Capítulo 8: The Message

I wake up at three in the morning. I had the same nightmare as every night. My father appearing before me and I throw him off the cliff, Usually it doesn't bother me but this time was a little different. He spoke. He told me that you'll never be a good father and my child will become worse than I then I woke up in a sweat. I sit up quietly and slowly to not wake my wife. I get out of bed and go sit on the front porch. I start spacing out thinking about if my nightmares were true. I guess I had been out here for a few hours because my wife was shaking me starting to cry. "baby please respond" she says through tears. I look at her confused. How long had she been here trying to get me inside. I put my hand on her shoulder says its gonna be okay. Then she melts in front of me and my fingers turn to bone with the same message playing through my head. YOU'LL NEVER BE A GOOD FATHER. I bolt up, My heart rate through the roof. My wife wakes up scared and worried. "honey are you okay, Whats wrong?". "I just had a nightmare". I flinch to myself when I put my hand on hers, expecting it to melt. It stay solid I let out a sigh of relief and go take a cold shower to clear my thoughts. I get out and look in the mirror thinking, You really do look like him I say to myself. I get dressed and walk out to the living room. I see my wife in the living room holding Sherly, I can tell shes still worried, My nightmares had always scared her now I know why. I kiss the top of her head in a reassuring way to silently tell her everything is okay. I walk into the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee, making sure its bitter so I know its real life. I keep thinking about what my father was saying. I dont think ill be able to put him past me. I sit down with my coffee and read my book. I had always liked this book. Ive read it well over a hundred times. Its about when two gemini signs have and that child is born with the sign of gemini, He or she becomes a gemini hunter. They hunt sinner and Evil sign. I think I like it so much because both my spouse and I are gemini signs. Id like to believe our child will be a gemini, but I suppose only time will tell.
