Dream World Chapter 4
"Did you have another dream?" Troy asked.
"Um, sort of!" said Gabriella.
"What do you mean?" said Taylor.
"I was running in a forest, that was it." said Gabriella. "Though there is a connection to all of these dreams, I think."
"What kind of connection?" Troy asked.
"In every dream, there is always this strange couple standing there. They are there, but they don't seem to belong." said Gabriella thinking.
"You don't think that this couple could have something to do with this, do you?" Taylor asked.
"I don't know, but right now they are the only people that seem to have any connection to these dreams." said Gabriella yawning.
"Maybe you should try to get some sleep." said Troy.
"What if I have another dream?" Gabriella asked.
"Well, you can't stay awake forever. Its not humanly possible." said Troy. "We will sit here and if we see anything suspicious we will wake you up."
"Ok!" she said not sure if they would really be able to wake her up if she was in trouble. She layed back on the couch and drifted off to sleep.
She opened her eyes, and she was looking out of a window at what looked like a large village. She turned around to see that she was in a stone room, with a large bed in the center and a warm fire burning. She noticed that there seemed to be a wooden closet on the other side. She walked over and opened it to noticed many beautiful dresses and gowns that looked expensive. She noticed that she was already dressed in a long blue gown that sparkled when the sun hit it.
"Ok." she whispered to herself. "Where am I?"
She opened the door leaving the room, and it seemed that nobody was in the long stone hall. She carefully walked out of the doorway and closed the door behind her. She turned around to see a name on the door.
"Annaliese?" she said. "Is that supposed to be me?"
She turned back around and walked down the long corridor until she reached the end where she could turn right or left. She turned right and continued down the hall.
"Your Highness?" came a voice behind her. She turned around to see a young girl of about seven years old. "What are you doing up so early?"
"Um, I couldn't sleep." said Gabriella unsure of how she was supposed to act.
"Well, you shouldn't walk through the castle alone." said the young girl. "It's a very dangerous time, Your Highness."
"I know, but I don't like staying cooped up in my room all day." said Gabriella hoping that it was not suspicious.
"I know you don't like staying in your room, but the King says it's for your own good, and that we can't let you wander the castle alone." said the little girl.
"Well your here now, so I'm not alone." said Gabriella. The girl looked at her.
"I guess." she said somewhat confused.
"So what is your name?" Gabriella asked.
"Um, Sophia." said the little girl.
"Well, Sophia, if you walk with me, I will no longer be wandering alone." said Gabriella.
"I suppose thats true." said Sophia. "but I won't get in trouble will I?"
"Of course not!" said Gabriella. "Your my escort."
"Ok!" said Sophia excited. Gabriella started walking down the hall with Sophia skipping beside her. Gabriella wasn't sure what was going on, and was afraid it would look suspicious if she asked.
"Are you worried?" Sophia asked.
"Worried?" Gabriella replied confused.
"About the war!" said Sophia. "The Bermier Republic wanting to take you away from the kingdom, just because the Queen chose to be on their side?"
"Well," said Gabriella unsure of what she should say. "I guess a little. I haven't really thought much about it."
"I suppose its best that way." said Sophia. "You want to stay here don't you?"
"Of course." said Gabriella.
"Good!" said Sophia. "Your the only one who has really talked to me in a while."
"Why is that?" Gabriella asked.
"Well, Mom is real busy with all that is going on, and dad is fighting in the war." said Sophia. "None of the others talk to me, they say I'm too young to understand whats going on."
"You seem to have a good idea." said Gabriella. Sophia smiled. They continued to walk and then there was a big bang. They both stopped looking down the hall. Suddenly a large man came around the corner dressed in black. Sophia grabbed Gabriella's hand and backed up.
"It's them!" she said.
