Until you come home...

I am alone in the woods and the cold wind is making my body ache. I run but I don't know why. I feel that something is behind me but I can't see it. I don't know what to do, I don't know where I am. It is just...what was that? I heard something. But I can't run anymore, I need to stop or I will find myself on the ground in the next minute. I will stay here to recover my strenght. Look! There is a crow in that tree. At least I am not alone. It is staring at me, but wait...it is coming closer and closer, what the...oh no it bit me and it keeps attacking me. God, what's happening here? I have to run again, but the crow is behind me. My heart is beating so fast and my hands are full of blood. But wait, from where is coming all that blood? I don't feel any pain. And why I see my little brother waving at me?
- Dylan, where are you going? Please don't run from me! You know it wasn't my fault. Dylan!!! I do what is right. I didn't do this to leave you. I think I paid enough for your hate. Look at me! I am here on my knees begging...
Out of nowhere my little brother shows up in front of me, having those big blue eyes that always broke something inside me when they were full of tears.
- Dylan...
- You know I am not real, but death is. Try to stay away from it until you...And suddenly he disappears.
- Until what? Dylan?
I hear a gunshot and I am awake. It was all just a dream. I am again where I am supposed to be. With my others army brothers. This is where I belong. At least for now. It is my duty to protect the others. I know that he didn't understand but I know that he forgave me. And I realised what he was trying to say: until you come back home...
