I was having the strangest dream. In the dream, I was being chased by creatures that were burning up like a bonfire. I kept running and running but no matter how far away I got they would always catch up to me. At one point I was so exhausted I couldn’t run anymore my body just didn’t have the energy to continue further.
“Eva you there?” I desperately called out to the only being that has ever helped me. I kept calling out to her as the creatures slowly approached me, however no matter how much I screamed I got no response.
Getting no response to my cry for help something in me snapped. It figures that everything was just a dream. Who did I think I was believing I could live a happy life? Go figure that someone like me just wasn’t destined for greatness. It must have been someone’s sick joke letting me dream of freedom.
The burning figures finally reached in front of me and I was able to recognise some faces behind the flames that obstructed my sight. The one leading them was Finn and judging by the angry face he was making he was not happy with me.
Once the mob of creatures swarmed me they wasted no time beating on me. My skin had caught fire at some point, I could feel a burning sensation slowly devouring me every second. I tried to scream to release the agony I was feeling but no sound would leave my body no matter how hard I tried.
After a while of being beaten and burned the pain slowly melted away. Maybe it was due to the pain or me just wanting to escape it. But at some point, I felt as if I was watching someone else get beat up while he slowly burned away.
I don’t know when but at some point the creatures decided that they had their fun. They left me burning on the ground just laying there waiting for the end. As they left they made a bone-churning noise which I can only assume is laughter.
Looking at the red sky I ignored the fire that was still engulfing me. That’s when I caught sight of a white figure with wings and golden locks. My stare must have attracted its attention as she turned around and looked at me curiously. I don’t know how but I could make out the Pity filled expression that was plastered on her face.
I saw her slowly fly down towards me, and I finally noticed her white wings. Wow is she an angel, She must be if the shoes fit? well in this case I guess it’s a case of wings fitting. She landed next to me a bit clumsily which made me almost dought that she was an angel if it wasn’t for the halo on her head.
She slowly sat down next to me with a smile that seemed to melt all my worries away. Her next actions left me baffled though. I watched as she waved her sleeves and the flames in my body vanished as if they were never there. The flames disappearing seemed to satisfy her as she beamed me another smile that slowly made me want to shut my eyes.
The last thing I remember before passing out was that she began poking y cheeks whilst giggling to herself. Through my heavy eyes, I could see that she seemed to genuinely relish it, which I thought was quite weird.

My head felt groggy as I slowly opened my eyes only to find an unfamiliar roof. My mind took a while to focus that’s when I noticed that I seemed to be laying on some kind of bed. The mattress felt soft and comfortable as if it was specifically made for my comfort.
That was the weirdest dream I’ve ever had in both lives. I don’t seem to be burned anywhere at least I don’t feel any pain. The only odd thing is that I feel sluggish and my breathing is a bit laboured but other than that I’m ok. That angle sure was a weird one, I’m glad she helped me but she got some weird hobbies.
I slowly lifted my right hand from underneath the blanket so I could massage my temple. That’s when I noticed that some type of wet cloth was placed on me. My eyes widened at the realisation that I didn’t fall asleep on this bed. Looking to my right I noticed the walk-in closet I was supposed to be in as a sense of panic slowly settled in.
I carefully turned my head to the left to figure out who was breathing behind me. “Angel” I muttered when I laid my eyes on her gold-blond hair that seemed to trickle down her head to frame her face. Although her eyes were shut that only helped to highlight her long eyelashes and her cute little nose.
The girl sleeping next to me seemed to be around ten years old. I noticed how her cheeks slightly reddened the longer I stared at her. It seems like she is awake and pretending to be asleep. Let’s see how long she can keep up her act.
“I must be dreaming there’s no way an angel would be sleeping next to me” I lightly said trying to get a reaction out of the girl. However other than her cheeks gaining a deeper shade of red nothing happened. It seems she is quite committed to her act of a sleeping beauty.
“I must be hallucinating, I think I saw the angle blush,” I said again making sure to sound as confused as possible. That seemed to trigger her more as her cheeks lit up like Rudolf the rain dier. I couldn’t resist the urge to poke her cheek anymore and so I did.
As soon as my finger made contact with her eyes shot open looking at me as if I had taken something precious from her. She had turquoise green eyes that looked like emeralds shining more beautifully than stars in the night sky. We held eye contact for three seconds not saying anything. I was mesmerized by her beauty as for her she must’ve been blinded by the handsome me.
“Get your finger off me” Is all she said after our awkward silence. I quickly complied feeling a little embarrassed at my actions now. She seemed to share the sentiment as she quickly looked away breaking our staring contest.
“I was only getting my revenge,” I told her with a pout before she could reprimand me for my actions. This caused her eyes to widen a little as if she has actually done something wrong.
“Revenge for what?” She asked me slightly embarrassed about something she had done. Whatever it is I can only assume it’s something she had done while I was asleep. I was certain of this by the guilty expression that was plastered on her face. She has a terrible poker face, I would never take her gambling.
“You were poking me in my dream,” I told her righteously as if I wasn’t blaming her for something that happened in the fiction of my mind. However, what dumbfounded me was the fact that the guilty expression on her face was actually deepening. Wait did she really poke me in my dream, and here I thought I was just spouting nonsense?
“I just couldn’t resist, it was just too satisfying poking you when you were sleeping.” She managed to stammer out amidst her embarrassment. She continued mumbling a string of apologies as she became more embarrassed. I was slightly caught off guard that what I thought was me lying turned out to be true.
“hahaha” I burst out laughing looking at the girl who was still apologising. My laughter seemed to snap her out of her apologetic ramble. My laughter seemed infectious as she soon joined in laughing heartily. The room was filled with our laughter slowly washing away all the awkwardness away.
