7 7. Was it a dream?

I was woken up by the chirping birds. Ugh. Did they suddenly learn how to used loudspeaker or something? They are too loud.

"Shooo.go away bitd!" I said lazily. But as I turn my body, I heard the rustling leaves and feeling damp soil.

What a strong smell of dirt! I thought. It was then, I open my eyes and sit up in surprised. I shoved my hand through my hair to unblock my vision. For a moment there, I sat there like a statue, processing my memories.

My eyes widen as I remembered what had happened. I look around, searching for the fireball groups corpses. I'm sure that I had dropped not too far from their leader burnt body.. so? Why can't I see any of it?or any blue blood? Not even a trace of footsteps.. only mine was visible. Come to think of it, did they even step on the ground? Maybe they used some kind of magic to erase their trail or something? Did i dream the whole thing?

Standing up and brushing the dirt away from my clothes, I trace my way back to the cabin house. Looking around the place, everything was organised and sparkly clean. Unlike how it should be.

If I remembered it correctly, the whole house should be in disarray.. I walk around the house and went to the hobbit house. I still couldn't find anything at all. I scratched my head and sigh. Did I just imagine the whole thing?

Ugh!

"Shut up birds!!!" They had been chirping too loud from the moment I wake. And I can smell all kind of scent around me that I didnt notice before, and it made me dizzy. I put my hand on the nearest tree, to support me.

Vertigo. I'm Overload with everything around me. And I really, really want to throw up. Not good. I emptied out my stomach, unable to stop it.

I had to rest for few days before finally regaining my whole strength back. Oddly, I've suddenly acquire a sensitive nose and ears. Its quite a pain for me to train myself to ignore some of it. Imbalance caused me to feel like I'm riding a boat in a middle of a wavy sea. If I had slept with guys recently, I would've thought I had a little one growing in me but sadly, last time I had slept with any man was five years back. And it wasn't even a great memory to recall that soon I had forgotten about it.

I took my red jeep car and travel to the nearest town. These town were filled with peaceful and easy going people. They might be weird at times and believe in superstition but most of the time they are good people. And they don't like to meddle in anyone business unless they were asked to. Which work just fine by me.

The whole town was buzzing with people walking around. The road was paved with bright orange coloured bricks, with gothic style street lamps. They had big parks with beautiful green trimmed grass, full with kids and parents enjoying their time of the day. Some came in and out from the bakery shop to purchase their breakfast, some sipping their coffee enjoying it outside of the cafe.a decent town that have every kind of shop you would need. They even have fortune telling shop, and 'Witches Brew' shop that had caught my attention when I decided to move in this town.

You would expect people would come there to ridicule the shop, or throw something to cause some trouble to the shop but no. People come and out, smiling and laughing with the owner. I walk passed the shop when another customer came out from the shopped accompanied by old lady, the owner of it.

"Thanks for the medicinal herb, Laura. It did great wonders!"

"Sure, sure. Happy to help" then the old lady eyes trained on me, and surprise coloured her face. My eyebrows furrowed. Do I know her?

She open her mouth before shaking her heads off.

"Are you new here, young lady?"

"Kinda. I've been here for a month now."

"Then, be careful. If you need any help, just knock my door" said the old lady with a sigh. She slowly close her glass door and it rang with a bell.

Huh? O-kay.. never mind that. I need to go to the pharmacy, then buy more groceries and maybe shop for few clothes and shoes. I'm in need to distress, so its shopping time. They do have cute clothing stores around here..

Nothing interesting happen for a week and I was getting bored. I had read all of my books and I can help be keep on wondering about that night. Did I really dream about it?

Does magic really exist? Or was I just imagining it?

And night drew closer, unexpectedly I received another uninvited guest..
