Nightmare 2
Daddy...
A small child about the age of five comes running up to a Mexican looking woman with long dark hair, and doe brown eyes.
"Mommy!!"
The girl runs up to her mother happily.
The woman grabs her lifts her up then gives her a big kiss on the cheek.
"So how was your first day of school?"
"Good." The girl giggles.
"So are you ready to go surprise daddy?"
The girl widely grins and and nods.
"Yeah? Yeah?' The woman moves in closer and begins giving the girl a flurry of kisses causing her to laugh uncontrollably. 'Lets go."
She carries the girl to the car and sits her down, closes the door, goes around to the drivers side and gets in.
The girl buckles her seat belt.
"Ready?"
"Yep!!"
The car pulls up to an office building, and within minutes the woman and the girl are standing in front of the large building, the girl looking up.
"Now Rhiannon remember to be good."
"K!" The child says almost too enthusiastically.
They make their way inside and to a front desk.
"Takashi Okamura, please." The woman says to the clerk at the desk.
"Ok, well I'll page him for-' The man looks up. 'Oh hello Marie.'(1) He says rather joyful and surprised. 'Go on up, I'll page him for you."
"No, no. I want to surprise him."
"Never mind then. Just go on up."
"Thank you. Come on hunny."
She grabs Rhiannon's hand and they walk to the elevator.
A Japanese looking man with short black hair, and black eyes, in a business suit, is walking down a hallway reading through a manila folder with a pen in his mouth.
"Daddy!!"
"Huh?" The man looks up, and sees Rhiannon running toward him.
"Hey baby."
He closes the folder to bend down and gives the child running at him a hug.
"What are you doing here?"
"We came to surprise you." Maria says as she walks up.
"Hey.' He smiles, stands while still holding Rhiannon and gives Maria a kiss. 'Well I am almost done here, so if you want to wait we can all go out to eat. Besides...' He looks at Rhiannon. 'I want to hear all about your first day." He puts her down.
"We'll wait downstairs.' Maria says. 'Come on hunny." she grabs Rhiannon's hand.
About twenty minutes had past before Takashi was seen leaving the elevator. Maria and Rhiannon stand up.
"What took so long?" Maria asks.
Takashi just sighs.
"What is it?" Maria asks.
"I'll tell you later.' Takashi says, looking over to Rhiannon and smiles. 'Lets go and get something to eat. I want to hear all about your day."
Rhiannon smiles happily.
"K!" She responds with a childish vigor.
Everything begins to blur then fade to black.
The family is seen eating and laughing at a table. Then everything immediately goes black again.
Takashi and Maria tuck Rhiannon in and turn her light out.
"So are you going to tell me what's wrong?" Maria asks giving him a cross look.
Takashi sighs.
"I have to go on an emergency business trip in a couple of days."
"What?! Where are you going? And, why didn't you say anything before?"
"Tokyo.' He says offhandedly. 'And she just looked so happy from her first day at school... I didn't want to spoil it for her."
Silence falls into the room then everything fades away once again.
"Daddy don't go!" Rhiannon pouts as her mother holds her.
"I'll be back in a week. Why are you acting to weird?"
"I-I don't feel good..."
Takashi raises an eyebrow.
"And that is the reason you don't want me to go? Because you don't feel good?"
Rhiannon nods.
"You...' sniffle 'not..." sniffle. Then she begins to cry.
Takashi looks at Maria like, "what the hell is wrong with her".
Maria shakes her head unknowingly.
"Are you afraid something is going to happen?" Takashi asks the now frightened Rhiannon.
She nods.
"Oh hunny.' He grabs Rhiannon and holds her. 'Nothing is going to happen."
She shakes her head disagreeing.
"And how do you know that something will happen, hmm?"
She shrugs.
"Ok then.' He digs into his luggage and pulls out a small box, then opens it. 'Well how about I give you this.' He pulls out a black rosary. 'It was your ojii-'(2) he gives off a small laugh, 'I mean, your grandfather's who gave it to me. So now I am gonna let you hold it, that way no matter what happens, I'll come back to get it." He smiles.
Rhiannon smiles weakly and nods.
Takashi then gathers his things and kisses Rhiannon and Maria good-bye then leaves for the airport.
Maria just laughs slightly looking down at the rosary Rhiannon had clutched in her hand.
"You father never does make much sense sometimes, does he?"
But Rhiannon just stares at the door her father just left through. Silent tears running down her face.
A nice looking black business car drives down a freeway. It begins to go around a turn and as it does it's tire bursts causing the car to flip over the barrier, between the separated two plus story high freeways and plummets to the ground.
Everything slowly fades to black as all that can be heard is a heart beat, beginning to beat slower.
Thump, thump... thump, thump... thump... thump... thump... ... thump... ... thump...
Then it's quiet.
A middle aged man is looking at a mangled body on a slab, then sighs.
"Why do I have to be the one that calls?..." He asks himself in Japanese.
He grabs the phone and dials a number.
"Poor bastard, his family is going to be devastated." He says in English.
The phone rings and Maria answers the phone.
"Hello... Yes this is her... Wha-' tears begin to run down her face.
Rhiannon looks up at her mother whom looks kinda green, then grabs the rosary now around her neck.
Maria slowly puts the phone down then looks up, and sees Rhiannon clutching the rosary. Maria begins to walk to Rhiannon.
"Daddy's not coming back... is he?" Rhiannon asks tears moving down her face.
Maria just can't choke the words out and grabs Rhiannon, as they both start fully crying.
The man puts the phone down, then turns around and gasps.
The body on the slab is gone, no trace what so ever can be seen of it.
Takashi is seen stumbling down a alley way... then as some poor bystander turns into it, Takashi grabs them, and bites into there neck.
-End Dream-
A/N: Sorry if it didn't turn out well, I think I could have done a better job but I don't know much about the Kuei-Jin.
(1) Short for Maria (obviously).
(2) Takashi was about to say, "ojii-san (O-G-san)" Japanese for grandfather.
