The Mysterious Dream (3)

3- WELCOME TO THE DREAMWORLD 

"Oh No...My eyes.!!!” Shane shouted covering his eyes... They were in the dark so long and the place they reached by the mirror was so bright... So that they couldn't even open their eyes...When They entered the mirror, they lost control and found themselves in sitting positions...Lavender ran her hands around to figure out the place... She only realized that she was in a grassy area...A strange and amazing scent was surrounding them...Lavender tried hard and after a while, she finally could open her eyes...

All she could do was whispering... “Wow...” The place was eye-catching...It was so extraordinary...It looked like a beautiful garden but something was really strange about that place... She wanted to seek out but suddenly her attention went towards Shane and Melody...

"Are you both fine...?” She asked...

"Yeah...” Melody said rubbing her eyes...

"I'm not fine... I can't see anything... I think I lost my eyes... I've become blind...” Shane said...

"What to do with that donkey...!” Lavender said...

"Shane... You're fine... Slowly open your eyes...” Melody said looking at him leaning her head...

"Ok...” Shane said and tried to open his eyes...The glaring light hurt him, but he tried and slowly opened his eyes... The first thing he saw was an angelic face in front of him... He didn't know the girl with him all the time was that beautiful... She smiled at him...He smiled back... Then his gaze traveled to Lavender who was beside Melody... He expected she would look scary, arrogant, and cold... But surprisingly, she looked elegant, stylish, and soft...

"Aha...Finally, I can see...” He said happily... Lavender stood up looking around...Melody also stood up...

"What's this place now...?” Lavender said putting her hands on her waist...

"Whatever, it's so much better than the dark place...” Shane said putting his hands on the ground and leaning backward...He put his leg onto another as if he was going to stay there forever... Lavender didn't prefer his relaxed expression...She just didn't like that crazy guy...

( Lavender was wearing jeans and a white shirt...As she wore in her home when she was committing suicide... Her hair was golden brown and straight, reached her waist when she tied it up... She was over 5 feet and her skin color was fair...

Shane was wearing a yellow T-shirt and black trousers as he was wearing when learning to ride...His hair was black and simple...His height was nearly Lavender's and his skin was also fair...He had a bit strong and well structure...

Melody was wearing a black cloth and pink skirt which reached her knees... Her hair was also straight and reached her shoulder...The color was brown and there were sunglasses on her head... She was also like the time in the car... Her height was as Shane's shoulders... )

"Yeah...We must be thankful for getting out of there...” Melody said...

"But we can't be here forever... If we are really alive, we have to go back to our world where we belong to...”

"Yeah...But how to go back to our home... We don't even know the name of this place...” Melody said...

"I...think...there must be some kind of living things, that's why we can survive... So let's search for that person or whatever, maybe it'll help...” Lavender said...

"Wow...You're so intelligent, Lav!” Shane said sitting straight...

"Don't ever dare to call me like this...!” Lavender said aggressively pointing to his face...They both didn't understand what made her so angry...

"Why...?Oh...! I see...” Shane said standing up with a serious expression..."He called you like this, right...?” He said and Lavender looked at the other side hiding her tears...

"Don't lie, you tried to kill yourself because of him...right...?”

"Yes... So...? What'll you do...? Look! Don't be too smart and stay away with my matters...It's the best for you...” Lavender said looking at him as a drop of tear fell from her eye...

"Stop fighting...Lavender, please calm down...” Melody said holding her shoulders..."Shane, you too... We're going through something that we even don't know...We need each other...”

"I'm sorry, Lavender...” He said and Lavender looked at him..."Or should I call you sister...” He asked smiling...

"You're indeed a fool...” Lavender said and went from there...Then what happened next was all surprising... They blinked several times as they couldn't believe their eyes...A glowing golden palace was standing in front of them... It was so tall and large that out of their imaginations...A lot of people were going here and there...

"Oh My Gosh...It's a castle...!” Lavender said slowly...

"No...That kind is called a palace...” Shane said...

"Whatever...It's like we're standing in centuries back...” Melody said...

"Are we traveled back the time... Like in the movies...?” Shane asked...

"We would know only when we go into it...”

"What if they don't let us in...?” Melody said...

“All we need is to talk with someone... Whether it's a gatekeeper or cleaner...”

Lavender said and they went towards the palace gate... First, they met was two gatekeepers, as they expected... They were finding words to tell, while the two gatekeepers bowed them and opened the gate for them... Their eyes widened...They didn't think that would be easy like that...

"Actually, we need help...can you please tell...” Lavender said and before she finished, the gatekeeper interpreted...

"Welcome back to our Dream World...We are so glad to see you back...” One of the gatekeepers said...His voice was like resounding...

"Welcome back...? Hey uncle, we reached here for the first time...” Shane said...

"Please go inside, Your Highness...You'll know everything...” Another gatekeeper said...

"Your Highness...?” They all repeated together surprisingly...

"What's that mean...?” Melody asked...

"It's a way to address a respectable person...” He said...

"Respectable and he...? Cool...” Lavender whispered...

"I don't understand... Why are you so respecting him...?” Melody asked...

"You'll understand everything inside, My lady...” He said and all surprised again...They went a bit distance and...

"What's that...? Your Highness...?My lady...?” Shane whispered with a disturbed manner...

"Maybe that's the way they address everyone...” Melody said...

"Anyways, let's talk clearly and go back as soon as possible...” Lavender said and went near them aging...

"Ann... Uncle...We just wanted to know...”

“A special one will answer all of your questions... Go to the royal hall, My Queen...” 

"Huh...” Lavender said with a very confused manner...That time, it shocked all of them...They wouldn't address everyone 'My Queen'...

"Come... Let's go inside, otherwise, we'll be insane...” Lavender said as she held Melody's hand...They all passed the gate, and the gatekeepers kneeled down in respect...They looked at them confusedly and walk ahead...Then a man came near them and led the way... They followed him without understanding anything...Soon they stood in front of a grand door and the door opened suddenly... The man gestured them to go inside... They confusedly walked through the large hall... Strange thing was that everyone in that royal hall was staring at them differently... And as they passed by them, they all put their right hand onto the left side of the chests and put down their heads...

"What are they doing...?” Melody whispered...

"It's a kind of showing respect... I've watched in the royal series...” Shane said...

"But why...? We don't even know them...” Melody said... As they reached near the place where the two shining thrones were placed, they went to the side and stood in a corner...

"Your Highnesses, Please take your seats...” A man wearing as a general said...Then they looked around, they didn't see any seat empty... So they looked at the man...

"Where...are our seats...?” Lavender asked with a very low tone...The man respectfully gestures them to follow him and went near the throne... They followed him going through the stairs covering with a very soft red carpet...He gestured Shane to sit down at the closest seat to the right throne... He looked at the grand seat, which had a golden body and a red cushion on it... He felt uneasy but sat down... Then he turned toward Melody who seemed to be the most nervous... He smiled at her and she shortly smiled back... Then he softly held her hand and gestured her to sit down on the closest seat to the left throne...It also was exactly like Shane's seat... Or to be correct, it was not less than the thrones... After Melody, he looked at Lavender gesturing towards the throne of the left side...Their eyes widened...

"Are you sure...?” Lavender asked...

"Very sure...” He said and Lavender simply went and sat on the throne ignoring his crazy behaviors...

The man went down the stairs and faced them...

"You may have a lot of questions... But have patience... Everything is going to be clear... The King will arrive here very soon...” He said and all they could do was taking long sighs...Everyone was looking at them, and they were just looking at the ground or each other...It was not easy to be at everyone's attention, especially when they were not like them and they didn't know them also...Their costumes were also so different and their behaviors were at another level of nonsense...Controlling their curiosities, and anxieties, eventually they heard a clang... Their hearts also vibrated like that sound and they suddenly looked at the door... There came a man wearing an indigo costume with black trousers...A cloth was dangling from his shoulders to his knees on the back...As he came ahead, his wavy hair which reached his shoulder moved backward by his speed... Everyone kneeled as he passed them...He was a living statue of attraction... His strong structure was like nothing and his face, was out of description... His eyes were enough to trap anyone... Who is he...? They all wondered...

As he reached the stairs, he put one leg on the step and looked at them... They all stood up as looking at him... His lip moved as a small smile on his calm face and his eyes were looking at them one by one emotionally...Then he slowly went near them...

"Sir... You must be the King, they're talking about...Can you help us...” Lavender said with a slight tremble in her voice...

"It's not sir... They are called ‘Your Majesty’...Right, Your Majesty...?” Shane said and the King looked at him smiling...

"Whatever you're... Can you answer our questions...? If not, we don't have time to waste...” That time, her voice wasn't trembling... It was a clear tone and the King looked at her with his raising eyebrows...

"You haven't changed...! What is your current name...?” The King said... His voice also was as attractive as his look...

"What do you mean, current name...? Name is name...” Lavender said...

"Alright... What is your name...?” He said sitting on the throne beside Lavender...They all sat down after him...

"Lavender Smith...”

"Lavender...” He repeated...“And yours...?” He asked looking at Shane...

"I'm Shame...I mean Shane... Addison...”

“Shane...” He chuckled and looked at Melody...“You dear...?”

"I'm Melody Steve... Your... Your...” She said looking at the ground...The King stood up and went near her...Then squatted in front of her...

"You can call me Noah...” He said and looked at Lavender and Shane..."You both too, call me Noah...” He said...Shane stood up and...

"Please... We are lost from our world... Help us if you can... Otherwise, let us go and find out the solution by ourselves...” He said impatiently...The King stood up and a frown appeared on his face...Then he stood in the middle of them...

"Why don't you go and rest for a while... You must have traveled far...For your questions, I have most of their answers... I'll meet you at night, and then let's discuss everything...” He said and forced himself to smile again...

"For now...Welcome To The Dream World...!!!”
