Torch

I stood up from behind the bush to see if the wild girls were near me. To my disbelief, the had mysteriously disappeared. I looked down at my clothes and saw my brown pants and tan shirt had stains from grass all over them. I looked at my wrist and saw my bracelet. I touched the unlit torch and it felt as if it were ice whereas the other felt searing hot.
I rubbed my finger across the lit torch and the luminous moon in the sky grew brighter and formed into the sun. I stared at the sky as it turned from midnight black to bright blue. I turned and looked at the forest behind me. It contained a mix of red, orange, yellow, and brown trees.
I walked into the woods hoping to find a place to rest. The dead, brown leaves crunched under my black, mud stained boots. I looked around and noticed a pile of glossy, grey rocks covered in moss. I ran over to it and found that it was a little taller than half of me. I walked around it, examining it when I saw a hole in the back. I got down on my knees and slowly crawled into the tunnel-like hole.
When I got inside the home I crawled and after a few seconds, I was inside. The ground was made up of dark and rich dirt with patches of grass. In the far corner was a little stream of water flowing through a tiny pile of rocks. The inside of this pile was much bigger than I expected. I dug my fingers into the black soil and made a bump in the earth. I laid my head on it and tried to rest and immediately I fell asleep. I had A dream I was standing in a hallway where the floor and walls were made of black marble. At the end of the hallway I saw a little table made of bronze and on the table was a little wooden bowl. I ran down the hallway to the bowl. When my finger touched the bowl it caught fire and I saw my reflection. I was wearing bronze colored shirt and paints with a long golden coat.
Then the fire changed and it turned to the group of girls who chased me. It showed them looking confused, behind them I could see the waterfall I'd seen earlier. They all looked full of rage. The leader pushed forward and called something to the girls and they all ran into the woods. The fire in the bowl began to grow and myself in the dream ran away from the fire. The fire consumed the hallway and the dream ended. I woke up in my little "house" in a pool of sweat. I had a feeling that dream would mean more than I thought it would.
