Dreams

Evening

I sit at my drawing desk and think about my day, but all I can think of is what I saw in my dream. C. Caroline, my beloved original character who died during an invasion of her village, died in the underworld, AND came back to the underworld to kill the ruler and become the queen never seemed to look human. Yes she was human, but she was just a drawing, never has she looked realistic like I saw in my dream.

The Caroline I saw last night however, was different from how I draw her. She looked like a living being, as if the stars turned her into an actual human, but it was a dream. My mind hurts from the broken logic placed in my dreams. I don't understand.

My mind runs continually as I drift asleep.

I open my eyes to a garden, similar to the ones at the flower shops. Yet again, it looks so realistic. It's so confusing.

I look around admiring the view around me.

"I see you like the view" a voice whispers behind me.

I jump in place and turn around to see a very tall woman.
"Leaf...how?" I slowly speak as I gaze at her.
"Welcome to my garden" she smiles.

Not even able to respond, I stare at her. Her hair, so long that it touches the floor. The strands of all her hair dyed to the perfect shade of emerald green. Her eyes, blue like the sea. She looks so...real. I reach my hand out and stroke her cheek. It's soft, like the skin of a new born baby.

"No wonder people call you weird" she mumbles under her breath.

"What?" I question.

"Oh nothing"

"..." I stare at her not knowing how to react when suddenly it hits me. This isn't real. Yet, it feels like I'm awake staring at Leaf. Leaf isn't real though! She's just a character! What's going on?!

I back away in panic and fall backwards. The scene around me melts like wax until it reaches a midnight black. I fall continuously until I wake up.
