through white fluffy clouds. It felt like I was falling
more than flying. I must be dreaming I thought, I thought it was strange that I knew I was in a
dream I couldn't normally tell when I was dreaming. I still felt a rush of panic as I realised I was
still falling. Down below I could see shapes and colours mainly greens. From up here it looked
peaceful, but I was still falling and I started panicking. I needed to wake up I didn't want to be in
this dream any longer.
I woke up with a jolt, I was sweaty and my hair was plastered all over my face. My heart was
pounding against my rib cage. I was lying across the front seat of the truck and it was now dark
outside. I could see the cabin from down here, the lights were on and the porch light was shining
over the truck making me squint.
I sat up and took a deep breath, what had just happened? One minute I was trying to look in Micah's
head the next I’m falling from the sky in some dream. It had been daytime when I was talking to
him how had it get so dark? How long had I been asleep? I knew I was tired but not tired enough to
pass out. It had felt so real I’d never experienced a dream like it.
Someone knocked on the window behind me, I turned my head to see Micah looking back at me
and he looked annoyed.
“It's about time you woke up,” he said opening the door which I was resting against. I fell out
backwards, but he caught me and dragged me to my feet by my elbows. I was sure his fingers
would leave a mark by how hard he had gripped me. Ouch! I steadied myself and rubbed my
elbows.
“What time is it?” I asked still a bit groggy.
“Nearly twelve,” he snapped back.
“At night?” I asked going all wide eyed, last time I checked my cellphone it had read 9.41am. How
had this happened?
“Off course eleven at night, it's been like trying to wake the dead and you snore really loud....now
get inside,” he said shoving me towards the cabin. What was wrong with this guy? In the truck he
had been sort of nice to me now he was acting mad like I’d done something wrong.
“Where's Seth?” I asked climbing the steps.
“He had to go somewhere,”
Somewhere that wasn't a proper answer. Micah was acting very strange, sort of on edge. He went to
open the front door but paused with his back to me.
“Gunner,” Micah shouted. I turned around to see an extremely large black Great Dane running up
the steps towards me. I jumped back for my own safety it was huge and scary looking and would of
easily knocked me over. It sniffed my feet then my at my clenched fist as I was hiding my fingers
encase it wasn't friendly, then it ran into the cabin out of sight.
The front door led straight into a room where a fire was already burning.
“Is it your dog?” I asked watching the dog settle next to the fire.
“No he belongs to a friend and he doesn't like strangers so don't go cuddling him or anything,” I
looked over at the dog it was chewing on a scruffy looking trainer. The front room had a TV and
two couches facing towards it, there was an archway leading from the room to what looked like a
kitchen and a staircase was straight in front.
Micah walked up the stairs, I was unsure whether I was meant to follow him or not so I stood at the
bottom watching the dog.
“What are you doing?” he asked from the top of the stairs and motioned with his head for me to
follow. Upstairs was dark but there was light coming from under one of the doors, which was the
one he opened, holding the door open for me.
I walked into a smallish room, inside there was a single bed, a nightstand with a lamp, a desk, a
small closet and a chest of drawers. My boxes were stacked in the corner. The bed had been neatly
made with purple sheets and there was a gorgeous purple furry blanket to match the bed linen
draped over the end. The room looked cosy, Seth made it sound like his spare room was a tip with
junk lying around, obviously he had quickly cleaned it out while I was asleep.
Wow! But where did he
