Imagine waking up one day only to find out that you've lost complete control over your muscles and the only thing that's keeping you from thinking "Oh shit .. I might be dead , damn it!" Is the the voice of some dude , that turned out to be a doctor by the way, telling your parents some bullshit about brain injuries and a Coma , and the weird yet sorrowful sound of your mom's crying mixed with your dad's comforting words.
Now Imagine on top of all that, the only connection you Have with the outside world is through Some Strange man's dreams , weird ? trust me , I know.
Join me to see what will happen to these two , and how on Earth are they connected .
"JUST LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE AND GET OUTTA MY DREAM YOU FREAKY WITCH"
I inhaled deeply , Well at least I'd like to think that that's what I'd do if this was real life , and Said as calm as an old car's engine that hasn't been used in probably decades
" Well listen duck face , first of all I'M NO WITCH YOU DUMB SHIT , and second of all , HAVEN'T YOU HEARD WHAT I SAID?! Unfortunately you're the only one whom I can communicate with , and trust I ask the gods daily what is it that I've done so horrible to deserve this !"
Remi has always loved the forest, the different sounds, smells, the way she could get lost in it and never have to go home to her non-existent parents. She goes in and out of her life with her best friend everyday just waiting until they're both old enough to leave their small boring town. But one day Remi is attacked, and nearly killed, by a man in the forest. When she wakes up everything's different. She feels something inside her, a power, but she has no idea what happened to her. All she remembers is the man's strange yellow eyes. When three new boys show up at her school, one with yellow eyes, asking her question she gets nervous. And then one night while heading to go get her friend she's taken and thrown into a world she didn't know existed.

"Remi?" Jen says suddenly.
"Hmm?" I hum back.
"Do you ever wish you could just live in the forest? Away from everyone and everything?" She looks at me. "Free." We stare at each other for a long time. I see the real meaning in Jen's eyes. Her worries for going home to her overly strict parents. Her fears for the future and the unknown in general.
"If we lived in the forest we wouldn't have gummy bears any more." I comment to lighten the mood. She doesn't find it funny.
"I'm serious Remi! What if we did run away?"
"Jen, we can't just run away. I know your parents are strict but I truly think they just want what's best for you." She says nothing. For a moment I fear she's mad at me but then she puts her head on my shoulder and I know we're okay.
