Chapter 2-Girl of My Dreams


“Drake…” the voice was calm and innocent. I opened my eyes to nothing but complete black. I stood up and looked in all directions, and still there was nothing but black.
“Drake…” the voice repeated, except now it was more feminine and soothing. I began to run without telling myself too, it ran on its own intention. I had no idea where I or my body was going, all I knew was I was running nowhere. Everything was the same and the voice just kept on repeating the same name. My name. After what seemed to be a good 15 minutes if running I saw a bright light ahead of me, growing bigger and brighter the closer I got to it.
“Yes…almost there. Follow my voice.” This time the voice was louder and happier.
“Am I getting closer to you?” I asked the voice, as my voice echoed through the black abyss.
“Yes…very close.” It replied. The light was now so bright that it left no more black. I was in a white abyss now. Like I was in the beginning of time, before everything came to exist. My body stopped and I felt a warm hand on my left shoulder. I turned around to the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life; she had silky long, white-hair and emerald eyes, her heart-shaped face and perfect body. She was wearing a white dress. I was surprised I could see anything when our surroundings were white.
“Who…are…you?” I asked, stuttering. She giggled and ran her index finger across my cheek.
“My name is…Luna.” Her voice was so calm and steady and she circled elegantly around me.
“L-L-Luna…” I stuttered again and she once more, giggled. “How do…you…you…know me?”
“Ah, Drake. Are we going to start with questions?” she stopped mid-way around me and ran another finger across me cheek, this time sending a chill throughout my body. “I knew you since you were a little boy. You knew me in way too.” She explained. “Would you like me to go on?”
“Ye-yeah…” I stared at her beauty in awe as my face color turned red with every look she gave me.
“Ok. You may not believe in angels or guardians at your age, but that is what I am. I am Luna, your guardian. You see me every time you’re in danger or in need of hope. You saw me today.” She looked at me with eyes that caught me a daze.
“Today…?” I tried to remember what I saw today…the fire…the thing inside the fire. That’s it! “You were that…thing…I saw in the barrier of fire that surrounded Charlie’s house. She smiled a smile that was so beautiful and elegant that caught me in yet another daze.
“Yes…that thing as you call it is who I am. But, I think it’s time you stop calling me a thing and start calling me by what I truly am.” At that very moment, all the white light disappeared along with Luna, brining back the black. A loud stomping sound echoed through the black abyss and grew louder with each step. It was getting closer and closer, louder and louder. Fear trickled inside my body, as my hairs stood up.  I stepped back in horror as the sound of stomping drew closer, and all at once everything happened. I stumbled to the black ground as a white beast came into my peripheral vision. This beast was just as glorious as Luna, except it had that “don’t get near me or I’ll rip your head off” feature.  Its head was almost like dinosaurs, except it held wings and it had scales that gave off an emerald tint. Its eyes were emerald as well, just like Lusts.
“Luna…is this what you are?” I asked, not knowing if I was talking to her on not. There was no reply, except when this beast hurred and nodded its head.
“Yes Drake, this is what I am. Do you know what I am?” she asked, except the gentle voice was coming to me telepathically. I shrugged and shook my head, ‘no’.
“I figured. Such a child like you wouldn’t come to realize something as…ancient as me. Drake, I am…a dragon.” The word “dragon” echoed through the black nothingness and through my mind.
Dragons please, they don’t exist and they never did. Dragons are just child hood folk tales...
Luna laughed wickedly and sneered at me, “If dragons aren’t real, then what gave you the idea of looking them up on the computer?”
“HOW DO YOU KNOW!?” As much as her beauty was inspiring and loveable, her attitude was starting to irritate me.
“Drake, I know everything about you. Don’t try to hide things from me.”
“Just...turn back!!” I yelled, stomping my feet on the black nothingness. At that instant, Luna or the dragon disappeared and the black got blacker. This was no ordinary black, it was scary, deadly. I heard cracking below me and a scornful laugh, images in my head were flashing rapidly. I began to sweat as tears began to build up into my eyes.
“Dear, dear Drake...you under estimate me. I’m not as evil as you think I am. I’m far from that, you just need time to realize. Now, awake!”
I woke up in tears and my dad shaking me.
“Drake, you only had a nightmare!” I looked at him confused and realized what he meant. It was just a dream, a dream that felt so real. “Are you OK?” he asked.
I nodded my head as I wiped the sweat and tears from my face.
“Yeah...Im...um...fine.” I smiled and lay back down. Charlie nodded his head, smiled back and left the room. For the next hour I couldn’t sleep with the thought of Lust on my mind. She was so beautifully amazing yet, so wicked at the same time. When my eyes couldn’t hold open anymore, I closed them and fell deep asleep.
