Awakened

~Ray~

I was in a deep sleep when I was rudely awakened by one of my younger sisters, Coral. I heard her scream

“MOM! MOM! NO DON’T HURT HER! LET HER GO! PLEASE STOP!”

Then I heard her begin to cry. After a few minutes she started again

“DAD! NO!!! STOP YOUR GOING TO KILL HIM! PLEASE STOP!”

She was silent for a while when I heard her breathing begin to pick up. I slowly got out of bed and marked it on the calendar. It was her seventh dream and seventh time she’s woken me up from these dreams.

I realize my alarms going to go off soon, so I decide to beat Coral for once and go down to the gym.

After about 30 minutes Coral comes into the gym. I watch as her big coral eyes bug out and I know I have startled her.

“Uh!  you scared me!” she said

“Sorry I didn’t me to frighten to you” I replied

“It’s okay…..”

She paused for a moment and I awaited the question I’ve been dreading since she walked in.

“Why are you up before me?” she asked

My heart pounded as I knew I couldn’t tell her. One question would lead into another and I had to keep my mouth shut, just as my Grandpa had told me when I found out who she is or should I say… who my whole family is.
