It's not a dream/h.s

Right when the big door opened standing there was a lady who had a white dress on and a man who had a black suit on, but the top showed his chest.

They both looked beautiful and also like brother and sister to me.

"Hello Harry, and who might you be?" Aura I think is her name said.

"Hi! I'm Leila." I say.

"Well it's nice to meet you Leila. Why don't you two come in."

Harry and I walk into the room. It has two fancy chairs next to a window that had such a lovely view. Everything here is amazing.

"Harry where did you find this girl?" The man said who I think is Alexander.

"She was in the garden in front of the castle. She thinks she's dreaming." Harry says the last part with his hand covering his mouth away from me.

Aura and Alexander look at each other.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Leila are you sure you are dreaming?" Alexander asks worried.

"Yes I remember my mommy putting me to sleep."

No one talks for a little and we all just stand there not knowing what to say.

"Harry please take Leila out of the room. Aura and I need to talk real quick and will tell you both when you can come back in, alright?" Alexander says and then Harry grabs my hand once again.

Alexander's P.O.V

"This is unbelievable. I don't know what to say." Aura mumbles under her breath

I sit down in my chair and try to process what is happening.

"I mean it's rare that we get people here, but she's dreaming and here? How is it possible? Maybe this girl died in her sleep or something." I say.

"What if she didn't Alexander. You know Iris tells us if someone is coming before they actually arrive here." Aura says sitting down.

It goes silent as I try to come up with an explanation.

"Ok so what if this girl is dreaming. Maybe it's just temporary and even if that's the case I don't know how it's possible how she's actually here. She's physically here. I just don't understand." I ramble on confused.

"I think we may need to contact Iris." Aura says looking at me.

I look straight ahead at the shell locked in a glass box then back at Aura.

"Alright. Bring the child in and I suppose Harry as well." I say and make my way to the glass box.

Leila's P.O.V

The lady opens the door that Harry and I have been standing in front of waiting.

"Quickly, come in." she says.

We walk in and Alexander is holding a seashell that is as big as my head.

He looks at Aura and she nods.

I have absolutely no idea what's happening and then suddenly he blows into it and it sounds like a trumpet.

The noise is so loud I cover my ears and so does Harry.
