When I woke up for the first time, I remember seeing a glass of water and falling back asleep.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uEt39J3bP

I dreamed of the day my dad died.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ9nb6obvx
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIlqSml3Mt
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SuMnbcqj7
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4iYpeceEB
"Hey Daddy?" I asked while we were getting out of the car.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjEBX9ZxLF
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA9XeZipSm
"What is it?"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjk8Se4yYN
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvWNOE1l6d
"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!?"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0J5ggZcv7
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJLAZZW9af
"I guess but you have to promise to be careful. Okay?"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2Y7do5Xz7
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9haLisIrr
"Yay! Thank you! Thank you sooo much Daddy!"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxfuIWqJXN
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4lIJMgahx
We parked the car and hoped out. There wasn't a lot of people at the beach that day. Just a few families.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn9HwGzH3h
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg2f2h7i2A
"Come on Daddy! Let's go!" I yelled pulling him into the water.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmjJUi6cLz
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUhcZZ23DU
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkOsqsTJW6
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnmMD0iIQC
"Is this far enough, Ai?" He asked me.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY19lf39xi
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuQIjbRFub
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDxzBfd31v
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3juT6250yD
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxGyjCYh8l
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdaRatNgTE
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LiPIfXdGI
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuUvywU8fe
A woman walked into the room and looked at me for a second.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIsWaCWzJd
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNshBsUqIbD
"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?"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYqOE2PifJ
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaD0ZgmBXJ
"Only three," I said. "Where am I, what happened, and how long was I out for?"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXRGXworjx
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqeZZivcaE
"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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZqxtDzy2d
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJtq9Kio0R
"...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."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8IlXC6kYv
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK3myYsXWv
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwWKzyoQPW
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT2vcwP2lV
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3XM4My5N6
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLZae2aHeD
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUHg9030yg
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW9Uk5Lrny
I fell asleep that last night.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdIylIvGyU
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3mJvQudvb
"Hello there," said a voice I didn't know.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbz4J0iMjG
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cMp53NTFa
I opened my eyes and saw that I was in the middle of a fire. I screamed louder than I'd ever screamed before.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHkYG2fNBH
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qODhia1FP
"Help! Help! Please make it stop!"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViZ6rTLuHT
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRRQuE1vNv
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwQFm6tWrk
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRApjDTHz8
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTw8JSbvhi
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJPW63ErH0
"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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXYE1YoopZ
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UtO763Bv9
I looked around but saw nothing.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QtzU9X2Y4
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ocp54HTBP
"Uh, down here."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY19N5Mivt
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSmjK5SjMo
I looked down and saw a small white snake sitting in front of me.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eNTNxkkrU
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqBIuu70hx
"This is a dream right?" I asked the snake.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNa2jdgG8Y
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0VaUfDoDL
"No, no, no, my friend. This is real. It is made from a dream but it's all real."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JkwVV9GQr
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZiwthcxR5
"Okay. That doesn't make sense."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwbwCuv9iM
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN06vEaXXj
"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?"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU13aEgFQEI
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE4WNyl9nl
"That would be great and all, but..."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq58TZ8Lkn
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcXoZ74Oxv
"Good!" The snake interrupted. "Then let's get going."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd6wvhbt3r
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxkAaiiLnb
"Going? To where?"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbMWae4hvR
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobE6tAu4ea
"To Dreamland of course!"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODxoa2YC1x
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvbSNmaV0y
A door appeared in the middle of the "room". I followed the little white snake through the door. We were standing on air.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO6HeIFEhs
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUOG6shHh1
"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."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49rD6yWBre
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1stj38lDM4
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFdafyhAxd
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk7e9Yu2PC
"You will also be able to master your powers here."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE6yEbJ6pe
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGoFeEuvr3
"Powers?"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcn1D08bel
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtOavcgfbt
"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."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuxVLdhtVf
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uo5JDXWJp
Controlling fire and water? This was an amazing yet terrifying dream. The very thought of being near fire or water made me shudder.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcko7Aqv6xC
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dhEr9svV2
"This is no dream," the snake said suddenly interrupting my thoughts.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VEi3qjFDM
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcxgXFCbGP
"Can you read my mind?"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp14H7IkVC
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6flxpBnY5
"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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsJGYfhj8r
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz11oiXs66s
"Okay! Okay! You've proved your point! This isn't a dream! I get that!"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5Y4RM3U0Z
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn68eSCEdn0
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4JF86PPzF
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4HwVBRVkZ
"Good. Now let's continue with our tour."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBGbKw8zBq
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6YIeb2tfH
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6tX0UDnQh
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S9FLdaPLM
"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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wdpzpmvww
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygVD2SDIbL
"Positive!"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aoAhN8Nbw
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHLik4mbEh
"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!"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi2eFfsVbF
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zh3cOLNjy
I started to fall but landed on one of the giant bubbles I saw earlier. It slowly carried me down to the guild."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bNujn6WmG
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER58gemrXY
"And Ai!" Fie yelled. "I forgot to tell you one thing!"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbhbpPcMeB
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAbVSf2Jbg
"What!?"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkeYdbhuQ8
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY1LNHdOLt
