Hello,

My name is S3NS!T!V3 LOVER, you can call me sen for short, and I hope you enjoy what I have written for this challenge. I was worried, but then I let go.

《 Dreamer》:

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space or so they say.

Yet, I'm sure they could hear the internal screams of my soul. Yelling at me to leave and to get away from here.

All I wanted to do in that moment was run away....

The sounds of my legs dragging me up the stairs, and echoed throught the halls. The wind whipped against my hand gently, as my hand slid across the dusty frame of the stair railing. I ran to my room quickly, as I rushed to reach my sanctuary.

The dark cloudy sky above this place I call my temporary home rumbled, as the sparkling stars began to disappear. My voice began to escape my lips slowly in the form of a small cry, and i bit my lip in urgency, to stop the sound from escaping my lips.

My tears began stinging my eyes and running down my face leaving their marks on my cheeks. The sounds of my step father and my sister arguing could be heard down stairs in our "home".

I shoved my bedroom door open, and felt disgusted at everything and everyone.

I flung my book bag across the room, as I began to pace like a wild animal in a cage.

I began to grip my hair, as my hands trembled to gain balance. I wanted to yell at the both of them. I wanted to: scream, kick, hit and throw everything.

Unfortunately, I knew I couldn't.

I covered my ears, and sat near the window seat. Where the rain began to paint its beautifully dark scenery in my world.

I held my legs close to my chest, as I began to watch the rain fall. I took a ragged deep breath, as I sat there. I began to focus on one sound to drown out their arguing.

DRIP ...DROP

The closer I listened to the droplets of water.

The less I heard being thrown around downstairs.

Drip.......Drip ....Drop

The rain drowned out my hearing, and awakend something deep within me.

My body goes limp ...my surroundings change.

I began to find myself secluded, an alone in a dark place.

"Hello..."

I said loud enough to be heard, but quiet enough to avoid anything lurking in the shadows from hearing me.

I yell louder... "Hello", but only to be greated by silence yet again. I look around in the darkness, as my eyes began to see differently.

I look around, and rub my hands together. My hands felt warm surprisingly. Considering, the fact I'm always complaining about being cold.

I stepped forward in front of me, as I feel water ripple below my barefeet.

Drip...

The sound of the droplet being released alerts my attention. Consequently, time seemed to move slowly between each droplet' impact with the ground.

......Drop

I blinked the droplet fell to the ground. The moment I closed my eyes. The barely wet floor began fill with water and slowly began to flood. I looked around the room in a panic, as the sound of water began to close in around me.

The droplets of water turned into streams. The streams turned into a wave that washed over me .... sending me underwater in a moments notice.

All I could do was, hold my breath, and squeeze my eyes shut. The waves crashing against my body. Sent me deep under the place i thought was the surface.

After, holding my breath for so long.

I forgot I was underwater.

I began to breathe in, and choked as the water slowly left from around my body. My lungs where met with the rushing sound air.

I gasped for air, as my flattened lungs where filled, and my legs hit solid ground. I knelt over my knees with my hands infront of me. I began to breathe, as the water on my body slowly dripped into the grass. where my fingers began to entangle themselves. Once they where met, by solid ground.

I open my eyes with ergency. I'm greeted, by a fresh breeze of flowers. That began to fill my nose. I lift my head slowly to look at my surroundings. I began to gaze in awe at a meadow in front of me. I smiled as the soft fluttering of a butterfly's wings gently kissed my nose.

"Hello" .... I say to the butterfly resting gently on the lily in front of me. I began to kneel, as I raise my hand gracefully to the sun. I took a deep breath filling my lungs with the most beautiful smells of a luxurious meadow.

The butterfly graced me with its presence once more. The monarch landed on my hand gently. I watched it slowly, as I held it up to the sun. The suns rays gleamed across the the butterfly's beautiful wings. The orange color in the monarch's wings stuck out me. Gluing my eyes to it once more, and like a short film of pictures slowly dancing across the screen. The butterfly effortlessly flapped its wings.

While watching the butterfly's strange behavior. I got this gut feeling that ... it was watching me back.

I began to think that maybe its observing me. I said aloud "how curious are you to want to know more about someone like me".

A rumble occurs around me causing the butterfly to flee, as if its life were endanger.

The change in the butterfly's behavior began to stir a panic inside of me. I began to feel the need to run again, just like before. Right before I found myself in this place. I reached out to the butterfly unknowly ... following it.

The butterfly began to flutter away. I start to run after the butterfly. My feet began hitting the ground, swiftly. My breath became ragged, as I understood finally something was behind me.

The sound of multiple pairs of feet hitting the ground sounded the alarm in my system for fight or flight. I could hear the heavy breathing of an animal behind me closing on the gap across the open meadow.

I kept running as I prepared for the worst to come. I looked around without looking back at my advancer, to see where I could hide. NOTHING ....

The hair on my body stood up, as im greated with a great pounce and the teeth of a lion.

I cry out in pain and in fear of being mauled.

HELP MEEEE.

I gasp for air, as I wake up from my deep sleep. I grab my face urgently as I look around while my head feels heavy and hazy. I look around slowly, before I begin to reach for my leg as the memory of that dream plays back to me. I hear the faint noise of my scream. I opened my eyes to slowly sit up on my bed.

I began to question what type of dream was that . I wanted to know if it was it real. My stomach began to hurt, as the sound of my bones crunching in the lions teeth rangout in my ears. I grab my head covering my ears quickly, as if that would stop the sound.

Unable, to sleep I layed in bed in silence with the rain. I tried to focus on staying awake to avoid falling back asleep.

However, I was unable to stay awake ....
