[b][h2][color=00aeef]Alison~[/color][/h2][/b] She desperately yanked at the vine, the thorns more than a bit uncomfortable at this point in time as scratches were clear as day against the pale of her skin.Alison had to admit to herself that this was the most realistic dream she had ever had and now she was ready to wake up. Her mind made up, Alison let go of the thorny attacker and pinched her upper arm which only caused her to yelp loudly inside of doing the desired effect. 

Why hadn't her parents found her yet? Had they not been able to wake her? A coma didn't sound as amazingly exciting as she would have first thought when the dream started. It was only when she heard a light tinkling laugh of another person, that Ali soon realized that the vine had loosened its hold ever so slightly. She had been prepared to take the chance at freedom but found it to not be necessary as a pair of hands gently took her own, the plant going limp as the new person pulled her away. Alison had heard that talking to your garden could help it grow but scolding them as if they could understand was a little beyond her. She wasn't going to complain though as her rescuer could have been a dancing monkey for all she cared since she was grateful for any help. It made her very aware though that the dagger in her bag might have been nice if she had remembered it and hadn't panicked. Why oh why couldn't she have just had a weapon just appear out of thin air when needed? This was her dream wasn't it? Where was the control? 

The blonde was so lost in thought that she almost missed when the woman next to her spoke up again but this time directed at her with a soft mothering tone. [color=00aeef]"I'm fine, really, it is just a couple of scratches and they will disappear when I wake..."[/color] Alison paused in her reply, her brain catching up with what the woman actually said. [color=00aeef]"Another dimension? Wait, this isn't a dream....[/color] she muttered more to herself than to the other woman as she tried to process the thought of not being on Earth as well as having no clue where she was. Alison felt like she couldn't breath and that she needed a good cup of tea right about now. [i]If I am no longer on Earth than where am I? Why are the plants so hostile toward scouts? Who did the scouts work for that had the plants so scared that they would attack? Wait...did I just ask myself about a plants 'feelings'? This is complete madness[/i] She shook her head softly, completely oblivious that she had been sat down in the soft grass and being allowed to get her thoughts and questions in order. 

She was startled out of her thoughts when a hand was offered to her and she couldn't help the warm smile that tugged at her lips. Alison reached her hand out, placing it in the other and giving a light nod as she slowly stood, trying to not put all her weight on the one helping her up. [color=00aeef]"Thank you, for saving me. If I am to be complete honest, that sounds wonderful. I already have a lot of questions seeing how I now know this is not a dream...."[/color]Alison replied calmly but hesitated at the end of her sentence for a moment to glance over her shoulder at the plants before her gaze slowly met with a scratched up red arm that looked none too pretty, keeping her brown eyes locked there and as she continued to speak,[color=00aeef]"or a nightmare."[/color] Ali had so many questions ringing in her head at this point. She didn't know where to begin. She was just letting the garden owner or who she assumed was the owner lead her since there wasn't much better options that she could see. She didn't even know if she could trust this stranger but at least they gave off a good vibe and she has always trusted her gut with that kind of thing. It suddenly occurred to Alison that she was being rather rude to her savior though since she realized that she hadn't even given her name and yet this woman was going to welcome her into her home. It didn't feel right to accept such hospitality and kindness without so much as an introduction.[color=00aeef]"It seems that I have forgotten my manners with all this confusion. My name is Alison and it is a pleasure to meet you."[/color] she stated during their little stroll.
