Chapter 2: The Dream
She raced home eagerly thinking about the things that had happened. "I just need some rest...and a nice cool shower" As she turned on the shower she waited....nothing. Then there was a strange noise. She looked up at the showerhead to suddenly see sand pouring through it! She ran out of the room and raced down the hall for her bedroom. The lights flickered out. She froze and began panting. She reached behind her for her class of water with a shaky hand. She felt for it. When she started to hold it to her mouth, the lights flickered on. She looked at the glass by her lips. It was filled with sand and a scorpion laid in it and lashed out for her scraping her cheek. She screamed and dropped the glass shattering it. The scorpion dashed under her bed and the lights went out again, all but one. In the hall way there was a shut door with a bright light seeping under it. She opened the door to find someone sitting in a chair with there back facing her. She walked up to them. A boy with white hair and a sweetly smiling turned his head around to look back at her. She felt a wave of relief and continued forward. He made a little chuckle and his face seem to change and look up at her smiling wickedly and he sharply reached out and grabbed her arm tightly and licked the blood from her cheek! He was the man she had seen in the black coat! She sat up in bed with a jolt, panting. "It was just a dream..." she sighed. She got up and began getting ready for work. As she took her shower she noticed there was a bit of sand on the floor of her shower. Looking over at the foggy shower wall she noticed a tall figure watching. She turned off the shower and reached out for her towel to wrap around her. As she opened the shower door and peered out he was gone. She stepped out and started brushing her teeth and then her hair in the bathroom mirror. She clumsily dropped the hairbrush and reach down for it when she rose up again the man was standing behind her. She turned around and flung the hairbrush at him, but he had vanished again. Where he had stood, there was a chewed on toothpick laying on the ground in his place. As she walked past the shower heading toward the bathroom door she saw the word Bakura written on the fogged shower door. She ran out of the room and slammed the door tightly shut behind her; "I'm just tired from the nightmare I had." She wished that she were right. She started to change her clothes when behind her came a voice,"Shannara." She turned around and grabbed a blanket off her bed to cover herself. She stood stiff. Bakura was sitting in a chair starring at her. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear, "I've been watching you." He began to kiss her neck when she realized what he was doing she reached around and tried to jab him in the eyes, but ounce again he disappeared. Everything started to catch up to her. Shannara's eyes shut and she fainted. What else happened the day of her "dream": Bonnie walked onto a porch, "This should be the place, but this doesn't look like a place he would live." Across the street, some little kids were playing basketball with one of those little plastic ball hoops that are no higher then 4ft. She knocked on the door and shortly a man with white opened the door. He looked similar to the Bakura she knew from earlier, but he looked more childish. "Please do come in.", He stated as he directed her inside. "Is that you sugar?" She followed him to his kitchen. "Of course. Who did you think I was?" He picked up a large kitchen knife and looked down. From inside of him came a small chuckle, which as he looked up became a wild and crazed laugh. He seemed to have changed. He looked like the Bakura she met at the office ounce more. Confused and feeling a bit tense she backed up as he crept forward with the knife in his hand. "Are you ok doll face?...", she whimpered. From the house came a scream and all the kids ran into their houses, "What was that!" "Don't know...", another answered. In Bakura's bedroom Bonnie had been tied to his bed. He took his knife and slashed one of her cheeks. He opened a small case and pulled out a scorpion. While he was holding it by it's tail he (with his other hand) pulled out a metal object. "Open your mouth." he commanded. "Your crazy! You think I'm going ta'-" He interrupted by shoving the object in her mouth. "You talk to much." he frowned. The object he had put in her mouth made it impossible to close her mouth. She struggled to try and shut it as he slowly started to place the scorpion in her mouth. She began whimpering. Bakura looked at her and picked up the knife. "Shut up! I'm about to do far worse!" he grinned, "I can't do this spell without you. By the way, you might not want to scream. That scorpion might become quite fierce and if you do I'll cut your cord and you won't be able to open that trap of yours again!" He set the knife down again. He reached out and pulled out her left eye. She started to scream and just as the sound started to peer out of her, the scorpion went down her throat and started stinging and pinching it. "I new you couldn't help yourself. People this millenium are so weak." he said mockingly. He left the room. When he returned he held an ashy log with a fire at one end of it. He clenched his teeth and put his hand over the fire than quickly put his hand on Bonnie's arm. He through the log back into a fire place and put his hand in some cold water. The bottom of his hand was bleeding. He stared it and smirked. Walking back into the room with his hand wrapped up in a long white bandage he said, "I've got to go, but don't worry all be back." He vanished into thin air, leaving Bonnie shacking on the bed a blood coming out of her nose and mouth. A claw broke through the skin of her throat and soon a scorpion crawled out. Bonnie's eye closed. She died leaving her body to continue absorbing the poison.
