The Past (One Shot)

Untold Past

"M-mommy, d-daddy help m-me. Where are you?" the child whispered to herself and kept running. She is in the kitchen looking for a place to hide.

I tried to look around to see who was chasing her but to no avail. Dark, dark is what I see. The moonlight does not help because we are inside the house.

"I don't want to play with him."

Surprisingly it was as if I could read her mind. It was as if we were one.

I woke up panting, that dream again. How many years have I had that dream that always woke me up?

I looked at the wristwatch if it lit up signaling that I would go at that time, but no, it did not glow as I expected. I was always waiting for it to shine and the light would swallow me, but it didn't seem like it was time for me to get there.

I got this watch, or better to say it was given to me when I was young. A woman, I think is twice at my age.

She gave it to me because she said I was the only way to get justice for that child.

And as a child, I did not understand it.

"Wear it always, one day you will know what I want to convey to you." these were her last words before leaving, since then I have never seen her again.

I even remember the first night I dreamed of a woman and a man you would notice having a relationship with.

I was in that place. They waved at each other with a smile on their faces.

The woman was going to the other side of the road to cross, but an unexpected event happened that surprised us all. To the man, to me and to the people on that road.

The woman was run over by a speeding vehicle. The car collided with a pole, fortunately no one was hurt.

At a young age I cried at what I witnessed. Why is this my dream?

It used to be just a beautiful place, but now it is a tragedy.

I gasped as I sat on my bed, the sun was shining brightly.

There I saw the watch given to me glowing, its too bright. I put it on myself and struggled to resist the bright coming from the watch.

I was surprised as if this light swallowed me and I went into a dimension? Dimensional, concentrated gear that looks like a moving machine.

There I went to the scene I had dreamed of before I woke up.

I am here in that place. They see me and feel because something hit me, a girl.

I saw the woman, I wanted to stop her from going to the other side of the road, but I did not know how to do it.

Moments later what I saw in my dream happened. The woman!

And from there darkness enveloped me and when I opened my eyes I was already in bed, mommy and daddy were there.

That was my first dream that I found out it had a long time ago.
I still have many dreams besides that, but there is one dream that I have never been to.

The one with the child running.

***
I did the routines every morning, and went downstairs to have breakfast.

"Mommy, where's dad?" I asked my mom when I saw her in the kitchen

"In the office-" and there daddy entered as if it was a signal that he should enter the scene

"I'm here, why are you looking for me beautiful young lady?" I smiled at what he said, nothing changed.

"Daddy really, I'm not a kid anymore" and there the three of us laughed.
