The Magic Realms

A strange in counter

Sean opened his eyes to reveal a cloudy scene. He felt light, like this wasn't real.

Where am i? He questioned inside is head. He couldn't move, couldn't talk. A dream?

But this didn't feel like a dream, yet it didn't feel quiet real too.

"It worked!" A feminine voice said relieved.

His head moved to see a woman smiling. She had dark brown hair that faded blonde, fair skin and chocolate brown eyes. Tattoos ran down her arms. She wore a white blouse and black jeans but her ears were extremely pointed.

"Oh. Maybe not quite. You look paralyzed" She muttered.

"Who...?" Sean said, weakly. He'd never seen her in his life.

"Oh, right" She smiled. "My name is Eveline. I'm an Elf from the Elven realm. I'm with the rebellion. You're in danger Sean, you can't trust anyone"

Sean looked confused. What was she talking about?

"Oh. Right, Earth doesn't know about the realms.." She muttered. "Um...Just listen. I'm on my way to you, but some horrible people want to kill you. I need you to stay safe until i can get you to safety"

"What?!" Sean felt his body come back into his control.

Just then the world around them began to crumble.

"Shit. Time's up..." Eveline muttered. "Just, be careful! I'll find you soon!!"

Sean jumped awake, feeling out of breath. He ran a hand through his hair, realizing it had just been a dream.

He took a few deep breaths as he rubbed his tired eyes.

"Fuck..." He mumbled with a sigh.

Stress. Yeah. He was stressed and it was getting to him. That's why he had such a realistic dream.

Sean looked around and saw his small bedroom. He leaned over and checked the time on his phone.

8:45

"Shit!!" He screamed, jumping out of bed. He was gonna be late for work.

He quickly grabbed his clothes and put them on, cleaned his teeth and put some coffee in a flask as he had no time to drink any normally.

Grabbing his things, he ran out and locked the door running to the bus stop.

Quickly, he jumped onto the bus, the driver gave a chuckle. Sean looked up and saw the regular driver.

"Just made it, Sean" The driver chuckled. "Same as usual?"

Sean looked at him. "Please"

As the driver typed something into the screen he looked at Sean. "Your not normally late. What happened?'

"Slept in. I slept through my alarm" Sean said, out of breath as he payed

"Happens to everyone" The driver spoke, handing him his ticket.

Sean chuckled, taking it then finding a seat. Although, something made his neck hairs stand. He quickly glance to the back of the bus.

Sat there, looking at him was a teen. He wore full black, his hood was up, he wore sunglasses and looked pale.

Sean sat back, thinking to himself.

Stress. Your stressed, Sean. It's just a regular teen. Your dream spooked you and your on edge.

He sat back and let his day play out as it normally did. He worked in a small gaming shop, it was never all too busy

Sean sat by the till at the back of the shop, leaning against the counter. He gave a sigh as he felt bored. It hadn't been busy.
