The dream

A small girl lay on the ground in front of me. She had brown hair, and a blue shirt with some strange purple spots. She looked lifeless. I was in a forest, holding something in my hand. She lay in front of me, lifeless. I looked closer at her. Then it hit me, her shirt was blue, the purple was just...blood! She had several stab wounds on her left side. Blood covered my hands, I looked at the item I was holding. It was a bloodied knife. I gasped and dropped it. I fell to the ground and turned the girl over so she laid on her back. I touched her wounds with my hand, they healed. They closed up and sucked in all the blood. She opened her big blue eyes. "Aaaaagh!" She screamed. "No it's ok!" I said. I sounded older, my voice was deeper and older. "You did this to me..." She whispered before fainting. Zakula's laugh echoed through the forest. I sat there, crying.

I woke up in Elena's room. The bed I was in was small and soft. Her room was painted a lime green, she had pictures of plants and coloured butterflies on her walls. A bay window was beside me, it's pink curtains were parted, making the bright sun shine on me. I hissed. Man I really need to stop passing out, Zakula was right, I'm weak. "Hey sleepy head. Sorry about the sun, I need some light in here." Elena said as she stepped in her room. "How did I get here?" I asked. My throat hurt and my voice sounded gruff. "Shhh, don't speak too much. Your gonna hurt your throat." Elena said softly. "I saw the caution tape around your house, I snuck in the back door. You always leave your friggin doors unlocked so... Anyways, I found you just sleeping on the couch. The police would do another investigation in your house any minute! So I picked you up and carried you... For five minutes. You were wayyyy to heavy. Finally Zakula came through after I dropped you in your backyard on the grass. He offered to fly me back to my house and to do a few other things I won't mention. I just pulled his ear all the way here and he got pissed at me. He's a big baby. Crying, telling me to stop pulling him and stuff. So he left and fell asleep in your head, I dragged you in my room and now... Here you are!" She said. That's why my ear hurt so much. I could see Zakula curled up like a dog, sleeping in my head. "Th-thanks." I croaked. "Drink." Elena ordered. She handed me a small peculiar bowl, with a foul smelling liquid in it. I took it out of her hands. It was hot and the stench made my eyes water. I took one sip. It tasted like sage, rotten eggs and other different herbs. It was too hot. I spat it out all over her floor. "Great..." She sighed. "You trying to poison me!? That shit is disgusting!!" I yelled. "It's a potion I made to help your throat!" She said. Zakula snickered in his sleep, or at least I think he was sleeping. "We'll it tastes horrible." I said. My throat felt slightly better. "Fine!" She said. Elena took the bowl from my hands and placed it on her side dresser by her bed. "Soap pellets." Zakula said. He was talking in his sleep! I laughed harder than I should have. "What the hell is a soap pellet!?" I said between gasps of air from laughing too much. Elena looked at me confused, then she just smiled. " Well your having fun..." She smiled. "I'll just be in the kitchen...if you need me." She said. With that she walked out of her room. After a good thirty seconds of just laughing, I let myself fall backwards and land on the bed, my feet hanging off. "Hey! Wake up!" I shouted. Zakula moaned, he waved his hand to say 'go away'. "I said wake up!" I yelled. Zakula opened his eyes. "Whut..." He said drowsily. "You were talking in your sleep." I smiled. He blushed. "Oh god! What did I say?!" He said. "Something about 'soap pellets'. I said. "Ohhhhhhh yeaaahhhh." He smiled, "never mind that." He smiled. "Phhhhhhh soap pellets aahahaha!" I said. Oh Zakula..... You hilarious piece of shit.
