Again! I saw those golden yellow eyes in my dream. His gaze was very sharp as if he was stalking me. This time it's not just the eyes that I see. A creature by the window was looking at me with golden yellow eyes. Do the eyes belong to the creature?

I blinked my eyes. No! It's not a strange creature. It was a cat sitting in my window. Wait a minute! Cat? In my room? I woke up immediately.
My eyes immediately fell on my bedroom window. Empty! There is no cat! I immediately looked around me. I spontaneously took a deep breath. Am I dreaming? I sighed as I massaged my forehead. Why am I so scared like this? I glanced at the alarm clock on the small table beside my bed. It is midnight. Yes, I had a dream.

"We're running out of time" someone whispered right on my right ear.
"Who is there?" I asked someone.

No one answered. I looked suspiciously. I heard it. Obvious! His voice sounded foreign. Did my mother have guests? At midnight? Impossible! Feeling curious, in the end, I decided to check down. Slowly I opened my bedroom door. I walked slowly down the stairs. From the top of the stairs, I could hear someone talking.
My eyes wandered around the kitchen. No one! Maybe the sound was just an illusion. Why have I been hallucinating lately? Should I tell mom? Okay! Maybe I'm still asleep and maybe this is just the effect of my nightmare.

Just as I was about to turn around, I saw a shadow moving gently. Just like the movement of a cat's tail. What's that? Impossible, right? Then I heard the sound again.
“I knew I would arrive in time with her!” said the voice again. It is the same voice that I heard before.

I rolled my eyes. This time the voice was so clear even though I couldn't see the figure. It's not an illusion at all! Whatever was there, I felt very scared. Immediately, I climbed the stairs then locked my room and lay on my bed with the blanket covering my whole body. But, after a while, I felt light. As light as a chick's feather flew in the wind, I returned to my dream world.

I jolted awake from my sleep. This is weird! I felt that I had woken up twice from my sleep. I looked at the alarm clock beside my bed. At midnight.
Strange! Wasn't it in my dream I also woke up at the same time? But, I shook my head to get rid of my bad thoughts. It was just a dream! I convinced myself and said the same line over and over again.

A few moments later I sighed. It's a relief that I'm still in my room. I straighten my back, leaning against the wall.
For some reason, ever since the incident at Reeny's house, I've always felt anxious. As if something was going to drag me out of there.

I can still clearly remember the fairy tale world. Even that person's screams always ring in my ears. I'm not sure it's all just an illusion because I'm not that good at imagining.
I got out of bed. I was relieved that the window wasn't open tonight. Oddly enough, I got the urge to open the window. In the end, I did and felt the night wind blow against my face. I closed my eyes for a long time to calm myself from that strange feeling. After calming down, I turned myself around and something surprised me.

"ahhh!!" I shouted spontaneously.
I saw Ursa Major hovering right in front of my face. The cat looked back at me with its yellow eyes similar to those of a python. This is not possible. A flying cat? I completely lost my voice. I was too shocked and even I wasn't sure which one was real.

I stepped back with my limp legs. I hope this is a dream because everything is beyond reason. As I stepped back, Ursa Major also floated toward me. The cat's whiskers twitched as if he was planning something. Ursa Major floated her long white tail at me.
Right after Ursa Major wagged her tail, I took another step back. I don't know what I stepped on, but I fell backward so that my body fell out the window.

"ahhh!" I screamed louder. The night wind slapped my cheek. Good grief! I don't want to die silly falling out of the window. I just got accepted to UCLA with Reeny.
Ursa Major was still hovering beside me leisurely. Then his eyes blinked once. After that, slowly the world around me darkened, so dark that I couldn't see a speck of light. I felt my head hit something. After that, I don't remember anything.

I heard the sound of the piano playing along with the chirping of the birds. I opened my eyes slowly. Sure enough! I saw a blue sky that stretched wide with pastel purple clouds with the edges emitting golden powder. I closed my eyes a few times but the sky was still the same.
I forced myself to stand up. At that moment, I opened my eyes even wider. The grass I stepped on looked so weird. They look like small trees only, those little trees are grass! Maybe it's more or less shaped like broccoli. Without a single stick of wood to support it. Along with the wind, the small trees also swayed like ordinary grass with a gradient of white in the middle and green on the edges.

To my right, towering clusters of purple vines loomed over the orange street lamps. From each vine, something round appears with a color that changes every 3 seconds. Pink, light green, and yellow.
I laughed funny. Is that a street light? Well, I guess I should be a writer because my crazy brain is capable of fantasizing to this weird level.

Am I dreaming now? It's weird because I've been having weird dreams lately. Terrorized by golden yellow eyes, and a cat stalking me in the window and now, I dream of this strange world!
“Keysa Oathword, you are great!” I tease myself.

I started walking on the strange grass. Do these little trees deserve to be called grass? This is strange considering that grass is usually just grass with parallel leaf blades.
I looked up at the sky. A flock of birds with long tail feathers circled right above me. The feathers of the bird are golden with tail feathers of various colors almost like a rainbow. The bird sings. They don't chirp. A kind of chanting like the hypnotizing chants of the nymphs.

The sound of the birds is so melodious. Make me wish I had wings and wanted to fly with them. The birds flew lower and lower until they finally stood around me.
I am still humming to the rhythm of their singing. The birds stopped singing. Without me knowing, the bird walked closer. But, at the same time, my mind slowly faded. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard the sound of the piano playing.

I gasped when I realized I was surrounded by a flock of birds the size of an ostrich. They are staring at me deeply. They get a little closer and try to hit me. Then, the piano boomed again. The birds screamed and then flapped their huge wings at the same time. I block the wind that hits my face with my hands until the birds fly back into the sky.
I hope this is only a dream!
