Wandering

I was in a place i didn't recognize with lots of people, I only knew a few. My family was with me and we were walking around as though we were at a fair. They acted like they were looking for something like a room or place and I just reluctantly followed too scared to ask why. I'm not sure of why I was scared but something about the place felt off, like we were really trapped. After awhile of wandering around, my dad pointed at a door and said that'd what they were looking for. We all went inside and it ended up leading to my old house. Confused I asked why we left and where we just were but he said it didn't matter and to go to bed because it was late. Again I was confused because it seemed to be day before we went into the house and now it was dark outside. I didn't say anything and went to my old room, it looked the same as I remembered. I opened the closet to see if there was a portal or doorway to another world. (When I was younger I imagined it lead to another world and acted like my toys were traveling through space in the closet similar to the Tartus from Dr. Who). To my surprise it did open up to another room but it was the living room closet, downstairs. I shut and reopened it a few times to see if it would change but it didn't. I took it as a sign to leave and went through the door. (Writing this out now it maked me think of Alice going down the rabbit hole). I walked into the living room but it was silent, compared to before I could hear my parents talking from my room like they were down stairs. I walked around the first story looking around and ended up at the front door. I walked outside and wandered into the yard. I then saw a large black suburban slowly driving down the road. I instinctively climbed up the nearest tree and hid as the car went by. While in the tree, I heard something on the branch next to me, I looked over and saw a small dragon. After it was clear, we both jump down and ran. My memory is foggy of how but we ended up in a restaurant that attached to an indoor soccer field. With the dragon on my shoulder we walked in and went to a bar where you could see the field. The soccer players looke my age and were practicing near the entrance of the restaurant. We watched and eventually one came over to me and said hi. I don't remember what we talked about but finally he asked about the dragon and what we were doing there since he didn't recognize us. I said the dragon was my friend and we ran away from home. He asked why but I didn't answer and just told asked him if he knew a place we could go until we figure out what were gonna do. He said that his family owned a restuarant under their house (like a small apartment type building) and I could stay there since the restaurant stays open really late. I thanked him and we started walking to his home when a police man started to approach us. The dragon said he wasn't really a policeman and that we should run. We ran around the block until we lost him but ended up lost ourselves... To be continued (I can't finish writing it at the moment sorry)
