Just a Dream

Chapter 2: Sleeping Spell

The grass was a glimmering green. The skies were a bright blue. Flowers of all different types sprouted from underneath coming to be from a yellow daisy to the littlest of periwinkles. The wind blew the short grass that sending multiple waves all across the grasslands. A small lake sat near a forest. From the far distance near what looked like the edge of the world, large branched out trees like oak or pine trees surrounded most of the area and on a snowy mountain stood a large white castle.

On a hill high up a girl stood there watching below. She had a light yellow sun dress with a floppy tan sun hat. She stood bare foot on the short cut grass. Her pink quills blew with the light breeze of the wind. Her dress gracefully moved with the rhythm of wind as well. Next to her was a tree a little taller than she was. There weren't so many leafs on it but small pink flowers barely sprouting out from each tip of its branches.

The girl nervously looked around the area she was in. Mountains, a small lake just down the hill. A small village, all part of the world she was in, her regular sights.

She bit her lip.

'Where is he?'

She was waiting for someone, but whom? She didn't know, although the peaceful and calm land made it easier for her to concentrate...but on what? She stopped searching around and held her head. What was she looking for again?

When she turned she suddenly saw smoke coming out from the distance. She leaned forward, squinting to try to adjust her vision to focus. Smoke was coming out fast from the far distance. Her hand rose up to her forehead to cover the sun's light so she could see. Then before she knew it a flash of bright yellow light blinded her and she fell to her knees covering her eyes. The light died down and it took while before she could see clearly again, but the scenery was different. The vast blue skies disappeared. The bright blue color was replaced with the mixed colors of blood red and yellow-orange. A large huge dark gray cloud covered the area below her. She held her hat down since the wind began getting a bit stronger.

"What?"

She spun around watching fired start burning from different parts of the land. Forest, grasslands, mountains, everything was nearly in fire. Above her, in the sky, she found black figures spinning in circles like vultures when they've found pray.

The wind was getting stronger, blowing as hard that her hat flew away and she was unable to catch it. She turned forward watching her hat fly down the hill. Her eyes followed the hat until her sights were fixed on something else. Her eyes widened when she the figure of a woman on a cloud lifted what looked like a large staff in her hands. She couldn't tell. Lightning struck down from the clouds to the woman's object and then energy transported out to her target.

Small villages all around the land.

She gasped and backed away. She heard screams echoing in her ears, people, they were in pain. Most of the land was covered in fire, red flames, which scorched on anything in its path. Everywhere she turned she saw fire and animals running for their lives. Horrified by the attacks and unable to do anything she backed away until her back pressed hard against the tree's bark. The sharp tips of the broken off pieces of bark stabbed her back, but she could feel no pain whatsoever. She slid down crouched down bending her body forward and digging her face in between her knees. The screams kept getting louder and fierce. She covered her ears and shook her head. "What is this? Stop. Stop it!"

The only place she saw green anymore was on her hilltop. Everyone but her was suffering, running away from the large incinerating flames.

HELP

Her head jerked up.

HELP US PLEASE.

The voices were coming from her head in echoes. She held her head in panic.
