I woke up. I opened my eyes. Everything was still dark, but I could feel my eyes focusing on something. Luscious green vines with broad leaves were glowing in the dark. They were growing and twisting around themselves, and making their way closer to me. My legs felt weak, and I collapsed into the soft wide leaves. They picked me up and carried me. I closed my eyes, but the vines were still there. I did not know if I was awake or dreaming.

I did not know what was going on, but I realised I had been feeling so much anxiety due to my history on the run, and I wished I could just be free to be who I really was. A magician who reads minds. A magician who does this with truth and an open heart. I could no longer deny myself as a magician and if I were to ever return to my regular reality, then I made myself a promise. I, Arcadia Guzmata, vow to quit university and practise magic. My way. With truth and heart. I promised myself I would be open about everything, including my past with Mr Bishop. I would to tell Josh everything. I would tell him I was in love with him.
