Dreams

E I G H T

The weirdness all started when Lexi came over. "Ummm...... Hey, Al. I thought you said no one was home." "But I did." Ally replied. Then Ally looked towards her living room; she saw her mom sitting in a chair watching her favorite show, "Dancing with the stars". "Hey mom, have you been there all day?" "Yes. Sorry. I ... I can't explain."

--------flashback-------
Ally's father: "Why are you so up tight. Let loose and relax."

Ally's mother: "I'm busy. Can't you tell."

Ally: "Ugh, can you guys keep it down. I'm trying to finally finish my drawing."

Ally's mother: "Sorry, your father and I are having a small argument about .... about certain things."

Ally's father: "You don't need to lie to her. Just tell her."

Then Ally's father left.

-------flashback over-------

"Im just having some thoughts about the past" Ally's mother said. "Ok, I hope you don't mind, but Lexi is gonna stay over for a while." "Its fine with me."

That wasn't even the weird part. The weird part was when Ally and Lexi went up to Ally's room. What happened up there was super strange. When Ally and Lexi first got up there, they both saw a strange image. It was the Keeper from Ally's dream. "Umm, hey Al, do u see that ..... or is it just me." "I see it too. Ok. Let's not panic. I'm sure there's probably a logical explanation for why we can see this." But what Ally didn't know, is that her dream ... was about to come reality.

"Hey Al, remember the dream u explained to me a while ago?" "Yeah." "Well, didn't you say there was a Dream Keeper who wore a white cloak." "Umm ... Yeah. Why you ask?" Then Ally looked at the figure who was looking right back at her. "Oh. I get it. This is supposed to be the thing from my dream? AM I STILL DREAMING????" "Al!! Calm down. Your not dreaming. Just please ... don't freak out. Well get through this together." But deep down, Ally knew she had to do this herself.

"Lexi, I ... I have to do this myself." "But Al, I'm your best friend. I'm here to help you with your problems." Lexi almost started tearing up. "Please, Lexi, this is my problem. My dream. My life. If I die, I don't wanna take you with me. You deserve your life." While Lexi and and Ally were talking, the Keepers figure disappeared.

"Um. Hey Al, I think the thing disappeared." "Ok, just keep a sharp eye out." Lexi nodded.
