The Children with the Color Names

Chapter 13- Blue's Dream

          Blue wakes up with a jolt. All around her is dark and black and she is lying on a hard floor, and she is freezing cold.

          She obviously doesn’t know where she is but instantly knows that it is a dream, a dream that has to do with the prophecy. She can feel it run through her veins.

           It’s completely dark around her, and there is no light.  All she can see is the ground because she can feel it, and the fact that the area goes on forever.

          Where am I? She thinks to herself while she trembles in fear. Is this dream going to turn out like Amber’s?  After that thought, Blue begins to tremble with fear.

          She randomly walks around a bit, hoping she won’t trip on anything, or even die in the dream.

          “Hello?” She calls out and bites her lip, “Anyone here?” She asks and hopes no one is, or someone, and if someone is there, then they better be good.

          She closes her eyes tightly, and hopes she’d wake up back into reality once she opens her eyes. It might not work but it is worth a shot. She thinks and opens her eyes. Nothing has changed; she is still lost in the dark creepy area.

          Find the treasure…Find the hidden treasure…

          Blue begins to hear little voices in the back of her head and she begins to feel even more scared. “Who’s there?” she screams.

          Blue looks around. She can’t see anything as every single thing around her is completely black.

          “Hello!” She calls out again. “Who’s there? You can’t hide forever!” she yells and bites her lip again.

          No answer.

          She begins to walk around some more. I wish there was some light here… Blue think and sighs.

          And just as if a miracle happened, she sees a blur of light in the distance. A smile appears on Blue’s face and she begins to walk towards it. Maybe it’s a way out.

          As Blue walks closer to the light, she begins to hear a noise, a noise that sounds like water, falling off of something.

          She looks down a sees a trail of water that leads to the light. Blue starts to run.

          The light then suddenly turns out.

          She stops dead in her tracks and doesn’t move as she begins to hear a loud rumble. The ground then begins to shake and Blue starts to panic in fear.

          What’s happening? Is this an earthquake? No. Earthquakes don’t occur in Florida. It must have something to do with the water I saw…like a tsunami or something! Oh, this is just a dream, I’ll be alright. She thinks. Nothing bad can really happen…right?

           Blue slowly turns around and the rumbling gets louder, and the ground starts to shake. She sees a giant flow of water coming towards her and she begins to run even though she has no idea which way she is going. “Help me!” Blue screams trying to avoid the water. I can’t swim! I don’t care if this is just a dream, it’s still really scary.

          She is then surrounded by water coming at her and it hits her, nearly making Blue drown.

          What’s going on? Blue thinks as she gasps for air. She struggles to swim up. “Help,” she calls out although she knows no one will come and save her. “Help me, I’m downing!” she yells again.

          “Welcome to the dream world, where all nightmares become real!” I voice then booms followed by laughter, an evil kind of laughter.

          Blue is then forced down under the water.

          Blue holds her breath and her lungs begin to swell up with water. She tries to swim back up to breath, but can’t. The water is too strong and continues to pull her down all the way to the endless bottom.

          She then feels a sharp pain travel through her body and feels as if things are breaking through her skin. She opens her eyes and standing before her is a creature that looks like a fish person, and then, everything goes black.

                                                                                                                                                                      

          “Blue!” Someone yells.

          Blue wakes up once more. She looks at her clock and its five o’clock in the morning.

          “Blue, are you okay? You’ve been screaming so loud that several kids called up complaining. You’re even…wet.” The voice of the school’s counselor, Mrs. Starkey startles Blue as she speaks. “And your clothes are ripped…what happened here?”

          Blue shrugs and holds back tears. “I-I don’t know…” she stutters. “I had a bad dream…but I don’t know what happened.” Her vision begins to become blurry as the tears start to form, but she blinks them away.

          Mrs. Starkey looks at Blue, studying her, and sighs. “Just, try and get some rest. Dry off first, here’s a towel.” She hands Blue a towel. “If you don’t want to show up for class later today, it’s okay.”

          Blue nods, “O-okay. I might show up though…”

          Mrs. Starkey nods. “Alright then, just, if you need to talk to anyone about what happened, the front office will understand completely.”

          My powers, she talking about my powers, I know she is. How else would you explain the reason I’m wet? Blue thinks. “Okay,” she then says.

          Mrs. Starkey nods and walks out the door, locking it behind her.

           Blue yawns. What was that dream about? Telling me I’m the water element? Yeah, I’m sure of it. I’ll tell Red and the others at school later, surly they’ll know something.

          Blue then gets back under her covers and falls asleep once more.
