I found myself standing in a large open field. the sound of the wind blowing against my soft skin. The scent of lillys high in the air and as I look to the ground in front of me. Lillis litter the ground everywhere. white, yellow and peach. Though somehow I can smell the saltiness of an ocean near by. You can hear the loud crash of the waves against the sand. The sun is shining and the heat from it beats down on me. You feel the heat making it hard to breath slightly and the sweat runs down your back and staining your clothes.

Looking to my right I can see a dark forest. It seems to be intimidating but yet I still walk toward it anyway. It's like I'm headed off on an adventure or to see an old friend, I'm not quite sure but I know something exciting is going to happen. Quickly I walk towards it and duck into the darkness. I can already feel the temperature change. Its cooler and it makes me shiver as the wind blows against the sweat on my body.

While walking down the forest path, the sand squishes under my feet and it feels like a sea cucumber pushing itself up in between my toes. It even makes an odd sound as it slips around my feet. Slowly I approached a fork in the road. One path is light and calming, looks warm and seems very inviting, the other is darker and i can see wolves howling in the distance. I'm scared of this path yet I still walk down this path. It's like something is drawing me down this path.

My heart pounds as I walk through the thick forest and found myself standing in front of my own house and I wonder how it got here. My home is in a forest but I -know- it's not this specific forest. I step up the front step and knock on the door for reasons I can't understand. I can hear a soft thud of feet walking toward me, toward the door. I feel intimidated but as the door creeks open its like I'm staring into my past. My boyfriend who had passed away eight years ago stares me straight in the eyes. His eyes his familiar green eyes seem to be so inviting and so sweet. I run up to him and hug him tightly.

I can feel his grip on me is so strong but full of life. I can feel the love that I used to feel eight long years ago. He walks out of the house and shuts the door and we then start walking back down the path. The wolves no longer scare me, I feel safe and like everything is going to be fine. We walk down the other half of the fork and we hold hands tightly. Walking hand in hand the air becomes warmer once again and the mud dries on my feet. The smell of the damp forest floor no longer heavy in the air.

We come out to a large meadow once again. The sun seems to be setting and the sun makes the ground a golden colour. The smell of the fresh air tickles my nostrils. We can see the base of the mountain and a spiral like path going along it. We decide to walk up it. the rocks and pebbles n** at my feet and sting my silky skin. I cling to Vaughn as he smiles and finally when we reach the top. Its hard to breath and the clouds are thick around us. We look around the world below us and everything seems so perfect.

I look to him and stare deeply into his eyes and brush his brownish black hair away from his face and lean in close and kissing him. I could smell the soft scent of a body spray. My eyes slipped closed as I can feel his plush lips against my own. Finally then I pull back and ask the question I've wanted to know for the longest time. "are you alone..?"

He looks into my eyes and smiles before shaking his head before leaning in and whispering in my ear. His soft masculine voice is so inviting and so calming. I can feel my body relax into his and finally his answer sets in my mind. "Not anymore"

I can feel a sense of calming from that answer yet before I can even realize it, I'm falling down the mountain and my heart is racing. I know my end is near and I can see Vaughn falling with me. have we fallen off or did he push me? I can see the wolves standing on the mountain watching us fall. My heart pounds and my scream reigns through air.

That's when I woke up. Neither of us made it home and yet I'm still calm. Everything was meant to be. And that was my mountain journey
