When I woke up for the first time, I remember seeing a glass of water and falling back asleep.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENRJVFXjDK

I dreamed of the day my dad died.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9O7S5c7MI
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5MbaKvgFP
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YKC8k5iDZ
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGwAJ0j4Hs
"Hey Daddy?" I asked while we were getting out of the car.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr6LiXFZa9
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WfsfQYLGP
"What is it?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoLrz95nkn
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Q6kuF0FZ
"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!?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuNSIbMJUD
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhanihtks4
"I guess but you have to promise to be careful. Okay?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm7CsZaTLS
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgdhFeB5Zn
"Yay! Thank you! Thank you sooo much Daddy!"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLtNsVMS3f
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGrUFPALMn
We parked the car and hoped out. There wasn't a lot of people at the beach that day. Just a few families.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkFXlA1i5b
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9djFQRHcV0
"Come on Daddy! Let's go!" I yelled pulling him into the water.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NBCHM2Dj2
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdy83HvIu4
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S94p0XKLG
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDOwynbD3o
"Is this far enough, Ai?" He asked me.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBJxVk89gB
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj714TPjzFr
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oIxwdnSKC
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQyVAwBzXA
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk7yvI3y7y
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEUZHEVqkt
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oRheZs8OJ
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYN8AEfZ9U
A woman walked into the room and looked at me for a second.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyylUYrUzy
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGQm5ltCaP
"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?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDJHFhyaSg
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HmjIwmoZL
"Only three," I said. "Where am I, what happened, and how long was I out for?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hGr3aMx3V
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcFzNYKYa2
"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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnELtbcdbls
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzch0n8ZHzE
"...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."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLMCnbdEuG
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitvb84mhTG
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmadMK4YsWg
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJFXgiy7s7
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKfDRZ7DHe
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4vZoFkpj5
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8dM7FCs1E
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT4uuSulbI
I fell asleep that last night.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEO2A5S5HO
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZl8ftsx08
"Hello there," said a voice I didn't know.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPt6RI58Dt
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSPidFvHFg
I opened my eyes and saw that I was in the middle of a fire. I screamed louder than I'd ever screamed before.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSgyhWoZGh
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7TqKYb0uM
"Help! Help! Please make it stop!"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox78huohO7
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDA0ssm4Yc
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW8u3U2igF
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbZnZr06Pt
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleIznT25g0
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfj1wsverV
"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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRlvS0jij4
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6UfADJSYF
I looked around but saw nothing.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7UYWFKGBG
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayqZ9hV0mS
"Uh, down here."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7dxj6IFtY
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzGAL9qI2W
I looked down and saw a small white snake sitting in front of me.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zwdER9OCW
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMJ55GzXFL
"This is a dream right?" I asked the snake.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM4DQKfnjW
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu4hgFdewY
"No, no, no, my friend. This is real. It is made from a dream but it's all real."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7OFRe032E
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdqm5gL3Ni
"Okay. That doesn't make sense."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV77ET0DW9
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HZ0QaYjc2
"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?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZMUI3JD0D
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhtzdOyobu
"That would be great and all, but..."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyy5MPD3bk
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QUkxQTGTZ
"Good!" The snake interrupted. "Then let's get going."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rshLSvU6s
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlidZ2gG4qo
"Going? To where?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl7JwzWDhe
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhg5S4bbEJ
"To Dreamland of course!"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzThkOIPFE0
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzLbLUc7Qh
A door appeared in the middle of the "room". I followed the little white snake through the door. We were standing on air.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7psDJ892o
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr9rucniTM
"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."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TvNzT711b
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSulORnuv7
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85669iVQy6
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB3oA6IFs0
"You will also be able to master your powers here."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEGkMFeoCN
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2w1rI2PRT
"Powers?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R62AVfgq2
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1zf6RF3j9
"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."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoE1vNiCZQ
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGskXRtmD6L
Controlling fire and water? This was an amazing yet terrifying dream. The very thought of being near fire or water made me shudder.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgilpH1kCPN
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfXD8RsAUr
"This is no dream," the snake said suddenly interrupting my thoughts.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReIebmq5C7
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtJKM9l01k
"Can you read my mind?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx03bi2sbCL
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpqWzpMwjn
"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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6K4p1xUN4
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCIZjKTmUj
"Okay! Okay! You've proved your point! This isn't a dream! I get that!"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4iDgWjYGZ
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY2LDDXcd4
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWmRgcZPvm
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jW9to69Fj
"Good. Now let's continue with our tour."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv800ZeIjT4
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlrVfbnUx9
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkni3ukr9Kh
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D2275XcJX
"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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KcNHWV8VF
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuZhMyDBcO
"Positive!"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumJXhTDU0i
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEIG7KJ3Hp
"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!"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3U5WaYWkR
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b24VMmRW1
I started to fall but landed on one of the giant bubbles I saw earlier. It slowly carried me down to the guild."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFYgeRAb0p
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs0JzNnGRE
"And Ai!" Fie yelled. "I forgot to tell you one thing!"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iD2U4YW7w
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1jZgeQcfg
"What!?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy3cwbPHi0
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj6D3feBQo
