Thanks so much for the great reviews. I really didn't think anyone would like it.
Emma (Nsdreamangel@msn.com) - Thanks for the great review! I hope I can keep you intrigued.
SilentBanshee - Cool Name! I hope to see where this goes to! LOL!
Jena - I'm going to try to make the chapters longer. The last one was short, because I was supposed to be doing my homework, but instead I was goofing around.
Snuffles 55 -- I will try to continue with this fanfic. I don't quite know what a Beta-Reader is, but if you tell me what it is, then maybe?
Myra2003 - Thanks for the great review!!
Meghan - I'll try to continue this as much as I can!

Author's note: Seeing as I'm only a freshman in high school, it's going to be hard to keep up with all my homework AND this fanfic, but I'll try as hard as I can.

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
Chapter Two: The Dream
Scarlett awoke with a ringing in her ears. Her head hurt from crying in her sleep. Not quite knowing where she was Scarlett stepped out of Rhett's bed. The process was long and slow because she had not bothered to take of her gown and petticoats to put on a nightgown.
Scarlett stepped out of Rhett's room in a daze. She remembered what had happened the day before, but could not quite register it. Scarlett approached the grand staircase, and had to clasp the banister so she would not fall.
Slowly, and deliberately she walked down the staircase. She would get something to eat. Food always made a bad situation better. Then she would go to Tara, her beloved Tara.
She reached to bottom of the stairs only to be bombarded by her servant, Pansy. "Oh, Miss Scarlett! You's looks so poorly. Get up there's in your room right now's." Scarlett, too weary to argue solemnly nodded, and retraced to her steps up the stairs.
Scarlett's next few days were spent in the quite solitude of her misery. Pansy telling her she needed to keep up on her health and Scarlett numbly following orders.
It was the day before Melanie's funeral when Pansy told Scarlett, "Miss Scarlett, you's better eat so you's can be strong for Miss Wilke's funeral."
Looking up from her plate Scarlett replied, "Melly's funeral. It's too soon, it can't be tomorrow. I can't think about that today Pansy, I'll, I'll think about it tomorrow."
"Yes'um, whatever you say Miss Scarlett."
That night, Scarlett tossed and turned in her bed sheets as her old dream came back stronger than ever. She was once again in the mists that had become her life. She was continually running, never knowing where she was going.
Then, as if by fate, she saw Melly standing there holding out her hand, "Oh, Scarlett It's ok. Everything's going to be all right. Captain Butler loves you so."
"Oh, Melly!" Scarlett cried as she reached out to touch Melanie only to have her disappear.
Scarlett continued to search thought the dreadful mist until she heard a soft laughter. "Daddy, watch me jump!"
'Oh God,' thought Scarlett, 'please don't make me relive that awful moment. I couldn't stand to see Bonnie die again.'
As Scarlett felt she was getting closer to her destination she saw Rhett. He was laughing with a menace she had never seen before.
"Oh, Rhett!" she cried, "Please don't leave me now. I love you please stay."
Rhett only looked at her with a grin that was uniquely his. "Farewell Scarlett, I could never love you. You're even lower than Belle Watling; at least I had respect for her."
When that, Rhett too faded away into the mist, to leave Scarlett all alone.
Scarlett awoke drenched with sweat. She had had her dream again. The sun was out and for the first time in days Scarlett came out of her daze. Today was Melanie's funeral.
