Panda sat at the bar in her kitchen. Rodrigo, Isaac, and Taylor would be there anytime now. She twirled the straw in her drink. The house was quiet and she was alone. Her mom and Steve had taken Darla to the park when her mother had gotten back from the station. "Guys you should be here by now." she said looking at the clock above the window. She walked over to the window and looked to see if they were coming up the road. Storm clouds were moving in. A crack of lightning made her jump. "Panda." She turned in time to see a dark dressed figure run away. "Oh, God." she said. He was dressed the same, same hair, same face. He was back. "Panda." He was flashing all around her now. "Panda I'm back." he said in his raspy voice. "No your not real." she said running to the other room. "Panda it's all your fault everyone blames you." he said from behind her. "No." she screamed. "I'll be back. You can't get rid of me." he said turning and walking away. "No, no, no, your not real, no!" she screamed. "Panda, Panda, wake up." Panda opened her eyes she was on the couch and Isaac was sitting beside her. "Panda it was just a dream." he said wrapping his arms around her. "It's ok we're here now." he said trying to comfort her. "No Isaac. It's not ok. He's back." she said tears now running down her cheek.
