Chapter 1
      The peaceful wood was full of life. The girl heard the hooting of the owls, the chirping of the crickets, and the howl of a lone wolf. She looked up; a full moon was giving off its calm beams of light. Wind blew, and rustled the leaves. She sat down on a hollow log. The whole world seemed to be resting, only the nocturnal animals made sound, along with the breezes of cool air.   Then, all of a sudden, clouds covered the light of the full moon, and everything became dark. Thunder clapped across the sky, and it started to rain. The rain was a light drizzle at first, but then it grew heavier. The girl heard no more sounds of the creatures of the night. The only sounds that I heard were of rain, and thunder. She stood up, and walked into the heavy rain. The water drenched her clothes wet.
    She walked under a tall tree that covered me from rain. Thunder clapped across the sky again, and the majestic tree she was standing under caught on fire. The girl hurried my way out from under the tree. A limb broke off the tree. The green leaves burned to ashes, along with the tree. She thought the rain would cease the fire from burning the tree, but it was as if the rain were no harm to the fire.    Another limb broke off the tree, and it was on fire. The girl tried to run out of the way, but the limb was too big, and it was just inches away from crushing her…

   Corallie woke up with a gasp. Then she laid down with a sigh. “Why can’t I just have good dreams again?” she asked herself. Corallie sat up, and walked over to her window. It was raining heavily, just like in her dream. She sat down on a nearby wooden chair, and leaned on the glass window. She couldn’t sleep again. That was the fifth time she woke up from a nightmare that night. Corallie didn’t plan on sleeping again if she was going to have another nightmare.
    The rain had become a light drizzle. Corallie looked down on the extra mattress. Her best friend, Angel was sleeping over that night. Angel’s dirty blonde hair was spread across her pillow. Angel was breathing steadily. Corallie walked over to her nightstand, and turned her lamp on. She got out her mother’s old journal, and read the large label on the front cover. “Elspeth’s Journal.” Corallie read out loud. Corallie hugged the book, and frowned. Her mom had disappeared 9 years ago. Corallie was only 7 at the time. She wasn’t sure why her mother had died, but she could remember her mother disappearing on a rainy night like this one.
    Corallie fought back tears; she tried not to cry when she thought about her mother. Though, nine years had already passed, Corallie still couldn’t get over her mother’s disappearance. Corallie opened the journal. The previous times that Corallie had read the journal, it was filled with her mother’s experiences, all written in old fashioned writing. Now the journal was empty, the pages were clean like nothing had been written on it. “That’s strange, I’m pretty sure that there was writing on here before.” Corallie whispered.
    She turned the page, it was empty too. Corallie turned to the next page. The page was completely blank like the others. Then Corallie frantically flipped through the pages of the journal, all the pages were blank, except for one. Written across a random page in the middle of the book, was the word Dream.    That was the only word that Corallie could find in the book, Dream. Corallie closed the book, and opened it again. This time, the journal was filled with her mother’s old fashioned handwriting.
