Lost

Day 4, Week 1

Today we are starting our walk by heading north. I have no idea what was so important over there but I am just going to trust my new friends. We walked all day with our cots and sleeping bags and everything we brought. Alice and Thomas did this a lot I guess. They were having a good time and cracking jokes and it made the walk a blast! I was very hurt and scratched from the people that were trying to kill me and all the thorn bushes I walked through.

We walked a long time, but it felt really short. Before I knew it we had to stop and set up camp because it was getting dark. Again we sat on our cots and talked while we ate dinner and s'mores. We had a great day even if we were walking for most of it.

At about 11:30 we decide to go to bed so we can get up early and start walking. We say our goodnights and lay down to get some rest. I quickly doze off and start dreaming. My dream is strange. It is about my mom. She is the woman that I ran from but this time she isn't sad and we were talking and laughing. It feels so real and I don't want to leave but when I hear someone talking next to me I do.

I half wake up. I am hearing everything the people are saying, but can't see them and I still feel like I'm dreaming. After half hearing the people talking about "what we are going to tell her if she recognizes the tree", I fall into a deep sleep about my mom again. This is the first sleep I've had without being scared or sad since I woke up in the big tree.

I'm having another dream. This time it is about Thomas and Alice. It isn't like having a dream where we were walking or anything, it is a dream about something that happened. Although it didn't. It just feels like it did.

In the dream we were at the cottage and I was gardening with my "mom". We were having a blast talking and joking. Then we stopped because we heard a noise in the bushes. My mom said to go inside but instead I pulled out the sword that was hooked to my apron. My mom said again to go inside but I held up a finger telling her to be quiet, and she did. I yelled, "I know you're in there. Come out so I don't have to make you!"

Out of the bushes came Alice and Thomas. They also had swords. They didn't look like old friends trying to surprise me or anything. They looked like enemies. I turned and told my mom to go in and she did. When I was facing the other way Alice struck me. She swung her sword at my head but I knew she would try that as soon as it was off guard. I ducked and the blade went straight above my head and I did an aerial high kick and she dropped the weapon. She looked embarrassed and picked it up.

Thomas took the next shot. He swung his sword at me but this time I caught it. His sword hit mine. We had a little sword fight till he knocked me down. I tried to get back up but Alice was there to make sure I didn't. She hit me on the head hard enough to knock me out.
