The Girl From My Dreams

1.

"I love you", he said, staring deep into her deep blue, almost violet eyes.
"I love you too Eric", her sweet voice said.
"When will I meet you?"
"Soon", she only said, and she started to walk away.

"Wait!", He called after her, but she didn't look back.

He woke up after having the same dream yet again. The beautiful girl whom he loved deeply didn't divulge her identity.

He rubbed his eyes wearily and trudged to the bathroom.

He was soon done with his morning rituals and he proceeded downstairs. He called out, "Yo! Jim, is breakfast ready?".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He was stressed. His Level Coordinator at his university was hellbent on making life difficult for him.

He was asked to submit a project which was not due yet, the very next day. He had less than 12 hours left, and his shift at the coffee shop hadn't ended yet. Eric felt like pulling out his hair.

Then, from where he stood, he saw a retreating figure at the window. She has lush black hair that flowed down her back, and she was dressed in a floaty white gown that looked like it was made of silk.

One moment she was there, the other she was not. He rubbed his eyes again and again, "Am I dreaming?", he soliloquized.

She looked like the girl from his dreams!

"The stress must be getting to me", he told himself.

Over the course of the next few weeks, Eric saw her everywhere. In his dreams, in the class, in traffic, at work.

He was going crazy.

Eric slept. And once again woke up into the semi-state where he met the girl. He was in anguish this time.

"Why are you doing this to me? I keep seeing you everywhere, it's driving me mad. Show yourself to me, please", he cried.

"I'm sorry my love, but I have enemies to vanquish in this realm, and I have to fight my battles before I can show myself", she explained.

"Let me help you, please", he pleaded.

She saw the expectant look on his face and sighed heavily, "That means you will have to come to this realm. In your world, you'll be in a coma".

"I don't mind", he simply said.

"You do know that if this goes wrong, you'll be stuck here?", she prodded.

"At least I'll be with you", Eric replied and pulled her close.

Meanwhile.........

Jim walked into Eric's room, calling out his name, "Yo Eric!"
"Eric!!", he repeated.

When he was unresponsive, he tapped him at first. No response.

He shook him roughly, but Eric remained limp on the bed.

"This is bad, very bad", Jim muttered as he tore at his hair before dialing 911.

They walked hand in hand with the breeze playing in their hair, the perfect vision of a couple well in love.

"I have to reverse the spell that my stepbrother cast on me, that keeping me trapped in this realm. I'm part faerie, my father was a full faerie and my mother was a human", she explained.

"Really? No wonder, your eyes are enigmatic, mysterious", he said softly, and a soft blush fanned her cheeks.

They had been walking for a distance when they reached the entrance of a rustic log cabin.

Eric was awed. The cabin was a burst of complimenting colors. The dark cross grain of the wood, and the burst of rainbow flowers growing round; from sunny yellow daffodils to blood red roses, white ixora, even violets.
It looked like a page out of a fairytale.

He was transfixed to a point, his eyes shining. She was smiling at him,
"Come in you doof", she laughed.
