Chapter 15

The next morning, I woke up. There was no light, then suddenly in a flash of dracon fire, there was. A blinding flash above my head. I got up, startled. I wiped the dirt off my shirt, and looked up.

All around me, thousands of people, all running around frantically, but none seemed to see me. I couldn't tell why. I looked up to the sky again, it was painted in a rock ceiling.

Another blinding flash, and some of the rock fell right on my head, I was confused. What was happening? There were people in a hurry for some reason. I decided to walk around, to see what it was.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a giant green arm with a blade slashed at me. It took me a while to see what it was attached to, it seemed to emerge from within the crowd. It was a giant lizard, and as I concentrated, the arm seemed to move slower, as did the crowd. This seemed to give me time, I dodged it and ran into the crowd. Another beast lunged at me. Once again, the world slowed down, and I jumped over it's head. A seven foot tall lizard beast, and I simply flipped over it's head. And I didn't even think about it. It was simply reaction, like I had done it a thousand times before.

I stood up behind it and looked at my hands. What is this? I asked myself. This couldn't be real, but I have never felt a dream before.

I turned around to see another claw come at me. This time I couldn't stop it. It hit me square in the face and I could taste the blood as it flew out of my mouth. The green demon and the rest of the world turned blue, and slowed down.

Without even thinking, I jumped three feet into the air and kicked it in the side of it's beaked face. If you could even call it a face. The beast stumbled to it's side. I landed and kicked it up into the air. That was a feat in it's own. The beast seemed almost three hundred pounds, but seemed like a balloon to my feet. It flew a good twenty feet in the air.

Once again, everything was a tinted shade of blue, and everything slowed down. The beast seemed to stop in midair. I jumped, and was above it. I extended my hands and it fell to the ground like it had been in an explosion or something. While I hovered in air. I came down to the ground slowly, looking at my hands. I had done all this without even thinking.

I looked over the heads of the crowd. There seemed to be a disturbance at the other end. I decided to check it out. But yet another green thing attacked me. I decided to run away. I ran into a wall of a McDonalds, and ran up the wall. I kicked off and launched myself a good thirty feet or so. What power I had.

As I descended on the crowd, I separated my hands and the entire crowd cleared away, like I had ordered a spot to land. Like they were pushed, even.

I stood in the crowd. Everyone stared at me and backed away. A blue deer stepped out. Was this another slow mo? No, the rest of the crowd was still moving normal speed. When I looked at the deer again, I realized it was more of a centaur. With a body and head like a human, only smaller. And blue, of course.

It started making hand gestures, but it didn't say anything. Maybe that was because it had no mouth. Only three vertical slits. As it stared at me, it's antlers turned to look at me. I realized they had eyes on the tips of them.

I stared at it as is started to melt. It slowly emerged into a giant beast. A giant dog-beast thing, with four tentacles stuck against it's back. And two little dangly things at the side of it's face. The tentacles just stuck to it's back, but had little spines on the tips of them. They looked like they were poisonous or something. The beast was about twenty feet long, and ten feet tall, when it was on all fours.

It came at me, and I jumped. Way above the beast I jumped. Suddenly, one of the tentacles whipped at me, and I pushed it to the side. Three more came at me, I dodged all three of them. Then they retracted. I landed and it stood up. It was huge. Massive, even.

I looked over to see someone waving their hands, signalling me to leave, but I couldn't hear what she was saying, although she was seriously talking, but I couldn't hear her. She looked urgent.

BOOM!!! A flash of light blinded me. I was thrown into the wall, and went unconscious.

I woke up again in my house. Sam was laying beside me in his sleeping bag. It was all a dream, but all a really convincing dream. It kinda scared me, and I don't know why.

Just a Dream. I told myself. I put my head down and went back to sleep.
