Heart of my Dream

Heart of my Dream By Peyton Dailey

It was a beautiful Saturday morning and it was summer so i thought of asking my mom if we could go on a trip to our camp Roxbury. Roxbury Is a camp I grew up going to it is beautiful and has very nice people my mom even grew up there. I walked down the hallway to ask my mom if we could go. I'm praying to God that she would say yes. I opened the door and looked at my mother and asked her mom since we have nothing to do all week can we go to Roxbury. I said please like fifty times and as I thought she might say. let me think about it. After hours of me waiting. she finally Said we could go but she said next week. I was so excited for that whole week just crossing the days of my calendar. Finally the day came I was packed up and ready to go i jumped in the car waiting for my whole family to get in the car with me. After my family jumped in the car we drove of to Roxbury. After waiting two hours in the car till we got there I saw the sign that say welcome to Roxbury camp. I screamed on the inside just waiting till we parked so I can jump out of the car a run to the usual places I go. After i walked around the whole camp i went to our camp spot I was bored because no one was there to play with me so i thought I might ask my brother Ryan if he would take me to the waterfall in the woods. He told me he would after he sets up the tent so I sat there by the tree waiting for him to be done setting up the tent at that point I was dying of boredom I was ready to leave without him. I got up as he finished and he said im ready to go. We walked to the bridge to the woods as we crossed I got this wired feeling my brother asked if I was ok I didn't feel like I was but we just kept going. After we were deep in the woods Ryan said we were lost. I started shaking because I was scared of never finding my way home again. Ryan told me to calm down and we will just keep walking. After a long time of walking I look up at the sky and see a strange light it wasn't the sun but I felt like it was pulling me. I look back down to show Ryan but he was gone. I was looking everywhere for him I didn't know what to do I was scared for my life. I was just standing there and at that moment I felt like someone was staring at me so I started to run. I ran and ran I looked back to see if someone was following me but there was no one there I turn back my head and there's this little house that came out of nowhere. For some dumb reason I walked into the little house to see a boy about my age I stared at him as he stared at me. As I stared I felt weird again then suddenly I fainted as I was falling the boy caught me and put me on his bed made out of sticks and leaves. He rain out of the little house to go fined a rare flower that heals the sick. After he found the flower he came strait back and made me eat the flower. After I ate the flower I fell back to sleep. The boy waited by the bed for me to wake up. After days of me sleeping I woke up and screamed Ryan's name I asked the boy were Ryan was. The boy had no idea who Ryan was I start crying scared that I would never see my family again. After i cried for an hour I asked the boy a few questions like what his name was how long was he here and the dumbest question ever do you know the way back to the camp. If he new were the camp was he wouldn't be here. He told me his name was James and he's bin there since he could remember.
After that I had no hope of finding home again. I asked James if he could help me find Ryan and the camp. James said yes as he walked out the little house. We looked every day for weeks after that he told me he can't help me look anymore I just gave up and i realized I have no idea how to survive in the woods. I asked James if he could teach me and after a wile I got better then him at everything like hunting,fishing, building, I thought that the little house was to small for the two of us so I build a bigger one. After a few years we kinda fell in love and I got pregnant with a beautiful baby boy are life was perfect until the baby got sick a we couldn't help him so he died after a month. James and I thought life was over after that but a year later I got pregnant with three kids two daughters and one son. The girls were Anya, Ava, and the boy was Noah. life was perfect. We grew to be a strong family but then I got pregnant again and that night I gave birth to a boy and felt so tired I new I was dying and James brought the baby up to me and said what his name. My last word were his name will be Ryan. Once I died a saw a light thinking it was heaven but at the end of the light I saw Ryan i went to the light and I woke up in a hospital crying.I see Ryan beside me screaming doctor. I get up feeling sick yelling where's James were are my kids. Ryan looked so confused and told me so sit down I just kept yelling and the the doctor ran in an gave me a shot that will calm me Down.I fell to sleep waking up hours later. I wake up to see Ryan crying I ask Ryan were James and the kids were. Ryan had no idea what I was talking about. I asked Ryan why am I in a hospital. Ryan told me I was in a coma for the past twenty years. I started screaming saying this can't be. Ryan asked me who James was so I told him what happened in my coma. After I told him he gave me a hug and he said he was so sorry. I told him to take me to Roxbury.that moment he new he shouldn't but he did because he loved me. After we got there I ran to find the house after looking forever I find the house but it was the house from the first day I was there. I ran into the house so see that it was empty. I told Ryan to leave me alone so he left and I was there for days just sitting there. After a long time just sitting there I Hurd James's voice calling me. I ran outside to see him but all I see is a ghost of the whole family and all they said to me is forget us and move on. I couldn't believe what I was hearing I couldn't forget or move on. But James told me to go home with Ryan and live my life. I new I couldn't forget but I went home and never saw them again. I found a husband and I had two kids and I had a wonderful life. Years after I last saw James I wrote a book about what happened to me in my life and the adventures I had and I called the book Heart of my Dream.
