In the Moon's Light

Chapter 22: I thought the dream was bad

Kat's POV:

"Kat, how do you feel?"

"Like I was hit by a train and then run over by a car. What.....what the hell happened?"

"What do you remember from last night?"

"I remember us talking and...........crying into your shirt as I feel asleep. I remember feeling dizzy and......falling and hitting my head somehow. I-I don't understand......how long have I been passed out?"

"Almost nine hours. Any idea what may have this little episode Kat?"

I look at the doc, she would find this fascinating right now. Damn her. This could have been caused by silver or poisoned blood but since I just drank blood yesterday I'm going to go with the poisoned blood. But that would mean that I was trapped in my mind if I was out for that long, so how did they wake me up?

"Yeah, maybe........h-how did you wake me up if I was out for nine hours?"

"Well, I tried every medical way in the book, but nothing worked so the Professor tried and that still didn't work. Then we tried, well we tried.........Michael maybe you should tell her."

"The Professor took me inside your mind to bring you out, it was the only way."

I feel my breathing increase and I look at the Professor trying to gage how much he might have seen while they were in  there. I can feel myself panicking as I glance back towards Michael, avoiding eye contact with him. I need to know what he saw, but I don't really want to know.

"Doc, Professor, could you guys excuse Michael and me for a moment please."

"Of course, we will be in the hallway if you need us."

I nod my head and wait until I hear the door shut behind them before turning back to Michael and sitting up slowly because of the damn shaking. I look up at his face and he looks confused but also scared. I don't know whether he is scared of me or for me but I can't take seeing that look in his eyes regardless of which type of fear it is, so I look back down at the floor of the room. Depending on what he saw while he was in mind, his fear is understandable and even justifiable.

"Michael, I need to know what you saw in my mind. Please just tell me and get it over with."

"I-I saw you crying and shaking in pain over my dead body, while others taunted you and said it was your fault."

"What.....what did we look like?"

"What do you mean?"

"What did the others and myself look like?"

"I mean I didn't get that great of a look at them, but they were a man and a woman. The man had black hair and the woman had red hair. That's all I can really tell you, I was mostly concerned about getting you to come with me."

I nod my head slowly....Vicki and Raul. Yeah, my mind would have them taunt me, makes sense really. Out of the whole tribe and individual packs we have the most hatred for each other. Funny really our hatred for each other, once allies and even pack members now nothing but enemies. He hasn't told me what I looked like though.

"Did they say anything?"

"You called me your link. You were called a lu guroo or something strange like a few times."

"It's pronounced lou ga-roo, it's the name of the tribe members."

"Oh....Kat what is a link?"

"It's.....it means a perfect match, a soulmate. It's like love at first sight but stronger in depth."
