Blue skies filled with large white clouds. That’s what I first saw as I opened my eyes. I yawned and wiped the drool from my mouth. What a good nap that was but where am I?

I was at the bus stop on my way home and now somehow I’m in a prairie surrounded by a forest. Usually the bus's’ arrival would wake me up.Standing and looking at my surroundings I began to walk towards the nearby forest.

Well it’s not the weirdest dream I’ve had and I’m sure it’s not a wet dream. Hmm so it’s one of those dreams that feel real huh. I continued walking and came to the edge of the forest. I feared it might be one of those scary dreams where you’re chased by a serial killer or something. Let’s hope it’s not. I thought as I entered the forest

—————————————Time moves forward———————————————————

My feet are tired after walking for what seemed like hours although it’s only been two hours according to my wristwatch. Are dreams always so long? and why do I have my watch? Usually a dream would feel short and then you’d wake up. What a surreal dream.

Still despite my fatigue I continued walking until I came upon her. A beautiful girl with long blonde hair. Her beauty had me completely stumped but what really made my eyes stretch away from my eye-holes were her ears. At this point you’ve probably guessed it but she had elven ears. So it really was a wet dream! Wait NO! Let’s not jump to any conclusions.

“Um Hello.” I said meekly

Hurriedly she turned her head towards me in a motion so fast that made me think if her neck was still fine. She looked surprised or so I thought but looking closely it was a mixture of shock and fear. Noticing this I put my hands up in surrender in order to appease her.

“Ah, I’m sorry for scaring you.”

Did she not understand English? I bowed to convey my apology since she didn’t seem to understand my words. Still she removed the bow she was carrying and strung it. She aimed the arrow at me.

“Em fo tuo tihs eth deracs uoy aggin qufad!” she screamed at me

As I thought she really did speak another language. I felt like columbus encountering the indigenous people of america. I wonder what i should do.

“Um, I’m sorry but I don’t speak elven.”

“Aggin siht.”

I needed something to show her I come in peace. I remembered the candy in my pocket so I quickly reached my hand into my school bag. It was not my brightest idea.

She released the arrow in fear of my quick movement. I screamed as the arrow pierced my right forearm. I fell on to the floor with tears in my eyes. It hurts.It Hurts! IT HURTS! I need to pinch myself to make sure this is real. Fuck it’s real.I’m not dreaming. Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore!

While I despaired on the forest floor the elven women came up to me in a flurry. She shot me and had just realized what she had done. Was she dumb? Still she attempted to calm me down and I tried to return to a stabler state of mind. It hurt oh man did it hurt but I calmed down and managed to go from crying to whimpering. I might have been italian but I wasn’t from a mob family so the amount of blood I was seeing scared me. I continued to take deep breaths when the elf women said something as she grabbed on to the arrow.

“Evitceffe si dohtem tuo-llup ehT!”

“Wha.. wait a bit. AAAAAHHHH!” I screamed as she suddenly pulled the arrow from my forearm.

“HOLY MOTHER OF FIRETRUCK!”

Immediately she started wrapping a primitive bandage around my arm but by the time I noticed I fainted.whether it was from pain or from the shock of this being another world I really can’t say.

————————————————Two Hours later——————————————————

Waking up I felt better, Naps truly were for the best. However that dream sucked. I felt a twinge coming from my right forearm. I sighed. That’s right even if I try to deceive myself this is all real.

“Oh man that hurt.” I said as I slowly raised my body.

I was lying down on the floor inside what seemed like a lean to from one of those wilderness survival shows. Next to the lean to was a small campfire where the elf was currently roasting some meat.

”Evila llits.” she said while smiling.

Oh that smile made the pain worth it. NOT!

I scowled and gestured towards by bandaged arm

“You’re an elf. Don’t you have any healing magic?” It’s a fantasy world so magic should be a thing.

“Erachtlaeh eerf gnitteg er’uoy gninialpmoc pots” she responded.

As I thought I have no idea what she’s saying. Still this was not what I expected. Elves were supposed to live in magnificent treehouses in the forest surrounded by beautiful flowers but her home was just sad. The “tent” was just a simple lean to.

I sat near the campfire and She walked over to me while holding a rather large book in her hands.

“ti kaeps uoy od rekcufrehtom hsilgne.” she said as she handed me the book.

Opening the book I realized it was a dictionary for kids with many illustrations. On the first page was a list of strange character which I assumed was the alphabet. The blond elf sat next to me and pointed towards the first character and srounded it out. I stopped her and reached towards my backpack and took out my notebook and a pencil. I began taking down notes of the pronunciation of each letter. She looked at the items I had taken out curiously but later disregarded them.

After she was done she returned to the campfire and allowed me to study the book by myself. While I was entranced in my reading the sun had begun to go down and the elf womaen offered me some of the roasted meat.

“Huh? Oh, thank you.” I then remembered coming up on the word for thank you from the book. I hurriedly flipped to the book and found it

“Thank you.” I said in Verunusian

She smiled and said ”You're welcome.”

After the meal was finished she offered me a leather bag filled with water. As I drank the fresh water she came towards the lean to and layed down and patted the spot near her. Maybe due to the proximity to the fire her face seemed a little red.

I waved my hands in denial.”It’s fine I’ll sleep here.”

“ybab eci eci.”  she said while pretending to be freezing by rubbing her arms for warmth.

“Li...Like I said I’m fine.” I could handle cold plus i was wearing a red hoodie so I really didn’t feel cold despite the fact that the sun had gone down. As I thought that a sudden draft extinguished the fire dropping the temperature considerably. I shivered a bit and stood up. I walked towards her.

“Um sorry.” I said nervously. After all she was a beautiful Blonde womaen who looked to be in her twenties and she was an elf. I pushed all my dirty thoughts away. Still I was a teenager going through his phase.

“loof dial gnitteg t’nia uoy xaler.” she said as she opened the blanket she was using.

I entered the covers with her and although she wasn’t facing nor touching me I could feel her warmth.

Although I thought I wouldn’t be able to sleep next to someone as hot as her my fatigue kicked in and I fell asleep.
