I dreamt that I was a faerie. The land sloped down fairly steeply. I found this mysterious cavern/cliff thing - the cliff was on the left side of my vision. There was a very narrow pathway (probably about 8 inches wide) that led around it about 20 feet under the cliff edge. It curved slightly to the right. I was unable to fly in this area - the smoke was thick and horrendous. I remember it was so dark in this area that it seemed like it was a cave - the smoke didn't rise above the cliff, nor did it engulf the pathway. The pathway was clear of it, and below the bottom of the cliff was a boiling lake full of molten rock. I walked across the pathway and emerged out the other side, the path stretched out into flatland and slowly became a  small meadow. I flew up slightly and saw another cliff edge - but beyond that was all ocean. I flew up and over the cliff, careful not to get too close to the smoke that loomed in it. I flew to my town where I told all my friends about it. They wanted to see it too so I showed them. 

I woke up here then fell back asleep thinking about this dream.

A few months pass and my friend comes and tells me he made this awesome island we could live on. I said sure, so we got our friends together and flew there. Wow, it was a big island. It had a huge tower/building in the middle. There were hundreds of fae flying to it. We flew through a door and went through several "layers" to get to where the rooms were. The layers were glass. Ours was at the bottom of the tower in a corner. We had so much difficulty getting to ours though, because apparently we had the best room in the tower. So many fae tried to follow us. We finally to to our room when I saw a line of them flying by, trying to get in before we locked them out (in the dream, I recognized them as people I go to school with in real). I started kicking them away from the door as the 'leader' tried to tie the door shut. I told him to let me try, that I could get it. We switched places and I tied the door shut, then locked it. We all cheered and highfived each other. The room was huge! There were bunk beds for us, a nice high ceiling to fly around in and a small kitchen walled off on the right side. I flew down to the kitchen and turned behind me. There was the bathroom. Sweet. We all began to settle in it.
Two years pass. The 'leader' had become increasingly controlling over time and it was starting to get out of hand. He was being rude to me and this other girl in the room in particular. It was night time, everyone was sleeping except her and I. She started telling me about how she's noticed things getting out of hand around here. We had a small discussion about it and she went to sleep. But I couldn't sleep. I flew up to the window near the ceiling. Quietly and carefully, I pulled the window down and slipped through it. I flew up the hallway to the top of the tower and opened the door that led to the roof. I flew up onto the roof and looked around. Shock covered my face as I realized that the island was placed above the smokey cliff and the water. I flew down the edge of the tower and noticed a small door. in the ground. A storm cellar? I opened it and a spiral staircase led down into darkness. I crept inside and stopped at the bottom, freezing in place. The staircase led to the pathway on the cliff. Why? The only thing I could think of was to keep them in his grip. The smoke had gotten worse over time, engulfing the path and anyone who dared pass through it. It was the perfect place to dispose of those who didn't cooperate. I turned and ran up the stairs and slammed the cellar door closed. I flew up the side of the tower and through the door, closing it behind me. I flew down the inside and closed the layer door and quickly made my way through the window, closing it. I flew down to my bed and slept the rest of the night away.
I woke up to a lot of commotion on the island. The leader promptly told me to follow the evacuation route to the outside of the tower. I stared at him in disbelief as he flew off. I saw the girl I talked to last night packing her things. I asked her what she was doing and she told me she was leaving. She told me security saw someone flying aroudn the island last night, and they were going to set things straight. She was going back to the mainland. Land. I haven't set foot on real land ever since I got to the island. She ran off to escape. I made my decision to leave too, I quickly caught up with her. We bolted through the two layers, knowing not to fly. I told her that I was me who they saw. I told her everything I found out. She simply nodded and said "I figured. I noticed a lot of the fae have disappeard". There was a high fence surrounding the island, security guards stood at the gates. We split up in different directions. I tried to fly but realized how heavy the air was. The guards were about as twice as tall as the normal fae. They were also humans.
I ran behind one as he tried to grab me. I climbed up the fence, just out of reach of him. I kept climbing, others were watching. They began to disband from the line as they realized what was going on. I was growing tired fast, I reached the top of the fence, I jumped and pumped my wings as hard as I could, flying high into the sky where the air wasn't so heavy. I turned and saw the girl flying off from another side, coming towards me. We caught glimpse of others following what we did, the leader glaring at us from the top of the tower. We flew back to the steep slope of the land and sat down in the grass, watching figures from the island dispatching and going their separate ways. I heard a voice echo from the island. It sounded like a computer. "It's such a shame I didn't get to say goodbye. Oh well." We watched as the tower exploded at the base, the island began falling apart before my eyes. The girl and I exchanged glances as it broke apart. "Seems like someone planted something in the tower". I said. She simply agreed.
