To this fic: it's only a short one as you can see. The fic consists so far of two dreams: The Kurgan's and Duncan's. (The first is funny, the second scary). Maybe, I will add others.
I don't know if the rating PG-13 is correct, but on the other side there are only 2 deaths, no sex - so I think it should be ok.
And the standard disclaimer for me: I'm not English, so there are very likely mistakes. If someone reads this and wants to become my beta, you are more than welcome ;-)
The Kurgan's nightmare
The Kurgan found himself standing in a room that was full of fresh blood. From the walls dripped blood, and to his feet laid the dead bodies of the victims, he had slaughtered recently. He heard a moan and saw that one of his victims was still alive. Grinning evilly, he grabbed the body of the man and sliced his throat open. Very satisfied with himself, he then watched the dying man fall to the floor and stare with wide eyes, that reflected the horror and shock he was feeling, up at the Kurgan. The Kurgan grinned, and looked back into the braking eyes as he lifted his bloodied sword to his mouth and licked it clean. Hmmm...how sweet, he thought.
World is so good, he then murmured evilly as he turned around...
...and almost didn't trust his eyes as he watched the red walls change its colour into pink. Instead of blood, he found himself now staring in disbelief at some pictures, which looked as if young children had printed them, colourful flowers and animals.
Stepping a little bit closer to the walls, he suddenly stumbled of something that lay on the floor in front of him. The Kurgan barely managed to stop his fall with his hands, and landed on his back, which was immediately burning in pain. As his eyes caught the thing, he had fallen over, he shook his head totally aghast: it was a small pink-coloured penguin.
This is not real, he tried to reassure himself, this is a nightmare...I have to wake up. He closed his eyes, but only for a second; few moments later, he heard loud screaming, "the Kurgan has a little farm, hea, hea, ho," coming from all directions. In disbelieving shock, he reopened his eyes again, and almost didn't believe his sins as he saw several young children surround him.
He blinked and then found himself face-to-face with Connor MacLeod, who held a small child, which was clothed in a Scottish dress, in his arms. The child laughed at him and pointed one finger in his direction. "Yes, Duncan, uncle Kurgan looks funny," he then heard Connor's voice, "but it's not nice to laugh at him...We don't want him to cry, do we?"
As if Connor's words had been a signal, suddenly all children began to laugh and point a finger at him. Looking down at himself, he saw that he no longer was wearing his leather clothes, he normally wore, but instead was dressed in a pink outfit with yellow elephants on it. Roaring in disbelief and anger, he made himself ready to kill the children to silence them forever, but then starred in shock at the sword he now was holding in his hand – it was no longer a real sword, instead it happened to be a plastic Jedi-sword now, also coloured in the terrible pink.
"No, no, no," he screamed in pure horror as he backed away to make a run to the door, but realized in panic that all doors had vanished and that he was captured.
A second later, he found himself confronted with a small dark-haired boy, who had a scar over his left eye. The boy was clothed totally in black, and had also black paintings on his face. "I'm the end of time," he heard the boy squeak as he attacked him with a green Jedi-sword. The Kurgan was too surprised to dodge the blow, and screamed in pain as the sword connected with his right knee. Damning the boy loudly, the Kurgan tried to make an escape but found himself unable to as another boy suddenly jumped at his knee and remained to hang there.
"Yes, Caspian," he heard the first kid scream in enthusiasm. "Get him down."
Some seconds later, two other children appeared; one was a little bigger and held a small pink horse in his hand while he starred at the other green-gold-eye child, which stood next to him. Both children had also paintings on their faces, the green-gold-eye child in blue and the other in black. If someone had taken a closer look at this boy, he had been able to see remains of pink horses, which had been painted there before someone had covered it with black colour.
"Where is your sword, Silas?" the kid with the green-gold-eyes wanted to know.
"I...I lost it," the bigger child stammered and then burst out in tears, "Wahhhhhhhhhhhh..........."
"Don't mint," the green-gold-eye child tried to comfort him, "You can look after our horse instead."
The Kurgan wanted to scream in anger at them as he suddenly felt a burning pain in his left leg. Ahhh," he cried and began to hop at his other leg. Looking down, he then saw in total disbelief that the other child, the scar-child had called Caspian, had bitten him. This was terrible, really terrible; the evil brats were worse than everything he had ever seen before. Hopping on his better leg, he tried to make it to safety – but he didn't get very far.
He only had managed four jumps as he heard the scream, "die," from behind, and felt a burning pain spread in his right leg. Not able to hold his balance any longer, he painfully felt to the floor. When he angrily looked up again, he stared into the evil grinning face of the green-gold-eye kid.
"It's against the rules to attack from behind," the Scottish kid, he had seen with Connor earlier, now squeaked in. "I'm Duncan MacLeod from the Clan MacLeod, and will not let you harm uncle Kurgan." With that, he stepped in front of the Kurgan's disbelieving eyes.
"Haha," came the laughter of the first child with the scar. "You not even have a weapon," he grinned and pointed his sword at Duncan.
"I don't need one," Duncan shouted back while he clenched his small fist in front of his face. "I am a Highlander."
"And we are the Horseman of the Apocalypse," the scar-child shouted back, "we will rule the world."
"Yes, and we have a horse," the big child screamed very proudly as he held the pink toy above his head.
"Shut up," came the angry reply of the child, which continued to hang at the Kurgan's leg. "You stupid fool."
"I'm NOT a stupid fool," the big child cried back as he burst out into tears. "Methos, tell him that I'm not a stupid fool," he then demanded into the direction of the green-gold-eye child, that was still eying the Kurgan with an evil expression on his face. The Kurgan shuddered, these children were little devils – hell couldn't be worse than these little brats. He wanted to get up but found himself held down by the weight of the other boy and the sword, the green-gold-eye child suddenly pointed at his face.
"Shut up, all of you," the scar-child ordered angrily. "Die," he then screamed and attacked the Scottish child in front of him.
A minute later, both were rolling over the floor, shouting loudly at each other, biting and kicking around. The big child was still crying that he was not stupid, and the green-gold-eye child had began to hit the Kurgan's right leg with his sword while the fourth child once again embedded his teeth into the Kurgan's other leg. When the Kurgan screamed in pain, the other children were jumping around him and screaming, "uncle Kurgan, uncle Kurgan".
The Kurgan's scream got louder until...
...until he found himself sitting upright in his bed, clenching his sword very tight with his wrist. "Oh, God," he thought relieved, "what a terrible nightmare."
