Strange dreams: chapter one.
By J.M Snevets
It all started as a dream. Just one strange dream. Mist had no idea what would happen to her after the first dream. It was a dream that she had chewed up her favourite stuffed animal, Kari. The dream started with Mist getting up and picking up Kari. The next thing she could remember was the taste of stuffing in her mouth. The stuffing went flying every where. Mist then woke up with a jolt. She looked around to see what happened. She could taste the stuffing. It tasted just like the stuffing in her dream. She noticed the stuffing every where on her floor and she screamed with so much force that the crickets stopped there singing. "What's the matter?" said a very comforting voice.
Mist recognized the voice. It was her brother, Ike. "I had a dream that I chewed up Kari and I woke up to find that I chewed her up." Mist explained as calmly as possible.
"Just clean it up and go back to sleep." Was all Ike could say.
Mist cleaned up the stuffing and went back to sleep. She had yet another dream. This time it was that she went outside and buried all of Ike's weapons. She could feel the cold dirt and the cool night breeze. She then woke up with dirt on her hands. She looked around to find herself outside. She noticed a hole and all of Ike's weapons were in it. She quickly took them out and put them away.
She had no more dreams that night. As I said she had no idea what would happen.
The very next night the same basic thing happened. She would dream that she did something wrong and would wake up doing it. She was frightened so she sent to shamans and priests. No one could explain what was happening to her.
The next dream was one of her worst yet. She dreamt she was in the kennel, where they kept all the animals for battle. She felt herself grab the gate on one of the horse's pens. She cut her hand on a rusty bar, but instead of wiping away the blood she just let it trickle down her hand. She opened all the pens in the room and let all the animals get away.
She woke up in the kennel with blood coming off her hand. The blood was like rubies shining in the moonlight. She grabbed her cloak and rapped it around her wrist to try and stop the bleeding. She looked around to find no horses. Or any other animal.
She later found out that Ike had watched her and told everyone what she had done. She had to use all of her money to buy more animals. She knew that the dreams would only get worse.
