[ WP ] Write a story of a person whose dreams continue a single story each night .

It started a week ago, every single night when she would drift off to sleep she'd be back in that same strange place. So far she had thoroughly explored the lake and the field around it she found a trail leading into the woods, she was about to travel it when she woke, but she figured she'd get the chance tonight. She always seemed to be in the exact spot she left off at. 
 
 Sure enough as soon as she fell asleep she found herself on the path facing a forest. It was no normal forest, nothing here was normal, the sky was purple and there seemed to be two suns, the grass was blue, the water green and yet sparkaling clean. She had seen birds that seemed to have skin more like that of a reptiles, and something larger like a deer at the edge of the forest that was white with red antlers. Most of the trees had white trunks and leaves that looked like fall colors, yet there was nothing to suggest the leaves would be falling. The suns were setting behind her and she wondered breifly if that meant she was facing east, but quickly decided probably not, clearly things do n't work like that here. She moved onward, normally she'd be afraid but this was only a dream, albeit the weirdest dream she or possibly anyone had ever experienced, but a dream just the same. 
 
 She had been traveling half the night the path the moons were high in the sky, she could n't quite tell how many there were through the canopy but she could tell it was more than one. Each new part of forest looked very similar to the last she'd pass the occasional unique tree or bush but she had n't seen anything that really stood out, nor had she encountered anything alive. She was starting to get a little tired, which surprised her she did n't think that would happen in a dream and it led her to wonder why it had n't happened a little sooner she was n't in bad shape, but she was no athlete either. She had noticed that she felt lighter but she did n't think much about it previously she felt light and stronger, it was a rather nice feeling. She noticed ahead of her the path she was on intersected with another one. 
 
 She came to the four way and looked as far as she could down each of the three possible directions and then she chose to go right. After a little while she was getting much much more exausted and she knew she'd have to rest soon. Then, beep - beep - beep, she woke up, still feeling exausted, and pushed the off button on her alarm clock. She got dressed and went to class in a daze. She took a seat at the back of the room as the proffesor came in and immediately launched into his lecture for the day. She rested her head in her hand and soon she was asleep again. 
 
 Back on the trail and still exausted she noticed a floating light ahead of her, she stared and soon realized it was moving. She took a few more steps forward then heard a voice call, `` Is someone there?'' It was a mans voice. 
 
 `` Yes, hello, can you help me?'' She called back, `` I think I'm lost, and very tired.'' She said while approaching him. She stopped dead when he came into view. His skin was a light greenish color with darker green markings up his arms, he was bald and had pointy ears like she'd associate with mythical elves, he did n't seem to have a nose, and his eyes there were three of them bright violet eyes two in the normal place and another right on his forehead. 
 
 `` Well hello there,'' He greeted her and smiled, `` if you are in need of rest food and drink you are in luck, you are very close to my cabin I'd be happy to help.'' His smile faded a little, `` Something wrong? you're staring.'' 
 
 `` Your skin... its green.'' 
 
 `` Typical,'' he became angry, `` too good for my help then blue?'' 
 
 `` Blue?'' 
 
 `` Yeah you nobles and your blue skin you're not better than me.'' 
 
 `` Blue skin...'' She held up her arms in front of them and let out a scream her arms were very much like the man's but they were indeed light blue with dark blue markings. She reached up and felt her long ears and smooth head she ran her hand over her forhead and was slightly releived not to find a third eye altough she did n't find a nose either. 
 
 `` What's wrong with you?'' he asked starting to beleive it was n't a classist he'd found so much as a crazy person. 
 
 `` I'm.. I'm not me.'' 
 
 `` Well then who are you?'' 
 
 `` I do n't know, but I should be human, I should have peachy skin and blonde hair and blue eyes, what color are my eyes?'' 
 
 `` Green...'' he answered backing up slowly, `` what's a human?'' 
 
 `` I... I was... everyone, everyone on Earth.'' She sat down to calm herself and catch her breath for a moment. 
 
 `` Earth, now that sounds familiar...'' he thought on it for a moment than his eyes widend. `` Oh my gods, you're her, your Terana.'' 
 
 `` That name,'' she looked at him. That was n't her name her name is Eliza but that seemed so familiar. `` Terana...'' 
 
 `` You have to come with me, we have to let them know you're home!'' He seemed very excited now. 
 
 `` Home, but this is n't my...'' 
 
 `` Miss Patterson!'' Eliza jumped, she looked around the now empty lecture hall the Professor was now in front of her. `` If you are only gon na sleep through my class you may as well not show up.'' She stood up gathering her things and mumbling apologies and quicly left the room, she had more classes that day but instead she decided she had to get back to her dorm, she had to find out about that place, about Terana, this was suddenly very important. 
 
 She ran up to her room door fumbled with her key a bit before unlocking the door and rushing inside. She did n't even go to her bed instead opting to drop her books on the coffee table and collapse on the couch. She returned to that trail the the forest. 
 
 `` Who is Terana?'' She asked urgently. 
 
 `` Come, I'll explain on the way..'' he insisted and they started walking. `` When the King and Queen's daughter was born the country was in turmoil, we were at war and the royal family in danger. So they decided they needed to send the new princess, Terana, somewhere where she'd be safe.'' Eliza hung on every word he spoke. `` So they took her to a great warlock and asked for his help, with a spell he was able to send her somewhere safe as well as transform her into a form that would be accepted in that place, that place was Earth.'' 
 
 `` And you think I'm her...'' 
 
 `` You did say you were from Earth right, only one person was ever sent to Earth. The magic was supposed to wear off when the war ended, but that was some time ago. We all thought that it simply failed and we'd never see you again. Ahh here we are.'' They were now standing in front of a nice looking cabin made of the white trees. `` Come we can contact someone inside, everyone will want to know you've returned to us, expecially your parents.'' 
 
 `` They're still here.'' She became excited she was an orphan and had never had parents, she'd been adopted a couple times, but they always changed their mind. 
 
 `` Yes indeed they are, your little brother as well he was born shortly after the war ended.'' Inside the cabin was very cozy. He walked over to a small table with what appeared to be a crystal ball on it. 
 
 `` Contact the town gaurd'' he said to it. Clouds swirled inside and a mans face appeared in the ball. 
 
 `` Yes, what is it you need?'' 
 
 `` My name is Fark, I have found Princess Terana, she was walking the trails in the Red Forest.'' 
 
 `` Are you sure?'' The gaurd sounded skeptical. 
 
 `` Have a look,'' Fark pushed the ball towards her and the gaurd looked closly.'' 
 
 `` By the gods, it is her, she looks just like the queen, a carriage will arrive shortly.'' 
 
 `` Why do n't you rest til they get here,'' Fark suggested getting up and pouring a glass of water for her. She took a few sips and despite being excited at the prospect of being a princess and having a family she fell asleep. She did n't dream of anything, she had a restful nap. 
 
 Fark woke her up a short time later, `` they are here for you, Princess.'' She walked with him out the front door and there was a beautiful carriage being pulled by horse like creatures with black fur. A couple of gaurds stood in front of the door into the carriage. 
 
 `` Princess,'' The greeted her bowing. `` The King and Queen have been notified they are excited to finally see you again.'' The gaurd opened the carriage door. `` They will be meeting us halfway on your journey.'' 
 
 `` Alright, thank you.'' She said stepping up into the carriage and taking her seat, she could still hardly beleive it. The gaurd gave a curt bow then shut the door and soon the carriage was on its way. A feeling of peace and comfort overwhelmed her. She was home. 
 
 Eliza's roomate Jessie came home after class to find Eliza's stuff thrown everywhere she was slightly irritated at the mess. It was n't until much later that night when Eliza never came back that she realized something was wrong and reported her missing. No one ever heard from her again.
