POV Sammy
I scoffed at the council and stormed out of the door to find my friend. I hurried to the hospital wing and followed her scent to her bed. She had wires and tubes attached to her and Cash was sitting next to her bed. Her aunt was on the other side of her holding her hand. Cash looked up at me as I approached and started to stand in a defensive manner but relaxed when he saw that it was me.
"How is she?" I asked as I sat in the chair next to my brother.
"Not good. Broken ribs, broken cheek bone, concussion, scratches and bruises all over her and they can't seem to wake her. No one knows why." he said sadly.
"Her aunt is waiting on some spell supplies to see if she can heal her some but even if she can, we still don't know why she won't wake up." he added and her Aunt shot us both a glare.
"She won't wake up because she doesn't want to. Would you want to come back to this? Something in her dreams is holding her and I can't b
POV CraigAlvin and Clay and I ushered Sally out of the office."What do you need for the spell?" Alvin asked her."It's not a terribly large list but I'm hoping that Kitty had some of the herbs I need stored around here. It would save us time." She replied and they all looked at me."Yeah. She has some in the pantry and some in our room. I don't know if she'd want you to take them though." I said carefully.I didn't know much about how open witches were with each other. I had only known Kitty. Sally smiled at me."I don't think that my niece will mind if I use them. Especially under the circumstances. Most covens share herbs and materials on a regular basis." she assured me and I nodded reluctantly.I showed her the pantry and luckily she found most of what she need."Kitty sure has stocked this place well." she marveled.Alvin, Clay and I all nodded proudly."Yeah, she was religious about foragi
POV CraigI 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
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
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
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
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
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
