A/n: Okay, readers! I love the RR, but for you who want to get to the scary part, well, this chapter is gonna hesitate on that. I put fluff at the beginning, but not to worry! I put a special, spooky surprise at the end, it'll be easier to understand if you read all of it.

Both partners were frightened as the day turned to night. Brennan took one side of the fire and Booth took the other so they may sleep. It was a bit chilly and to make it worst, they didn't have any blankets or food. The only thing keeping them warm was the fire.

Booth hoped that this will be an excuse for him to sleep at least a bit closer to her, but before he suggested anything she said, "Well, I'll sleep on this side, and you the other. Goodnight then." Then she just laid down on her side with her wounded back facing the fire and him.

Brennan didn't want to lay next to Booth for her own reasons. She sometimes moved a lot in her sleep. Sometimes, she would fall off the bed when she had a bed. Even when she slept with Sully, she had to silently get out of bed after they've had sex and sleep in the couch only because she didn't want to accidentally hit him.

Throughout the night, Brennan slept and woke up and then slept and then woke up. It was annoying her and then she realized that the whole time, the fire kept going. She sat up and checked on Booth. He was just sitting and looking out into the forest. She saw that he was only wearing an undershirt and then she looked down on her lap. His dress shirt was placed over her as a blanket.

He was trembling and she felt awful. She stood up and went to him quietly and placed his dress shirt over his shoulders, startling him.

"Bones! You scared me. I thought-- Never mind." Booth started.

Brennan sat next to him near the fire. "You know you didn't have to give me your shirt. It's really cold. It's not good for you to be exposed like that."

"Exposed? Ha." Booth chuckled. "It's just that, you were shivering in your sleep and I just thought that you needed it." He grew somber.

"Thank you." Brennan answered after a long period of silence. Booth nodded in welcome. He suddenly said, "Well, I better get some sleep." He laid down right where he was on his back.

Brennan gave him a look as he put his hands under his head. "Hey, you're welcomed to sleep here and keep warm or you can go back to you side." He said coolly and closed his eyes.

Brennan rolled her eyes. She was hesitant, but she also didn't want to go back to her dark side. She bit her lip and laid down on her side beside him, with her arm tucked under her head and her back facing the forest. A tiny smile played on Booth's lips as his eyes were closed.

"Shut up." Brennan said as she got comfortable. Booth opened his eyes with a full smile on his face.

"What?" He chuckled.

"Shut up and go to sleep." Brennan said with her eyes closed. Booth shook his head and closed his eyes as Brennan said her last words, "And don't try anything funny." Booth laughed with Brennan by his side.

Brennan woke up and saw that the fire was gone and the sun was out even though it was dimmed by the trees. Then she felt a warm breath on her neck and something soft cushioning her wounded back. It felt…good. Then she heard a groan come from back of her. That's when she noticed a large arm wrapped around her and it was wrapped with bandages. She rolled over and was literally nose-to-nose with Booth where both of their noses were touching.

Now his eyes were wide open as Brennan's big, blue eyes met his. She leaned back as Booth's arm was still around her. "Protecting me from the scary little girl, Booth?" Brennan said with a wicked smile and her eyebrow up.

"It's my job," He replied calmly, avoiding the fact that her lips were centimeters away from his.

"Um, Booth?" Brennan asked and Booth answered with a, "Yeah?"

"Do you mind if you take your arm off of me?" She asked. Booth reluctantly let go and she left his grasp.

Within minutes, the partners were ready for another long, exhausting walk. For a while, they walked quietly, but then Booth decided to start a conversation that he knew would start a conflict.

"So, now do you believe that there are such things as spirits and ghosts?" Booth pushed.

"Booth, spirits and ghosts are the same thing." Brennan said.

"No, they're not."

"Yes, they are. Both are lingering, transparent at times, and they both don't go into the 'light' as you like to say. Therefore they are the same."

Booth stood silent for a while, mauling it over. "Same difference."

"That doesn't even make sense, Booth."

"Yes, it does!"

"No it doesn't! How can it be the same thing and still be different?! If you're saying that it's the same definition yet they have different names, then it's a simile, not a 'same difference' theory!" Brennan argued.

Booth put his un-messed up hand up in defeat. "Okay! Okay! Geez! I get it! So, anyways, now do you believe?"

"Well, I did see Lilly and a man who I found dead in the store, so I have to say that there isn't enough proof to tell me that this isn't a prank." She said as she kept walking and Booth stopped. He couldn't believe this woman.

"What. Does it take. For you. To believe?! The damn girl scratched you and you want more proof?!" Booth exclaimed. Brennan just laughed.

"Booth, I was only teasing. Of course, now I believe. It doesn't mean that I'm going to get into religion. I'm still rational Temperance Brennan." She smiled and Booth calmed down.

"Yeah. You're still annoying Temperance Brennan." He muttered as they began walking again.

That's when they heard a girl's laugh. Lilly. Booth and Brennan stopped dead and looked around. They didn't see anything and Booth said, "Let's keep going. The sooner we walk, the sooner we get out of here."

Suddenly, Lilly showed up in front of them. Both jumped back as the little girl smiled her evil smirk. She laughed and tilted her head to the side.

"Booth!" Brennan screamed. Lilly moved faster than the eye can follow and went through the partners. She disappeared.

Booth was terrified and he took Brennan's hand, pulling her away. "Come on, Bones! Let's get out of here!" She didn't move. Booth turned to look at her.

Brennan had her head down and her hair covered her face. She stood still. Booth let go of her hand. "Bones?"

She held up her head and she had on the most disturbing smile on her face. Her eyes were white and she laughed evilly just as Lilly did.

Booth took a large step away from her. "BONES!!" She just kept laughing and smiling.
