The Dream

By: Ava Skye

I fell down on to the sand. The sky was dark. Small streaks of light streamed in; flashes of blue and purple danced across the sky. I didn't know what was happening. I didn't know where I was. All I saw were the huge explosions of vibrant colors. I walked forward but then heard a rustle behind me. I saw myself from 10 seconds ago. I saw "me" looking around, just as I had! This was a repeat! I watched me step forward. Then another me appeared behind myself from 10 seconds ago! What was going on! The me's all did what I had done until they caught up with me, we were now all in sync with each other, The trail of me continued for infinity I assumed. This made no sense! The three that were in sync with me started to move but this time separately, like different actions I could have done, they seemed to be unable to sense my presence, like I was invisible.

I was about to step forward but realized that more of me would appear, What was I to do? One of the copies looked at me. Could it notice me?

"Hello Willow." It said

"Um... Hi" I replied nervously. She motioned for me to come closer. Was this some sort of trick?

"Don't worry, I wouldn't hurt you." She said as if she could somehow read my mind. Her voice was metallic, it was smooth like caramel cascading down into a bowl, it did not sound like my voice. Her eyes too were different. They were deep, deep like the ocean. You felt as if you could get lost in those wondrous eyes.I knew this was not me.

"Who are you." I demanded, she looked at me with a sly smile,

"I guess you didn't buy the disguise." She said, with that she stepped forth and put her arms up into the air, there was a silence. It was a calm and peaceful moment. The world around us vibrated like a curtain. It moved back and forth like ripples in water. The world around us froze. The streaks of light stopped moving, the copies of me froze. Then suddenly the whole world fell. The curtain like world fell to the ground, I could vividly make out a tall figure in the distance. It was that of a women. I saw her dainty feet step over the curtain that was still laying on the ground. I began to feel dizzy. The last thing I remember was the feet of the mysterious figure.

The next thing I know, I am lying in a bed. The room is completely white, bright lights shine on me, I am plugged into a big machine. The machine looked like a big evil creature. I could see my own blood pumping through the tube that the creature carried. I was even more scared and confused.

"WHY AM I HERE" I screamed. I sat up and ripped off the tubes. A team of doctors and nurses came in. They told me about a hundred times that I was completely safe. I scowled at the docters. They plugged me back into the evil machine. I could see a man and a women behind the glass, they stared at me with a loving worried look. They seemed familiar like a person from a far away dream. I felt like I knew them, but I did not. This bothered me. I could hear doctors talking in the distance.

"Poor kid" One man said

"Yeah, I didn't think you could hit your head that hard" A nurse replied

"I will go inform the parents" The doctor said. I saw the doctor walk towards the couple. These were my parents! How did I not remember them. I saw them approaching the door. My "Mother" opened the door and entered. She ran over to me.

"Willow! Are you ok!" My mom asked. She gave me a hug. My dad joined in.

"What is going on!" I demanded pushing them away

"You fell honey" My mother said. Did I dream all that had happened? A nurse came in.

"Willow needs to rest now" The nurse said. Her voice was metallic and smooth like caramel cascading into a bowl. She looked at me with deep eyes and smiled.
