A Whole New World

prologue

I was treading through the thick forest, my feet were bare. The ground was hard beneath them, occasionally I would feel a sting in my feet from the thorns or dried twigs but my mind was elsewhere. It was on the voice that was calling me it was a very soothing voice which was a whisper and it was calling my name.

'Celeste' it called again.

'Come here Celeste! We need you. I ... need you' it said again.

I fasten my tread as I felt the voice was fading away but I couldn't hear it anymore. Now there was no one to guide me, only the sound of that voice kept me going. I was following it but now I feel lost. I looked around me, I was in the middle of the forest. I have never seen it before not even in movies, it was a very different place.

The trees were so huge but their leaves were dry and colorless. There was orange tinge to them but the shapes of the leave was very different, they were huge and rectangular. I have never seen such kind of trees before.

"Where am I?" I asked myself but then the voice again called me and this time I hastily followed it. This time I don't want to lose it. I don't want to lose it this time, I will reach it this time.

I start running and chanted lightly.

'I am coming' I chanted again and again.

'Celeste please come.... please" the voice nearly begged me. The voice was so familiar yet I feel like I haven't heard it before. My heart and mind were in conflict, in that conflict I was confused.

'Celeste, don't go' the voice said.

"I am coming, i am not going anywhere" I reassured but seems like it couldn't hear me.

"Don't go" it said again. I feel like I am running around the circle, after every few moments when I feel like I am closed to the voice it fades away in to distance until it completely stops.

"No no please say something, please call me again. Please" I begged but there was silence around me, a painful silence.

I sat on the ground and put my head on my knees as I wept like a child. I felt so alone and scared at that moment. But then I heard a twig snapped behind me, I raise my head instantly and as I was about to turn I was met with a bright light, it was so bright that for a moment I couldn't open my eyes and when I opened them back......

I looked around me and I was in a room, the bright light was coming from the window. I sat in my bed and looked around me with a sigh.

"That dream again?" Asked my grandmother Odith. I only nodded, I am having these vivid dreams since I can remember. They have become a part of me now, in the beginning they used to disturb me but now I get disturbed when I don't have them. Crazy right!

When I was a child I used to see myself in the trees or a small village where I would be palying with kids, they were of my age but some thing in them was strange they weren't normal. Their games were strange too and some of them were very rude to me, some would play with fire, some with water, some with plants and some with stones. It was very scary and I would usually end up waking with a loud cry. But my grandma was always there for me. She was there to tell me that they were just dreams and I believed her but now I don't know I think there is so much more to it.
