It was foggy. You couldn't see anything. The mist was a blue green color. It looked pretty, but gave the most unsettling feeling ever. You squinted your eyes. You looked to your right, and up. Seeing a huge tree. You assumed you were in some forest. You decided to start walking forward. An eerie type of music playing in the background. It was sounded to be calming, but due to the circumstances you were in. It wasn't. It sounded oddly familiar.. you pondered. Wondering in more. The mist got thicker. It got harder to breathe. You eventually had to start huffing and puffing just to get air in your lungs. You held your chest, your legs trying to give out under you. There was a rustle. You looked back to pure darkness. There it was again. You swiftly moved your head forward wherever the noise was. It was too fast to be anything you knew.. you felt dizzy. Your eyes started to close. You fell to the floor with a thud. You layed down, unwillingly. Right before you fully closed your eyes, you saw someone. Someone unfamiliar to you. "The end for you, is near. Be wary of your surroundings, for you will need great luck to appear unharmed." The figure said. You shut your eyes. You felt hot. Sweating almost. You felt like you were being swished around. You slowly opened your eyes to see yourself in water. You were unable to swim up to get out. You were sinking fast, loosing air as you went down. You desperately tried to get up. You kept drowning. Your lungs felt like they were on fire, and you had to let the air go to breathe. You did just that, crying at this point. You knew you were going to die. You inhaled a big gulp of the water, it going in your nose and lungs. You felt like you were going to pass out very soon. You felt sick to your stomach. You let out your last bit of air you had left. You sank. Blacking out on the way down the somewhat bottomless trench.
You woke up in a panic. You were sweating too much. You sat up instantly. You dangled your feet over the edge of the couch. You had to process what just happened. You looked at your hands. Your eyes started to tear up. You tried to wipe it away before you woke up Gonner, who was sleeping peacefully. You bent down, wiping the sweat off and leaning back on the couch. You sat there. Silently crying. You covered your mouth as you looked at your right hand. It was shaking. "What are ye doin Y/N?" Gonner said. He woke up. **damnit damnit. ** you thought. He sat up rubbing his eyes as you didn't answer. "Hey, did ye hear me-" he said, looking at you for the first time. "Oh.. Y/N.. What happened me dear." He said, turning towards you. He had a worried expression on his face. You looked up at him. You didn't want to talk right that moment. You had your hand on your mouth still. "Shh, it's okay Lass. Your here." He said, removing your hand from your mouth and embracing you lightly. You didn't hug back until you felt you needed a hug. You and Gonner sat there for a while. You calmed down a bit eventually. He let go. "One last time, ye?" He said. "I'll ask yer again, but it's okay if ye don't want to answer. What happened?" .. You looked down as you explained the story through sniffles.
... " Ah.. I see.." he said. "Aye, I've had myself one of those dreams before too. But it was like it was predicting my deat..." he stopped his sentence. " let me get you some water, okay lassie?" He said, slowly getting up and walking over to the kitchen. He remembered when devin got some water for him last time, so he got a cup, filled it halfway, came back over and handed it to you. Your hands were still shaking. You took a sip. It felt nice. You calmed down even more. "We should change the movie. Looks like a documentary about horses." You said. The TV was also speaking. "The giant horse c**k weighs up to 11 LBS." it blurted out , out of nowhere. You looked at Gonner as he looked back at you with a weirded out look on his face. You burst out in tiny laughter. He eventually giggled a bit too. You checked your phone. It was 4am. You wanted to go back to sleep. "Are ye still sleepy?" Gonner asked as you laid down on his lap. He chuckled a bit as you nodded. You put a pillow on his legs to be more comfortable. He reached over to get your blanket to put it on you both. You felt warmth as you closed your eyes. He had put the fuzzy blanket ontop of you. He laid back onto the corner of the couch, making an armrest out of 3 pillows. "Goodnight again Y/N. Sweet dreams." He said, rubbing your head. "Goodnight Pirate Boy." You said, your face squished. He chuckled, and eventually watched you fall asleep on him. He sighed, rewinding the whole program back to SpongeBob on the TV. He seemed to enjoy it. Eventually falling asleep around 4:36. He was totally passed out, so we're you. You didn't have any more horrible dreams that night.
It was around 9:57 when you woke up. It was not as bright as you had expected. It was a bright, overcasty type of weather. "Good morning sleepy head. Seems like you had a comfortable sleep." Devin said, drinking coffee at the table. "Huh, not reall-" you were going to say before you noticed you were on gonners lap sleeping. You shot up. Red in the face. "Yeah, sure sure." He said, chuckling.  You got up slowly, and made your way into the kitchen. You got out the hot chocolate and measuring cup. You poured some water in and put it in the microwave for around 2-3 minutes. You got a cup out and the leftover pancake batter. You got a pan and put it on the stove, turning the heat up while going to get butter from the fridge. The microwave beeped, twice. You put the butter on, opening the microwave door as you walked past to put the butter away. You got out the water and set it down on the counter. You poured the packet of hot chocolate in and poured all the water in. You put the measuring cup in the sink and put the box of hot chocolate away as you grabbed a spoon to stir it with. You got the pancake batter and put enough on for 4 pancakes. "You want some?" you asked. "Sure, I'll take 2-3." Devin said. You got out the syrup and stuff to put on them. You finished the pancakes for both of you as you turned the stove off, put them on two plates and sat down at the table. Gonner was still fast asleep as you guys ate. "So." Devin asked. "So what?" You said. "What was last night like, you guys were in total different positions when I went to get water around 12." "I had a nightmare." You said. "Again?" He asked. You nodded. " was it like the other ones, mild, tame, or absolutely insane. " " around absolutely insane and mild." You said. " damn."
You heard groaning from the couch. Gonner flopped up and rubbed his eyes. "Wakey Wakey Mr." you said, teasingly as he waddled over to the table. He looked exhausted. He sat down next to you and decided to lay down on you. You didn't seem to be bothered by it though. You looked at Devin. He gave you a smirk. You rolled your eyes and told Gonner you would be right back and he had to get off. He grunted, holding onto you. "Dude, I have to out my stuff in the sink. " "no" ... Devin looked over and eventually took your plate for you. You said thank you, taking a sip of your chocolate. "Hey, you made me breakfast. What else could i do?" He said, starting to wash the dishes. You giggled and looked over at Gonner. "Jeez, what's gotten into you to get so clingy all of a sudden?" "Reasons." He said, looking up at you. You smiled awkwardly as he put his head back down. You glanced over at Devin making a 😬 face. He giggled. "Is it somewhere because of last night?" You asked. "Partially." He muttered. ...

"What's going on with you today?"

(( I had an experience as a child that made me afraid of big bodies of water, or even going underwater because of it. The dream is basically based off an extremely emotional experience I had while camping. I felt like I was going to drown that day. I went under a huge thing, not being able to see. The water was murky and dirty. I couldn't tell where I was at.  I felt like I was going to burst open when I saw a light change in my eyelids. I wasn't under the thing anymore. My young self shot up as quick as I could and started crying, rushing to get out of the water and get back to my mom at my trailer. My grandma took me back.. I'm glad you guys are enjoying this story though, it makes me happy to see people reading what they enjoy to read! ))
