A/N: More dreams of future tellings
Ch. 7- Warnings of despair
I wake up with a start and realize I am screaming. I shiver and remember my nightmare. Boogie was alive and had Bunny hostage, he was torturing Bunny after he took over the Warren with bugs. He wanted bug day back, but that wasn't going to happen, I resolve. I get up and go downstairs. I eat breakfast solemnly trying to figure out how to tell Bunny about my powers.
"Honey I heard you scream are you ok," Sally asks.
"No mother. Boogie is alive somehow and apparently going to hurt someone I care about," I say.
"You care about," she asks.
"Oh sorry mom. I'll give you the details later. I've got to go warn somebody," I say. I grab bacon off the plate and run towards the forest. I hop through the familiar shaped door and run to find Bunny.
*Bunny's POV*
"Bloody show pony why do you always show up at the worst times to bother me," I mutter.
"I don't know Bunny. Just coming to check on you," Jack says smiling mischievously. He notices two eggs painted and picks up the one Nessy painted. "This doesn't look like your painting style," he says.
"It's not. It's Nessy's, she painted it," I say.
"Nessy has been visiting you. I'm jealous," he says chuckling. Suddenly the tiny eggs get excited and run towards something.
"Oi if you little ones don't move you're going to get squashed. Now move outta my way I've got something important to tell Bunny," a voice mutters darkly.
"Nessy," Jack says excitedly when she appears.
"Hi Nessy, what are you doing back here," I ask.
"I have something important to tell you," she says.
"Should I go," Jack asks.
"No you can stay, if it's important to me, it's important to you too," I say.
Nessy nods in understanding and starts to speak. She says "I inherited my mom's power of seeing the future, but most of mine are in dreams."
"Whoa that's cool," Jack says and instantly both Nessy and I are glaring at him to shut up. "Sorry," he whispers suddenly.
"Boogie Oogie is still alive and he plans to overrun the Warren with his bugs and take it over to have Bug Day again. Also he took you and I hostage and tortured both of us. I don't know when this is happening but I wanted to warn you for your sake," she says out of breath from talking so fast.
"Whoa," Jack says immediately understanding the gravity of the situation.
"Are you sure it's Boogie," I ask knowing that Jack from Halloweentown killed him, well supposedly.
"Yes. I'm positive. I know my dad killed him, but my dreams don't lie. Though I even asked his minions if they know and they did not. But I am sure that it was him. That bastard better not be ruining things for me again, otherwise this time he pays," she says angrily.
"Thanks for warning me sheela. I can start getting the statues ready for defense," I says, noticing how anxious she looks.
"What did Boogie do to you anyways," Jack asks.
"A lot more than people know," she says with a dark look in her eyes. Jack nods in understanding and stops questioning her. I just get more curious about what happened in her past to make her this way.
Nessy sits down and all the little eggs surround her and she giggles at their antics. "I see you all are trying to cheer me up. Isn't that sweet," she says smiling slightly at them. I go talk to the egg statues and tell them to be more vigilant than normal.
I come back and notice Jack is sitting on the ground with Nessy as well. I see her laughing at the eggs that are now climbing all over Jack. One almost falls off of his head and he catches it. I see her smiling at him brightly and a flash of jealousy comes over me. "Oi little eggs you should go back to your houses," I mutter darkly. They follow my orders and as soon as they leave I notice that Nessy's face has gone more solemn. I sigh to myself and realize that I might like her more than I think I do.
Jack gets up and helps Nessy off the ground. After Nessy gets back up Jack comes over to me. "You're jealous side is showing Kangaroo. Better be more careful," he says to me quietly. I glare at him and Jack chuckles going back towards Nessy.
*Nessy's POV*
I notice Jack and Bunny's interaction and see Bunny slightly blush to himself. I did notice Bunny's reaction to Jack and I and the eggs was a bit odd. He can't possibly like me… can he? I look at Bunny curiously and notice that it's kinda getting late. "I should head back," I say.
"Oh ok Nessy," Jack says.
"Come back soon sheela," Bunny says as he smiles at me. I smile back and head home through the familiar tree with a pumpkin on it.
*Bunny's POV*
"You so like her," Jack voices.
I blush darkly and ask "Is it really that obvious?"
"A little bit Kangaroo. Though you should really learn how to hide your jealousy more," Jack voices.
I sigh and say "I know."
*Nessy's POV*
I walk into the house and find mom and dad sitting in the dining room waiting for me. "I know I'm not late, so what's wrong," I say. Noticing their faces I instantly ask "Were my dreams right is Boogie back?"
"Calm down Nessy from what we know he is dead," Jack says. I instantly relax and see their worried and curious faces.
"You want to know who was in my dream don't you," I ask. They nod. "Bunny was. So I went to warn him today, and speaking of which he's the reason why I've been visiting the forest so much. I've been going to the Warren," I say.
My dad instantly yells "What?!"
Sally places her hand on his arm before he yells at me more and says to me "It's great that you made a new friend. But you should've told us. We were worried about you."
"Sorry mom. You know me. I like keeping my secrets. Now dad are you going to ground me or not," I say.
"No. You're fine and not hurt. Just try and keep us in the loop next time," Sally says. I nod in understanding and go up to my room.
A/N: Seems like Bunny has feelings for Nessy. If he keeps showing Nessy his jealous side then she's going to figure out his feelings before he wants her to know.
