Chapter 8: Jessica
I am pulled away from this dream in a message. She seemed to glitch at the important information. As if she was somehow controlled by an invisible force. I open my eyes, and the sunlight is blinding. I see all of my friends gathered over me, all staring at me dead in the eye. They all seem very tired as if they have been in this position for an extended period of time. Before scaring them I ask, "How long was I unconscious? What happened to make me go unconscious?" They look at each other nervously as if they are scared to answer. I start to feel sweat collect all over my body, what if I was in my dream for four, five days or more?? We won't have enough time to escape. Panicking, I begin to sweat and desperately desire to eat. A deep voice breaks my panic attack, "You were unconscious for three hours. We have been standing here the whole time. We are very tired, so don't mind our panting. I open my eyes to see it's Papa.
I explain to them what happened in my dream. Mama's eyes get bigger with every detail, as we have had similar events in our dreams. Is that possible? Piper informs us the Gods have visited her during her sleep when in distress. I can't believe that Piper2, could ever be a God. Whatever that thing was, was no God. I know legend has it they can disguise themselves, but never in dreamworld right?
Mama and I persuade everyone to construct a raft and leave as we finish. I walk to grab the materials, and we all work day and night. With three days left, we do our finishing touches. I shine the base, and add the necessities. I grab fruit, vegetables, clothes, weapons, sticks, and the closest I find to soap. I rade through the forest, looking for honey. I faintly hear my friends calling, I decide to not get the honey and go back to them. I hear faint voices, "We finished the raft." They sound scary, mysterious. They almost seem like whispers in my head, I can't locate the sound.
I brush off the creepy fact and move along. I walk back to our complete raft, that can surprisingly fit all of us. I grab the rest of the necessities, and I begin to pack it neatly. "Let's go" I hear the voices, again. I begin to be concerned, but try my best to not show it. I smile, and once done I say. "We are off on an adventure back to the real world" I reach out my hand and one by one we all place our hands on top of each other and "1....2...3... to freedom!" Mama pushes the boat into the water, I am the first the delightful hop on. Mid-jump I feel a shock, through my veins, bones, and skin. It electruces me all through my body, and I have never felt pain this intense. My hair begins to rise and I feel immediately tired as if my energy has been drained from me. I fall on the sand, and I am a few feet from the raft. I stay confused, while I see every one of them try to see or to experiment if it happens to them. All of us were the same, and we didn't know how, why, or who could have done this.
The world begins to spin, in circles, and I begin to see things. Random blotches of black blood cover my vision. Terrified to even move, they become a shape. A ying-yang, that is all black... I shake in fear, knowing that they made me go through so much pain. I still wonder how or why we would be stopped. Our only motive was to leave the island, forever and get back to our families, homes, and friends. Even the thought of my loved ones was provoking me to feel homesick. I clear my mind, wondering why they would try to hurt us. How could they have done this? When? What if they trapped us to be here the entire time?
