Nightmares

 

One afternoon, Rebecca and Clark pretended to be the princess and the prince, the evening came, and Clark’s mother pass by to go back home.
- 'Give us more time, Mommy! Please, he begged.
- 'Yes ma’am! ... Why don’t you let him sleep here tonight? She smiled.
- No guys! You have been playing for a long time, now you have to rest and recharge for tomorrow.
- ‘Can I come tomorrow, Mommy?
-¡Sure, My love! Now, say goodbye and let's go.
-¡Ok! See you tomorrow Rebecca.
-Until tomorrow, Clark.
-Goodbye Mr. Gerard.
-Goodbye, Clark!
Clark 's mother and he went home again.
Rebecca lived alone with her father; her mother had abandoned her when she was born so she did not know how the love of a mother was.
-Daddy ... can you sleep with me today?
-Baby, I have too much work.
-I can join you in the living room?
-All right, but you'll sleep.
-Sure!
Rebecca accompanied her father all the night ... but what happened on her dreams was:
-Come on, Rebecca! Why can’t you believe we are real?
-'Yes, if you want tomorrow we go down to Earth and show us Clark, and can tell him that you love him.
-¡You’ll hurt him! Why would I introduce him to you?

But in her dreams, Rebecca was older than in real life.  
These beings were rare, with six eyes in the back, four hands and their fingers change of color continually.
After 8 years, Rebecca was already a beautiful girl, smart and funny.
'Come, Clark! Do not be afraid, nothing will happen.
-You say ‘anything’?! In the middle of the night, in the woods, where we do not know anyone, YOU AND ME ALONE ?!
 'I can tell dad to come with us
-¡Definitely not! I do not want anything bad to happen to you.
-¡What happens is that you are a chicken!
-¡No I am not, I’m trying to protect you!
-¡I can take care of myself!
-'Then go by yourself!
Clark was very upset and he was leaving.
-Clark! She approached to him- Please! What is it that you fear?
-All right, I fear that those things that you've been dreaming therefore, appear.
-'They are only nightmares!
- What if they were real?
- You'd be there to take care of me, right?
-She sighed - Okay, we will go.
Thank you, Clark! I love you.
 After that she kissed him on the cheek and hugged him, he replied with a smile.

-Me too.
 

They went to Clark 's house to prepare bags, then go to Rebecca’s.
-Clark, where is your mom?
 - She is at work.
- Do you told her about the trip?
-I’ll tell her when she arrives
-Will she let you?
-Yes, I'm sure.
All right.
 

They go to Rebecca’s house for her stuff, and then they took Clark's car and went to his home to ask for permission.

- Come on, mom! I have done everything.

- 'All right! When will you return?

-Sunday, ma'am.

-'I want you to be punctual!

-Sure, they said.

Clark and Rebecca were in a cabin in the forest.

- Rebecca, why don’t you go to sleep?

-I’m ok. Why don’t you go? You seem tired.

- What if an alien comes and does something?

 She laughed.

After some minutes, they heard strange noises.

-Wait here, I'll see what happens.

-Clark! Come back!.

She ran to him, both were shocked at what their eyes saw.

-This is what you dreamed?

- Well, they had only four fingers not eight.

-This looks like an alien

Then the "alien" speak.

-I told you that someday I would meet Clark.

- What do you want from us? Clark said

- Nothing!

The "Alien" throw a kind of spittle into Clark, so he get stuck in the ground.

-¡¡¡Rebecca!!! Help me.

She tried to help, but she could not. The monster was grabbing her arm.  

-¡Rebecca, he's not real!- Clark said.

"He's not real", circled by Rebecca's head, who tried to escape and confused by all, she leaves Clark there, and she ran to the end of the place, where there was a kind of red water that seemed like lava, or that was it. She fall down.

-¡¡Rebecca!! – Clark yelled

Then she woke up, she had been dreaming at Clark's car.

-What is it, Rebecca?

-The monster has advised you that we are in the woods?- he joked.

 

-¡You are not funny!
