I woke up from my dream- sorry, I should say nightmare- and it was 3:27. I usually wake up at 6:45 on Wednesdays. I don't know why I woke up. But waking up early meant I got a early start to the day. Plus I am so grateful the Battle of freaking Nightmares were over. I don't know how to explain the rest of the Nightmare. The Nightmare showed all of us where we every ones sanctuaries are and what the first sing of breaking into our powers were. I Couldn't care less because none of this is real. It cant be. Supernaturals don't exist. The are part of the Myths we grow up to know. Like the Little Mermaid, the evil witch in every fairytale, the Sirens from Simbad and the magic from Harry Potter. They are made up creatures with made up features. Call me in denial, but I know I'm not a water whatever. Or I would have known. I would have guessed. But all the recent things happening to me... Well it's a big dream I'm waiting to be woken up from. And I cant wait for the day I finally open my eyes; to the sound of my alarm, for my first day of school. But until then, I will have to live this twisted life of every sorts.

I got off my bed easily now that my spine wound has completely healed. Luckily. I guess the graze wasn't as deep as it looked. I headed to my dresser to get changed to my casual-day-out cloths and thought of everything I was going to do. I had to do a few extra things now, because of my nightmare last night, seriously, sometimes I wish I never had a soul. Its not really worth it. Now everything I saw is just ringing around in my head. But today I didn't mind, I had allot of time to waste. 1, go to the fire 'sanctuary' I discovered in my nightmares. 2, ask what the hell I am in this dream so I can mock myself in reality. 3, Go to the 24-7 internet cafe. 4, go to the river and get changed to school uniform. 5, do what ever comes to mind if I still have time.

I got changed into a pair of plain black jeans with messed up converses and a white vest top. It doesn't expose my boobs so its fine, plus I will have my denim jacket on. Messed up converses and jeans were my style, I'm not really your normal girly girl, more tomboy in this atmosphere I was forced to grow up in. After I got dressed I brushed my teeth, along with what I do every morning as quietly as I could. I would love to miss waking the monster 'cause at school I might have time to ask Verona about her self defence skills. Last thing I need right now is death.

By the time I was ready, it was already around 4, so as soon as I was ready, I grabbed a banana and snuck out. In my dream (what ever you want to call it) I saw a burnt-to-ash rainforest for Rafe's sanctuary, the ashes threatening to start another fire. It does make sense for what he is supposed to be. I decided to go there as I thought he might now what's going on. Me, I thought it was all my hormones coming together as I just started my menses. Oh, did I forget to mention? Yeah i started my period. I noticed when I woke up, I'm trying not to seem excited but I really am. When I noticed I was jumping up and down. Literally but on my tip-toes so I don't make to much noise. That adds another thing to my list. Go to Tesco to buy sanitary towels. But I still needed to be sure so I was going to Rafe first. I didn't know if Rafe was gonna be there. I didn't even know if that is his sanctuary. I just had to check.

The only wild fire I know about is the one neighbouring my rain forest. The fire happened recently, some time in the early summer holidays. I only knew of it because I was worried it would effect my side of the forest. Thankfully, it didn't but it was darn close. So I set out, I think I knew the way from my forest. When I said neighbouring I meant forest wise. It was a 10 minute walk after my forest. East-west I think. But I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find in a green place like Apple Bay.

I arrived after 15 minutes. I searched and searched and murmured "Idiot, it's 4:30, why would he be here so early. People do have lives, they're not like you. Plus it was only a dream. Sometimes you need to think" to myself. I walked other the whole perimeter once. On the second time I saw a man. His back turned to me of course but I guessed from his height and his masculine figure that it was a man. He wore a striped shirt and some trousers. Like he just came back from work. His hair looked as if it was down and split in the front. Like Jack from Titanic but brown. But something seemed familiar. But I didn't know what it was. Why would I , I wasnt a very 'popular' to know who it was or 'out there' to know anyone actually. I looked around again, rotating my whole body slowly. I closed my eyes and sighed. When I opened my eyes I screamed. "Ha ha. As skittish as a cat." he said softly. Well I found what I was looking for. Right in front of my face when I turned. Inchs away. How the hell did he approach me so quietly. But thank fuck that I was still alive, not living from a bliming heart attack! He added a twitch of the mouth and I slowly exhaled. I was starring right at Rafael. "Rough night, huh?"
