Through the path and over the bridge was a foggy mystical land called Brownsvilla. Brownsvilla was a dark and dangerous land where all the ghouls and goblins lived, better known as terrifiers of the night. They only came out at night to terrorize the townspeople. The only way for them to survive were to cause mischief. When the town went to sleep they came out to play.

The terrifiers of the night would teepee houses,  flatten tires, and tear down mailboxes; they will even piss in cars gas tanks. The Terrifiers would also loot the town’s stores and eat up all the food inside until they fell asleep. After years and years of harassment from the Terrifiers of the night the townspeople had enough.

The terrifiers of night came out to be mischief’s like any of the night, but what they didn’t know was the townspeople set up traps all over town; at the end of the night they were caught. The townspeople made them clean up all the mess, fix all the mailboxes, and fixed back up the stores they looted.

What the terrifiers of night did not know was that all the townspeople were actually magical fairies and trolls. The terrifiers of the night was so shocked by this discovery they stood in amazement. The fairies, and the trolls put a spell on the terrifiers of the night for them never ever to return again.

I walked down this path, and as I was getting closer to the end of the path I felt like I was being watched. I heard a sudden sound that gave me the shivers. Seven little pink people jumped out at me and they just stared at me. I’ve never seen anything like them, I was just as amazed as they were. One of the little pink girls then ask me “What are you?” “What’s your name?” “Why are you here”. I didn’t even think they could speak. I began to say I’m human, my name is Karina and this is usually one of the fast paths I take home. I then asked “what are you?”. The pink girl then replied “I’m Momma smurfette and these are my smurfettes.  While speaking to Momma smurf she noticed a dark cloud was coming and yelled at everyone to go back into the village, even me. I asked why while walking into the village, why did she yell for us to go into the village, she replied “It means the evil witch Luz was coming”. While walking into the village I was so shocked about how colorful it was and how full of life it was. The Smurfettes village houses were not your normal houses, they were made up of different coIored mushrooms. There were so many different Smurfs who had specific jobs. I was so confused and continuously kept asking myself Is this really happening. I asked Momma smurf how did I get here, I always use this path to get home and I never seen this before. She told me she opened up a new pathway so smurfettes can travel without being hunted by the mean witch Luz. After a long day of learning about the smurfettes I became dizzy. I passed out and when I woke up I was home tucked in my bed with a note on my nightstand  that said ” Whenever you want to come visit we’re only a pathway away”. All along I thought it was a dream but I then believed the smurfettes had magical powers.

I walked across the bridge, and once I got across I saw four dragons they were all different colors one was blue the other was pink and there was also one with two heads but they were still different colors they were green and purple, they started flying above my head I got excited and started jumping around because it seemed cool. Once the dragons flew away I started changing them I didn’t want the moment to end, it was very amusing to my while the dragons flew I saw a rainbow form behind them. I stopped chasing the dragons and started making my way to the end of the rainbow to see if there was a pot of gold, I began to get excited when I started getting closer to the end of the rain because I spotted a treasure chest, once I got to the treasure chests and opened when I opposed it I was a piece of paper with a mason it I followed the map and it took me to the dragons that I saw cave I walked into the cave slowly because I was scared but, once I got inside I saw a lot of different cool animals like jaguar, lions ,and Tigars I was scared to play around with them until I realized they were friendly, I was able to fly on one of the dragons back and it was one amazing experience if I was to have another chance at that I would follow the dragons all the way so I can have a little more time with them.

I walked down this path, and i wasn’t sure were it was leading me too. There was a bunch of tress. The trees were so thick that barley any sunlight qas passing threw. It was mostly dark and i felt as if i was being followed. I was finally getting to end; and i was able to tell because i saw light comimg from straight ahead. As i approached the exit i saw that the floor was covered with grass and the huge trees were still everywhere. I then noticed a creature running, and thats when i found out where i was. Somehow walking threw the path i travled back in time;and not just a couple of years. I have travled back 67 million years to the late cretaceous period. I was able to tell this because the creature I just saw was the king of all beast; the Tyranasorus Rex. The T-rex has just killed another dinosaur and was devouring the corpse. I was unsure on whether to move or just stay put and try to hide. I finally decided to leave the area and look around, but i had to be as quiet as possible. As I left the T-rex behind i started seeing more dinosaurs. Some looked deadliy and other looked friendly. Regardless of how they looked i stayed away; just to be safe. The sun started going down, so i decided to find my way back to the path that lead me there. I wasn’t sure what kinds of creatures roumed at night and i wasn’t trying to stay and find out. It took about an hour before i found the path once again. I walked threw it once again, i was relieved to finally be away from that place. I wasn’t sure if i should tell anyone or keep it to my self. I finally decided; I was going to keep it to my self and never speak of it again.

I walked down this path, and It was like walking down memory lane. I looked to my right and I saw the times I allowed for myself to be treated less then what I was. I saw the times I justified to be treated less then what I was worth by others. I saw the times I was taken for granted by others, I saw the times I gave my all and was returned with broken promises and emptiness. I saw the times I had the facts in front of me and, I refused to listen, I saw the times I was doubted, second guessed and was expected to fail. I saw the times I put others needs before mine, I saw the times I questioned my ability to get through tough situations. At the end of the path, I came across another path. As I looked up, I saw a fresh start filled with nothing but positivity and, I thought to myself ” I’m leaving behind the girl that doesn’t know her worth back there and, I’m starting a new path.” As I started a new path, I realized my worth. I realized that I should always put myself first. I realized that I choose my own path, therefore I shouldn’t let others try to push me off my own path. From here on out, I will not let others step over me. I will be strong and bold and not let be told otherwise . I will not look back and dwell on the past but focus on this new path .

I walked down this path, and it’s a tunnel covered in sunlight and green leaves; only a railroad is left to be seen almost covered in leaves. As I walk further down from a distance I see a white deer, it raises its head to see me,and bounces straight towards me. I’m scared but the deer brings an alluring feeling; composed enough I let the curious deer come near me. I stuck my finger out, giving it the permission to smell me, as it reaches to smell my finger with it’s pointy nose I see a white flash. The flash turned everything around me into white for 4 seconds, as the white faded I was left at the same spot but the tunnel of leaves now had Rock-trumpet flower’s, and my clothing was changed as well. I wore a long dress white at the end and shades of blue at the top with a flower crown placed on my head. I looked around to find the deer, but it was no where to be found. While I kept walking, almost getting to the end of the tunnel, flower petals and little birds came flying and chirping. I closed my eyes and I was already out of the tunnel; I look behind me and the deer was there in the tunnel staring at me, it bows it’s head and walks away. From a distance I see trees and a waterfall, as I walk towards the waterfall; little animals like squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, and little birds come out from there hiding spot and follow me to the waterfall. somehow I felt that the waterfall was home, as I slowly went into the water I was capable of breathing underwater, I saw fishes swim around me and lead me to a curly leaf pondweed bed. Two seahorse’s stood beside me while I lay down to sleep.
