5 Years Later
POV Kitty
I nervously paced the room for a moment as I thought back to all the little moments that brought me here. I smiled as I looked out the window. It was a bright November day. 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. We were all nervous that they would order us to disband but we were pleasantly surprised to find that they were completely supportive of us.
It didn't hurt that we h

The Nightmare Before
I was 15 when everything changed. I was completely unprepared for my entire life to be upended. No one was. I still remember the expression my Dad had when he realized that what was happening. My nightmares won't let me forget. That face haunts my nights and then I wake to the real nightmare, my new life. Let me back track though, we'll start at the beginning.My name is Katherine Hudson but my friends all call me Kitty. I started as a fairly normal 15 year old. I grew up in a small town in Indiana right near Lake Michigan. We lived a couple hours from Chicago. I lived near the woods and spent most of my weekends camping out there when I was in middle school, a fact that has saved my life more than once. I was considered kinda nerdy in middle school but things were changing since I started high school. I made the freshman cheer squad and had made friends with some of the popular kids. I still loved my old nerd friends though.For as long
The Nightmare During Part 1
"Thanks for picking me up" I said to Dad as I got into the car."No problem, sweetie. How was the dance?" He asked.I told him about the fun we had and how nice it was to spend time with the girls last night."Did you get the pictures that we took?" I asked and he nodded."I did. They were awesome. Thanks! What are you planning on doing for the rest of the day?" Dad asked."I have homework and then sleep. I'm exhausted" I replied and Dad nodded. I got right to work when we got home as Dad worked around the house. I finally finished a couple hours later, right as Dad walked back in from mowing the lawn."Do you want some lunch?" Dad offered and I nodded. We made some sandwiches and went into the living room to eat. Dad turned on the news. It was in the middle of a strange story."We aren't sure what is causing the rash of illnesses
The Nightmare During Part 2
WednesdayI got up late and went to the kitchen after making a trip to the bathroom. I was surprised to see that Dad wasn't up yet. I made a bowl of cereal and went to watch the news. The reports were terrifying. This illness was now being dubbed The Nightmare since it made you sleep more and more until you just didn't wake up. The Nightmare was being reported in every country in the world and every state in the US."It's impossible to determine the death toll or how many are infected at this time. Officials are now advising to stay home if possible. The hospitals are overrun as are all clinics and doctor offices. Stay home. Stay safe" the anchor said as my Dad finally walked in. I quickly turned off the tv."How are you?" I asked with concern. Dad grinned at me."I'm fine. I just stayed up too late" He replied and I nodded."Lets watch some movie
The Nightmare The Woods
WednesdayI got up early and ate my berries while I made a list of things to pack. The house was too dangerous to stay in if the radio was right. I was going to have to start moving food and provisions to my various campsites to be safe. On top of that, I made a pack that I would need to keep with me at all times. That's the list I was working on.RadioFlashlightFire starterStakeKnifeFlaresSomething ironSomething silverBow and arrowsFood and water for one dayI looked at my list and hoped that I was remembering everything. I wasn't very good with the bow, Dad bought it for me after I read Hunger Games and begged him for one. I tried to shoot with it a few times but got bored. I was going to have to remedy that. I grabbed my strongest book bag and filled it with the items, adding a picture of Mom and Dad and one of all my friends in a bi
The Nightmare Rescued?
I drifted in and out of consciousness as I tried to stay awake to figure a way out of this mess."Dammit, Clay! I told you not to follow me!" I heard a voice yell. Clay? and that voice... I knew it."I'm glad that I did. You know that one of us should just bite her now. The pack is going to lose their minds over her. You or I will have to claim her and look at her! We will have to fight every wolf around" another voice said. I recognized the voices. Both of them. And what were they talking about? Pack? Wolf? I felt myself being lifted up."She's so sick. We can't just leave her. Mom will know what to do. Grab her pack and bow." the first voice said. I fluttered my eyes open and saw one of my oldest and most trusted friends."Craig? Am I dead?" I asked, confused. He smiled down at me as he carried me through the forest."No. You'
The Nightmare Answers
I looked toward Craig's family and smiled."I would like to thank you for all your hospitality. I would hate to overstay my welcome so I can leave if I'm causing difficulties" I began. Craig's dad stepped forward and hugged me."Of course not! You are like family. We can't let you live alone in the woods" he said as he let me go."Thanks, Mr. O'Brien" I replied."Call me Johnny" he said as he led me over to the couch.I hugged Maria and then Clay."Hey, Kitty" Clay said but he wouldn't look in my eyes.I looked at him closely. I remembered what he said l

"Have you decided about joining the pack?" Colton asked after a moment."Can I sleep on it?" I asked.I wanted to talk it over with Craig but I was pretty sure that I was going to join."Sure." Colton agreed."I made us lunch, lets all go into the dinning room" Maria suggested and we followed her.Craig held my hand and sat next to me at the table."Do you need help?" I asked Maria."Sure! Thanks! Can you help me bring everything out?" Maria asked and I stood up.Craig followed me. We both took out dishes and Craig g
The Nightmare Decisions
I looked at Clay first. He wouldn't look at me at first but he finally looked into my eyes. I saw a fire there but I didn't know what caused it. Anger or lust? I wondered.{He's mad that Craig is going to be Alpha. He's also mad that Craig and you are close. He wants you. Be careful. His anger can change to something very dark} the voice in my head explained."Clay, I heard you last night. In the woods? You wanted to bite me. To change me. Without my consent." I said softly to him. His face went from confusion to shocked to embarrassed."I just wanted to protect you. From guys like Neil. And so you would be able to join the pack. I was afraid that you were going to die." Clay stammered.
