| This is one of my own works. Please tell me what you think so far. |
| I stared at the books in front of me and yawned. This school report on Valkyries, I knew, would be the death of me. I left the books as they were on my desk and went to change into my night cloths. I glanced over at the clock by my bed as I began to change. Two A.M? Holy crap, I had lost track of time and I had to be up at five to get to school. I sighed and finished buttoning up my flowered nightshirt. Then, after brushing my teeth, I snuggled under the covers. Sleep came easily. It was invaded, however, like many nights before, by a strange reoccurring dream I've had ever since I learned of the valkyries a few years before. It starts off quiet enough. I'm alone, floating in a vast white emptiness. Slowly I become aware that I'm dressed strangely. The dress I have on is white and flows to my ankles. It's held up by two tiny gold straps. I'm barefoot as well. Gradually, I become aware that my back feels strange. When I look behind me, I discover white angelic wings that I seem to know how to use. Baffled , I look around. The whiteness covers the scene like a blanket. Then the voices start up. Three or four voices call to me ,beautiful and melodious,"Ria,!"

Finally I got up and got ready for school. I was very quiet so as not to disturb my mom and dad.

| have to put up with high school anymore. I tossed my bag behind me to the back seat and took off . My first class was advanced algebra. I ran up the stairs to the math wing and ran through the door as the bell rang. I grinned and took my seat next to Kira, one of my best friends. She grinned at me. "Late again Ria., " she taunted. I shook my head. "No, I was here when the bell rang." I smiled at Kira as I heard the door shut. I looked up to see Mrs. Hill walking to the huge black board at the front of the room. She began to drone on about X and Y. I began to think about the dream. As I stared at the blank paper in front of me. " Have the dream again? " Kira looked at me a little concerned. I nodded to her and sighed. |
