdoqBfLR4P
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zXh7HGCHP
"Good!" The snake interrupted. "Then let's get going."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIbosWP6um
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa4QCUc0Nq
"Going? To where?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtI68dhZLF
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHNC1hdSq6
"To Dreamland of course!"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbpbhXJZyY
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIauycaiaoN
A door appeared in the middle of the "room". I followed the little white snake through the door. We were standing on air.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58fD8hPAqA
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ84dSkGBBK
"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."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS37pzb20X
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49pHMePv6I
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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGoRSkFTg3
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlzHCR5msp
"You will also be able to master your powers here."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzoWcza4Ap
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oHuQFaDl6
"Powers?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYAahIrzot
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYoPRodbon
"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."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxPzCyjjZN
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaTy2nheCc
Controlling fire and water? This was an amazing yet terrifying dream. The very thought of being near fire or water made me shudder.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RXpzCMr6X
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXFSCL2RWY
"This is no dream," the snake said suddenly interrupting my thoughts.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrwdZstdtb
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T4WKtI4Iw
"Can you read my mind?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI03ziHmk8H
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu38k9bIf3
"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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH3576gmrF
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8Q6OA0QzW
"Okay! Okay! You've proved your point! This isn't a dream! I get that!"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdij5gig98g
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXYjpCP4bx
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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2OrWoaXzd
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxKeTKxBdD
"Good. Now let's continue with our tour."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrAqj1EZx0
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6mLCzyJfN
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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFgbTmgLXx
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAJcUY5pxD
"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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03CJxb6Cjb
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnIjjrOp98
"Positive!"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qUVaRYcfs
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL6nAsdwXl
"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!"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsMQAqqsgG
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqW3oVU9Ps
I started to fall but landed on one of the giant bubbles I saw earlier. It slowly carried me down to the guild."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAkaIUqozv
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghe7LM8Hpo
"And Ai!" Fie yelled. "I forgot to tell you one thing!"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtIDIartwC
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDNqwMWwDe
"What!?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPiX6vbkAm
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj2pJR8oDO
"Live!"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxjKCOTZzE
