To The River

Emma’s POV

The sound of birds chirping was in the air.. Sounds of moving waters too.. It felt peaceful and serene. I did not know where I was, but I felt safe. I slowly opened my eyes and was met with clear skies and the fragrance of jasmine. I looked around.. I was lying on the sandy beach of a beautiful river, as green as my eyes. Sounds of birds chirping above me, waves on the shore. How did I get here???? I thought to myself confused, sitting up slowly…

“I see you have woken”, a soft voice said.. I turned around in the direction of the voice, but my vision was blurry. Slowly it cleared up and I saw a woman, dressed in a flowing white dress, coming out of the water.. She looked ethereal, beautiful and almost like a vision of sorts. Her long dark hair was cascading in soft curls around her, but her face was not coming into focus. I sat there mesmerized, unable to move, my eyes glued onto her. She started slowly walking towards me, the green waters of the river glistening around her.
