Dream Land

Dream Land Preface Bi To Reuben my son, I love you so much x “Kaleb get up it's you last day” His Mum always woke him up this way, she had a voice like a foghorn in the morning. His mum was a big woman, he was kind but struggled on her own. She worked all hours to give him what he needed . And it means a lot to her, that she managed to save enough for Kaleb's trip to africa this school holiday. Kaleb was nervous but really looking forward to it. It's the first time his been abroad. And away from his little town in Kingston. “Kaleb get up now” “Yes Mum” Kaleb is small for his age, He had just turned 15 and was barely 5 foot. People confused him for being younger. He had short blond hair, pale skin, he was born 3 pounds due to complications, he put it down to that. It was the last day of term which was mufti day. Everyone got to wear the clothes that they wanted. He decided on jeans and a blue t-shirt, with his Nike trainers. He ran down the stairs to breakfast 2 steps at a time, although he hated school he was excited about his trip. With his Uncle Ken. He loved his Uncle very much, Ken was very bright, good at maths,and working out how things work and are put together. Tomorrow they will be away. He will stay over Ken’s tonight. Breakfast was a vegetarian full english, because of Kaleb's love for animals they did not eat meat. He was about to run out the door when his Mum stopped him. She was after a hug before he left as they always did. He said his quick goodbyes and ran out the door to his school Beverly boys. It was a short walk but he hoped he did not meet Carl and his mates, who love to bully him for his height. “Hey Grasshopper” Carl yelled from behind Kaleb. They called him this because he was obviously short and very smart for his age. He started to run to get to school, he didn't fancy meeting Carl and his mates. The boys are in the year below him so he would be home free once he got to school. His heart was pounding as he ran. School went quickly that day. Maths, drama, English, Science. He wasn't very confident so he did not like drama, much frightened he got teased for playing the girl roles because of his size. As soon as the bell rang he was out the door. Running home, to meet his uncle Ken. For an early night. Up at four to travel to Heathrow. * They woke up with plenty of time to get to check in, They caught the 281 bus to Heathrow and were on the plane. The plane soured up in the air over the ocean Kaleb was really excited until what he thought was turbulence. But it wasn't on by one everyone on the plane started to disappear soon it was just him and his uncle. He glanced out the plane and noticed a distortion in the window he put his had and it went right though. He turned to tell his uncle but Ken was gone too. Suddenly he was sucked through the window and landed face first in a forest. * He moved his head. He heard a noise. Pssst, it was coming from a hole in the tree. He quickly checked himself that he was not hurt. Psst there was a very fearful tiny face staring out the hole looking at him. “Are you Kaleb?" the little voice said. The king had dreams about you” “ Dreams.” , “Yes we dream a lot here” To Kaleb's astonishment she flew out of the hole in the tree and landed on a branch. “ You're the boy who meant to save us from the evil in our land.” “I'm just a boy, what can I do? You are the one who's here to save us. More fairies joined her on the tree. Curious about what was going on, they were amused about the way he was dressed. And asked if his hair fell out because it was short. They kept pulling at his hair and clothes, curious about the feeling. One accidently fell down his shirt. He was trying to get her out, while being attacked by a lot of curious fairies “Stop” said a man's voice that Kaleb thought he recognised but could not place.Yaweh said the Fairy's bowing to what Kaleb thought must be the King. The man had flowing hair, a beard and great kindness in his eyes. He wore a white robe. He didn't dress like a king. “Leave Kaleb alone his just got here his probably in shock” Kaleb asked where he was. “Does it matter you're here to help , need to get to dragon at times end to get the Keys to the other world. “ Don't know what I can do” I'm Yahweh and this is your calling you can do as I ask” The fairies were quiet listening to every word excited about the boy and their new land. “Come with me”. Kaleb followed through the forest until they got to a little wooden cabin. Not that grand for a King. “I'd have thought you would have a castle”. “I like my cabin,” Yahweh said entering the cabin. There was a table with all the foods he could think of , too much for them. “ You expecting Guests” Yes my friends Matthew Mark Luke and John. They are names in the bible”. So is Yahweh", Kaleb didn't know what to say. He did not realise Yahweh was another name for Jesus. Was this Jesus? Just then there was a neighing at the window Yahweh got some carrots off the table and went to the window. A horse with a rainbow coloured main looked though awaiting her carrots. Hi Tia, how are you doing, girl. The horse neighed in response. “You can call me Jesus if you want”. Answering Kaleb question. Kaleb did not answer if he was really meeting Jesus. “ That is what you want to know isn't it.”. Kaleb did not answer, still shocked when there was a knock at the door. Yahweh opened it and started to hug four men as if he had not seen them in years.” “Hey Mathew, get your stuff ready for the long journey tomorrow”. Mathew stopped looking at Kaleb. He went to Kaleb and patted him on the back “did not think you would be here yet , but good to finally meet you. They each came in one by one and introduced themselves, they were all so nice. “You're hungry,” Yahweh said. Kaleb realised he was hungry, real hungry. Don't worry about your manners, we are all friends here. After a while Kaleb started to relax he felt really calm around Yahweh he had such peace about him. “Does everyone wear robes here? “ “ Yes, why do you want one?”. Mark said jokingly” “Well I won't get attacked by Fairy's they have seen robes before”. “I'll show you your room Kaleb, you guys better be leaving early start tomorrow and don't be late John” Later that evening Yahweh handed Kaleb a hot chocolate and they sat down by the fire”. “ Yaweh” “Yes” Did you really die on that cross” “Yes” “ I love you so much Kaleb I couldn't leave you to suffer I had to save you by sacrificing myself”” Kaleb went quiet; it just dawned on him what Jesus had done for him. He wanted to cry his heart overwhelmed with love for this man. Who died to save him. “ Let's get some sleep early start. “Ok” Kaleb did as he was told even though he wanted to stay. He just loved being around Jesus. And could not thank him enough for what he had done. He wanted to prove he could do this to Jesus. Even though he did not have to.. It was a warm night and Kaleb left his window open, which was a huge mistake. “Good morning” said the fairy he met the other day she was holding onto his nose. “ I didn't catch your name” “Isabel”. “ Let go of my nose Isabel. I'm going to . The fairy flew across the room landing on the dressing table. “Oh no are you alright I'm sorry” “I'm ok” she jumps up in her perky way whipping herself down. You better get ready Jesus has made you food. He loves to serve people you know” Well he is Jesus after all. He went to his dresser hoping there were no robes in there and clothes that fit. Jesus would know his size of course.. Jeans and t-shirts are comfortable and they are the right size. Good at least I won't be n***d. All my clothes are on the plane. Oh no mother . He ran down the stairs to ask to go home. Jesus' mum will be worried or think I'm dead. Already sorted, your mum is fine Jesus said as I ran into the room, he always knows what I'm thinking. “ Sit down eat you need your strength.”,” well I am hungry” They had a talk about Carl and school. Kaleb was glad to have Jesus to share this with. Jesus told Kaleb that he is always there for him no matter what and it will all get better in the end.”Shall we go I can hear them coming they've got the boat ready.” Boat? Yes Boat “And I thought we would be walking on water. “ “Tempting” “I'll get you a horse.” I cannot ride” Don't worry he knows where to go.” That road went through the forest for about an hour. Isabella sitting on his shoulder. I think I've made a new friend. Who is smaller than me? They came to the beach where there was a boat. They are fishermen I guess. Jesus came over to me. “How about that walk? “ “What walk?” “On water he said smiling.” “Oh no no no “ “Come on trust me.” I went to the edge of the jetty and began to sink like a stone. Jesus pulled me out of the water. “I'm always here just trust me” I held his hand tight and tried again. This time I did not sink.” It's amazing how” “Faith” We all got on the boat, some dolphins joined us and other sea creatures and eagles and other birds. Even the animals loved him. Jesus was looking out to sea as if something was on his mind. I joined him. He told me the dragon was sending his followers out to try and stop us along the way. We are meeting the centers at the dock. They will train us in what to do. Luckily all Jesus's followers received gifts which will help us. I wonder if I have any gift now. I follow him now. Shortly I got to the dock and all hell was breaking loose. A giant had got into the town and was smashing the whole place up. Jesus yelled for Isabella. He cannot use her can he. You've heard of David she said taking her sling out. And to my surprise the stone hit him right between the eyes, and he fell down dead. There were a lot of injured people and children and everyone was praying. Jesus took me to this child who had been hurt. Pray for her he said.” I can't pray” “Pray in my name and it will be done “ I placed my hand on the child's arms which had been badly broken and prayed in Jesus name. Stair away the bones started snapping back into place I started to laugh. The little girl did too. I ran to the next person and soon everyone was ok. One of the centres came over to talk to Jesus. While I was given a drink it was hot and I was very thirsty. They talked a while then Jesus came over. “He wants to have a battle with you and you alone. I'm not allowed to interfere if you are chosen after all. Who wants me? The dragon he wants is your soul Kaleb. He doesn't understand that you belong to me and no one else. Suddenly I was feeling brave and a little sick. What do I have to do? The centre started my training with a sword. He was tough but after he said I was a very good swordsman. Everyday we trained for a week. When it was time to leave he gave me a jagged sword “aim for the heart or where the heart should be” “I will” After that Jesus and I set off and it took us another week to get there. We prayed and sang. I could not think of a time without him, being by my side. We're here, Jesus said. “Where” “The dark forest leading to the cave.” It was dark, no leaves on the trees, just a touch to light our way. ” I don't know what else is in this forest but there are strange noises” “It's his friend trying to scare you demons love that but they run at the meer mention of me” Soon we got to the cave “His in there I think his asleep” Jesus said I crept in but he must have heard me as he just up and pinned me to the wall by my neck with his claw. Let me go I screamed not having a chance to get my sword without him seeing. “No” The centeurs said to make him angry so I did.” So you're the devil Jesus has told me about you not that big I could easily take you. My hand slowly moved to the sword. So how did it feel when Jesus won? My hand on the sword now. You think you're clever, you're nothing but a little ahhh as I rammed the sword through his heart. And he fell to the ground and dissolved. The demons are coming Jesus yelled though the door Then there was a loud horn as demons, centaurs and elves all battled in the forest. They stayed away from Jesus; they knew what he could do. The herd I killed the dragon didn't want to fight me either but I didn't give them a choice. We won. I screamed as they all disappeared because they knew they had lost, well done boy Jesus said patting me on the back. I must have fainted because as I woke I heard the noise of the plane I was back in my seat. I turned to see my uncle Ken staring. I didn't know you are religious.you called seem to be talking to Jesus in your sleep. It's a long story. But I won the war. The end
