If i get enough comments i will extend it.
It was damp, smelled of earth and pine, I heard leaves rustle, twigs snap as animals scurried in the tree tops. I wasn't supposed to be here, this wasn't my room, my bed. I was supposed to me in by cottage on eagle lake. I was supposed to be asleep, top bunk with my younger brother Elliot on the bottom. I was supposed to be smelling fabric softener and hear the soft snore from little Elli, feel the heat of my cat sleeping on my chest. I opened my eyes and I could see the sky, black with soft twinkle of a million star and the florescent glow of the moon. I sat up, my body aced and I was shivering. My breath crystallized as I exhaled, it was far to chilly for a summer night. My jeans were caked in mud and my white t-shirt was clinging , wet, to my
skin. I got up, it was much too dark to be safe to walk around. I couldn't remember anything. Why am I in the forest? Was all I could think. I shuffled my feet along the ground, hands extended in front of me in case I fell. My stomach hurt and my right leg was rather limp, I didn't know where I was going, I was scared, every noise I heard caused beads of sweat to form on my forehead. My white blond hair clung to my face, I told myself ' your never going to find your way out, give up' but I couldn't, I made a promise. I tripped and stumbled down trails. I only wanted to go home to my family. To see the face of the one I tried so hard to protect and care for. The one who was more than an annoying little boy, I promised I would not forget and I wanted to keep that promise. I finally sat back down, to weak and feverish to continue. Was someone looking for me? I laid back down and closed my eyes. Just yesterday I turned 14. I remember the sundress I wore, my chocolate cake saying Happy Birthday Ivory. My mother, father and my blond, blue eyed brother all smiling at me. So happy then, and now I'm here. I heard movement, I started to sweat, I opened my eyes. Sitting up I looked left and right, my eyes met his. It was a man, hair long and silver, dressed in long robes of black. He looked kind but I knew something was wrong because as he approached fear crept up. He reached down and pulled a piece of paper from my ear. He showed it to me, it read memories. What does that mean? I wondered. He then pulled a small hand gun from the robe and pointed it to me, three clear shot, and my shirt was now scarlet. I felt no pain, no fear. I laid my head back down and watched the man as he watched me fade away. Was I dying? Probably, there was no possible way to survive that. I couldn't die, I was confused, I wanted the comfort of my brother, of my cat, I made a promise. I had to live, it was just this morning I promised, I couldn't remember who it was, a young boy. I promised a young boy I would go canoeing with him. Why was I forgetting this? But I saw it, spots of light that would come and go, the forest left me and I opened my eyes. Another unfamiliar place, a man and a women stood beside me, a little blond blue eyed boy no more than 9 sitting on the edge of my bed.
"Your awake, I was scared you fell out of the canoe and I couldn't help you I thought you were dead" said the little boy.
I was supposed to know them I knew that. They tell me I almost drown, I was canoeing with the little boy, his names Elliot, the man and women are my mother and father. The promise , the little boy I promised, I had fought so hard for. Or was that just a dream. It was so real, and now I don't remember. I'm was scared again, I wished I could remember, they loved me, they were supposed to be my family. But to me they are now strangers. I see the happiness fade from the boys face.
"Ivy, you remember me right? It's me Elli." Tears well up in his eyes. I don't, I want to remember but I don't. I promised I wouldn't forget.

Bounce your head, snap
To the classic, to the rap
Step ball change
Basic with a buck
Pleay, tour jete
Bounce your head to the rock
One two three,
Two two three,
Count along with your head
Mosh with the beat
Hop shuffle hop back
Twirl your arms, bend your back
Do the thingamajiggie
Wear out your taps
Breathe it in, breathe it out
Reach for the sky, dance on the ground
Flitter here, gallop there
Lose yourself anywhere
Flow with the music
Feel it in your veins
As you bounce your head, snap
Boom boom clap
As light fades the brightest of souls can even be turned to do the darkest of things. As time time pushes forward the mind and body of an individual changes for either good or bad. the decisions they make and the things they do will stick with them forever. I was told this many years ago by a wise old man that fortold my future. He said "the one with the dragon soul is not alone in the world he knows." After being told this it left me nothing but confused but i had a feeling that it wouldn't be the last time i heard of it.
