• About fifteen minutes later A.J. pulled into a driveway. The house was huge! Almost like a mansion.
    "We're home~!" A.J. started singing. I looked over to Romeo and his jaw had hit the floor. I
    wanted to do the same, but I was in shock.

    "This is your house?" Nobody around our area was even close to having enough money to buy it. But A.J.'s family? "You didn't say you were this rich!"

    "I never even said I was," A.J. said looking at me through the rear view mirror. He parked the car next to the doors.

    "If you have butlers here I'm going to go bonkers!" Romeo said stepping out. He started reaching for the door handle.

    "No not that door Romeo," A.J. stuck the handcuffs back on.

    "Hey!" Romeo yelled.

    "I don't want you breaking anything in the house. Especially the chandeleer, if that breaks my mom will kill me. I can at least trust Tera not to touch anything," He started tugging bringing Romeo with him, and I following. We walked to the side of the house, and there was a doark wooden door that blended into the house color.
    When it opened there were stairs leadign to what my guess was the basment.

    "Oh very ominous!" Romeo said clapping his hands, while jumping up and down. A.J. leaned towards me.

    "Is there anything wrong with him?" He asked with a disturbed look.

    "Just think that je was dropped on his head, when he was a baby. I do, it solves all the problems," I kept a staright face when I said this.

    "Okay then, everybody down the stairs!" A.J. pushed us.

    "What do you want us to trip?" I stumbled when he had pushed.

    "Nope time is running out," A.J. said.

    "For what?" Romeo asked popping back in.

    "To get tot he Dream Realm." Well that sparked my interest. "There's only a certain times you can enter," He said telling us a fact.

    "But why haven't you taken me sooner?" I asked.

    "We weren't ready yet," I heard the deeper voice of Mark. I had jumped whenI had heard him.

    "Your dreams are actually glimpses of what the Nightshade forces want to do to you," Rachel said appearing from behind her husband.

    "Why me then?" I wanted to know more about this.

    "Oh yayz drama!!"

    "Rome! Quiet this is important!" I yelled. He said sorry back, with that puppy dog look that nobody could resist. "Later," I told him, not wanting to listen to his whinning.

    "What has been your most recent dream, Tera?" Rachel said while grabbing my arm and leading me into the room. It was kind of odd. It had five beds that were circulating the room. And then there were five of us.

    "Uh," I paused thinking. "The Nightshade people had a bloody knife, and I was lying on the floor dead," I sat down on one of the beds.

    "Well that's not good," Mark had put his hand to his face in a thinking suggestion.

    "No! Tera's gonna die?" Romeo blurted.

    "Romeo!" Once again I yelled.

    "Yes?" Now why did he sound so happy go lucky? "Remember what I said earlier?"

    "Be quiet," He saw my point after saying it. "Oh!"

    "Yeah," I then looked back at A.J.

    "They are planning to kill you, and take over the entire world of dreams." A.J. was looking at everyone, but they were silent, even Romeo to my surprise. Many things began to run through my mind at what he said. If the dReam Realm was truly real thenI wanted to help in a any kind of way.

    "How do we get there?" Mark smiled at me.

    "You just have to fall asleep of course," Rachel announced.

    "We'll meet you on the other side becasue we have to make sure you get over safely," A.J. said. I thought back to when he said that only certain people could get there.

    "What about Romeo? Why'd you bring him if only certain people have the ability to there?" I was worried what if the only reason they brought him here was for like a sacrafice, so that we could go into the Dream Realm.

    "Good question my dear. You see Romeo is one of those people, and plus he's part of your families stories," Rachel went on while telling me to lye down, and relax. Everyone except he lyed down on a bed, Romeo was even so willingly to join in.

    "A.J. why isn't your mom lying down?" She was standing in the middle of a diagram on the floor.

    "My mom has the srongest mind here, and well she can get to the Dream Relam on her own . But unlike her we don't so we need the assistance, " A.J. began to explain. His mother had began to recite something in greek. Everything began to feel fuzzy, and cloudy. My eyes began to droop, and they closed, sending me into the pitch black.

    Was this really the way into the Dream Realm?
