I know I said I was going to post this Tuesday but I just couldn't wait any longer. So here is chapter 12, hope you guys enjoy it and also thank you for the nice reviews. It's just so much fun to read them all and to get some feedback.
It was dark. Booth was standing in a place he had never seen before. He seemed to be standing on a highway or something, except there was no traffic. He looked at his watch. It was 4:45 am. What was he doing here? Everything was so dark and he was cold. He shivered. He noticed that he wasn't wearing any coat. He dropped his gaze to the ground. It was covered with snow.
He looked all around to see if he couldn't spot a house or anything that would tell him where he might be. Out of a nowhere he saw something. It was dark but he could make out the shape of what looked like a car. He walked towards the object. He was now close enough to make it out. He had been right. It was a car.
He stepped closer and inspected it. The car was clean, nothing was out place. What was that car doing here in the middle of nowhere? Booth circled it but couldn't find trace of anything. Then he saw them. The footprints, in the snow, only one set. They weren't his. He wasn't making any prints in the snow. He went back to the front of the car. The footprints were walking away from it. They looked rather small. They had to belong to a teenager or a very small woman.
Without knowing why, Booth walked once again to the side of the car, opened the door, sat down and closed the door. It was freezing inside the car. Booth tried to get out but couldn't. He was paralyzed. He heard a sound coming from the back seat. Something was moving around in there. He wanted to turn his head but he knew he wouldn't be able. He was trapped.
He heard the hissing first then felt something wrapping himself around his forehead then going down to his mouth. He looked at the snake, trying to make out what type of snake it was. He couldn't make out a thing. Everything had grown dark around him, darker than it had been a few seconds before.
The snake continued wrapping itself around him. How long was that snake? Booth could hear it hissing his way down.
Suddenly the snake stopped and turned to face him. Its thin tongue slipped out of its mouth before disappearing as quickly as it had came out. They made eye contact. The snaked hissed again before lowering his head towards Booth and biting him in the arm.
It didn't take long before Booth felt his whole body going numb. Just before he blacked out, a woman appeared a couple of feet away from the car and stared at him.
Booth sat up abruptly in the bed. The sun was flooding in through the shut drapes. He felt something stir beside him and he was happy when Temperance opened to her eyes to look at him.
"What?" she asked him, half-asleep.
"I think I know what happened to your parents."
Evil laughter See you Tuesday:-)
