The Dream Walkers : Autumn Leaves

Getting To Know Me

He gave the same answer,this is not just a coincedence;he really is that guy.
I smile at him, and he smiles back. Then the bell rings ,but it cannot ruin the moment, because just when we both get ready to leave,he tilts his head and smiles,"Nice Necklace".
I am so happy ,I feel like i am flying.So I haven't gone nuts ,someone else sees the necklace , someone else is like me .Its really happening ,it wasn't just a dream.I run towards my class feeling on top of the world.I run full speed and it's like I'm back in the woods ,I am free again.And even if it is just for a moment ,I feel ,yet again invincible.
Nothing interesting happens throughout the day but I have the satisfaction of getting to know that I am not a resident of crazy town.
When it's time to go home, I walk out of the classroom alone ,thinking about The boy. What if he is just my imagination ? What if only I can see him? What if , just like the necklace only I can see him. Maybe I have gone crazy.I didn't see him at all since our last encounter ,and he doesn't seem to be anywhere in our school.He is in none of my classes and he is nowhere to be seen.
I reach home and look in the mirror, the necklace is still there. I sure do hope that I will see him tomorrow.That way I can be sure of my sanity.
I sit down to draw. I draw him , his green eyes ,and that messy hair, and a smile on his lips. The smile humanises him, makes him feel more real.
I hear the bell ring, its probably one of Zack's friends.

"Autumn!" I hear my mum call to me."Someone's here to meet you"
Someone is here to meet me? Thats odd ,I don't recall having any friends or atleast friends who come to see me. I run down the steps and stop midway when I see who's at the door.
Standing at the door is no one but The boy . With a smile on his face. I walk down, and smile at him." What's up?" I say.
" Well , I just wanted to talk to you,can we talk?"
"Sure, um.. Lets go outside , I think it'll be better."
I walk out ,and he follows.We walk a few steps without talking. He is definitely real, I think. My mum saw him so he is real. I wonder if he knows about my dream. I just want to know so many things , like how only we two can see the necklace and what he wanted to talk to me about ,but first;
"How did you know where I live?" I ask him.
"I have my sources"
He has sources? What does that even mean? I'm starting to get suspicious now, am I dreaming again? No, I dont remember going to bed. He must've asked around school.
"So , Autumn , you never answered my question ,will you help me? I am new around here ,you know."
"You never anwsered me ,too. Who are you?"
He smiles,"You will know, when the time comes,but for now, I'm Jason, Jason Hunter."

Jason Hunter , I think. Jason Hunter .
I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

As usual, I am back in the woods, the green has now completely vanished. The sun enters the forest at some places and the view is breathtaking .I walk into the woods , the trees are whispering to me ,trying to tell me something, I cannot understand them , they speak softly and they are barely audible ,but the are speaking , I know it.I dont run this time, I don't want to go to the same path, I turn left and then I turn right , the forest looks exactly the same. I don't know which way to go . Right , I figure if I am going to start exploring, I might start on the right foot .
I start walking deeper and deeper into the woods ,I get a feeling that I'm being followed , maybe its Jason. I turn around , nobody's there. I walk some more and the atmosphere suddenly changes, its getting colder ,and darker . I go further and then the sun completely disappears ,the temperature drops even more ,maybe I should just return. No ,I think, its just a dream.It is just a dream .I walk faster and then I start running ,someones following me .I stop and turn real quick . No one. I walk more and then I reach a clearing , I walk towards it. There are ashes on the ground , but theres no fire I get to the clearing ,there is a large mansion out there.But it is ruined ; half of it is burnt and the other half has just crumbled , the mansion itself is dry .But there are still ashes everywhere , it seems like the fire was put out not long ago,yet there is no sign of water.
I step into what's left of the mansion and move towards the ruined part; the part where the things are still okay ,where the things have not been burnt. I lift a fallen piece of the wall and enter what once must have been the hall. I walk up the steps to the second storey of the huge mansion and and enter a room , the room is giagantic , with a king-sized bed on one side. There is a broken full length mirror on another side .I look at myself in the broken piece of glass . Then I see something move and quikly turn around ,again there is no one in sight. A huge wardrobe covers the other wall and I open it , there are clothes neatly piled there ,like the fire had no effect whatsover on it.
I pull out a piece of clothing, it's a gown ,an ancient emerald gown ,I look at it for some time and drop the piece of clothing on the floor . I look around the room . Nothing else is there ,the other wall is covered in painting, someone has painted green fields ,the sun and the clouds and now that I see the whole ceiling is painted to look like the sky ,the artist must've been really talented , the clouds look like they are real ,they look like they are actually moving. I keep looking at the ceiling and the clouds keep moving slowly but surely .
I go walk towards the bed and sit down , I can feel something hard ,I must have sat on top of something, I lift the blankets and I see a leather book , I pick it up and open it , something is written on the first page.
"Catherine Roseborough". I gasp ,Roseborough!
"You shouldn't be here " someone says , I look around to see who it is .
Just as I turn, everything goes black and I wake up.
