Chapter 8:
-Nightmares-
Both left the apartment tacitly during Kathleen drank up her glass and still looked after them. Zed's words about Michael reverberated another while again in her head: "Michael is strong, physically like also with his will and the same will be also for his son." My kindliness, she hoped that Michael kept his promise and came back to her healthy. She got up and went into the kitchen.She put a jug with milk on the range. She got a cup and the cocoa from a cupboard. As the milk started to become warm she stopped it and added it to the powder in the cup and stirred it well, then, she went to Alex's room. He had stopped to play and instead he was drawing on the floor with oil-paint. She put the cup on the night table beside the bed and knelt beside the boy and looked at the drawings. To the biggest part it was indistinctly, however she could recognize fighting shapes. Dark shapes.
"I brought you a cup hot chocolate, Alex".
"Thanks you. "
"What are you drawing there?"
"I don't know, those are pictures from my nightmares."
She could recognize dog-similar creatures the people attacked. First, she/it didn't make any thoughts about it for herself, who already didn't draw such fantasia natures in this age, however what got her attention, was a cross with a red stone in the middle, she had already seen once this cross or something similar to this.After long thinking about it, it came to her mind again. Selene wore a cross with a red stone as a necklace around her neck. Alex looked at his aunt. She only simply stared at this picture.
"Everything all right, aunt?"
"Ehm, yes... of course. They are beautiful drawings, but, try to draw some happy one, yes. Drink your chocolate and then time for bed." she kissed him on the forehead. "I love you and sleep well."
"Good night. Love you too."
