Whitney's Call

Tray looked out as only a reflection in a window, hoping against all odds that Whitney would hear him. But against all odds he had found her here in this world, alive. After that day Tray thought Whitney to be dead. But there she was. Tray could feel the magic fading; he had to hurry.

"Whitney, you need to come with me. The fate of Ganle depends on it!" Tray extended his hand, hoping that she had seen him. Hoping that she had heard him.

While walking through the JFSB Whitney sees a reflection in a window that is not her own. It is of a man offering his hand, as if he wants her to take it. No one else is around.

Whitney heard a whisper. Her name as if carried on the wind. She glanced around the empty hall of the JFSB. The upper floors of the JFSB were usually pretty quiet but now there wasn't another person in sight.

"Whitney, you need to come with me. The fate of Gnale depends on it!"

She spun around again. She knew she had heard someone. She faced one of the windows that looks down on the JFSB courtyard. She jumped when she saw the reflection of the young man in the glass and whirled around to face him. There was no one behind her.

She looked again at the window. She could see herself and the young man with his hand extended. What was it reflecting off of? she wondered.

Slowly, she stretched forth her hand until her fingers brushed the glass where the young man's hand was.

As their fingertips touched a bridge between Whitney's world and Gnale formed. Tray reached out from Gnale, past the reflection, and into her world. He grabbed Whitney by the hand pulled her through . For a moment Tray couldn't find the words to speak. He wanted to cry out in joy. The woman he had thought long dead was standing before him, her hand in his. But something stopped him. The way she looked at him was as if she didn't know him at all. On top of that, now was not the time for a reunion.

"Don't let go. We are between world's now and if you do, there is no telling where in Gnale you'll end up."

They were standing on a cliff. Behind Whitney was the window to her world, flickering every so often like a candle. Behind Tray was blackness. In Gnale many believe that this is where dreams are born.

"Hold on tight!"

Tray didn't give Whitney a chance to respond. He tightened his grip on her hand and leaped of the edge of the cliff. She was probably terrified about being pulled over the edge of the cliff but Tray didn't have time to explain. They fell through the blackness, though it was more of a sensation of sinking. Up ahead Tray could see one of the windows to Gnale. Out of nowhere a force like a hurricane hit Tray head on. He tried to hold on but the force snatched Whitney from his grasp.

"I'll find you! I promise!" Tray yelled out before he violently fell back into Gnale.

Whitney falls through the darkness in an invisible storm. She sees a light ahead that grows as she hurtles towards it. When she meets the light it is like crashing through a glass window. When Whitney comes around again she finds herself in a place very different from the JFSB courtyard. She is overlooking a town surrounded by hills, mountains, and forests all shrouded in mist. In the middle of the town on the hill is a castle.

Whit blinked against the sudden light. She couldn't help but think of the Wizard of Oz and said under her breath, "I have a feeling I'm not in Utah anymore..."

She slowly stood and brushed herself off. She stood on a hill that overlooked a town and a large castle. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath willing herself to wake up. However, most of the time you don't realize you're dreaming in dreams she thought. This just couldn't be real.

The man had said that he would find her. Who was he? She wasn't sure she wanted to be found or how long it would take for him to find her. It seemed to have been getting darker as she stood on the hill. The sun was setting. She knew one thing for sure, she didn't want to be stuck out here, alone in the dark. Feeling she had no other option, she walked down the hill and in to the town.
