Chapter 1 *A Dream*

Dreaming...

Just Dreaming...

I was walking through a green and grassy tunnel with grass on all the insides of the tunnel. All around me, birds were chirping; skies were budding clouds; and worms were wriggling through... the grass. They were like fingers coming from all sides in the tunnel trying to grab at me. I quickly ran away scared out of my mind.

I shivered suddenly, not only in discomfort, but noticing hat there was an abrupt change in the lighting. Wincing, I managed to mutter, "What the hell is this messed up world?!", then sheilding my eyes from the blinding light. My chest was rising in an utter case of hysteria. Here we go again with... HIM... his face just popped in to my head and whispered. As if his voice was a feather, it brushed up against my cheeck and up to my ear saying, " I love you Jeanette. I love you."

"Who are you? I've been dreaming of you ever since I saw face on that wanted sign on Blackwood Ave."

A wisp of light flew through the gathering of crisp and colored leafs forming a human. I was so suprised at what was happenning that I never noticed what I was doing.

I was running toward it! The leaves came so a solid form at the last second and turned into Nicole. In turn for my running, he returns a great big hug.

I asked, " Why are you always here?"

"Because I love you, and you and I both know we were meant to be together. I know you like dangerous and daring guys. That's just excactly who I am. And I love girls that are adventurous and brave. The kind of girls who won't back down from a difficulty they are facing, and have a good sense of humor. That's why I love you. This is also why I am always here. Because you love me. You dream of me in your sleep, your daytime, and your journal. You are the most amazing and beautiful young lady I have ever met."

"Thanks bu-"

"How do I know this? I know this because of our link through the truest love. You are like a blooming rose. The petals are representing your beauty blooming and growing every time I see you. The stem is your shaped body like an angel's."

I wasn't sure what to do since I knew I was already as red as a strawberry, so I just stood there acting likemy shoes were amazingly interesting. He knew what I was thinking and lead me to a beautiful and engraved ocean blue marble bench with jewels.

I think he noticed my quiet gasp and smirked at me.

"It's so beautiful! Where did it come from?"

"You."

"I-oh -ah-umm-emmm...", clearly stating the obvious that he left me speechless while I was still stuttering and trying to say something to sound like my old courageous self. It didn't work, of course. He's the only one that can leave me like this.

I looked up to see his face again, but this time he only had a face. The rest of him was of the crunchy and colorful leaves that formed him earlier.

"I will miss you. 'Till the next dream."

I watched and stared at his leaves as they spread and cleared his face from my vision, leaving a pile of colored fresh leaves. I picked a lef up and kissed it just to see what would happen.

Nothing...

Since I was bored out of my mind, I sat on the bench again. Right before my butt hit the cold marble, it turned into a dark black ink like liquid. I couldn't stop myself so I fell into a tunnel lined with that strange liquid. I was sliding down the 50 feet long tunnel like a waterslide and heard a loud beeping sound! I put my hands on the bottom and felt the tunnel lining getting thinner and softer as I got closer to a very bright light. 

At one moment, I had to sheild my eyes so I wouldn't be blinded by the light and cover my ears a little because of an annoying beeping noise.Once I got to pull up my arm I fell through the bottom and went through a green pool of water. I didn't see a top to the pool where I could safely resurface for air, so I just swan deeper.

To the point where I couldn't hold my breath any longer, I fell through a giant plug hole in the bottom of the pool, still hearing the loud beeping noise get louder.

I felt suddenly very dry in just about 10 seconds of being in a giant giant GIANT white room free falling. Warmth was coming close, and I wasn't sure why.

Cotton was the culprit. I just happened to land on the cotton sheet of my bed, with the alarm clock on full blast. I grabbed my pillow with one hand to muffle the horrible noise, while slowly using the other hand to turn off the stupid alarm clock.

So.....

It WAS....

just a.....

... Dream.
