A Silver Blur

Chapter Four

“No, I don’t want to stay. To be honest I’d prefer just staying in a room alone until I’m needed. Or back in my tree in the woods,” I said, “ I favor being alone, in the woods, at night. It is much more mysterious.”

    He thought about it for a minute, seemingly pondering what would be a good idea.

    “Or we could just do this in one day and I can go back off on my own,” I said imploringly. I wanted to leave as soon as possible.

    “Well, if you want to be done today, then we better get started. I will get some others,” Chiron sighed, “Go over to the Big House.”

    With that he walked, well trotted, away. I ran to the Big House, avoiding the notice of others. I decided to sit under the table and finish doing my hair.

    I saw Chiron coming with some others and rolled out from under the table, then stood up in a few swift, quick movements.

    After introductions, we all left to look at the trees at camp that had the same problem as mine. After a while of climbing around trees and looking at fallen branches, nobody had found anything and we all headed back to camp. I finally agreed to stay in the Big House for the night. As soon as I was in my room I layed down in the bed and fell asleep instantly.

Dream:

    I was in a cave with one other person, a friend or an enemy, I had not idea. In the cave there was a necklace-like thing that gave off enough light for only a small portion of the cave to be visible. The only other things I could see was rock, dirt, and the shadowy figure of the other person with me.

    “This will fix the problem! This is the answer!” said the other person, by the sounds of their voice it was a girl.

“What problem?” I asked.

    I woke up suddenly before the girl in my dream was able to answer my question, but it didn't matter because I had known exactly what she had meant. She had sounded vaguely familiar but I didn’t know why.

    I looked around for a clock but I didn’t find one so I looked out the window at the moon. Judging by where it was at in the sky it was about three in the morning so I went back to bed and drifted into a dreamless sleep.
