Floating

Chapter 4 - The Dream

I was on a dirt path in a forest somewhere. I didn't recognize it. I looked around some and saw tons of trees everywhere. Then I saw a speck of water from the corner of my eye. I walked up the path to where I saw the water. I felt like I was being told in the back of my mind where to go.

Holy crap.

There was a ginormous waterfall leading into a lake. The water was crystal clear and I felt the urge to jump in and swim. So I did just that. I swam to the waterfall and felt the spray of water against my face. As I got closer giant rocks rose creating a path leading under the waterfall.

Why wouldn't there be a cave behind the waterfall? Predictable.

I pulled myself onto one of the rocks and walked along the path. When I stood right in front of the waterfall I put my hand under it. Suddenly the flow of water froze in it's place. I took my hand out of the water and it started again.

Nothing at all wrong with this picture.

I walked through the waterfall and found myself in a cave with writing and pictures on the walls and ceiling. The smell in the cave was crisp. I gently ran my hand over the wall and looked at a picture that popped out for some reason. It was a girl with solid white eyes and icy blue hair that was everywhere. It gave off a light of some sort, like the eyes were glowing. The caption of the image said "Choice, Chance, Change".

I tried to go look at another picture, but I was enveloped into darkness.

During my dream I felt at peace, but as soon as I woke up Claire was yelling at me to get up. I groaned and rolled over. I was never a morning person.

"Get your ass up! I'm hungry and Trey, Seth, and I wanna go to the diner!!" Claire yelled. She's always grumpy when she's angry.

It sounded like she was above me, so I put my hand in the air and felt for her face. When I found her, I hit her on the forehead and whispered "Shoulda had a V8."

"Get up NOW." She sounded pissed, but she should know not to mess with me when I'm tired.

I put my hand in the air again, but this time I just waved her off.

"What the h-" Claire started saying and I opened my eyes to see what she was on about.

She was hovering about 2 feet above the ground.

Literally hovering.

I rubbed my eyes and blinked a couple of times to make sure I was seeing her right.

I was.

"Um... Claire why are you hovering like 2 feet above the ground?" I asked, stunned.

"Don't ask me! I don't know." She said looking absolutely terrified.

I realized I still had my hand up, so I put it down. As soon as I put my hand down Claire fell to the ground.

I looked at my hand in complete and utter awe.

"Ow. What the hell?" Claire asked standing up.

When she saw me looking at my hand she looked at it also.

"Wow. It took me like 5 days to get my powers after I got my wand." She said in awe.

That's when Trey burst into the room.

"C'mon I'm starving here. If I get any hungrier I'm going to die and you'll be responsible. You wouldn't want to face Tristan if that happened." He sounded exasperated.
