Looking back, Gina came to understand that it wasn’t her fault. Well, not completely. She hadn’t originally wanted to take the dream pills - that had been Lucy’s idea.
There had been a brief discussion about whether they really should take them but it was so boring in Seazone that the two friends decided that anything to break the monotony of living in the city-under-the-sea was worthwhile, so Lucy got hold of them and that was that.
The dreams had started on Monday. They were pleasant and reassuring; the sort of dreams you wished would never end.
Tuesday’s dreams were more disturbing. They were the sort of dreams where you were half awake and half asleep, wishing that you could wake up and stop them.
Wednesday’s dreams were terrifying, because they weren’t just dreams – they were real and they had to be dealt with. And that was what Gina had to do – deal with them, no matter what the consequences were. Little did she know how devastating that would be for her, Gina and the people who lived in Seazone.
he bad dream was about the two biggest eels in the world, the guards of Seazone & the pills, were going to turn on Seazone & kill the mayor, who was Gina's dad.
Lucy knew that the worst dream would actually happen because her dad invented and locked up the pills. She still didn't tell Gina that for her own sake. Gina told Lucy about her terrifying dream, but Lucy was still not budging. Very soon, Seazone would be in deep trouble.
Gina felt like giant eels was somthing she had heard about from somewhere. Lucy knew how big the eels were, because she passed them where getting the pills. The two eels were 10 feet wide, and 40 feet long.
Gina was about to tell her dad about the dream when Lucy stopped her. "Don't! Don't tell him."
Gina was very confused. "Why not? It's just a dream?" Gina responded. "Well, I kind of didn't tell you the worst dream would come true."
Lucy said nervously "Ha, true, like that's-WHAT WAS THAT NOISE?!", Gina screamed. "T-they are already here? they usually take days!!", Lucy looked outside and...

realised that her worst dreams really were coming true.
Not only has the giant eels erupted into the town but they had bought with them what looked like an army of equalling scary looking smaller eels.
"Halt" they heard one of the giant eels call. Everything suddenly stopped outside as if the pause button had been pressed. Everyone that had already been outside when the eels had begun to come were now standing stock still waiting, holding their breathe to see what was going to happen.
Only once before had the guards of Seazone dared enter the town and that was 200 years ago when they captured the then mayor and took him away. Nobody ever saw that mayor again.
Just as Gina and Lucy decided they couldn't hold their breaths any longer the giant eel spoke again. His voice boomed acorss the square. "Bring me the mayor's daughter, NOW!"

The eel’s piercing, beady eyes glared scanning the crowd, suddenly, fixing on Gina. The stare bore into Gina like a red hot poker. She shifted under the gaze, her emerald green eyes avoiding the dark, unnatural yellow glow of the scaly monster.
Lucy felt like Gina’s life was hanging off her shoulders, and slipping perilously. Soon someone would speak up and it would all be over, nothing left but her guilt. She couldn’t shake off the fact that this was her fault. After all Gina was her friend…her only friend.
“What you looking at her for?” Lucy broke the tension as calmly as possible. She tried to control her voice but the nervous wobble gave her away. The eel’s eyes swivelled round to glower at her.
“What do you mean?” The eel asked its voice with a hint of menace hidden behind. “I-I mean I am the Mayor’s daughter.” The crowd gasped and stared at her silently. She could practically feel their eyes on her neck.
Her brow began to sweat as she saw the eel double take at this reaction. “Oh, really? Tell me your mother’s name” he challenged, flicking his tail gleefully.
Lucy struggled to keep a brave face as her mind whirled round trying franticly to remember. She had never actually met Gina’s mother; she had been dead ever since Gina was born. “Ellen.” As the words came out her mouth, the slimy tail flicked up and in one smooth, slick movement grabbed her by the neck.

FINAL DAY:
Thursday: I woke up panting in horror. I was so frightened I needed someone to talk to, but everyone was gone. Slowly I stood up shaking. Sweat dripped from my forehead.I phoned Lucy; my hands were slippery I almost dropped my phone. Shivering and hot, my hands were I lifted it to my ear. No one spoke until, “hello? Lucy speaking, Gina are you there?”
“It’s me! I need you, I have no one, come to the park now!” I whispered
“What’s wrong? I’m on my way”
I wrapped my hoodie around me and sneaked out my father’s palace. Finally I got there.
I felt a tap on my shoulder.
“Lucy?” I thought.
Quickly I turned around and saw someone. SHE WAS ALIVE!?
“Lucy? Is it really you?” I said in confusion.
I think to myself could this be a dream? or could this be real?
These dream pills are taking over my life.
To be continued…
