Chapter 7 Another One Bites The Dust
Dream
Kenickie opened his eyes to find himself in a dark room. He got up off the ground. He heard deep breathing in the room."Hello?" he called."Is anyone there?". The deep breathing got closer and closer, then… Kenickie got pushed to the ground! He screamed as he got pushed. Kenickie turned around, a light shined, showing the lady's face! Kenickie screamed and backed up. The lady walked closer to Kenickie."Well, well, well. Isn't it little Kenickie Murdoch here to save my little Danny" the lady said.
"Who are you? Where's Zuko?" Kenickie wondered.
"We like to get strait to the point now, huh. Well, Danny is trapped in his bed room. But, there is no way I'm letting you get to him, Murdoch. Let's say we have a little fun" she grinned."No!" Kenickie cried as the lady grabbed his wrist." I have to get to Danny!" he cried as he was pulled away. Kencickie and the lady vanished! Kenickie reappeared in this mirror maze.
Their were four mirrors around him. Kenickie pushed the mirror in front of him."Let me out!" Kenickie cried."This is a maze. Theirs only one way out. If you don't go out the right way. You will be lost forever" A man's voice said."Please" Kenickie pleaded."I just want to get to Danny"."You may start the maze. Good luck, Mr. Murdoch" the man's voice said. Kenickie looked around him. He chose the mirror on the left and pushed it. Then he chose the mirror on the right. He kept going and soon enough, he found himself in a hallway.
"Am I out?" Kenickie wondered. Suddenly, Kenickie saw the lady at the end of the hallway, entering a room."Hey, wait!" Kenickie cried and ran to the room. Kenickie tried opening the door, but it was locked! He heard the lady humming. Kenickie started pounding on the door."Let me in!" he demanded."Danny!"."Hey" a quiet voice called behind Kenickie. Kenickie gasped as he turned around to see a little boy, with light brown hair."Who are you" Kenickie asked the little boy."Timmy. Timmy Rivera" the little boy who looked about ten said. Kenickie continued looking at the boy.
"Mama doesn't like it when someone tries to take her children away" Timmy told him. Kenickie had a puzzled look on his face now."Mama? Wait are you one of the kids she took?" Kenickie asked. Timmy sighed."It happened back in 1939. It was winter time and I was very sick. I was dreaming about her for as long as I can remember. She took me away in my sleep and that's when I died. It was January 14. She continued to nurse me, even though I will never grow up because I'm gone. She continues to search for cute children to take" Timmy explained. Kenickie sighed."I'm sorry about what happened to you. The name's Kenickie Murdoch" Kenickie greeted and shook the child's hand.
"I can help you get in that room" Timmy said. Kenickie's eyes widened.
"Really? I'm trying to help my friend. Danny Zuko" Kenickie told him.
"Hm. I don't know a Danny Zuko, but, since you can now see mama… you're probably her new child" Timmy added.
Kenickie sighed."You're probably right".Timmy grabbed something out of his pocket. It's a key.
"This is an extra key I took from mommy's jewelry box, so I can get in that room. This used to be my room" Timmy said. Kenickie moved out of the way and Timmy unlocked the door."Here you go, mister" Timmy said."Thanks a lot, kid" Kenickie thanked and went inside the room."Danny!" Kenickie called. Danny's in the crib. The lady turned to see Kenickie."Murdoch" she growled."How did you get in here"."Never mind that. Give me my friend back" Kenickie ordered."Their is no way I'm giving you Danny back. He's my little baby. So, just stay back while I take care of him. I'll take care of you in a minute" The lady said and looked back in the crib.
Danny sat up."Kenickie" Danny called. The lady lightly pushed Danny back down and covered him up."There, there, now. You get your rest while I go see Mr. Murdoch. Then, I'll give you a nice warm bottle, okay" she cooed at the eighteen year old greaser. The lady and Kencikie left the room. The lady closed the door almost all way, leaving it open just a crack. She crossed her arms as she looked at Kenickie."Look, Murdoch. I don't know who you think you're dealing with, but no one takes my child away from me" she told him. Kenickie crossed his arms as well.
"Zuko told me you terrorized other cute children in their dreams before you take over their life" Kenickie said. The lady sighed."It's true. Danny's not the only child I had. I was seeing him for 16 years, before he got his first bed. I terrorized other many other children, going all the way back to 1912" The lady explained.
Authors Note: Yep, another clift hanger. Theirs your surprise… Kenickie now dreams about the lady too. You will hear more about the lady's story in the next chapter. You will get to know what her real name is sometime. Also, Timmy is my new OC. I took the name Rivera from the movie 'Coco' for his last name. Thank you for continuing to read. Next Chapter!
