I'm back! Time for Becca's nightmares... TANKS FOR ALL THE LOVELY REVIEWS I LOVE YOU PEOPLE! :D Enjoy!
Rebecca was standing in the ruins of Radiator Springs, under the broken stoplight. It was the only sign of anything working in town. Becca looked up at it, watching it blink. On, off, on, off, on, off...
She shook her head out of her trance and looked around. "Hello?" She called, starting to walk around. Everywhere she looked she became more devastated. The café was in ruins, the cozy cone halves of cones, the Leaning Tower of Tires the Fallen Over Tower of Tires, and so on... The dusty town seemed... Well, more dusty. A tumbleweed rolled past. It was like one of those ghost towns in one of those old western movies. Becca half expected a cowboy to ride into town.
"Hello?" She called again. "Lightning? Flo? Is anyone there?" The only response she heard was her echo. She sighed, then jumped when a British accent behind her said, "I'm here, Rebecca."
Becca spun around to see the man he recognized from the World Grand Prix. From the Mel Dorado Show. From the news channel telling the world about the arrest of Sir Miles Axlerod. He wore a green suit, and half of a smile, so it looked more like a crooked smirk.
"A-Axlerod?"
"Devistating, isn't it?" He asked, referring to the town. "What's happened?"
"What did happen?" Becca asked in bewilderment and fear.
"Lightning McQueen left. And the town died out."
"No...no Lightning wouldn't just leave... And the town in strong... They survived when they got bypassed..."
"What if the tow truck driver had already left, as well?"
Becca stared at him with a confused expression. "Why would Mater...?" Becca began to ask. As she spoke, the scene around her changed, and they were standing in an even older Radiator Springs.
"You see, Rebecca, if you die, your brother will blame the spies. They'll be kicked out of town by him. The foolish tow truck driver will stand up for them, and be kicked out as well, or leave with them. After a while your brother would eventually leave. Without him, this town is nothing."
"But I'm not going to die." She told Axlerod.
"Soon, Rebecca." Axlerod grinned. "It's all part of my revenge. We kidnap and kill you, then once the spies are kicked out, we kidnap and kill them...one by one..."
Strong winds had began to blow around them, lifting off the ground dust, dirt, sand, whatever was on the ground. The clouds overhead darkened.
"You'll never take me. Finn Holley and Sid will protect me."
"We'll see... Isn't that right, Professor?" Axelrod asked, and Becca spun around.
"Oh yes." Said a short German man whom had been standing behind her. He wore a faded teal suit and wore a monocle over the left of his gray eyes. Becca remembered back to the news on TV about Axlerod's arrest, but she didn't recognize this short man. Professor... She thought trying I remember something about him...
Suddenly the sky darkened a bit more, and thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. Becca looked down when she heard loud cracks and slight crumbling. The ground was crumbling under her feet. Just hers though, Axlerod and the Professor stayed safe.
"We're watching you, Rebecca." Axlerod told her.
She looked in horror as it crumbled more until a gaping hole appeared in the ground. She fell into it as if it sucked her in. She screamed as voices echoed around her whispering, "We're watching you, Becca." "We're watching you."
"Becca!" A new voice suddenly yelled. "Becca?"
Becca looked around. She was safe in her bed... The voices, the storm was gone... And Siddeley was sitting on her bed having shaken her awake-SIDDELEY!? Becca screamed in her head.
Siddeley took his hands off her shoulders.
"S-Siddeley...!? W-what are you doing in my room? What are you doing in my house!?"
"Uh..." He said looking down, blushing slightly. "Finn told me to knock on your door, and see if you were alright... When you didn't answer I went in to make sure you weren't kidnapped or anything... And you looked like you were having a pretty bad nightmare..."
Becca sighed a bit. "I was..." She said. "Thank you..." She said wrapping her arms around him in a hug. Siddeley was surprised but slowly hugged back.
"You...wanna talk about it?"
"No, just... This whole being stalked by Axlerod thing... Even my subconscious is scared..."
"What happened in your dream? Not to pry, or anything..."
"No, it's fine. He... He and this other guy were telling me they had this plan... To kill me so Lightning would blame you and Finn and Holley... And then eventually the town would turn into this wasteland..." Becca almost shuddered at the vivid memory of the Radiator Springs from her dream.
"Finn and Holley and I won't let that happen." Siddeley reassured. Becca smiled. "This other guy... What did he look like?"
Becca knitted her eyebrows, thinking. "I'm...pretty sure I've seen him before but can't remember where... He was short... And he had a monocle and gray eyes. And a comb over."
"German accent? Called "Professor"?"
"Yeah, who is he?"
"Professor Zündapp is a very dangerous wanted weapons designer. I believe he was second-in-command for the World Grand Prix scam. He must've broken out of prison as well as Axlerod... I wonder if Grem and Acer are out too..." Siddeley sighed, then looked back at Becca. "Finn and Holley and I will protect you."
"Thank you, Sid..." Becca grinned when her smile suddenly dropped.
"Uh, Sid?"
"Yeah?"
"Could you get off my bed?" Becca asked awkwardly.
"Oh... Sure..." Siddeley said standing up, trying to hide his blush.
...
"She safe?" Finn asked not looking up from the papers he was looking at.
"Yeah, she's fine." Siddeley answered, then mumbled, "I still don't see why you made me go..."
Finn looked up. "Siddeley, you barely do anything besides fly a plane and occasionally shoot things. You should get more field experience."
"By going into Lightning's sister's house while she's still sleeping!?"
"She was still sleeping?" Finn inquired.
"Yeah, she was having a nightmare and I woke her up... She appreciated it..."
"Oh." Was all Finn said, looking back down at what he was doing before. Siddeley sighed. He wondered if Finn could see through him... And see his feelings for Becca...
...
When Siddeley left, Becca decided it'd be a good time as any to take a shower and get dressed. Little did she know, while she was in the shower, two unwanted guests snuck in...
"Shh, Grem, listen..." Acer told his cousin.
"What?"
"I hear the shower..."
"So?"
"Wait...is she singing?" Acer asked when Life is a Highway in Becca's voice drifted through the house.
"Yeah. So?"
"...she has a pretty voice..."
"Ugh, would you be quiet, Acer?"
"What do we do now?"
"I guess wait for her to get out and kidnap her like the Professor told us..."
The two cousins waited in silence for the next few moments.
"...I wanna see her in the shower..."
"You're disgusting, Ace."
"Oh like you don't." Acer said crossing his arms.
"...okay maybe a little," he said quickly. "but that's not why we're here."
Suddenly the shower shut off.
"Quick, hide!" Grem hissed.
The two of them dived behind the couch and waited for Becca to come out into the TV room. While they were waiting, Acer looked over at Grem to see if he was looking-he wasn't-and pulled out his phone and began playing a game.
Grem glanced over. "What the... What the hell are you doing?" Grem whispered.
"Playing Tiny Towers, what does it look like I'm doing?" Acer replied.
For a while Grem watched Acer play, until they hear footsteps coming into the living room. Grem motioned for Acer to put his phone away, Acer obeyed, and waited for Grem's signal.
Becca plopped down on the couch with a sigh.
Too easy... Thought Acer, and glanced over at Grem, who nodded. The two of them silently rose to their feet, and Grem slapped his hand over Becca's mouth. She let out a muffled cry of surprise while Acer grabbed her arms and forced her to her feet.
"In case your wondering, we didn't watch you take a shower, though we did watch you pretty much to everything else..." Acer told her. "Except going to the bathroom, too..."
Becca raised an eyebrow at Acer, who shrugged. "What? Just thought you'd like to know... I mean we were stalking you, so I figured you were curious. Uh... Grem?"
"What?"
"How do we get her out of here without being seen...?"
...
Despite his objections, Finn made Siddeley go to see if Becca was still alright later. Grumbling about how unfair it was Holley sided with her elder spy, he sulked over to Becca's Radiator Springs house. Once there, he took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.
Silence followed.
A small wave of panic bubbled up inside Siddeley. He took another deep breath. "Okay... Sid, there's a perfectly good reason she's not answering. She went to the café, she went for a walk, went to spend time with Lightning..."
He knocked again. Deciding she wasn't there, he tried the doorknob... It was unlocked.
"Hello...? Becca...?" He called, then started walking through the house, hesitating at first. Walking into the living room, he saw the couch was slightly moved away from the wall. "Hm..." Siddeley narrowed his eyes. Something was wrong...
That's when his eyes found the paper on the floor.
Siddeley gasped and slowly walked over to pick it up... But it was blank.
"What the...?" He mumbled, then sighed. He was about to crumple the paper up when he noticed something. Again, he narrowed his eyes and held the note up to the light.
"There is no hope" is what it read.
""There is no hope"?" Siddeley repeated. "No hope for what?" Then he remembered what Becca told him.
"He and this other guy were telling me they had this plan... To kill me so Lightning would blame you and Finn and Holley... And then eventually the town would turn into this wasteland..."
Siddeley's eyes widened. He didn't think, he just ran back to Finn as fast as he could.
"Finn!" He yelled to Finn once he was in sight. Once they met each other, Finn spoke.
"Siddeley, what's the matter?"
Still out of breath, Siddeley breathed, "They have her."
Dun dun dunnn... Review please?
