The dream!
" ouch ! " Zurie exclaimed as she fell heavily to the floor. She could not understand the force that had brought her down to the strange land she found herself. She was totally helpless as it controlled her movement, she saw no one, but felt a powerful presence around the vicinity that griped her strongly. Zurie resisted as the force wanted her to keep moving, however she fell to the floor in pains she she almost cracked her knee. Her joints ached from the pressure she had put into her failed resistance. She understood she was fighting with a supernatural force greater than her in all ramification, she was sweating profusely, as the heat coming from the sun was enough to dry her up. The force came again like a whirlwind, she could feel it over shadow her. It wrapped her and pushed her with a speed as fast as the flash of a light. She rolled without control, until she came to a beautiful gate and stopped.
Zurie was tired. She layed helplessly with her eyes closed, breathing very fast.
" serves you right huh ? " Zurie heard someone speak.
She felt to tired to even open her eyes, her throat burned of thirst. The scorching sun was drying her up more quickly than she could fathom. It took sometime before zurie could open her eyes. A young lady was standing before her. The picture of the lady was still blur as Zurie hadn't fully opened her eyes. She strained her eyes to get a good view tiredly.
The young lady was fair and beautiful to look upon. Her hair was short. It was black and grey in color. She wore a black wavy skirt, and had beautiful tattoo of flowers on her skin, Zurie had to manage to open her eyes as the woman seemed familiar. It felt like she had seen her somewhere before.
She blinked more often than not as she continued to stare at the lady, who just stared back at her as she layed on the floor.
She had the look and features of a girl named Fiona in the book Zurie was writing for the writers award competition, that her states organized every year.
" Who are you and what is this place ? " zurie finally found some strength to speak.
" Welcome to the land of the warriors, where the beauty of love and romance originates. Welcome to Dahlia ! " The lady spoke calmly. Zurie was startled and at the same time scared, because the ladys voice echoed like the sound of many Waters as she spoke.
" Dahlia ? ( Zurie repeated as her eyes nearly popped out its sockets ) and you're ? " She asked still very confused
" Fiona ! As you well know before now ! " The lady spoke yet again.
" No way ! Not the my fictitious stories becoming real in my head " she said panting
" You want a cup of water ( the lady asked ignoring Zurie's drama ) I see you're shrinking from thirst ! " She asked Zurie
Zurie looked at her like one staring at an apparition. " No ! " she managed to reply
" What I'm I doing in this place ? What is this place " Zurie asked simultaneously trying to sit up.
" Trust me, you'd be glad you took my offer of taking a glass of water first ! " The lady spoke again. Each time her voice came forth, it sent down shivers down zurie's spine.
" I want to go home, I don't understand all of this ! " zurie resisted again
" You have been chosen ! You shall carry out this task, it's your cause to fulfill. "
" chosen for what exactly ? ( Zurie asked in total confusion ) Look all I can say is you are one of the characters in my book, I do not even understand how you came to be in existence in the first place, but then you are supposed to remain fictitious and existent only in my head I am definitely the wrong person, obviously there is a mix-up some where . " Zurie explained.
The lady laughed out, as her voice rang in echoes
" What you see now began before your world was created, the moment you were chosen for this assignment is as old as time itself. The time wasn't just appropriate yet. But the time is now Zurie! There's been so much injustice, I will not condole it anymore! And you are going to help me achieve it. " The lady spoke again
" ( Zurie's eyes widened. You know my name as well ? " She asked still really confused.
" If you want to talk, them let's go in and speak, this hotness is not good for me " Zurie said pointing at the building
" You speak as though you have forgotten that you wrote with your hands that this beautiful building is a prohibited zone for I and my kinds ? ( The lady asked her again in a mocking tone, smiling wryly ) we will go back to the wilderness with scorching sun that you put us into. That's were we are allowed to be and go to ! " Fiona spoke harshly
" What do you want from me ? " Zurie asked again
" It's time to recreate a familiar story Zurie, it's time to change the land of Dahlia! Zurie you must help us change our world. The Kente tribe demands their sovereignty. We want a fair share of what happens in Dahlia. I want Rian especially, I love him! Tessa is living my life. Now get up we must get going. " She said and controlled zurie with her hands. It felt like she had a remote controller in her hands, as zurie felt her self lifted to the air in a twinkling of an eye, then lady left her hanging
" Where are we going ? " Zurie asked fearfully, loosing control over herself again
" It is time ! " She announced again, as they were wrapped in the whirlwind again, and moved with so much speed.
" Arrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhgg! " Zurie screamed.
She screamed out of sleep. The spot on which she layed was totally wet from her own sweat.
" What sort of a dream is this ? " She asked as she switched on the light.
