Chapter 5: Was It A Dream?

The scent of flowers is like no other, just like the feeling of love to one another.

The story continues...

When I opened my eyes, I woke up in my bed. It was the next day before I went to sleep and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I was a little confused but quickly gathered my thoughts.

Was I dreaming that I was dreaming? It felt so real...and that man, why would he appear in my dream. As I sat up from my bed, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my left ankle. I took closer look at it and found out that it was really swollen.

I tried to rub it but when I touched it hurt too much. I remembered that in my dream I had tripped and sprained my ankle. Could I have been sleepwalking in the night and made it part of my dream? No, I would have definitely woken up if I fell down. Then could the dream have been real?

I decided to dismiss the thought for now and tend to my injured ankle. I got up carefully and sat at the edge of the bed. I opened the second drawer of my nightstand, next to my bed and took out a first aid kit.

I applied some ointment to my ankle and bandaged it tightly. After I finished bandaging my injury, I put the kit back to the drawer. When I got up, I heard something fall to the floor. It was the ring, I always wore it during the day and it also happened to be part of my the dream.

I bend down to pick it up and the red gemstones instantly started to glow. The light that the ring emitted was bright. To add to that the room felt heavy, as if their was an intangible pressure in the air. It was as if there wasn't enough oxygen in the room and I was fighting with gravity to not fall. It was suffocating and I was having difficultly breathing. There came a point where the pressure was too much and I fell down to the floor, passing out.

It was pitch black and the only thing in sight was a round light in the distance. It grew bigger and closer to me when a dark figure appeared. It was a girl, she had the same features as me and looked exactly like me. The only difference was the color of her skin it was burned due to long periods under the sun. She also happened to have cat ears and a tail which I had my "dream."

"Who are you?" I asked with confusion.

I looked her in the eyes, although she looked physically fine, her eyes say otherwise. She had this sad and depressed look that made me want to hug her.

"Hello Alia, my name is Lia. I am the Princesszehn of the Cat Tribe. I come to seek help from you to revenge my death and help my family. I want you to take my place as me and get back on the Lion Tribe and Lion King, Leos Leon."
