Chapter 3
"You…" The word came out of Kim's mouth in a growl, but Bonnie didn't even seem phased. "How could you…"
"Oh c'mon K'…" Bonnie said with a bit of a smirk. "It's only a stuffed animal. I mean… It's not like I was cooking Rufus." She stepped closer to Kim, and for a second it almost looked like Bonnie was actually considering…
The brunette never saw it coming. Kim's hand shot out and clamped around Bonnie's throat. Kim shoved the girl back about three steps, and slammed Bonnie into the refrigerator, causing numerous items stored on the top to fall over, and onto the floor.
Kim's other hand raised, and she held it for a moment, as if she was ready to slap the girl silly. Instead, it joined her other hand, and now both were clamped around the brunette's neck. All Bonnie did was smile.
"You're not Bonnie." Kim said once again with a growl. "Now who are you!" The red head slammed the brunette against the door of the fridge for good measure. Again, Bonnie just smiled.
"So help me…" Kim said as she started to squeeze on the neck in her grasp, and it felt like iron! Bonnie's smile widened, and she started to laugh. Laugh! She tilted her head backwards and continued laughing, and then suddenly without warning, Bonnie dropped her face to look right into Kim's eyes.
It was Bonnie's eyes that caused the little hairs on the back of Kim's neck to rise. They were black! And not just the iris, but the entire eyeball was as black as obsidian. Kim released her grip and backed away from the site, bumping into the kitchen table.
Bonnie spoke, but this time, it wasn't her voice. It was low, and had a bit of a growl to it. "Pitiful Kimberly... You are so easy to play. All I had to do was place an item in that pot that you had an emotional attachment to."
Immediately Kim knew what this… thing… that looked like Bonnie was saying. She knew every seam, stitch, and stain on Pandaroo, and what it all represented. She remembered when Ron first gave her the stuffed animal when they had graduated from Pre-School. She remembered when he had popped a stitch and Kim cried for hours until Ron took it upon himself to get a needle and thread, and repaired the small hole.
"This isn't about Pandaroo…" Kim said to herself. "This is about… Ron!"
"We have a winner." The 'thing' that looked like Bonnie said. "Do you realize just how much trouble I have gone through to get everything set up? To tweak both of your emotions in just a certain way? To see the fear in your eyes?"
The Bonnie thing laughed again in that low gravelly voice. "I feed on fear Kimberly Anne. Your fear… Don't you remember that shared dream between you and Ronald?"
Kim's eyes widened as she suddenly remembered something. It was a vague image of something changing shape… Changing into various forms of people they knew… That her and Ron knew. She looked over at the pot still sitting on the stove. I was wrong. That wasn't in my dream. That was something… different.
The visage of Bonnie took another step closer to Kim, and the red head slid along the table and around to the other side, putting the table between her and 'Bonnie'. "I'm not going to fight you." Kim said with clenched teeth.
"If you won't fight me…" Kim watched with her mouth open as Bonnie started to change from the top of her head down. The brown hair became black, and long. Her skin became a slight tinge of green, and her eyes turned green as well for a short moment, and then back to that same dark, obsidian color they were before. The clothes changed to the green and black suit of Shego. "…Then fight me!"
The voice was still the same, but now 'Shego' stood across the table from Kim. "Remember I told you that 'The gloves are coming off'…?"Now Kim remembered everything in her dream. From being at Bueno Nacho, to the stranger coming in, and the vision of…
"No…" Kim said, taking a step back, keeping the table between them. "You… you can't be." 'Shego' said nothing, and just nodded, taking a step forward and igniting her hands. Normally Shego's hands would by alight with green fire, but now they were a bright orange and red, like real flames.
"This house will burn with both of you in here. The world will be shocked, but after a while, they will understand." 'Shego's' voice changed and now it sounded like a news reporter on TV. "Teen Hero Kim Possible and her sidekick slash boyfriend Ron Stoppable were found burned to death in the house of their old High School classmate, Bonnie Rockwaller. Apparently, Kimberly had found out that her so-called boyfriend was cheating on her with another friend, Tara King. When Kimberly found the two inside the Rockwaller residence, she must have snapped, and burned the house down, taking all of their lives. It's not clear whether Miss Possible knew that Bonnie Rockwaller was also in the house, as she perished as well. Authorities say it looks like a Murder/Suicide."
Kim's jaw had dropped one more time, but not in shock. Something else was going on here, and she needed help. She needed someone to give her strength. She needed…
"Rooooon!"
…x x x x…
Tara didn't walk the last few steps up to the bed. She literally jumped, intending to land on top of Ron, but the young blond boy was too quick, and he rolled off the edge of the bed and onto the floor. He landed with a thump, and Ron heard the squeak of the bedsprings as Tara's body landed on top of the blankets. He continued his roll, and then pushed himself up into a standing position.
Now he was a good 3 or 4 feet from the end of the bed, and he saw the naked form of Tara lying on the bed. Wait… Naked?
Tara was lying on the bed wearing nothing but her 'Birthday Suit', and the black petals of the rose were positioned just so, to cover strategic parts of her body. The scene reminded Ron of a movie a few years back, but for the life of him he couldn't remember the title. One thing that he knew that was different was the rose petals in the movie were red.
Tara brought a hand up to her face, and placed a finger just between her red lips. She looked at Ron with a bit of a pout, and then smiled. She took the finger out of her mouth, and beckoned Ron to come to her. Somehow… he didn't move.
Tara then moved herself up on all fours, and was now almost slithering on the bed towards the end where Ron was just a few feet from. She gently bit her lip and asked, "Don't you want me Ronnie?"
"I…I… Uhh… Uhh…" He didn't notice that by now she was grinning predatorily. After Ron cranked his jaw up to its normal position, and popped his eyes back into his skull, the young man was able to finally speak. "I… I can't. You s… see Tara… Kim and I…"
Again a small pout formed on the cute blonde females face. "You don't need her Ronnie… You've got me. Now come here and give me a hug. Pweese?" Tara's blue eyes shone in the low light of the room. Her smile was very beguiling, and yet had a hint of mystery… and promise.
Tara then proceeded to sit on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed, and her hands folded on a bare knee. "You know Ronnie… If you don't want me… I can be other people."
"What… what do you mean?" Ron said as his knees started to quiver at the sight of Tara sitting on the edge of the bed, looking up at him with her blue eyes.
Without warning, Tara started to change. It began at the top of her head, as her hair turned from blond to black, and her skin became a darker color. The eyes took on a bit of a slant, and the rest of her body seemed to shrink a bit.
"Y… Yori?" Ron stuttered, as now Yori, from Yamanouchi, was now sitting on the edge of the bed, completely naked as Tara had been, and sitting in the same position. He involuntarily took in a breath and gasped as the dark eyes fluttered at him, begging him to join her on the soft sheets. "H… How did you…"
"I can be others as well." 'Yori' said. "I bet you would even like an older, and more… experienced girl… wouldn't you?"
The top of Yori's hair turned red-orange in color, and Ron was totally expecting to see Kim appear in front of him. Instead, the hair stopped just under the jaw line, and he saw that the eyes on the girl… no, woman… that now sat in front of him were teal in color. Her body was definitely more filled out than Kim. In fact… it was…
"Mrs. Dr. P.?" Ron said, surprised that he didn't even stutter.
"Hi Ronnie…" 'Anne Possible' said in a low and sultry voice. "I've always found you… attractive. I'll never understand how Kimmie was able to keep her hands off of you for all those years." She held her arms out, beckoning Ron to come to her, but somehow he again was able to stand his ground.
"This… This is not right. How… How can you… you be all these…"
"It is soooo… right." 'Anne Possible now changed as well, and once again, slowly from the head down, Kim's 'Mom' slowly turned back into 'Tara'. She looked up at him one more time. "Do you understand what I can do for you?"
"I… Uhh…" Ron had no idea what he should do. He was conflicted, and wondered a bit why this… 'person'… never turned into Kim.
Tara then stood, and started to sing in a quiet voice. "Who do you want me to be, to make you sleep with me?" She held out her arms, inviting Ron into a hug.
One foot stepped forward, and then the other. His arms raised, to take the young blond girl into his arms, and just before they made contact, Ron spoke. "I want you to be Ki…"
"Rooooon!"
Kim's voice cut through the haze in Ron's mind. He saw the image of Tara in front of him, still with her arms wide. But now he was starting to see who, and what she really was. 'Tara's' skin began to turn red in color, and her long blond hair moved on it's own accord up to the now equally red face.
The hair formed around the tip of the head and turned solid, becoming two very large horns looking not unlike a ram. The eyes were black as obsidian, and completely filled the socket. Her mouth curled into a sneer, revealing sharp teeth, and 'Devil Tara' threw her head back, and screamed, "I almost had you!"
Not knowing how he did it, as Ron was terrified beyond reason, he ran out of the bedroom, crashing through the closed door. He slammed into the walls of the hall, and then ran down the stairs, taking three at a time. Somehow he also instinctively knew that Kim was in the kitchen.
He barreled into the kitchen, and saw Kim standing with a look of horror on her face.
"R…Ron? Is… Is that really you?" Just as he took a step closer to Kim, Ron felt a bit of a breeze and stumbled, falling flat on his face. If he hadn't fallen, the blast from 'Shego's' hands would have incinerated him where he had stood.
Some how Ron scrambled back to his feet, pulled his pants up, and ran into Kim taking her in a hug. The reunion was short lived, as the 'Devil Tara' now strode into the kitchen, and stood next to 'Shego'. The two grabbed hands and the flames on 'Shego's' hands quickly spread across both of their bodies. It was as if the two were now starting to slowly meld into each other, and become one.
Kim grabbed Ron's hand, and tugged. "Cmon Ron! We've got to get out of here!" The two quickly ran through the kitchen, and out of the back door. Only, instead of running into cool, night air, they were back in the kitchen!
"What!" Both exclaimed, and the form of 'Devil Tara' had by now completely melded with "Shego'. It was still the body and face of Tara, albeit she was completely red with horns, but her body now was also covered in the flames that were previously contained in 'Shego's' hand.
'Devil Tara spoke in that low gravelly voice. "Two can enter… but only one can leave. Choose!"
"You… You want us to chose which one of us lives, and which one of us… dies?" Ron said, holding Kim close. 'Devil Tara' nodded. "Then take me."
"No Ron!" Kim said with almost a shout. "I love you too much… You need to live… Take me instead!"
"How touching…" 'Devil Tara' said, and laughed again. This time it was so loud that both Kim and Ron had to cover their ears. 'She' then spoke again. "Only one can leave… Now CHOOSE!"
A light came on inside Ron's head. Only one can leave… Can it be that simple? Could the devil have just given us… an out? He turned to Kim and grabbed her shoulders.
"Kim! Which door did you come through to enter the house?" Ron had an almost crazy look in his eye.
"The… The kitchen door. Why?" She wasn't quite sure what Ron was getting at, and Kim was feeling more than a bit frightened at the situation.
"I came in through the front door! We have to leave separately through the doors we originally came in! You entered after me, so I'm guessing you need to leave first."
"I hope your right Ron!" Kim said. "Now how are we…"
Before Kim could finish her sentence, Ron grabbed two legs on the kitchen table, and hoisted it in front of him. He let out what would be considered a "War Cry", and charged the 'Devil Tara'. The unexpected move surprised the evil being, and was slammed into a counter by the force of Ron's momentum. Kim took her cue after getting over the shock of seeing Ron perform this feat, and with a handspring vaulted herself into and through the kitchen door, crashing outside and landing on green grass.
…x x x x…
After Ron slammed the 'Devil Tara' into the counter, the Evil One incinerated the table only to find the blond boy gone. 'She' looked at the smashed kitchen door, cursed to 'herself', and then saw the flash of Ron's foot as he made a quick exit from the kitchen.
Making 'her' own shortcut, 'Devil Tara' smashed through the kitchen wall, sending wood and debris flying through the front room. One shard of wood speared the front door just as Ron's hand grabbed the knob to leave. He turned around, and there stood…"
"T… Tara?" It was Tara alright, but not the 'Devil Tara' that was trying to kill him and Kim earlier. This time, Tara looked more… real. She stood there in loose fitting pajamas that said "Little Devil" across her chest. She was rubbing her eyes as if she had just woke up.
"Ron? She said groggily. "(Yawn)… What are you doing in Bonnie's house?"
Ron then heard Kim's muted voice outside the front door. "Ron! Get out of there!"
"Is… Is that really you, Tara?" His eyes narrowed in confusion, and he noticed that there was an unblemished wall behind her where there should have been a gaping hole.
"Yeah…" She said slowly. "I'm house-sitting for the Rockwallers. Bonnie and her family are in Go City for the weekend. Why are you here?"
"N… Nothing. The Devil made me do it. I'm sorry I woke you Tara. Bye…"
Ron then turned, opened the door, and strolled out of the house. He was expecting to walk into cool night air, but instead he was greeted by a bright morning sun as it rose slowly over the neighbors houses. It was morning! Out of the corner of his eye Ron saw a red blur and turned just in time to catch Kim as she launched herself at him, knocking him down onto the grass.
As the two rolled around in the front yard laughing, the automatic sprinklers kicked on, soaking them. Their laughter continued after the initial surprise, and Tara just stood in the front door, wondering just what in the heck Kim and Ron were doing rolling around on the front yard of Bonnie Rockwaller's house.
For a brief second her eyes turned black as obsidian, and she mumbled to herself, "You win this one."
Her eyes then turned back to their normal blue color, and she turned back inside the house, shut the door, and went back to bed. It was too early in the morning to figure Kim and her boyfriend.
The end…
So… Did y'all expect anything like that? And is the "T" rating good enough?"
