Dream To Your Heart

Chapter One

Izzard J Nassicus was crying. Everything in his world was gone. He'd been banished from the Psammead community and Chrisa was gone.

He felt alone right now. He needed a friend.

He was also tired and fell asleep.

But his bat like ears picked up a sad sound. His eyes opened and he gasped in shock.

A girl was staring at him with red rims around her eyes.

She looked so much like Chrisa.

"You're the creature my Mom talks about in the stories she tells me." she said as Izz climbed onto her shoulders.

"Who're you and how do you know about me? We've never met.

Why were you crying?

Are you alone too?" she replied.

Izz nodded as he began to explain what happened.

"That's sad Izz. The other kids don't like me because I'm like my Aunt Chrisa." she told him.

Suddenly the rain began to fall and she saw Izz tense up.

"You hate the rain, don't you?" she asked him.

"Not really. It just makes me ill." he told her as they went into her house.

Elissa had a strange feeling that something magical had returned in her life. She thought it was Chrisa but she'd no clue what had happened.

As they came into the house, the girl smiled seeing her Uncle Horace there.

Izz gasped seeing him. He still remembered when Horace was a child and had nearly tried to dissect him.

"Izz you okay?" she whispered to the Psammead.

"Yes child it's your uncle but I'll tell you later, okay?" he replied to her. Horace was a little nervous because he'd seen his niece's new friend.

Izz felt calmer when they went into her room. It felt warm and peaceful with blue walls like the sky. Books lined the walls along with music and photographs.

"My name's Elena. My Mom always hoped you'd come back.

But why after all this time?

Didn't they want you to stay?" she told him but he was asleep. She understood as she changed into pyjamas and climbed into bed after dinner.

She rested his head on her pillow.

"Goodnight Izz." she whispered kissing him on the furry fore head...

Elissa smiled going into her daughters room and finding Elena with her arms around Izz...........
