I wake up to see everything I remember falling asleep to. The big open area, the waterfall, trees, and even the unique flowers. But something wasn’t right. I put my hand to my face. I could feel the vine leaves as well as my puffy eyes. I guess I wasn’t dreaming that I was crying.
I look down to see a fire moving back in forth. It was in perfect synchronization. One side went up then the other side went down. Until it made a pattern. But that wasn’t all. The fire had a warmth feeling like when you sit around a fire with the people you care most about, sharing all different stories with each other.
Jorgen then came flying down in front of me. “Your finally awake ,little one!” I guess I was out for a long time because it looked like it was afternoon to me?
“How long was I asleep?”
“A few hours. Nothing to worry about, sweetie.” Scarlet said as she followed behind Jorgen.
“A few hours? Hmm…..”
“Now little one as I promised we would talk when you woke up! So before you woke up we decided to see if you were telling was truth or not. To decide on what action we us take ,and it turns out you weren’t lying to us. Therefore if you have no where to go or you want to stay, we will take you in as our own.”
I went into shock…..”Thank you so must, I would love to stay with you guys! I am so grateful! I have a place to stay for a while!” ,I said as a smile grew on my face.
Scarlet looks to Jorgen then me then Jorgen. “I guess the first thing we should do is clean you guys up!”
“WHAT!?” Jorgen swings his face to look at her. “You can’t be serious, Sis! You know I hate getting wet.”
“So? You will go swimming in a lake or the ocean but you won’t take a bath?”
“Yes, I refuse to take a bath.”
“Well you’ve got no choice!” Scarlet says as she grabs his dirty scaly arm.
I just followed behind them over to the waterfall. As I got a closer I could see all the different types of fish. Some were so small it was hard to see them. Why some of them were so big they could feed 10 villages. But the coolest thing was that they had such glowing colors on them. One fish I saw had an appealing baby pink, iris, jade coloring to it. It was very gorgeous!
“I DON’T WANT TOO!!!” Jorgen yells trying to fly off. “DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THIS COAT TOOK ME!! FOREVER!! AND I’M NOT LETTING IT GET RUINED, SIS!!!!”
“Come on! You knew this was going to happen sooner or later!”
“I KNOW BUT STILL!”
…….Scarlet then tackles him into the water. The water flies up into the skies! It looks like the ocean waves crashing down on to the sand. As well as the sun hitting it at the perfect angle making each water drop seem invisible ,or a gem falling from the heavens. But as the water came back down it kinda flooded everything.
“SEE WHAT DID SIS! THIS WHY I DON’T TAKE BATHS!”
“Stop making up excuses! You’re just a messy person! That’s all!”
Then they both look at. They could see me soaked from head to toe. “Come on sweetie! My BROTHER here was just going to go under the waterfall.”
He begins to sniffle out of sadness. “O…ok…sis…..” As he was walking off crying tears. He then makes a break for it. He flies off into the sun making it hard to see him.
“I CAN’T BELIEVE HE DID THAT!!! I’M MAKING HIM TAKE A BATH WHEN HE GETS BACK!!” She then turns her attention to me. “Now let’s get you cleaned up.”
To be honest as calm as she said that I kinda wanted to make a run for it to. She seemed way, and I mean way to nice and sweet. But as I got into the lake all the little fishes came up to me. Some of them thought I was food why the other ones just circled around me creepily. Though seeing them up close was really cool. They would even let me pet them.
But as some time pasted I got cleaned up ,and the fishes started leaving alone or in groups of schools. Maybe it was my scent they liked? But can fish even smell? CAN THEY HEAR!? Huh…I feel I reached a knew level of weird. But someone had to ask these questions!
About 30 minutes pasted. I felt so clean and nice after that. Though I’m not going to lie I’m excited for when Jorgen comes back. Not that I want him to get in trouble or anything it just I think it would be funny to see what happens to him.
“SIS! LITTLE ONE! I’M BACK!”
The moment I saw him he was covered in dirt and mud. From an olive green dragon to the muddiest brown you’ve ever seen. Not only that he was covered from head to toe not just covered.
“YOUR SO DIRTY! YOU EVEN BROUGHT BACK SO MUCH MUD!!!! WHY?!!” Her face turned super pale like it was whiter then the white on her.
Jorgen begins to start laughing. I guess this is his way at getting back at her for making him take a bath. Though he wasn’t even clean when he made a break for it. Hehehe…..
As the night started to die back down into quietness everything seemed peaceful again. The quietness was quite nice. It’s even making me sleepy…..
The next thing I knew I woke back in my dreams. This time I was next to a big tree with wheat fields that went on into the horizon of the setting sun. Though the sun didn’t go down for as long as I looked at it. But the sun had so many different types of yellows blended into it. Some of them were super light. Why some were medium, blending into the darker colors of yellow. But if you looked at the wheat fields you could see all the grains of wheat swaying to a small breeze. It was like a wave of wheat flowing with and against each other.
I continued to enjoy the setting until I felt myself drifting to sleep. It was weird. I’ve never felt sleepy in my dreams before. But I just couldn’t shake myself awake. Soon enough I was in the blackness of the dream. “Am I going to wake up? But it’s only been 4 or 5 hours since I fell asleep.” Then I started to fall. I fell deeper and deeper as the darkness took over. I was gaining speed quickly until I hit the floor. I’m guessing I fell a distance of maybe 400 feet? Maybe less I don’t know. But that the least of my problems. I’ve never been in this part of a dream. Normally when I saw darkness that meant I was going to wake up any second. But something about seems off. Really off.
“Can you even trust them? Can they help YOU? Can they be there?”
I turned quickly around. I’ve never heard this person….no this creature voice before. Am making it up? Am I so sad to the point I’m doubting myself? I know I am just child who should never make this important of a decision. But what could I do? I have no people I care about anymore and no place to be. I guess this was rash choice. I didn’t think everything through. I guess I just jumped at the chance to trust something….no they are people whether they are a dragon or not. They helped me in my time of need. They are even willing to raise me as one of their own.
“Are sure? Are sure they’ll stay? Are sure they’ll love you? You’ve only know them for less than two days. So are sure they’re willing to lay their life do for you?”
“NO I’M NOT SURE! But if they’ll help even if it’s for a short time I should take it!”
“……….Hmm…you’re the most interesting person I’ve met so far. People would’ve woken up by now. So why do you listen to me?”
“Because what you say is true. How can I ask for help when I barely know them?”
“…….Hmm……trust me they will help you. Dragon are VERY noble creatures. But now you’ve caught my curiosity. Don’t you want to know who I am?”
“No. If you wanted me to know who you are you would’ve told me. Plus I have a feeling will meet again. Maybe here, maybe a different time, and place?”
“I see…..well would you like to go back to your dream or would you like to wake up?”
“Hmm…..that’s a hard question I would like to….go back to my dream please, Mr. Voice!”
“Mr. Voice?”
“Well I’ve got to call you something. So I’ll call Mr. Voice.”
“I see! Well until you find out who I am. You may call me Mr. Voice. Now you must leave. Goodbye, Miss.”
The floor turned into light once more. I then fell once more until I landed where I started. Back at the wheat fields with the setting sun finally setting.
