Dreamares

Chapter 21

May 19th

I was running on the poorly lit street at night. I just received a text message from Kahlil.

We've been thinking about actually going to the Dream World. He had figured out a way for us to go, for us to be able to see the Dream World without having to go to sleep first.

As I was running, I couldn't stop thinking about Lia. Ever since a few days ago, when I saw her arm, she's been ignoring me. She hasn't spoken, looked, or even bothered me.

I don't think I did anything wrong, so I don't get why she doesn't like me all of the sudden.

I haven't told Kahlil about the note I received in my locker a few days again. I was thinking about telling him, but what if he starts getting worried.

I don't want to worry or stress him out, that would just make everything worse.

I arrived at the park we were making up at, completely out of breath.

He gave me a friendly smile.

"So, how did you find a way to go there?" I asked.

"Well I did some research and-"

"Wait, you're telling me that there's actually research that you can do on the Dream World. I would think that not many people know about it," I interrupted.

"Well it was hard to find the information on the web, I mainly had to look in books. But even in books, the information was very coded and hard to understand," explained Kahlil.

"Okay, and can you quiet your voice a bit?" I asked.

"Oh okay, is their a-"

I shushed him and covered his mouth. With my other hand, I dug in my pocket to find the note I received a couple of days ago.

"Look at this note," I whispered as I handed it to him.

He quickly read it in his head and afterward, he froze.

"Who do you think it is?" He whispered.

"I have no fucking clue," I sighed.

"Is that why you told me to quiet down because you think they might be watching us right now?" He questioned.

"Yeah," I said.

"Do you think we should maybe, look around the area to see if anyone's lurking around?" suggested Kahlil.

"Not today, this person could be dangerous and we have a limited amount of time," I said.

He nodded and then showed me a page of a book.

"This book has all the information about Dream World, however, I don't understand all of it. Are you good at puzzles?" He asked.

"What kind of puzzles?" I asked.

"The type where the sentences are all jumbled up," He said.

"Yeah," I nodded.

"Okay, start with the first one," He said.

"Tree tall find leaves with the white and the pink," I read.

I thought for a second until I said, "Oh, it's saying, find the tall tree with the white and pink leaves."

"Okay, where can we find a tree that looks like that?" He asked.

I looked around the area until I spotted a tall tree with pastel pink and white leaves.

"There!" I exclaimed as I pointed to the tree in the distance.

We both ran over to it quickly.
