A/N: Nessy's past starts to seem like its coming back to bite her.
Ch. 5- Future Tellings and painting
I wake up with a start and try and breathe normally. I just woke up from a nightmare of the Warren being overtaken by bugs. I know I have mom's gift of telling the future, but that doesn't make sense. Boogie is dead. Or at least I think he is. I lie back down in bed and sigh. I shiver and curl up in a ball.
I fall back asleep and wake up with the sun glaring on my face. I wince and get up and go downstairs to find breakfast waiting for me. I start to eat and Sally comes in and sees my face. "Are you ok my dear," she asks.
"Just had a nightmare mom. Nothing I'm not used to you," I say.
"Was it a dream? Or the future," she asks.
"I hope a dream, but if it's the future then I need to go warn somebody," I say.
"I see. Want to tell me what it was," she asks.
"Are we sure Boogie is dead," I ask.
She pales and says "Why do you ask that?"
"I had a dream that bugs are overflowing somewhere and he's the only one with that power," I say.
"Honey, there's no way he's still alive. You're father killed him," she says.
"You sound so sure, but there's only three people who could know if he is alive or not," I say.
"Honey no. You can't trust them," she warns.
"I know mother, but it's the only way to find out," I say. I get up and leave to find the three famous sidekicks of Oogie Boogie. I walk to his old lair and find the three inside the rundown shack.
"Wednesday what do you need from us," Shock asks.
"You don't normally come to these parts," Lock says.
"I need you three to spill the beans. Is Boogie dead or not," I ask.
"That he is. Or what we know of him," Barrel answers.
"Why do you ask," Shock asks.
"I had a dream that says otherwise," I say.
"Ohhh, you saw the future and it seems like he was in it," Lock says.
"Indeed. Thank you for letting me know," I say. I nod to them and leave.
"She says he's alive. We have to find him," Shock voices. The other two nod and they start their search as I start mine for more paint.
I come back to the house with my haul of paint supplies and a canvas to make sure if my parents find out I'm painting again. "Find out anything," Sally asks when I come in.
"They didn't know. So I'm going to take my mind off of it by painting," I say. She nods in understanding and I climb up to my room. I open the box and get the tiny egg out. "Alright new friend time for you to be decorated," I say.
I start to paint the egg and smile at the feeling of familiarity. I haven't painted in a while and so it feels wonderful. I realize the egg has taken on a Halloween theme. "Ops sorry my dear. You won't be looking Easterly anytime soon," I say to the egg.
Mom then calls me to dinner and I hide the egg back in the box. I walk back down to the dining room and eat my food faster than I normally do. "Someone's in a rush to go painting again," Sally observes.
"Yea. I got inspiration," I say. I run back up to my room and start painting the egg again. I notice that I am now painting a skull on it. I notice that it also now has a spider on it as well. I didn't notice painting it. I chuckle to myself and realize when I'm in the zone of painting I do not remember much. I pause for awhile and yawn. I fall onto my bed after I hide the egg back in its box. I fall asleep suddenly because I am worn out.
A/N: Yes her past is with Boogie Oogie. Wants to take what she stole from him back.
