The Dream Chaser

4) A Question

(Grace's Pov)
----------

I was running around in an endless maze all night. The maze was a magical one. I noticed that the walls randomly came up, and came down. The maze was constantly changing. After what seemed like forever, I finally reached the end, but then all of the sudden, a wall went up straight in front of me. It went completely dark as if the power whent out. The maze stopped moving all together. I then heard footsteps behind me, slowly getting closer and louder. I tried to hide, but I could not see a thing in the dark. Then, I felt someone breath on me. "Grace?" the unfamiliar voice said. I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder.

I woke up with a start. What a bizarre dream. I rolled over to see my clock. It read 5:28am. I groaned and reached for my dream journal and wrote down everything that had happened. I didn't bother trying to get back to sleep because I would have to get up at 6:00 anyways.

I kept replaying the voice in my head. It echoed. "Grace? Grace? Grace?" Suddenly, I couldn't hear the voice anymore. I tried and tried to hear it, but it was gone. Then I heard it again, but it was someone else.

"Grace? Are you up? Come down for breakfast!" it was my mom. I rolled out of bed put on my slippers and slowly came downstairs. I yawned as I poured cereal into my bowl.

"Any dreams?" My mom asked excitedly as she sipped her morning coffee.

"Yes, actually. I wrote it down in my new journal!" I smiled still half asleep.

"Wonderful!" She smiled. "I knew it would come in handy!"

-----Later-----

I skipped into the school this morning after my mom dropped me off. I was very excited. I had art class first thing this morning and I couldn't wait! I was one of the first students to get in the classroom. I had plenty of time to settle into my desk and relax.

I smiled looking around the classroom at all of the artwork of the years Mrs. Vera has been teaching. My face fell when I saw Simon walk through the door. He gave a slight nod as he sat down in the desk next me to.

A little bit later on, Mrs. Vera began walking around the classroom as she usually does. She smiled as she came towards me. She said something that I was not in the least expecting.

"Hello Grace, hello Simon!" she smiled as she stopped by our desks.

"Good morning Mrs. Vera!" I smiled as Simon simply nodded his head again.

"You two are both very good artists. Have you actually talked much or met yet?" She asked. We both shook our heads.

"Well you should! Excellent paintings by the way!" She winked as she walked away towards the next students.

I watched Simon as he painted a beautiful picture of a dolphin swimming in the ocean. He stopped and turned to me as he noticed me watching him.

"Grace?" he said confused. And then it hit me. Was he the person in my dream???
