Mind Over Magic

The Awakening

Serena's POV

Nora flips through her book to find Lo's password and shackle number.

She finds the page, and we walk down the middle past the billions of people on either side. This is so unbelievably weird, all of these people are lying here and I'm pretty sure I just passed Beyonce. Like I said, weird. We eventually come to Lo and I look at her peaceful face before the world shatters before her eyes. Nora, Drea, and I transport her and her shackle to a separate room, the exact creepy chamber with the eerie moonlight that I woke up in. Nora enters her password and she and Drea step back into the shadows. I remain where she will be able to see me.

Lo slowly opens her eyes and yawns.

"Serena? Where am I?"

I smile grimly.

"The real world."

. . .

After we explained to Lo where we are and who Nora and Drea are, and about the programmed dream that she called life, about the human world we actually doesn't exist, about magic and spells and potions and dragons and unicorns, and then that I was woken up too, about less than an hour ago, and after she went through her phase of what is going on, are you sure this isn't a dream, I actually don't believe you are you lying, What is going on, and then I told her that I didn't believe it either but this is actually reality and that we have to adjust, and after she had finally excepted that fact she asked:

"Why? "Why did you wake US up?

The fact is I had no idea.
