When I opened my eyes, I saw 4 people, 2 men and 2 women, everyone was looking at this weird place, they saw each other and looked confused. I also felt confused, I didn’t remember anything or where I was. This place looked like a garden, filled with bushes and flowers but the atmosphere was not as pretty as the garden looks. It felt cold, damp and the sky was dark, but the cottage in the middle of the garden looked bright. The cottage had no walls, only pillars made from white old rusty stone and there was also an old rusty bench made from stone as well. In the middle of the cottage there was a big bowl also made of white stone, it was empty and very dirty.

    Afterwards, a women showed up, I didn’t remember how she looked like, but I remembered she didn’t look scary. Suddenly, that woman chased after me and the four other people. We ran as fast as we could, tried to find a way out from the garden. I didn’t know if it was a door or some portal, but the scenery changed into a small alley and it was crowded with people. There were a lot of shops and restaurants filled with people. The alley’s street was made from asphalt, and it was muddy, the night sky had no stars. Because we were scared and panicked, we entered a restaurant. The 4 other people separated themselves from me and made their own group. There, I saw a guy, he was fat and bald. He had white and fair skin, his face looked friendly, and he wore sky-blue shirt. He looked familiar to me, I said to him “Please help me. I was chased by a woman. She wants to take my soul.” I didn’t know why I knew this, it just appeared in my mind that that woman wanted to take my soul and those 4 other people’s souls too. “Your soul has been marked. But I can help you, I can re-mark your soul so it will appear as if I am your master so that woman won’t chase you anymore. And your soul will appear as my wife.” said the fat man. I agreed with him immediately.

    Somehow, I woke up in a different place. It wasn’t the garden or the restaurant before. The place looked white, there were trees and a middle-aged man. That man asked me to erase his memory. How? I didn’t know, but I did it anyway. After I erased his memory, the peaceful feeling in my heart disappeared. “Because you erase his memory, the mark on your soul will also disappear. She will come again.” That sentence appeared in my mind just like that. I, who was standing in the middle of nowhere, was approached by a young man who was driving a car. I didn’t recognize his face; he has white and fair skin but he’s not fat like the man I met at the restaurant. He opened the back door of the car and told me to get in. He covered me with a blanket and said “Stay still, don’t move, or make a sound. I will hide you from her.” I obeyed. Not long after, a beautiful young woman, fair skin with medium-long black hair came into the car. She was with 2 young girls. I moved a little under the blanket because it was uncomfortable, and the young woman realized something and said, “What was that?”, the young man answered “Nothing. Just drive.” The car suddenly stopped. The young woman realized there was another person in the car. I came out from

under the blanket and pushed her outside the car, I immediately moved to the front seat and closed the door. The two girls followed her outside. I screamed at her and said “Please stop! Don’t come after me anymore. In all other universes we are enemies, but please not in this one!” The young woman agreed and nod. I and the young man drove away.

    I arrived in the garden when I first woke up. But the young man wasn’t there. I entered the garden and walked to the abandoned cottage. In the middle of the cottage there was a big white bowl made of stone but this time there was a baby inside of it. The first woman who chased me appeared again. “The baby’s soul is destined to enter our sect.” I was scared and couldn’t do anything, but then a bright writing appeared in the baby’s stomach “I have changed the baby’s destiny, this baby has been saved.” The woman was furious and angry. She screamed, the garden rumbled, and the cottage’s pillars collapsed.

    Me and my mom were sitting in the living room, watching TV, and enjoying our day off. Then we got a call from my mom’s brother, he said that my grandfather was admitted to the hospital. We decided to visit him. My uncle came to pick us up with his car, he said “It can take few hours to arrive there. Do you guys want to ride with me or use the shortcut?” “What shortcut?” I answered. “Follow the path behind that wooden house and your dogs will guide both

of you.” So, my mom and I decided to use the shortcut. “But remember, be super careful there. Follow your dogs only.” Then he left.

    We followed our two dogs, a brown colored dog and black-white colored dog. Turned out, the path behind the wooden house was a forest. The road was small and had a lot of high grass and trees. We walked and walked. At the end of the road, there was a wooden bridge. The brown dog went first, it looked back at us like it was trying to

re-assure us that we would be okay. The black-white dog walked behind us. Under the bridge, there was a river. On the right and left of the bridge, there were a lot spirits. They reached their hands to us, but it could never reach us. My mom seemed calm, but I was very tense because the bridge was very narrow. If we fell, we could’ve died. Maybe became one of the spirits at the bridge?

    Thankfully, we passed the bridge safely. At the end of the road, we saw a big white hospital; it looked like a normal hospital. At the hospital, I saw a red bus, it looked like the red bus in London. The bus was filled with the spirits of dead people. When we about to enter the hospital, there was a woman. She said "I could not enter the hospital. I am married, I have to go home." And she left and went inside the red bus that was filled with spirits of dead people, but I was very sure she was still alive. She did not look pale or see-through like the other spirits.

    Our two dogs waited outside the hospital, like they’re protecting us from the spirits there. The male nurse at the receptionist said we couldn't visit my grandfather for too long. There was a time limit. If we stayed here too long, our souls would be trapped forever. Our dogs could be eaten by the spirits too. So, we saw him for a bit and gave him food. We came back to the receptionist, the male nurse said "I am not alive anymore. I should have moved on to another world, but I will stay here to guard your grandfather. Now all of you should go home and leave. And remember one thing, you can never ever look back. Just look straight, follow your guardians and you will be okay.” And then we left, using the same path as before, guarded by our 2 dogs. We came home safely.
