" That's a difficult question to answer. I know everyone's name before they come here so let's not focus on that let's focus on why you are here."

I wasn't believing a single word he was saying but like he said that's not why I'm here.

"I'll pretend I didn't ask you." he nodded. " I go to a different world every time I sleep. Not like a dream, it's like I have a completely different life over there. What's more confusing is that it's continuous. They have magic and it's all so weird although I find it so normal."I looked at him to see a reaction but he was just listening to me calmly and attentively.

" Some things are supposed to be thrilling and frightening but they seem so normal to me like I've been there for a long time." Still no reaction.

"You may think I'm maybe crazy but I know what I'm saying."

"Okay, I understand. You're the first one to come with such a story but I'll do my best to help you."

"What do you do in the dream? Any strange answers?"

"No. Maybe one. I asked if I have to go back every time I sleep and Daniel told me that I do only because I wish to go back." His face lit up. " Then don't wish to go back. " He looked at me for a short time.

" You don't want to stop. You want to go back. Wow, this is getting more interesting. So tell me why are you here?"

" I just want to know if all this is normal. Maybe I could stay there forever. I want to know if it will ever end." He got up and poured water in a glass. Not for me, for himself. He gulped it down and asked me if I needed water too but I said no. "Okay then why don't you go back to the dream and ask about all this." I shook my head.

"He'll always change the topic. He doesn't give me answers."

You'll have to be persistent,Samantha. Whatever he'll tell you, you'll have to tell me. Are we good?" I nodded. "That's the end of our session today. Come back tomorrow."

Seems like I will have to extend my stay here. I sighed. I left the house and walked around the street in thoughts.

At the therapist's after Sama left

"She's one of them, Linda."

Sam's POV

"I can't believe I haven't even sent Sama a message.' Dad was saying something but I wasn't paying attention at all.

"Dad, I have to do something really important. I have to go." I walked out on my dad I had never done this but anyway I do have important business now. I decided to send Sama a message while getting in my jet.

'Hey Sama, it's Sam. I'm coming to you.'

In the park

Sama's POV

I heard something in my purse but I didn't bother to check what it was. I sat down on a swing and thought about my life. At a point I remembered Sam and thought of texting him. I heard a tap on my shoulder and I looked behind me. It was Sam.

"Oh hey Sam, I was just thinking about you."

"Well, you should be. I sent you a text telling you that I'm coming." I remembered the sound. "Let me confirm first. " I checked my messages and I found it indeed.

"I'm so sorry. I was thinking about something soo....." I was feeling guilty.

Sam's POV

I decided to push her as she swings and she was enjoying it. She was smiling again. I love her smile. I wanted to live this moment so I asked her to take a selfie with me. Soon it was 4pm and I had a meeting at 5 so I had to go.

"It's been a great day Sama. I won't forget it but unfortunately I have to leave immediately. I'm sure we'll meet again." I wished for a kiss but I hoped for a hug at least. I got none so I just left.

Sama's POV

I feel like there is a connection between Sam and I but I don't want to let him know that I feel something. I walked home and went straight to the kitchen. I wasn't feeling hungry when Sam was with me.

I had my food and decided to take a nap on the couch.

I went to the other world obviously. This time it wasn't Daniel I found, it was an old woman but it wasn't Crusella. She looked younger but still old. " Follow me."

I don't know why I always did as I was asked but now wasn't the time to think about that. She was moving fast and steady making me doubt if she's really old. I had to hurry and catch up. She took me to an exit that went to a river. She stood and waited for me at the bank.

"Do you know how to fish my child?"

I wanted to shouted and tell her that I'm not her child but she was already walking looking for something. She didn't even wait for me to answer. She got a stone and hit a fish that was in the water. It died and she picked it.

"Give it a try, dear."

She gave me the stone but I didn't hit anything. The fish was too fast. "I expected it but don't worry. You'll hit it next time , just keep trying." I kept trying but there was no success. It was starting to get annoyed.

"Visualize it and make it happen."

I focused on it and I did it. I hit the fish. I jumped in happiness, this was such a big achievement. I looked around but she was gone. Wow, how stupid! I didn't even ask what I was supposed to ask.

"Hey Sama." I jumped

"You scared me , Daniel." How could he just appear from behind. That was sneaky. " I didn't mean to." I looked at him and remembered what I have to do. " I want to ask you something."

" Go on." I replied quickly.

"Why am I here? Why do I come when I sleep ? Will this ever stop?" I still had a lot to ask but he asked me wait. " I understand why you're asking all this but I can only tell you one thing." I raised my eyebrow folding my arms on my chest. " We're on Emilia's instructions. She's our leader and she asked us to do all this?"

" This is not the first time I'm asking this. " Who is Emilia?"

" That would be hard to explain because you're Emilia. When I saw you I thought you were Emilia but your aura was of a young woman. Emilia has the same features as you but she's much older than you can imagine."

I would definitely want proof but something told me to stop asking questions. All this information was supposed to take some good time to process in my head but it was rather normal.

"Daniel came close to me but this time I was determined to resist and I ran away. I found a garden of vegetables and decided to take a look. It was looking beautiful until all the vegetables combined into one giant structure. How frightening!

" Help! Daniel help!" It was less than a metre behind me.

I ran faster but I was getting tired so I hid behind a rock hoping that it didn't see me. I made sure to be as silent as possible. I peeped to check but I couldn't see it. " Oh Thank God!" I sat down and relaxed with my eyes closed. When I opened them it was right in front of me.

" Hey Mr. Veggie, I'm not from here. Please, let me off today." I pleaded although I knew it wasn't going to help.

Surprisingly, it walked away. Wow!

I started looking for a way to go back but I only got lost. Fortunately, I saw Crusella She was in her elderly form."Do you like this form more?"
