When Drake got to his house he ate a light snack and began doing his homework. He finished all his homework in less than an hour. Drake immediately started researching his symptoms on his computer. He googled 'dream hallucinations' and clicked on the first link that read 'Dream Vs. Hallucination'. He came across a section that explained that some people experience hallucinations due to lack of sleep.
"Ryan's right, I do need sleep" he said to himself.
At the dinner table he was eating with his mom and younger brother. Drake's father died when Drake was 12. His younger brother is ten years old. While eating Drake noticed the chandelier was shining too bright.
"Tommy can you turn off the light?" Drake asked his brother.
"It is off" replied Tommy
"Drake, are you ok?" his mom asked.
Covering his eyes he muffled out some words.
"Are you sure? You're sweating" his mom replied.
"Can I just go to bed?" Drake asked.
"Yes, but take some medicine first" his mom answered.
Drake swallowed a pill for headaches. He went to his bed and began to fall asleep. Drake woke up but he was no longer in his room. He was lying down on a patch of grass. It was dark so he stood up and noticed he wasn't wearing his clothes. He was wearing a sleeveless dark blue tunic. He was bare foot. He looked around and began to wonder if this was a dream or if it was real. He saw a dim light getting closer and closer. Drake had nowhere to hide. A small figure was holding a torch. When the figure got within two feet from him he noticed it was the girl from his dream.
"I knew I'd find you here, my name is Athelyna" said the girl.
"Where am I?" asked Drake.
"You're in The Forbidden Forest" said Athelyna.
"The Forbidden Forest?" asked Drake with a puzzled look.
"Yes, close to Dailious. The capital of Revolein" said Athelyna.
"Why am I here?" asked Drake.
"You are here because you need to be" answered Athelyna.
They both studied each other. Athelyna is unlike any other girl Drake had ever seen.
"What's your name?" she asked.
"I'm Drake Milus" he said.
Something spooked Athelyna. Drake heard some ringing noise coming from behind him.
"I have to go. I'll see you next time" Athelyna said.
"What? Wait!" Drake shouted as Athelyna ran away.
Drake woke up to the sound of his alarm clock ringing.
"Huh? Was it just a dream?" Drake asked himself.
