Esme's+Gate

I wake up from a strange dream like always, but this time it felt genuinely clear unlike the others I had in the past.

I laid in bed thinking about this some how strangely realistic dream of mine for what feels like forever, and get confused so I sort of shake it off and concentrate on what I have to get done today. One, I have to go to the market for my mother. Two, I should probably go get my hair cut seaming that lately my hair has been wildly out of control.Three I need to get some hunting in sometime today.Four,.......errrrr Esme concentrate I mutter to myself in an angry tone.I take a deep breath and finally force myself to roll out of bed and get ready for the day.

I buy a loaf of bread, a jug of skim milk, a dozen eggs and a bar of soap. it was a boring grocery trip until I see jack around the corner of the next isle “Jack!” I said loudly, probably disturbing everyone in mrs.Adam’s market. “Esme, is that you?” said jack “yeah, I laugh. You look so much older. I haven't seen you in forever” Then something catches my eye, a coin. I pick it up and observe it, it has a open hand on one side and a closed fist on the other. "whats that?" asks jack umm Im not really sure its a coin of some sort. I just put it in my pocket. Suddenly feel really dizzy and all I can remember is is the comforting feeling of being with jack.

I open my eyes and roll over to feel the cold hard dirt touching my skin, I really start to panic but I calm myself down take a deep breath and try to think of a logical explanation of this happening. Its bright out, almost morning.......what? But it was nearly afternoon when I was last at the market. How could I have gotten here, I slowly and carefully sit up. “in the middle of the wood’s?” I ask as if someone is there. I really take a good look at the place, it seams familiar in some such way. I think could it have been somewhere I might have been to hunt, could it have been some place I went maybe on a school field trip. I know I know this place its the same scenery from my dream.

No it can not be, it just cant. I tried to think of another explanation but I couldn't the dream that I had was just to clear, to vivid. I remember it exactly right at this moment. The tallest pine trees I could ever imagine, the rocky and bubbling crook, the smell of grimy dirt but the one thing that was absolutely unforgettable was the sky not the one in Cosmia the sky was beautiful all these bright twinkling lights on a background of all black. I finally stand up to look at them and catch myself from going into a daze, its hard not to stare at them there mesmerizing. Where am I? I walk towards a small table in the middle of the woods. But thats not what caught my attention, what caught my attention was my necklace my most cherished possession. What a strange thing, I thought that it was on my neck. I go to touch it but before I can. my mind goes to a different place, the coin. I check my pocket and the coin is still there, but as soon as I touch the coin I go into a almost sleep state. This time I can here every thing thats going on, but I feel like almost as if I am flying through time.

I can feel ground again “where am I” I say but again not expecting an answer. But this time a familiar voice says quietly “Welcome ésme, I've been expecting you”.
