Pain
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56POV Craig
I felt pain on the other side of my face and I couldn't help but fall to the floor. I could hear the others crying and yelling for me but they all sounded like background noise. The pain was worse only because I now knew that Kitty was experiencing this pain first hand. It broke my heart.
I felt a sharp pain in my ribs and I struggled to breath.
Then the burning set in all over my body. It felt as if someone was rubbing fire all over me. I felt disgusted and violated. In an instant I knew what was happening.
"Please, Goddess NO! Don't let them do this to her!" I screamed.
The burning then went to my neck again and I felt her panic. Her sadness was overpowering. Someone was going to take everything from her. As the pain finally subsided, I felt her heart break. Something terrible was happening.
Then I felt so much pain first in my jaw and then in my ribs again. This pain was far worse than any I had felt before.

POV SammyI stared at my friend helplessly. She's been asleep for 16 long hours and no one can tell us why. I've been sitting next to her the entire time. I refuse to leave her until she wakes. Being a vampire has it's advantages since I don't really have to move or do anything. I just watch over her. Cash has been doing the same.Locke is here too. He's left a few times but keeps coming back. He had to do a few things for the council. He looked annoyed when they called for him and seemed even angrier when he came back a few moments ago.Speaking of the council, they came a few hours ago to see Kitty. They spoke in hushed tones as Cash, Locke and I glared at them. I blamed them and I think the boys did too. They allowed Kitty to be hurt like this and they enabled Nick to become the monster he now is.Her family was allowed to visit with her shortly after that. Sage was escorted back to their room about an hour after healing Kitty despite
The Nightmare The First Step
POV KittyI looked at Tommy and smiled as I sat up. He rushed to hug me and I pulled him down to sit next to me. I just needed him close. He always made me feel safe and loved."What happened?" I asked looking to Sammy."Your Aunt Sage healed you. The Council still believes that Nick is your mate and is trying to talk him down. They think that he hurt you because they told him that he needed to control you. You have a few days away from him at best." she answered honestly.That was one of the best things about Sammy. She didn't mince words or pull punches."I'm so sorry Kitty. Cash and I believed everything they told us. I can't believe how naive we were. I will do anything to help you and your family get out of this mess." she added but I waved my hand away."I know, Sammy. I know that you and Cash would never betray mean intentionally. What else is going on? How's my family?" I pushed."They came to visit you a few
The Nightmare Wake
POV CraigI opened my eyes with a gasp. I was surprised to see that I was lying in our room on our bed. It was so like the dream that I had just left that I thought for a moment that I was still there. That all changed when I spotted Abby was asleep in one of the chairs a moment later. She stirred when I woke and opened her eyes. She blinked and then jumped up."Oh, thank the Goddess. We were starting to wonder if you were dead." she sighed and hugged me for a moment.Her eyes glazed over and I knew that she was mind linking the others. Soon the room was flooded with our friends and the Alpha and Beta along with a relieved looking Sally."I was so afraid that I did something wrong and you were stuck." she cried out."Stuck where?" Paul asked."In the dreamworld." she answered."That can happen? Why didn't anyone tell me that?" I asked with a fearful voice."Oh be quiet. You're fine." Sally snapped playful
The Nightmare Ritual
POV KittyLocke and Tommy were waiting for me in the room when I came out of the bathroom. "Can we go see my family?" I asked and Locke nodded.Tommy looked excited and grabbed my hand as Locke led us out the door. The guards nodded to him."I'm taking them to the witches." Locke said coldly and kept walking. We followed him back to the room that my family was in. I noticed that there was still a keypad and two guards on the door. Locke typed in a code and the door opened. I made a mental note to get that code from Locke later."These two are to stay here from now on. They are working on spells for the council. Get them anything they need and be sure to get them beds, clothing and food." Locke commanded the guards."Yes sir." they said.We started to walk in but Locke stopped."And make sure the food is vegetarian for all except him." he added as he gestured to Tommy and then continued in.We wa
The Nightmare Learning About the Pack
POV Craig I spent the rest of the day with Sally. She was so cool and I was hopeful that she would help me when I tried to convince the other witches to stay around here. After she made the spell for tonight so I could meet Kitty again, I suggested that I give her a proper tour around the pack. She agreed and I mind linked Colton who promptly agreed. I showed her all around the pack house and grounds. I even took her out to the farm and the woods in the company of several warriors to ensure her safety. I encouraged her to talk to everyone. She never failed to asked them what they thought of Kitty. They always said about the same thing. They love her. She's like their sister or daughter and some of the youngest even said mother or aunt. She's their friend. Sh
The Nightmare Getting Ready
POV KittyI could feel the power flow through me. I turned to my Grandmother and she grinned at me. I was surprised that I could feel my family. I couldn't link them like a werewolf but I could still feel them like a tickle in the back of my head. I couldn't feel their feelings or hear their thoughts but I could feel their love and support towards me. I could even feel my Aunt Sally. She radiated pride towards me as did the rest of my family. "This is amazing." I gushed and my Aunt Sasha grinned back at me. "Try casting something." she suggested."Like what?" I asked and she shrugged."Anything." she retorted.{Say this} my inner voice spoke up. I repeated the words and suddenly the water from a nearby pitcher flew up and seemed to roll itself in a ball. I grinned as did my cousins, Sammy, Cash, Locke, Tommy and uncles but my aunts and grandmother looked confused.{Now say this to release it} t
The Nightmare New Developments
POV KittyThe next two days were much of the same. We worked on spells, Locke, Sammy, Cash and Tommy would stop us to make sure we would eat and sleep and I would meet Craig in my dreams. Craig and I were closer than ever. We told each other everything and I found myself falling more and more in love with him. Locke went to the council and after some deliberation, they agreed to accept the werewolves into the pack. Locke met with Abby afterwards and they confirmed the plan. She was coming along with Neil, Clay, Alvin, Vic, Paul and Stone. I was a bit nervous to see Clay and Stone again but Craig had told me what they had done and that they had changed their ways. I hoped that he was right.They were scheduled to come into the Lair the next morning. We were going to wait two days after that until the guards relaxed about them a bit and then we were going to make our move and escape. That night we all sat down for dinner and
The Nightmare Anger
POV KittyI gasped as Nick stood and took a step towards me. I stepped back and Cash pulled me behind him. "How dare you get between us?!!" Nick roared but Cash didn't move."We just want to make sure that Kitty is safe and comfortable." Locke soothed and I heard Nick let out a frustrated sigh."Let me see her!" he demanded in a calmer voice a few moments later.Cash turned to me and I nodded. He slowly stepped to the side and I looked at the floor for a moment, trying to brace myself as I felt Nick's eyes travel all over me. It disgusted me and I could barely hide the cringe on my face. Finally, I looked up at him. In his eyes were chaos and madness and just glancing at him made me remember the terrible things he had done to me the last time we were in the same room together. I turned my head slightly and blinked back the tears. I hated that I was scared of him. I hated that I felt sad and broken because of him. I deteste

The air was just beginning to turn into the crisp fall air I loved but it was still warm and lovely. It was a perfect day.My grinned turned even bigger as I watched the pack set up the chairs and aisle in the back yard. They all worked together and soon everything looked to be done.The pack had grown so rapidly in these past few years. News got out about the pack that accepted everyone including Humans and soon Supernaturals and Humans were arriving at our doorstep in droves. The Supernatural Council even visited a few years ago.

The Nightmare Funeral
POV KittyThe next morning I awoke in Craig's arms. I looked up to see him already awake and staring at me with a smile."Creeper." I teased and he chuckled in his raspy morning voice."Only for you, Darlin'" he replied and I blushed and tried to hide my face."Aww. I love that blush and I work hard for it. Don't hide it from me." he teased back."Stttooopp" I whined blushing even more. "Alright, alright. Are you hungry, still tired? What do you want or need?" he asked seriously.That's when it hit me that today was my Grandmother's funeral. I could feel my face fall and Craig must have noticed it too."Don't do that, baby. I know that today will be difficult for you but I'll be by your side the entire time. So will the whole pack. You aren't alone anymore. You will never be alone again, alright?" he said as he looked deep into my eyes.I nodded and he stared at me for a second."I'm so sorry tha
The Nightmare After Party
POV CraigAfter the joining oath ended, Kitty rushed off to see her family. I watched her but didn't join them right away. I wanted her to have a bit of time with her family and I didn't want to suffocate her. In reality though, I wanted nothing more than to go pick her up and lock her in our room with me. My wolf and I were still trying to calm down from the recent events and it was taking all my willpower not to act like the caveman I really was. Clay and Luna came up to me and I smiled at their joined hands. Clay introduced me to Luna and I smiled warmly at her and shook her hand. She returned my smile. I looked back over to check on Kitty and Clay followed my gaze."Bro, is this killing you? I didn't think you'd let her leave your side. At least not yet." he teased.I scoffed but cringed internally knowing that he understood that this was torture for me."She seems so sweet and lovely." Luna chimed in with a calming voice and
The Nightmare Growing
POV KittyWhen we got back to the pack house. Colton ordered everyone to go rest and to regroup that evening for a huge dinner. "Will everyone have a bed?" I asked Craig and he smiled at me as he carried me up to our room."Darlin' we don't even use half of the rooms in this place. Everyone will be fine." he assured me.He walked into our room and I took a deep breath. "I can't believe that I'm finally here again. I've missed this place so much." I sighed as he set me on the bed."Sally helped me set your alter back up and I was sure to bring all your things back and put them away." Craig said as he opened the cupboard to show me the alter."Thank you so much! I was worried about my Mother's book." I smiled at him."Like I would leave something so important to you." he scoffed."I'm gonna take a shower. I feel gross." I stated as I stood up."Can I join you, Darlin'?" he asked.I looked u
The Nightmare Not In Time
POV CraigWe raced after Kitty into the hallway. The group that was originally there was gone but I didn't have time to think about it as Kitty ripped open the door on the left side of the hall. This was the door that Sally, Paul, Sammy, Zeke, Kitty's Grandmother and Sammy had gone in. The room looked similar to the one we found Nick in but it was all but destroyed. Drawers and shelves were scattered on the floor. We could hear crying and screaming. My blood chilled as we made our way to the sound. I tried to grab Kitty back when we saw what was happening but she was too fast and ran towards the chaos.In the center of the room stood Nick's mother. She was holding Kitty's Grandmother who was obviously dead. Saga and Sally were crying and screaming as Paul, Zeke and Sammy looked on in disbelief."She's dead. You are all next. I will take your power just as I've take hers." Nicks mother laughed.Kitty slipped in between her Aunts an
The Nightmare Just In Time
POV CraigI woke to the sound of a scream. Not just any scream, it was Kitty's scream. The sound had me jumping to my feet. As I stood, Clay looked over to me. He looked like he was just getting up as well. I looked around to see Neil standing looking in horror around the room. Abby and Tommy were still on the ground but I could see them breathing.I could hear a voice talking and even laughing faintly. Clay, Neil and I all exchanged a look and crept towards the noise. Just as we were about to turn the corner we heard a sound that I never want to hear again. It was Kitty screaming but it was such a raw and primal sound, full of heartbreak and fear but yet resilience and bravery too. It was bittersweet and made my eyes tear up.A bright light appeared and we rushed towards it. We were shocked to see that it was Kitty. She was literally radiating light. It washed over us and I felt a calmness in my soul. When it faded along with her scream, I was
The Nightmare Disbelief
POV KittyTrigger warningI watched in disbelief as Craig fell to the ground. Nick stood behind him with a syringe and an evil smile."What did you do?!!!" I screamed at him."Don't worry. I just knocked him out. He'll be fine. Well, he would be fine if I wasn't going to kill him." Nick smirked at me.Nick went to bend over Craig's body but Tommy to the chance to tackle him then. Nick fell with Tommy on top of him. Tommy stayed on him and began punching Nick in the face as hard as he could. Nick took a few good hits before he pushed Tommy off him and Tommy went flying into the wall. I watched as he slid to the ground, unconscious.I looked around the room to see all my friends on the ground. I was just glad that they were all alive still. I took a deep breath and glared at Nick."Now it's just you and I." Nick smirked and I narrowed my eyes at him."How did you do that?" I gestured toward
The Nightmare Doors
POV CraigI took a deep breath and gripped Kitty's hand as Clay swung the door open. We silently walked in and looked around. We looked to be in a giant storage area. There were cabinets and drawers all over the walls and lining down the middle. I turned to look at Kitty in confusion. She shrugged with just as much confusion in her eyes.Tommy looked towards us and opened his mouth to speak when we heard a shuffling sound. Neil gestured for us to stay quiet as we crept towards the noise silently. We crept around another corner to see Nick frantically searching through drawers and throwing stuff around. We watched as he grabbed something and nodded. He threw that object into a gym bag that was on the floor next to him. Then he continued searching.Clay and I glance at each other but then I saw Nick freeze in my peripheral vision. My eyes snapped to him and I watched in horror as he took a deep breath and smirked."Kitty." he said and turne
The Nightmare Fight
POV KittyI watched as Nick lost his last shred of sanity and humanity. I could literally see that light die in his eyes. I knew that I should be scared. I was standing in front of great evil. This vampire and his coven were powerful and worse than that, they had no morals or standards. They would rip us apart if we let them.I wasn't scared though. I felt as though everything in my life had led up to this moment. Every thing I had gone through in the woods, with the pack, losing my Dad, even losing my Mom. All of it led here. I knew then that this was what I was meant to do. This was bigger than Nick wanting me as his. This was about an evil council oppressing and harming the very Vampires they were supposed
