Once Upon a Dream

Images were spinning through her head. Mystical music was playing along that would never grow old. She saw a little boy cradled in his mother's arms. The mother was humming a sweet lullaby to the infant. Another image passed.

Shadows were dancing on the wall and a distant scream was ringing through her ears. She saw the boy, watching with sad, green eyes, looking at t the figures making the shadows. The bigger figure was closing in on the baby menacingly. She wanted to help the boy so much. The image faded away and another scene cam einto view.

She saw a stone castle with children in robes walking through the grass, whatting to one another and having magical duels. The music was still going steadily, only now it grew into an opera. It soothed her and made her never want he images to stop. The picture zoomed in to find three people in a deep conversation. One girl with brown hair was talking with her hands to the people standing to the left of her. There was also a boy with flaming red hair, not seeming to be listening much to what the girl was saying. The other boy, however, was listening quite closely. He had the same green eyes as the baby, only he was older and had a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead.

Her vision went black. An evil cackle filled her ears, making her want to scream. She squirmed as a pale face started to come into view. It was laughing maniacally. She supposed the cackle was coming from him. As soon as the face opened his eyes, revealing small slits as the pupil, her own eyes opened. She tried to sit up, but the sheets were wrapped around her like a straight jacket. She was drenched in cold sweat.
