Chapter 20: Remembering

Dean's POV

The rain came before the sun rose. I run as fast as I could to my fishing spot shaded from the sun and rain. The spot overlooks the ocean. It has easy access to the fish and crabs. I even get some shrimp if I try hard enough but I mostly get shrimp for special days like Diana's birthday a few weeks ago and soon Emma's in about 5 weeks.

I spent most of the morning fishing for the three of us. It's barely midmorning before I could hear Emma's shouts from the house. I groan. It not that I don't love Emma I do. It's just that we have hit a rough spot in our relationship. With her pregnant again we fight a lot about all most everything. Like last night we fought about how to tie knots for the fish net, for fuck sakes.

I think it's the baby, Diana. She adds more stress in our life than anything else. I love my little girl. I think she is wonderful. But still she has arrived we haven't had time to ourselves. Not Emma and me time, I mean more just me alone, like I'm doing not now. I sigh.

I get up and head back to the house after Emma shouts for the second time. I have three large fish in my hands from the good morning of fishing I had. I walk bare foot on the small little path I created after a far hundred times from coming back to this perfect fishing spot. As I walking back a deep growl sounded from behind me.

When I turn, I turn slowly. At first I didn't see the jaguars. Two different but deep growls echo over each other from two different directions. There were two jaguars hidden in the brushes, dark masses seem to watch my movement. I one motion I drop the fish and head back to my fishing spot. The jaguars race after me. I wouldn't want to lead them back to the house, especially to Diana and Emma. I run as fast I can before reaching the cliff. I throw my fishing gear to the ground and look back to see if the is something I can use.

The first jaguar leaped and attacked me. I raised my arm to shield myself from being cut through by its claws. But my arm takes most of the force as the claws cut deep into my arm, I let out a scream. From this distance I didn't think Emma can hear me, after all in she always in pain. The jaguar pins me down, and tires to claw at my face. In the fight I feel around and find a medium size rock. I hit the jaguar with it, knocking the jaguar over.

Turning over on my stomach I crawl for a while before getting back up again. Dropping the rock, I take off running as fast as I can. I can't head to the house because they will find the girls so I head to the largest cliff on the island. But I never get there.

The second jaguar leaps on me, pulling me down to the ground. It claws dig into my flesh. My head knocks against the ground and pain rings through my head. I see blood lots of blood, around me. Looking up I can the jaguar getting ready to cut me through and end me. I close my eyes and ready myself for the end.

But it never comes. I hear a growl. The pressure and the weight of the jaguar disappears. I open my eyes to see the two jaguars fight each other. I try with all the strength I have left to crawl away as fast as I can and as far as I can.

I stop after a while under shade and trees. The blood trail behind me and I can feel the breeze. I can hear my baby girl playing, and Emma's heavy footsteps.

"Dada."
