A World of Dreams ~ Chapter 1

William and his younger sister Sophie were your average sixteen and fourteen year old. Sophie was adventurous, cunning and wouldn't take no for an answer. But as for William he was intelligent, brave and could be very bossy. William and Sophie were brought up in a small town just outside of London, William could see the city of London from his bedroom window. They both lived with their uncle, who most people would agree was very odd. Uncle Benjamin as he was known, dreamed of one day flying up into the great unknown of space...

William sat in a large red velvet arm-chair, reading a book. His blue eyes looked intently at the page, he looked almost like he was trying to control the book with his mind. But William's reading was soon interrupted by the sound of his sister's shoes tapping on the ground coming closer. “What do you want Sophie?” he called with his London accent thick with frustration, “I'm bored...” Sophie  said pushing a strand of her long red hair behind her ear. “Good for you, now leave me alone...” William said running his hand through his brown hair, “But William!” Sophie whined stomping her foot with anger. “Stomping your foot isn't going to get you anywhere” William murmured, “William can we play a game or something?!” Sophie whined walking over to the red arm-chair where her brother sat “Leave me alone... Go away... Get Lost... Shall I continue?” William said looking up at Sophie.“You're so mean!” Sophie yelled running out of the room in tears, “Man, she's fourteen and still acts like a four year old..” William muttered under his breath.

Meanwhile Sophie walked around the house with a bored frown covering most of her face, “Hey, you want something to do?” she heard Uncle Benjamin asked poking his head out from his room. “I'm not helping you making a space-ship if that's what you mean...” Sophie said turning to Uncle Benjamin crossing her arms, Uncle Benjamin chuckled “Sophie, it's something better.. Come with me...” Uncle Benjamin said walking out of his room. His skinny, wrinkled build moved slowly towards a door. When they finally arrived at the door Sophie looked at Uncle Benjamin “But Uncle... you said never to go in there...” Sophie said pointing to the door. “That's only because of the dangerous and exciting adventures that awaits anyone who enters...” Uncle Benjamin said taking a key out of his pocket and unlocking the door.

“Come on Sophie don't be shy, open it... I can't enter...” Uncle Benjamin said, Sophie gulped before gently pushing the old wooden door open. Sophie felt a gentle warm breeze hit her skin, “Good luck...” Uncle Benjamin said with a smile before leaving. Sophie gulped before taking her first steps into the mysterious room...
