I'm starting to sound a bit repetitive now but please review and i hope you enjoy reading this :)


Rory's Dream

I'm surrounded by beautiful flowers everywhere. I'm no flower expert but even I can tell these ones are special, exotic. Colour surrounds me in shades of reds, pinks, oranges and purples. Bee's wiz around the flowers and the fluttering butterflies perch on the petals. I can hear birds singing from the sky above. The sky itself is a rich blue with a few fluffy clouds and a rainbow which stretches across the horizon. I can hear the refreshing sound of churning water in the waterfall next to me. Coins are scattered around the bottom of the waterfall and as I look closer I notice they're all euros.

There's a figure in the distance. Judging by the shape of the figure, it's a male. He is sitting on a bench under a blossom tree; he hasn't noticed me yet. Should I go over to him? I wonder to myself. He doesn't seem threatening. In fact he seems really calm and peaceful. Surprisingly both my heart and my head seem to be agreeing on the same thing; I make my way over towards him.

As I get nearer, I realise it's boy, about my age. He's tall with long-ish brown hair and extraordinary green eyes that sparkled in the light. His dark hair had a few natural highlights, dyed by the sun. I stepped on a twig; the noise of the twig snapping made the boy glance up and me. His face was a mixture of surprise and pure happiness.

'Is it you?' He asked. 'Are you my soulfinder?' He spoke English but had a noticeable French accent.

'I..I don't know? I think I might be dreaming. Where am I?' I ask, bewildered

'Oh my God it must be you! I finally found you.' He said standing up to face me.

'I'm sorry, I don't quite follow. How do you know I'm your soulfinder?' I say, wanting so badly to believe him.

'It's my gift. I can control people's dreams. I've been trying to reach you, my soulfinder, in your dreams for ages now.'

'So this is real? You're real?' I ask confused

'Well yes I guess so. I don't understand why I can only just reach you now though?' He asked.

'My friend Crystal, she's a soulseeker. She found you yesterday, it was weird though because she's tried before but there was something stopping her from reaching you.' I say, full of joy

'That would be my father, his gift is shielding and he always holds this shield around the house. Probably a little paranoid I guess.' Said the boy laughing 'he's gone away now, on business or something.'

My expression was pure happiness. 'I'm just so happy I found you.'

'Well now the questions are out the way, I guess introductions are in order. My name's Gabriel Harris' he said kissing my hand in and old fashioned gesture.

I laugh and curtsy in return 'I'm Rory Benedict…well its Aurora actually but I only get called that when I'm in trouble.' I say, smiling shyly.

Gabriel grins, dimples forming on his cheeks. He motions me to sit down on the bench next to him.

'So where are we exactly? This place is beautiful.' I say, gesturing to the exquisiteness around me.

'I created it actually; it is a dream after all.' He said winking at me.

'It's wonderful! Your gift is wonderful!' I exclaim

'It's alright' Gabriel smiled modestly. 'But I'd much rather find out about your gift.'

'I have a photographic memory. Quite useful really, I never have to revise for any tests at school.' I say.

Gabriel threw back his head and laughed.

'That's not fair!' He said

Conversation with Gabriel was good, easy, as though I've known him my whole life. We talked about everything from favourite films, family, school, food. I found out that Gabriel moved to France with his father when he was 7, he is an only child. He lives in a massive house, practically a mansion, in Omaha Beach, what Gabriel described as 'the rainy part of France.' He likes maths but hates English and claims that the Lord of the Rings trilogy is the best thing to ever be created. His favourite food is lasagna and he wants to be a chef when he's older.

'You should probably be waking up soon, Rory, I'm not sure how long I can keep my gift up. I'd love to spend more time with you though. I'll try and reach you in your dream tomorrow night, or is it tonight, I've lost track of time' he said after a while, giving me a small smile.

'But what if I get up and don't remember this dream? Can't we just stay here for ever?' I say wistfully.

'As much as I'd love that, I really can't but I promise you I'll talk to you later and you will remember me.' He told me confidently.

'Okay' I sigh, reluctant to wake up. 'I'm going to fly to France as soon as I can so we can speak in person.' I tell him, my eyes full of honestly.

'I'd love that' said Gabriel grinning.

I could feel myself waking up, the noise of the birds became quitter and the flowers became further away. He bent down and hugged me tightly, his strong arms wrapped around my body. He kissed the top of my head.

'Goodbye, my soulfinder. For now anyway.' I heard Gabriel say quietly as my dream slipped away and I gradually woke up.
