Bed Time Story

As I ate my breakfast I had a curious feeling that I had to see the end of the dream I had had that night. So I finished my bread and went back to bed. I was so excited about it that after a couple of minutes. I was back in the dream, standing at the entrance to this terrifying dark cave, along with Liadan and Cavin. But for you to understand the whole story, I must start from the beginning.

Liadan, Cavin and myself were the most adventurous, brave, curious and friendly children in the whole town of Goldshire. Everybody knew us as the inseparable group.

One day Cavin told us he had heard his father talking about this place full of secrets, Redridge Mountains. Liadan and I had heard our fathers talking about it as well. They spoked about this hidden treasure up in the mountains.

We had never been there because it was a 3-hour journey just to get there. But we had our chance in a couple days. At the following weekend, the Noblegarden Festival was going to take place so we could disappear for the whole day without our parents noticing it.

With all the excitement that day came sooner than we thought. We hit the road and finally arrived in Redridge Mountains.

Once on the mountains we climbed and walked along these short paths until we found ourselves at the entrance of this terrifying, dark cave. We stood there in silence for a couple of minutes with all these fearful thoughts running through our minds.

“So guys”, said Cavin, the bravest one, “Let’s get in there and find that treasure”. Without a word, Liadan and I just followed him.

After being covered with webs we found the chest. We were excited, jumping and hugging each other but there was no lock on the chest. Although it was suspicious, we would never guess what was to come.

As we opened the chest there was only a letter at the bottom which had our names on it. Our hearts started pumping harder, but it wasn’t excitement anymore. Now it was terror!

Cavin opened the letter and it was just a blank sheet. Nothing was written besides our names. Suddenly we heard footsteps throughout the cave. We just froze in terror.

It was Cavin's father to our surprise.

Our parents had set it all up so we could get caught out of town. They suspected we would get caught. They suspected we were crossing the line and going beyond the borders of Silverpine Forest. Not even with all the warnings from our mothers would we stop.

Once home, Liadan’s father had a word with mine before leaving. Immediately my father turned to me. He started giving me a piece of his mind when I just woke up. "Woah! What a silly dream" I thought.I think this dream alerted me to the consequences I could face in the future.

“Stephen, wake up! We are already late to the Noblegarden Festival!", said my mother.
