The boy who saved the light

Chapter 11

I woke up to find myself in another dream. I looked around to see stands filled with food, wooden items and other related things. I seemed to be in the streets of a town. Was this some kind of market?

Anyone who was on the dirt road moved to the side, so did as well. Two boys in slightly fancy outfits were walking down the path. I think those are the same twins from my other dream. Are they both royalty? I wasn't expecting that out of this storyline my dream was giving me.

"Hello young kings to be!" An older man who had a stand filled with various things he had crafted called over to them. They both walked over to say hello.

"Hi there Mr. Herman!"

"Oh please, call me Gregory."

They talked for a while before he said he had to go get someone. I had figured out that most people's stands were in front of their houses, so it didn't take long for him to poke his head inside. "Honey? Can you come outside for a minute?"

A young woman with long, light blonde hair in a nice braid stepped outside and walked over to the stand. "I don't think you've met my daughter, Isabella."

She was beautiful. And I don't think I was the only one who thought that. "Um... Hello."

"Hi."

The boy couldn't seem to find anything else to say. And I could tell that this was love at first sight. I thought that this was amazing.

I then realized that I have never experienced this myself. I don't think I've ever felt love. I did want to focus on school before getting into any of that stuff.

Maybe that's why I haven't experienced that yet.

There was some awkward silence for a few seconds before the young prince spoke again. "W-well, I have some other things I need to get done, so I guess I'll see you around?"

"Yeah, I guess."

The young prince walked away, clearly looking flustered. His brother was still standing there, talking to the old man. I looked at his face more closely. Wait a minute.

He looks like... me!

Before I could do anything else, the world started disappearing again, but this time I didn't wake up. The ground re-appeared underneath me, but there was nothing else around me except the same figure from my first dream that was like this. Why was I seeing this again? This was odd, and I felt weird.

"H-hello? Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am. But I know who you are."

I suddenly shot up, hyperventilating.

"What in the world was that?"

For the rest of the day I tried not to think about that strange dream that was kind of a nightmare. Whenever I thought about it, I got a strange sense of dread, and I hated that.

After school I was helping Nicholas with other homework besides Geometry. It was a little bit harder since I wasn't in those classes but I was managing. I thought about the dream again. I really wanted to tell Nicholas about it, but part of me didn't want to.

"Hey, Wilbur? You're spacing out again." Nicholas said. He seemed a little bit worried.

I snapped back into reality. "Huh? Oh, sorry. I just had another weird dream last night."

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked. "If it'll help me to not think about it anymore, then yeah."

I stopped what I was doing and mentally prepared myself for this. "I hope he doesn't think I'm crazy." I thought. He's seen me do magic. I was sure he wouldn't think that I was crazy. Besides, it's just a dream. That doesn't mean that it's real.

"So the dream started in this small town..." I explained the rest of the dream to him. I told him everything, even the shadowy figure at the end. "It said 'you don't need to know who I am but I know who you are.' What does that mean?!" Nicholas put his hand on my shoulder. "I don't think it means anything. You just had a nightmare. It's perfectly fine to be cautious."

I started to calm down. "You're right. It was just a nightmare." I still couldn't help but feel like some of that was real...

Nicholas spoke again. "So... completely unrelated and off topic, would you like to go to one of my games? I have one coming up soon, and I would be really happy if you did."

I thought about it for a second, and then realized I didn't have to think. "Yes! I would love to!"

"Great! The next one I have is this week on friday. Do you think you can make that one?"

"Yeah, I don't think I have anything else going on that afternoon."

"Okay. I guess I'll see you then."

On Friday night I grabbed my bag with everything I needed in it and headed outside. I also had the keys to my own car.

My parents had gotten me a car just before the school year started. They had saved up some money and thought that I was responsible enough to have one. They taught me how to use it, and I did go to a driving school for about 2 weeks. I needed a license in order to drive anywhere. I usually asked them before I actually went anywhere, and they said yes to this. So I was heading over to the school to watch Nicholas's game.

I opened the car door and sat down, turning on the ignition. I then began to drive over to school. When I got there, I paid the money for admission and then sat down on the bleachers.

There he was.

Nicholas was down there, in the court.

And I couldn't help but wave.
