In the darkness of a three bedroom house, hides a child. A child who has been cursed since birth. As his father comes closer to him, the child cries over the dead body of his mother. With a cruel, swift movement his father arches the butcher knife down upon him.
Logan wakes with a start, sweat pouring from every inch of his body. The same dream. Every night this week has had the same dream. Logan looks at the alarm clock on the dresser next to the bed. Four thirty. What the hell is the meaning of the dream? Every night I've had it and woken up at the same time as the night before. Crawling out of bed, he gets dressed and heads for the kitchen.
Living in a two-story one bedroom, two bathroom house made him seem as though he was safe. Secure. With the reputation of a professional football player, Logan was given the utmost respect. Everyone in town either knew him or his background or had hired him to do jobs like fixing their car or put installation in their house. Logan grew up without knowing that in order to be successful, he had to know how to do the most simplest of things and then move up to the more harder things. To him, life was like a house. You worn't going to get anywhere unless you start with the easy things and have friends that respect you for who you are, not for what they can milk out of you.
He walks over to the coffee pot and pours a cup for himself. Black. Straight black coffee. "So, you had the same dream again?" a female voice asks from behind him. Logan turns and walks towards the table. "Come on, Logan. Talk to me." The women pleads. She has long strawberry red hair and baby blue eyes. Her eyes are blue today, but if she wanted to, she could make her eyes a nice shade of green. She may be thin, but that didn't mean that she couldn't hold her own. I once saw her take on a group of five men for messing with a poor person. After she kick their ass so bad, they didn't dare mess with another person.
"Sorry Scarlet, I'm just tired of these dreams. I wish for once that I'd be able to get a night of peaceful sleep." Logan looks up and smiles at Scarlet. The smile didn't hide any of the worry and stress that was running through his mind.
Scarlet was my best friend. They've known each other since we were little. Now, here we were, twenty-three and engaged. It almost feels like a dream that we can't wake up from. After her mother died, her fater had been very protective of his daughter. And I can't say that I blame him. Scarlet's last boyfriend, Josh, had his friends hold her down while he took advantage of her. Lets just say that he never got the chance to, because as soon as he was going to rape her, she screamed and I came running. As soon as I got to the area where I heard the scream and saw what was happening, I went into a rage and sent them all to the hospital for the next two months. The only thing that stoped me from going to jail for assult was Scarlet and her father, the sheriff.
"Alright. Maybe later. I gotta go to work." and with that, she puts her coffee cup into the sink, walks over to her coat and reaches for her key's, but their not there. "Hey, Logan, have you seen my...." she hears the jinggle of key's next to her ear.
"Key's?" Logan finishes, with tease in his voice and a smile on his face.
"Yes. My key's." She turns and tries to snatch the keys from his grasp. Logan pulls away the key's at the last moment. He smiles and hands her her key's and kisses her before she leaves.
"I love you." He shouts as she crosses the drive way.
"I love you too." She shouts back as she pulls out. He teases her one last time as she goes. "Fuck you!" she shouts as she shifts into drive.
"Maybe later. You have to be good." He shouts back as she drives by. She laugh's at that.
