dream or reality?

_For some reason, strange pictures were woven before my eyes again, and my vision was blurred, maybe I drank too much? No, I think I only took 2 glasses._

Looking at the floor, Mary saw chestnut-colored boots coming closer and closer towards her, and raising her head she saw Ray.

: Hey! long time no see, haha..

:Ah, yes, congratulations on your evening..

 : Why alone? Everyone is dancing and you're huddled in the corner.

 Shall we go and dance?

 : No, I'll manage myself, thank you

 : Well, why are you so stubborn... don't spoil the fun.

 : umm, I'm just a little unwell, I'll go, thank you and see you later.

:Already leaving? then, let's meet tomorrow?

I will text you!

As she left the banquet hall, she heard footsteps, they became louder and louder...

Turning around she saw him...

She looked at him with peeling eyes and could not say anything.

And he looked at her with an arrogant gaze and, grinning, lowered himself to her ear and whispered: see you again..Iera..

After his unexpected words, he disappeared without a trace...

_what is this, lately I've been having very frequent hallucinations, I should ask Anna to buy me pills for headaches, maybe I should go to a psychologist at the same time? I need to return, it's already past midnight._

Since she left after saying goodbye to the birthday boy, she had no choice but to return home on foot.

_it's all Lila's fault, I could have saved money and used the bus twice instead of a taxi, I think I'll be dragging along for a long time._

High heels rubbed her ankle until it bled, and calluses appeared on her fingers. She was barely walking and decided to sit down on the grass near the road.

_I will never wear heels again, every time it's the same suffering, how long have I been going down this hill? 20 minutes? Or even all 30..._

The forest at night is truly beautiful. In the twilight, it seems shrouded in some enchanting mystery that you just want to unravel.

In addition to the cries of an owl, you can hear the melodic buzzing of insects, the quiet rustle of grass in which rodents swarm, and the light whisper of trees swaying their leaves in the wind. The forest clearing fell asleep, the flowers also fell asleep, preparing to bloom in the morning and show all their beauty with drops of dew on the buds.

You can look at this picture forever.

 The wilderness is interesting in all its manifestations. Overgrown paths attract walkers with their impassability, and you just want to find out what is hiding behind them and what secrets the forest keeps.

 Sitting on the terrace and watching the lovely secrets of the night view, she began to nod and fell asleep while sitting.

_what's that noise?

Shut up!

It Hurt!

It burns!

Enough!

Stop!

I'm begging!

_ Where I am?_

Opening her eyes, she saw a village, she was tied to a tree and residents with torches stood in front of her.

*: Iera! Tell me quickly where are your parents .

An elderly man about 50 years old yelled at her

And behind him a lady with scarlet eyes began to mutter; she was an albino and her hair merged with the color of the moon.

*: it's their family... it's them, they, they, they started the fire, it's their fault, it's all their fault...

: hey, enough already!

She was interrupted by a boy of 12-15 years old, he had emerald green eyes and charcoal hair like night, carelessly falling on his long thick eyelashes.

: She already said that she was not guilty, and who told you that it was her parents who threw the fire into the forest? And she, too, was on the verge of death from that burning..

Not understanding what was happening around Mary asked: where am I?
