“
Safe? What do they mean safe?” Anastasia says in confusion and sarcasm.
“
Well, they said something about you being safe if you didn’t have to fulfill your so-called ‘mission’, which
I don’t get.” Clifford says. Anastasia pauses and finally decides to tell her brother all about her dream especially
the recent one.
Both of them go back and forth thinking.
Then suddenly Anastasia says, “We should go to China!”
“
But Anastasia, how? Just to let you know, flying pigs do not exist. It’s a big risk if we run away. Plus, all
this may not mean anything”
“
Yeah, I know it’s a big risk. But how will we ever know what this is all about if we don’t find out for
ourselves? Wasn’t it a sign when I experienced the same dreams over and over again especially the recent one I
just had? That voice. That message. It must mean something.” After quite some time of thinking and persuasion,
Clifford finally agrees that they should sneak out and find out what there really is in China.
That night, they both quickly packed their bags and got their passports and some money. They successfully
sneaked out and they were finally in the plane.
“
Hey Clifford, thank you”
“
Hmm? Why?”
“
Because you agreed to come with me”
“
Ana, you’re my little sister and we might really have an obligation or mission. And if it was destined for us,
then it is the right thing to fulfill it. Anyways, we had both better get some rest to fully charge our batteries.”
Meanwhile while Anastasia was sleeping, she was dreaming again. This time without even watching the
video! “Am I here again? What am I doing here? Please help me understand what my brother and I have to do,”
she says in her dream. She walks around a little and suddenly she hears that voice again. “I will guide you. Just
be careful and follow your instincts. Don’t worry.”
Anastasia wakes up and surprisingly, Clifford was already awake and was planning how they would get to
the Great Wall.
“
Oh hey Ana! The plane’s going to land in about ..” says Clifford.
“
Please fasten your seat belts. The plane is going to land soon.”
“
Well, I guess there’s your answer.”
After getting out of the plane and taking a 2-hour bus ride to the Great Wall. They have finally arrived at the
Great Wall.
“
Whoa is this huge or what? I didn’t know it was long. I thought it was just an ordinary wall really,” says
Clifford in astonishment.
“
That’s what I was talking about over dinner! Hmm, guess someone wasn’t paying attention.” “Whoops
sorry Ana, forgive me.”
“
Well no time for that now. We have to try looking for .. Umm yeah exactly. We don’t know what we’re
looking for.” Both of them start walking towards the Great Wall.
“
Why do I feel like we’re being followed?” asks Clifford. They both stopped and noticed that there was a
little dog that was following them. They decided to take care of it and it might be a good idea that it keeps them
company. It was getting dark so they decided to choose a spot on the long wall to rest.
While Clifford was sleeping, Ana was writing her diary. But she couldn’t really focus because the little dog
that they have named Snowflake, as it was as white as snow, kept barking.
“
Urgh, please stop barking. What do you want?” Snowflake quickly barked at her diary and pen. “What?
You want this?”
“
Woof!”
“
But you cant, it’s my diary. It’s very special to me. But I can only let you see, is that okay?” “Woof!”
She gently showed Snowflake her diary when out of nowhere, Snowflake grabbed her pen and started
writing. “No time left. We must keep moving on. We are almost there. Woof!” Anastasia immediately wakes
Clifford up and shows him. It was around 2 in the morning and all three of them started their journey and
followed Snowflake, the leader.
“
Hey Ana, do you really think it’s a good idea to follow this dog? I mean he is a dog and we’re not even
sure if it really knows where it’s going right?” says Clifford.
“
Oh, come on Clifford! You saw what it wrote on my diary right? Dogs do not know how to write and this
one here does. There is something special about this dog and my instincts say we should follow it”
“
WOOF!” barks Snowflake.
“
Hey I think it found a little gate! I think it’s leading us to go INSIDE the Great Wall,” says Ana in surprise.
