(A/N: This chapter should give you more of a perspective on Bruno and why Cindy hates him so much. Make sure you review. Otomos!)
Chapter 4: A bad memory
-flashback-
Cindy and her mother are running in the woods from a group of villagers with torches and spears(A/N: The usual for attacking villagers.) and Bruno was leading them. Crystal lost their tail for a few moments and took that opportunity to hide Cindy under the roots of a seaweed tree.
Crystal: Cindy, stay here. You'll be safe.
Cindy: But what about you?
Crystal: Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.
Crystal ran away from the approaching villagers. Cindy ducked down to keep out of sight. She noticed that Bruno wasn't with them and then... Fwshing! A spear was thrusted into the roots of the seaweed tree.
Bruno: I see this hunt just got easier.-thrusts spear-
Cindy:-dodges and runs out the backway-
Bruno:-runs after her-
Cindy:-keeps running-
Bruno:-catches her and lifts her up a little- Have a nice flight.-raises spear-
Cindy:-kicks below the belt-
Bruno:-drops her- AH! You little...
Cindy:-runs away-
Bruno:-throws spear-
Cindy:-gets sideswiped by the spear- Owww!-keeps running-
Bruno:-staggers toward the spear-
Cindy:-climbs up a tree and breaths heavily from running-
Bruno:-runs by and completely misses her-
Cindy:-sighs from relief-
Cindy may have ditched Bruno, but her mother and the villagers was a different story. They chased her over to a cliff where she was faced with two choices: To stay and be stabbed to death with spears or to jump to her death. She chose choice number two. She jumped from the cliff and was falling when Cindy happened to witness it. She stayed in that tree and cried for about a few minutes until she noticed a strange glint coming from the bottom of a nearby tree. She climbed down to investigate and...
-flashback ends-
Spongebob: Cindy? Are you alright?
Cindy: Yes. I'm fine.
Spongebob: You seem strangely quiet today.
Cindy: I just have a lot on my mind is all.
Spongebob: Well, okay. Hey we're going out to eat tonight for-
Cindy: The coming of a new member, correct?
Spongebob: Yeah.
Cindy: Okay. When do we leave?
Spongebob: At seven.
Cindy: Seven o'clock.
Spongebob:-leaves the room-
-moments later-
Cindy: My past... So troubling to me...
?????:-inside Cindy's head- Then why not try to end your troubles?
Cindy: Who's contacting me?
?????: You should know who this is. But don't worry, my troubles are over for the time being.
Cindy: Well i don't know and what do you mean?
?????: Such a shame you don't know who this is. Oh well, i guess i could always tell you later on in your life.
Cindy: You're not making any sense to me.
?????: Of course not. Your mind is too inexpierienced to know.
Cindy: Who are you?
?????: Perhaps another time, but for now i'll leave you with this riddle.
Cindy: A riddle?
?????: I feed from your suffers and attack at your dreams. But know matter what you do, you never get rid of the haunting memory of me...-disappears-
Cindy: That was strange. Who was that?
(A/N: Now that you have a better perspective of Bruno, i bet you think you know why he picks on her, right? Wrong! There's still one more mystery to solve on Bruno's case. But for now i leave you with this question: Who did contact Cindy? More on the next chapter, till then review please! Otomos!)
