Dreams

It's dangerous to show your face hair and skin

"Wait, what? David, you aren't my brother?"
"No Evelyn. I'm your protector."
"But... but... I don't get it! What is this place? Why am I here? What is dreams?"
"Evelyn. Don't worry! Dreams is a wonderful place. you'll uh... Love it! but first lets go to the house. we're not exactly supposed to be here."
-
This was crazy. Was David just pulling a prank on me? Was He really not my brother? So many questions are racing through my head as we drive that I don't even realize what's happening around us.
-
"Okay Evelyn, put your cloak on and pull up the hood. we're heading into town and we don't want anyone to see your skin, eyes, face or hair. it's very important."
-
After about ten minutes we pull up to a big blue house. and by big, I mean big. "David? Do you actually own this?"
"Well, me and all my friends."
ugh. I had to see them again. He let me out of the car and told me to run inside- he'll be there in a sec. I did as I was told and ran up to the front door, and knocked. and knocked. and knocked. finally there was a soft clicking noise and the massive bronze door swung open. in the doorway stood Jason, David's weird friend who always hung out at our house and called me Erika on accident.
" Hey guys! It's Evelyn!" He yelled behind him. "C'mon Evelyn. I'll take you to the others."
Oh yay! I totally want to hang out in a fantasy world in a weird house with weird people and a brother who claims he's actually not my brother. Sounds fun.
-
"Hey Evelyn!" Everybody yelled. This is not something that I wanted.
"Hi" I mumbled- I'm not really the outgoing kind... they were scaring me!
Suddenly David was there guiding me to the oversized couch. I was certainly glad he came.
"Okay Evelyn, we have a lot to tell you so LISTEN UP!!!" They all yelled the last part, which made me wonder if they had planned this. I settled into the comfy couch and waited for them to start the story.
