When I woke up for the first time, I remember seeing a glass of water and falling back asleep.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuc1qhDYri

I dreamed of the day my dad died.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEgKoC9fv6
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR2YCQcsfW
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdNiy7g7DN
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T5BBj7Zc5
"Hey Daddy?" I asked while we were getting out of the car.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9ZVfY6Mst
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFwOtqNOqG
"What is it?"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMziYM0BqKP
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37YBPXbkBx
"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!?"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK1IcGKPw1
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uV3H4XSsF
"I guess but you have to promise to be careful. Okay?"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Rsipm65Q
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvVmL7qP6U
"Yay! Thank you! Thank you sooo much Daddy!"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0pQyA31oU
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqM5t1rkHL
We parked the car and hoped out. There wasn't a lot of people at the beach that day. Just a few families.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLR2hIicg6
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42ESjnC4kD
"Come on Daddy! Let's go!" I yelled pulling him into the water.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe86AsX2C5i
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3zqL401O1
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSRj3oxX0z
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfllAA60BiV
"Is this far enough, Ai?" He asked me.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhewDv305q
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdMdsRTUD6
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Yrx4flvi
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sZXWMSdYu
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSzOeKDc8l
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94gQr3rlxR
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI8K2kzE6o
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hqMMt13rj
A woman walked into the room and looked at me for a second.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4GweUMzmF
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubSAhtGbkZ
"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?"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb4qkpTBfc
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUDGz0BY6G
"Only three," I said. "Where am I, what happened, and how long was I out for?"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIBrQ707CR
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEAlP9DPXK
"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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0CuUNVxar
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4X2y6oI7V
"...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."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F573aJxHa
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ1QRioTN8
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiuC4uuKez
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUw2Ejf5wu
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV1dSYUElj
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyzaDJ6b4q
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXGRGCZebu
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p41CNgGUh
I fell asleep that last night.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto3Pwqh0Tz
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9IvGB1aue
"Hello there," said a voice I didn't know.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd5nG6WYiF
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmUaFDDBE1
I opened my eyes and saw that I was in the middle of a fire. I screamed louder than I'd ever screamed before.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW4UlGcX7q
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzylDZu52GO
"Help! Help! Please make it stop!"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYta5CF79J
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmZB1iSwVd
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w8UBulgF0
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPgqxbL7Hm
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXkobnHzwQ
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN6QpFAkp4
"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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNyIcsPG2X
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUnQeMwNxJ
I looked around but saw nothing.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ov0tINasw
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdmmQakODF
"Uh, down here."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4phr6g1sf
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuDqI9J6Sy
I looked down and saw a small white snake sitting in front of me.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjVwOBhfyP
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUPXPkSESk
"This is a dream right?" I asked the snake.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbffwtTpR3
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuDVnxtRTB
"No, no, no, my friend. This is real. It is made from a dream but it's all real."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZstGIM7HPR
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXUNZXaw6X
"Okay. That doesn't make sense."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rh2e9C5vH
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zPJonhHPq
"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?"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoBLpDu66K
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRDlkqFwof
"That would be great and all, but..."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2in48KWyjI
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpQx7xhbem
"Good!" The snake interrupted. "Then let's get going."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH077XgdsT
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ26yXYkyp
"Going? To where?"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JMAjLQsvT
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvZSgUAm8z
"To Dreamland of course!"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxmFqoY73B
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhoCKaA0a6
A door appeared in the middle of the "room". I followed the little white snake through the door. We were standing on air.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRKDFPg3Py
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhaTTnD7Pg
"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."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyO6F1xa8i
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tZsZioOpt
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T1FdO8n1i
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaMu75trA4
"You will also be able to master your powers here."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAhy0OX8uT
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEQ6IdlDLT
"Powers?"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq6uPQpll0
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqiSIqEyy6
"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."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObf8qLmmfm
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w22uYXwGL
Controlling fire and water? This was an amazing yet terrifying dream. The very thought of being near fire or water made me shudder.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHD95jV3RG
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSPGMGajbu
"This is no dream," the snake said suddenly interrupting my thoughts.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZCytp7n0R
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhyCnvoK5b
"Can you read my mind?"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbQb1TPeFz
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdttnI8Dkmo
"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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS0XXiDPuF
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAjPVjsBst
"Okay! Okay! You've proved your point! This isn't a dream! I get that!"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GIoJSFCMK
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i2Lr4SLhR
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj589RAHAPg
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlb9YyQwyz
"Good. Now let's continue with our tour."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvJVlZsdMv
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDxovW2tIr
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1g5m5tkaP
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBIXPzcctJ
"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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWDUlx73ij
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKgwoOwLP4
"Positive!"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGii22fvIe
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj89APmlfZ
"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!"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGdlMNfzaY
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuNALIrZCE
I started to fall but landed on one of the giant bubbles I saw earlier. It slowly carried me down to the guild."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5wZGKrMn3
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwzKdf3uW6
"And Ai!" Fie yelled. "I forgot to tell you one thing!"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaCGUElfbr
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDvKKY077d
"What!?"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBnxA2hV8v
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f3B6dkFsg
